1.Before cutting, check to see that the cuttinghead and table are at the correct settings and are firmly locked in place.

2.Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly against the fence with the work clamp (A) Fig. 12. This clamp can be used on either the left or right side of the machine (See Fig. 13).

3.Cut at a slow, even cutting rate.

If the position or size of the workpiece causes your hand to be in the “Hazard Zone”, use the work clamp to secure the workpiece. Never place your hands inside this area while the machine is running..

Never attempt freehand cutting (wood that is not held or clamped firmly against the fence and table).
