Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice woodworker with a basic understanding of how the sliding table attachment is used during a typical operation, so they can more easily understand how to use it.
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instruction guide for performing actual machine operations. To learn more about specific opera- tions and woodworking techniques, seek training from people experienced with this type of saw, and do addi- tional research outside of this manual by reading
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
1.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable for cutting.
2.Adjusts the angle and position of the crosscut fence to the blade for the operation, then locks it in place. If required, positions the extension fence for additional support.
3.Positions the extension table to support the workpiece.
4.Makes sure the sliding table lock knob is disengaged so the table can move.
5.Makes sure the crosscut fence will not contact the blade as the sliding table is moved forward.
6.Wears safety glasses and a respirator, holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against the fence, turns the table saw ON, and then pushes the crosscut fence and workpiece forward and completely past the blade to complete the cut.
The operator is very careful to keep the workpiece firmly against the table and crosscut fence during the entire cut.
7.Stops the table saw.
