n Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
n Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to
secure the workpiece when possible. See Figure 33.
n Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
n Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the switch lock
with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
n Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
See Figures 33 - 34.
n Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.
Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning
before removing the workpiece from miter table.
SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 35.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be
placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and
work table during the cutting operation. Use the optional
work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
