NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF

GAUGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a block of wood (B), can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gauge as shown in Fig. S4. The block (B) must be at least 3/4-inch thick to prevent the cut-off piece from binding between the blade and the fence during removal from the saw table. It is important that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, lock the fence and use the miter gauge to feed the work into the cut.

WHEN USING THE BLOCK (B) FIG. S4, AS A CUT-OFF GAUGE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE REAR END OF THE BLOCK BE POSITIONED SO THE WORK PIECE IS CLEAR OF

THE BLOCK BEFORE IT ENTERS THE BLADE.

MITERING

Mitering (the operation shown in Fig. S5) is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge (C) is locked at an angle other than 0 degrees. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work slowly into the blade to prevent the workpiece from moving.

USE CAUTION WHEN STARTING THE CUT TO PREVENT BINDING OF THE

GUARD AGAINST THE WORKPIECE.

MITER ANGLES GREATER THAN 45 DEGREES MAY FORCE THE GUARD INTO THE SAW BLADE AND DAMAGE THE GUARD.

BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR, TEST THE OPERATION BY FEEDING THE WORK PIECE INTO THE GUARD. IF THE GUARD CONTACTS THE BLADE, PLACE THE WORK PIECE UNDER THE GUARD, NOT TOUCHING THE BLADE, BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR.

CERTAIN WORKPIECE SHAPES, SUCH AS MOULDING, MAY NOT LIFT THE GUARD PROPERLY. FEED THE WORK SLOWLY TO

START THE CUT.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

Bevel crosscutting (shown in Fig. S6) is the same as crosscutting except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0 degrees.

WHEN POSSIBLE, USE THE RIGHT MITER GAUGE SLOT WHEN BEVEL CROSSCUTTING SO THAT THE BLADE TILTS AWAY

FROM THE MITER GAUGE AND YOUR HANDS.

USE CAUTION WHEN STARTING THE CUT TO PREVENT BINDING OF THE

GUARD AGAINST THE WORKPIECE.

COMPOUND MITERING

Compound Mitering (shown in Fig. S7) is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering, where the blade is beveled to an angle other than 0 degrees and the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 0 degrees. Always use the miter slot (D) which allows the blade to tilt away from the miter gauge and hands.
