This saw is equipped with a Sliding Carriage system.
Loosening the slide lock screw will release the slide and allow
the Cutting Head to move forwards and backwards. (Fig. 26)
The saw blade is lowered into the workpiece and then pushed
to the rear of the machine to complete a cut. This type of cut
can be used for cutting wide pieces.
