MAKING CUTS

This table saw can perform a variety of cuts that are not all mentioned in this manual. DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar with the proper procedures and necessary accessories. Your local library has many books on table saw usage and specialized woodworking procedures for your reference.

The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combi- nation blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations. Carefully check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to assure proper clearance before connect- ing saw to power source. Stand slightly to the side of the blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback

Occur.

A WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

Use the miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel, and compound miter cuts. To secure the angle, lock the miter gauge in place by twisting the lock knob clockwise. Always tighten the lock knob securely in place before use.

NOTE: it is recommended that you place the piece to be saved on the left side of the blade and that you make a test cut on scrap wood first.
