• Allow the speed of the blade to do the work, there is no need
to apply undue pressure to the Cutting Handle.

SLIDE CUTTING
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. 38)
The saw blade is lowered into the work-piece and then pushed
to the rear of the machine to complete a cut. This type of cut
can be used for cutting wide pieces.
• Position the work-piece on the table and against the fence
and secure with clamp(s) as appropriate.
• Loosen the slide lock screw.
• Grasp the Cutting Handle and pull the cutting head forward
until the arbor (centre of saw blade) is over the front edge of
the work-piece. (Fig. 39)
• Operate the ON/OFF motor trigger switch and allow the saw
blade to reach full speed.
• Push the Cutting Handle all the way down and cut through
the leading edge of the work-piece.
• Gently push the cutting handle rearwards towards the fence
completing the cut.
• Always push the cutting head to the full rear position during
each cut. (Fig. 40)
• When the cut has been completed, release the trigger switch
and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the cutting head to rise to its upper position, with
the lower blade guard completely covering the blade teeth,
and the cutting head locked in the upper position, before
releasing the Cutting Handle.
WARNING: Never pull the cutting head and spinning blade
towards you when making a sliding cut. The blade may try to
climb up on top of the work-piece, causing the cutting head
to 'Kickback' forcefully. The cutting head should always be
positioned as outlined above before attempting to make a
sliding cut. When the cutting head is in the correct position
above the work-piece it can be lowered and pushed rearwards
towards the fence to complete the cut.
