OPERATION
AVOIDING INJURY
nMake sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should always be on a firm, level surface with plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
nBolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walking or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy boards.
nTurn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug cord from the power source before moving the saw.
nDo not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come to a full and complete stop.
nChoose the right size and style blade for the material and type of cut you plan to do.
nMake sure that the blade teeth point down toward the saw table, that the blade guides, thrust bearings, and blade tension are properly adjusted, that the blade guide knob is tight, and that no parts have excessive play.
nTo avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade breakage, and provide maximum blade support, always adjust the blade guide assembly to just clear the workpiece.
nUse only recommended accessories.
nWith the exception of the workpiece and related support devices, clear everything off the saw table before turning the saw on.
nProperly support round materials such as dowel rods or tubing because they have a tendency to roll during a cut causing the blade to “bite”. To avoid this, always use a “V” block or clamp workpiece to a miter gauge.
nBefore removing loose pieces from the saw table, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
LOCKING THE SWITCH
See Figure 15.
nPlace the switch in the OFF (O) position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop.
nRemove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in safe place.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
nPlace the switch in the OFF (O) position. Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop.
nRemove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store key in safe place.
nUnplug the saw from the power source.
nMake workshop childproof.
nLock the shop.
TILTING THE TABLE
See Figure 16.
nLoosen the bevel lock handle slightly.
nTurn the bevel adjustment knob, tilting the saw table toward the front of the saw housing until it reaches the desired angle.
