Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understand- ing of how the machine is used during a typical operation, so the controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual, read "how to" books, and seek additional training from experienced machine operators.

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:

1.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable for cutting.

2.Adjusts the blade tilt, if necessary, to the cor- rect angle for the desired cut.

3.For "Through Cuts," adjusts the blade height no more than 1⁄4" higher than the thickness of the workpiece.

4.Adjusts the fence to the desired width of cut, then locks it in place.

5.Checks the outfeed side of the machine for proper support and to make sure the workpiece can safely pass all the way through the blade without interference.

6.Puts on safety glasses and a respirator. Locates push sticks/blocks if needed.

7.Starts the saw.

8.Feeds the workpiece all the way through the blade while maintaining firm pressure on the workpiece against the table and fence, and keeping hands and fingers out of the blade path and away from the blade.

9.Stops the machine immediately after the cut is complete.
