IA WARNING

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.

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°

IA WARNING

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.

1.Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

2.Tighten miter lock handle (2) at 90°.

3.Hold workpiece (3) firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
