The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator's manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempt- ing. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth on the anti-kickback pawls point away from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled back toward the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.

BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of the cabinet shows the exact blade angle.

BLADE - This saw is provided with a 36-tooth, 10 in. carbide blade. The blade is raised and lowered with the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are locked with the bevel locking lever.

_t_ WARNING" Do not use blades rated less than the

speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

BLADE GUARD - Always keep the blade guard down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.

BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever, placed just under the saw table surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the angle setting of the blade.

HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL- Located on the front of the cabinet, use this handwheel to lower and raise the blade for height adjustments or blade re- placement. This handwheel also makes the adjustment for bevel angles easy.

MITER GAUGE - The miter gauge aligns the wood for a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact angle for a miter cut, with positive stops at 90° and 45°.

MITER GAUGE GROOVES - The miter gauge rides in the grooves on the saw table.

OUTFEED SUPPORT - This table extension at the back of the tool gives the operator additional support when cut- ting long workpieces.

RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece and is secured with the locking handle. Grooves run along the top and sides of the rip fence for use with optional clamps and accessories.

SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale provides precise measurements for rip cuts.

SLIDING TABLE EXTENSIONS - Located on each side of the saw table, these table extension gives the operator additional support when cutting wide workpieces.

SPREADER/RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece of the blade guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which helps keep the kerf open and prevent kick- back. When in the through sawing, or "up" position, it is higher than the saw blade and becomes a spreader. When in the non-through sawing, or "down" position, it is below the saw blade teeth and becomes a riving knife.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access power switch located below the front rail. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the switch key from the switch. Place the key in a location that is inaccessible to children and others not qualified to use the tool.
