Cutting Aides

WARNING

To reduce the risk of shock, burns or lacerations form accidental start up of saw, turn power switch off and unplug saw before taking off blade, adding or changing accessories and before doing any maintenance or servicing saw.

Molding/Sanding

Instructions for operating the molding head are contained in a booklet furnished with the molding head.

For use of molding head cutter or drum sander with saw arbor vertical, the rear table required an opening (next to rear face of fence) for clearance. Cut this opening as shown.

Note: Spacer table is too narrow for this opening. Be sure opening is cut in the rear table.

For top-side rabbeting or molding in the in- rip position, relieve the fence by positioning the cutting tool at the desired location on the arm, locking the carriage lock knob, and low- ering the cutting tool slowly into the fence - remove only as much material from the fence as necessary.

Note: When using drum sander, vacuum motor often to prevent sawdust/powder build-up, because powder interferes with motor ventilation and can clog starter switch.

Featherboard

Use a featherboard on the infeed side during ripping to help keep the workpiece against the fence.

To make a featherboard, use knot-free 3/4” lumber 5-1/2" wide. Miter crosscut lumber at a 30° angle to 24". Rip to make 5" long cuts about 1/4" apart.
