Operation
CAUTION :
*Make sure the blade guard works smoothly and properly for making both square cuts and bevel cuts before operation.
*Never withdraw the workpiece while the blade is running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the work- piece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickback.
Never remove
When moving the sliding table, do not place your fingers or hands on the reverse side of the sliding table. You may get your fingers pinched between the sliding table and bars.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of "work helpers." Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with any part of the body.
Push stick
Apush stick can be easily made from a piece of plywood 19 mm (3/4")to 25 mm (1") thick.

Cut out the hatched area on the stick and smooth edges with a file. (H) dimension should be less than 12.7 mm (1/2") so as to be thinner than the workpiece.
