MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT

See Figure 55.

Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.

,_ WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered over blade and is working properly to

prevent possible injury.

•Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw for the cut work. Add

supports to the sides as needed.

•Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or miter gage. tf the panel is too large to use

either the rip fence or the miter gage, it is too large for this saw.

,_ WARNING: Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter gage or rip fence), which can

result in serious injury.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

See Figure 56.

This is the only type of cut made without the blade guard.

,_ WARNING: Unplug the saw while removing or replacing the blade guard to prevent accidental

starting and injury.

•Lift the blade guard out of the way.

•Adjust the blade angle and height by releasing the

bevel lock handle and turning the height and bevel handwheels. Reset the bevel lock handle.

•Take out the throat plate by removing the screw with a phillips screwdriver. Remove the riving knife and guard assembly as shown. Be sure to reinstall it before moving to the next step.

•Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw for the cut work. Add

supports to the sides as needed.

,_ WARNING: Always use pushsticks or pushblocks when making non-through cuts to

avoid the risk of serious injury. Never feed wood with your hands.

•Make sure the wood is not touching the blade. Insert the key and lift the switch to the ON position. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

•When the work is completed, press the switch off and remove the switch key. Unplug the saw, then reinstall the riving knife and the blade guard.
