OPERATION

TO USE THE HERC-U-LIFT™ MOBILE BASE TO MOVE THE TABLE SAW

See Figure 44.

WARNING:

To avoid possible injury and before attempting to move the table saw, unplug the saw from the power supply and remove the switch key.

To activate the Herc-U-Lift™ Mobile Base:

Unplug the table saw.

To raise the saw table, step down on the metal platform until the pedal locks.

Roll the table saw to the desired location making sure the surface is firm and level.

To deactivate the Herc-U-Lift™ Mobile Base:

Step down on the unlock pedal to lower the table saw.

If the feet on the leg stand are not resting firmly on the surface, readjust the leveling feet as necessary.

TO USE THE IND-I-CUT FEATURE

See Figure 45.

The plastic disc embedded in the saw table in front of the saw blade is provided for marking the location of the saw cut (kerf) on the workpiece.

The plastic disc should be level or slightly below the surface of the saw table. Place a piece of hardwood over the plastic disc and tap the hardwood with a hammer until the disc is level or below the saw table surface.

Once the Ind-I-Cut is level:

From the front of the table saw, place the miter gauge in the left miter groove and turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the bevel scale is set at 0°.

Turn on the table saw and cross cut a piece of wood holding the wood firmly against the miter gauge.

Turn off the table saw. Once the blade has stopped, pull the miter gauge back until the freshly cut wood is over the plastic disc.

Using a sharp pencil, mark a line on the plastic disc at the edge of the freshly cut wood.

NOTE: These lines indicate the path of the cut made by the saw blade. When the blade is changed, these lines will need to be erased and reset.

With the miter gauge in the right miter gauge groove, follow the above procedures and make a second mark on the plastic disc.
