7.Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of the blade.

8.If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.

9.Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece through the cut … to support long or heavy workpieces … to remove small cut-off pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

10.Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the blade.

11.Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause a KICKBACK. Turn the saw OFF and disconnect power source. After the blade has stopped turning, lift the guard and remove the piece.

12.If workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE side DOWN. This will prevent it from rocking while it is being ripped.

RIP FENCE AUXILIARY FACING

When using dado or molding head accessories, an auxiliary facing board should be used. This will help prevent damage to the aluminum fence. The facing should be made of 3/4 inch thick wood – Figure 61 shows dimensional plans to make a facing board to fit this saw.

Parts Required:

3/4” thick wood board (solid or plywood) cut to size

Three (3) 1/4 x 20 x 3/4” long hex. head machine screws

Three (3) 1/4” Washers

Three (3) 1/4 x 20 machine nuts

The facing is made to the same height (2-3/4”) as the fence and can work with the blade guard system in place when moving the fence to contact the blade. The taller facing design (4-1/4”) is optional and can be used for clamping on other accessories. Cut the board to the size shown, drill through 9/32” holes, then counter-sink each hole (down 3/8 inch) using a 3/4 inch drill bit.

Assembly:

1)Place the hex. head 1 of each machine screw into the recess 2 in the rear fence housing – then slide each screw forward to the locations shown.

2)Place facing board 3 over screws

3)Place washers over screw threads

4)Thread and tighten the nuts onto the screws
