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 mate-
rial 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 seri-
ous 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.

WARNING:
• Before operating the tool, make sure that the
sliding fence is 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 move-
ment of the material and serious personal injury.
► 1 . Sliding fence
CAUTION:
• When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding
fence to the left and secure it as shown in the
figure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a
part of the tool, causing possible serious injury
to the operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left
position as shown in the figure if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't for-
get to return the sliding fence to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.
