!	WARNING	For your own safety, always observe the following
		safety precautions in addition to the safety

instructions on Pages 2-6.

1. Never make these cuts freehand (without using the miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.

2. Always tighten the miter gauge handle securely when in use.

3. Remove rip fence from table during any operations which utilize the miter gauge.

4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all “thru-sawing” operations (when sawblade cuts entirely thru the thickness of the workpiece). Replace guard IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing, molding or rabbeting cuts.

5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8" above top of workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase the hazard potential.

6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a

THROWBACK (small cut-off piece caught by the back of the blade and thrown toward the operator). Stand to either side of the blade.

7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of the blade.

8. If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.

9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece through the cut … to support long or heavy workpieces … to remove cut-off pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the blade.

11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause a KICKBACK. Turn the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped turning, lift the guard and remove the piece.

12. If workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE side DOWN. This will prevent it from rocking while it is being cut.

Push Stick and Push Block

Make the Push Stick 1 using a piece of 1 x 2 as shown (Fig. 35).

Make the Push Block 2 using pieces of 3/8" plywood 3 and 3/4" hardwood 4 (Fig. 36).

The small piece of wood, 3/8" x 3/8" x 2-1/2", should be GLUED to the plywood … DO NOT USE NAILS. This is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you mistakenly cut into the Push Block.

Position the handle in the center of the plywood and fasten together with glue and woodscrews.

Auxiliary Fence

Make one using pieces of 3/8" plywood 3 and 3/4" hardwood 4. Fasten together with glue and woodscrews (Fig. 37).

NOTE: Since the Push Block 2 is used with the Auxiliary Fence 5, the 4-3/4" dimensions must be held identical on both the pieces.
