Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise
or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may
result in serious personal injury and cause damage
to the tool and/or the workpiece.

After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal
vise to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends
to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to
avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are
upper and lower fences) adjustment
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper
•
and lower fences are secured firmly.
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of
•
the tool, especially the blade, contacts the
upper and lower fences when fully lowering
and raising the handle in any position and while
moving the carriage through its full range of
travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with the
fence this may result in kickback or unexpected
movement of the material and serious personal
injury.
