OPERATION

MAKING A RIP CUT

See Figure 37.

It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

Set the blade to 0°.

Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade for the cut and securely lock the handle.

Place a support (the same height as the saw table) behind the table saw for the cut work.

Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the table saw.

Use a push block or push stick to move the wood through the cut past the blade. Never push a small piece of wood into the blade with your hand. Always use a push stick. The use of push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards are necessary when making non-through cuts.

Stand to the side of the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur.

Never stand directly in the line of cut.

Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the table saw.

Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the workpiece.

MAKING A MITER CUT

See Figure 38.

It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

Set the miter gauge to desired angle and tighten the lock knob.

Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind the saw for the cut work.

Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.

Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the workpiece into the blade.

Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and feed the workpiece into the blade.

NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from the blade should be placed on the workpiece.

When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the workpiece.

CAUTION:

The miter gauge cannot be used in the left miter gauge groove when bevel cutting due to blade guard interference. Only use the miter gauge in the right miter gauge groove when bevel cutting.
