MAKING A NON=THROUGH CUT

See Figure 44.

_, WARNING: DO NOT install dado blades on this machine. The arbor shaft has insufficient threads to mount a dado blade. Mounting a dado blade could result in the risk of serious personal injury.

Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 in. blade) can be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves. DO NOT perform bevel non-through cuts on this machine.

This is the only type cut that is made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard as- sembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through cuts. For ex- ample, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.

A WARNING: When making a non-through cut, the blade is covered by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed blade at the start and finish of every cut to reduce the risk of personal injury.

A WARNING: Never feed wood with your hands when making any non-through cut such as rabbets. To avoid personal injury, always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] Remove the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

[] Place spreader / riving knife in "down" position.

[] Unlock the bevel locking lever.

[] Adjust the bevel angle to 0°

[] Lock the bevel locking lever.

[] Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

[] Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use either the rip fence or miter gauge.

[] Plug the saw into the power source and turn the saw

on.

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

[] Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk of serious injury.

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

Once all non=through cuts are completed: [] Unplug your saw.

[] Reinstall the spreader/riving knife in the "up" position then install the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
