HOW TO USE THE SAW
DO NOT use your saw if the telescoping guard is not working.
If the telescoping guard binds or is sluggish, return the saw to
your nearest AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or PORTER-
CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair.
For your maximum protection, effective control of this
powerful saw requires two-handed operation. Support the
work properly and hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could
cause injury. See Fig. 15 for the proper way to hold the tool.
Keep the cord away from cutting area to prevent electric
shock.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator. Keep your body to the side of the saw.
Stay alert and maintain a firm grip on the saw. Release the
switch immediately if the blade binds or the saw stalls.
Keep your blade sharp. Support the panels (Fig. 16). Use a fence or a straight
edge guide when ripping. DO NOT force the tool. DO NOT remove the saw
from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
CROSS-CUTTING
Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of lumber is called crosscutting.
Position the work so that the cut will be on the left.
RIPPING
Cutting wood lengthwise is referred to as ripping.
This operation is performed in the same manner as
crosscutting with the exception of supporting the
workpiece. If the workpiece is supported on a large
table, bench, or floor, place several pieces of scrap
stock approximately one inch thick beneath the
workpiece to allow clearance for the portion of the
saw blade that extends through the material (Fig.
17). When using saw horses, place 2 x 4’s lengthwise
between the horses and the large sheets of paneling
or thin plywood to prevent the workpiece from sagging
in the center.
For narrow rip cuts, use the rip guide (available as an
accessory). Guide the saw by keeping the inner face
of the rip guide (Fig. 18) tight against the edge of the
board.
For making wider cuts (plywood and wide sheets),
tack or clamp a wooden guide strip to guide the left edge of the saw base (Fig.
17).
NOTE: Adjust the depth-of-cut to allow for the thickness of the wooden guide
strip.
