OPERATION

■Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If ripping a narrow piece, use a push stick to move the piece through the cut and past the blade.

■When the cut is made, turn the saw off ( ). Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

■After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff stock.

■Grasp the workpiece from the lead end (the end fed into the blade first) and carefully remove it from the table.

TO MAKE A COMPOUND MITER CUT

This cut is made with both the miter fence and the blade angled. Set the miter fence and the blade angle with the procedures given earlier.

The miter fence must be on the left side of the blade. It is highly recommended that you test the cut with a piece of scrap wood. Become thoroughly familiar with bevel cross cuts and miter cuts before attempting to perform a com- pound miter cut.

TO MAKE A LARGE PANEL CUT

See Figure 41.

Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface so it will not tip over under the weight of a large panel.

WARNING:

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

■Raise the locking handle on the rip fence to allow the rails to move freely.

■Lift off the sliding miter table assembly by raising the miter locking clamps to release the grippers.

■Remove the accessory table by swinging out the lever and lifting the table up and out.

■Rotate the front rail clamps (under the front rail) to the left and slide the front rail to the side where the panel will rest. Lock the rail clamps after positioning the front rail.

■Rotate the rear rail clamps (under the rear rail) to the left and position the rear rail to support the panel. Align the rear rail with the front rail. Lock the rail clamps after positioning the rear rail.

■Place the accessory table onto the rails far enough from the blade to help support the panel and lock securely.

■Place the sliding miter table assembly onto the rails and lock securely. The miter table can be rotated 180° so the projecting base is at the back of the work surface so you won't run into it as you feed the panel into the blade. (Tables can be placed on either side of blade.)

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

■Place a support behind the saw for the cut work.

■Make sure the panel is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.

■Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
