I WARNING
Before using the saw each time, check the following:
1.The blade is tightened to the arbor.
2.The bevel angle lock knob is tightened.
3.If ripping, make sure the fence is locked into position and
is parallel to the miter gauge groove.
4.The blade guard is in place and working properly.
5.Safety glasses are worn.
The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of
the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the
grain of the workpiece. (It is not safe to rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
NEVER USE THE TWO AT THE SAME TIME.
NOTE: Apply a coat of automobile wax to the table. Wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean dry cloth. This will reduce friction when pushing the workpiece.
WARNING]
To prevent serious injury:
o Never use a miter gauge when ripping.
o Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut.
o Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
o Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from the path of the blade.
o The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed when ripping.
