WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

WARNING:

The rip fence must be on the right side of the blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing kickback. Place- ment of the rip fence to the left of the blade will result in kickback and the risk of serious personal injury.

Remove the miter fence.

Unlock the bevel locking lever.

Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting.

Lock the bevel locking lever.

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade for the cut and securely lock the handle.

Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.

Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

Using a push stick and/or push blocks, slowly feed the workpiece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur.
