OPERATION
Turn the on/off switch to the on position.
Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and drop
fence or the rip fence and slowly feed the material into
the cutting wheel.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the cutting
wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any
part of the material.
TO MAKE A PLUNGE CUT
See Figure 33.
Plunge cuts are made by positioning the material directly
underneath the cutting wheel and lowering the wheel onto
the workpiece. This allows pieces to be cut from the center
of the material. Always secure the table in the rear, locked
position before cutting.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust the drop fence to the appropriate
position when using the miter guide or the rip fence.
Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
Loosen the lock knob on the side of the motor head and
position the motor head upward to its maximum height.
Place the miter guide or the rip fence on the table the
desired distance from the wheel and lock in place.
Turn the on/off switch to the on position.
Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
Hold the motor head firmly by the handle.
Move the material into the desired position for cutting.
Slowly lower the motor head into the material to make
the cut.
Raise the motor head.
Turn the on/off switch to the off position.
Slide the table away from the motor head and position
the work material for the next cut.
MAKING GARDEN PAVER CUTS
See Figures 34 - 37.
Garden pavers require special cuts to make curves and
corners in walls, patios, and other landscaping features.
To cut paver shorter:
Measure paver to determine how much material needs
to be removed.
Using a marker or grease pencil, make two marks,
marking all the way around the paver.
Place the material on the table and firmly against
the fence.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove side splash guard
to make room for paver cut.
Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
Turn the on/off switch to the on position.
Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into
the wheel.
Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and fence
and feed the material into the cutting wheel.
