BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as a rip cut except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than "0".

[_, WARNING i

Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the blade.

RiPPiNG SMALL PIECES

[A WARNING

Avoid injury from the blade contact. Never make through=saw cuts narrower than 3/4 in. wide.

1.it is unsafe to rip small pieces, instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.

2.When a small width is to be ripped, your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, therefore, use one or more push sticks to pass the workpiece completely through and past the blade.

CROSSCUTTING 90 ° MITER ANGLE (FIG. CC)

[_, WARNING I

To prevent serious injury:

=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,

•Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade.

Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards

during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can

Occur,

1.Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge a miter gauge groove on the table.

2.Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece.

3.Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to one inch distance from the blade.

4.Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full speed. Never stand directly in line of the saw blade path, but always stand to the side of the blade that you are cutting on.

5.Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge (3) and flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade.

6.Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.

I A, WARNING !

Always position the larger surface of the workpiece

on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel

crosscutting to avoid instability.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. DD)

0o~45 ° BLADE BEVEL & 90° MITER ANGLE This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°

I,A WARNING I

Always work to the right side of the blade during

this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right side groove because the bevel angle may cause the

blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the

left side groove.
