A. TABLE CLAMP KNOBS. Allows the operator to quickly set the desired fence position. Fig. 6

B. TRACK ARM INDEXING RELEASE HANDLE. Releases the indexing pin from the 0 degree and 45 degree positions to allow the arm to rotate. Depress handle to release the index pin. Fig. 6

C. TRACK ARM ELEVATING HANDLE. Controls the depth- of-cut in all operations. Turn the handle clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the track arm. Fig. 6

D. MITER SCALE. Indicates degrees left and right for setting track arm to desired miter angle. Fig. 6

F.RIP SCALE. Indicates the in and out rip positions of the cutter-head. Fig. 6

G.BLADE GUARD CLAMP KNOB. Clamps the blade guard at rotated positions for ripping. Fig. 6

H.BEVEL CLAMP HANDLE. Controls tilt of motor for bevel cutting operations. Locks motor at any desired angle on the bevel scale. Lift handle to loosen and push down to lock. Fig. 6

J. BEVEL INDEX RELEASE KNOB. Locates 0 degree, 45 degree, and 90 degree. Positions the motor for bevel setting. When tilting the motor for bevel cutting, the bevel clamp handle must first be loosened. To release the index pull out on the release knob. Fig. 6

K. YOKE INDEXING RELEASE LEVER. Locates each 90 degree position of the yoke for ripping or cross-cutting operations. When rotating the yoke, the yoke clamp handle must first be loose. Push the release lever either up or down to release the indexing pin. Fig. 6

L. YOKE CLAMP HANDLE. The yoke clamp handle must be loose when rotating the yoke between the rip and cross- cutting position. Pull the handle to release and push it to lock. Fig. 7

M.ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICE. When ripping, the yoke is positioned and clamped so that the blade is parallel to the fence. The rear of the blade guard is rotated until it almost touches the workpiece. The anti-kickback rod is then lowered so that the fingers catch and hold the workpiece. Never rip from the anti-kickback end of the blade guard. Fig. 7

N.ON-OFF SWITCH. Conveniently located switch can be turned on or off in an instant for added operation protection. Switch also can be locked in the off position to prevent unauthorized use using an accessory padlock. Fig. 7

P.CUTTING-HEAD CLAMP KNOB. Locks cutting-head at any position on the track arm. When ripping the cutting- head, clamp knob must be tight. Fig. 7

R. BEVEL SCALE. Indicates degrees of rotation for setting motor bevel positions. Fig. 7

S. TRACK ARM CLAMP HANDLE. Controls rotation of track arm for all miter cutting operations. Locks track arm at any miter angle position. To rotate track arm to the right, loosen clamp handle and rotate arm. The arm will stop at 45 degrees. To rotate past 45 degrees, depress indexing release handle and continue to rotate; arm will only rotate an additional 5 degrees. To rotate to the left, the operation is the same except the indexing release handle must be depressed to start rotating. Fig. 7
