A.THE TRACK ARM CLAMP KNOB controls the swing of the track arm for all miter cutting operations. It locks the track arm at any angle for the full 360º rotation. To rotate the track arm, loosen the clamp knob and rotate the arm. The arm will stop at the 0º and 45º positions right and left. To move the arm past these points, pull out the track arm index knob (B) Fig. 32.

B.THE TRACK ARM INDEX KNOB - (See instruction A).

C.THE YOKE INDEX LEVER locates each 90º position of the yoke for ripping or cross-cutting operations. When you rotate the yoke, first loosen the yoke clamp handle (Fig. 33.

D.THE YOKE CLAMP HANDLE. (See Instruction C).

E.THE ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICE helps prevent kickback. When ripping, position and clamp the yoke so that the blade is parallel to the fence. Lower the infeed side of the blade guard until it almost touches the workpiece. Lower the anti-kickback rod so that the fingers catch and hold the workpiece. Never rip from the anti-kickback end of the blade guard. (Fig. 33)

F.THE OVERARM ELEVATING HANDLE controls the depth of cut. Turning the handle raises or lowers the overarm. (Fig. 32)

G.THE CUTTINGHEAD CLAMP KNOB locks the cuttinghead at any position on the track arm. Make sure that the cutting clamp is tight when you rip a workpiece (Fig. 33).

H.THE BEVEL INDEX KNOB locates 0º and 45º and 90º bevel positions of the motor. To tilt the motor for bevel cutting,

loosen the bevel clamp handle (Fig. 33).

J.THE BEVEL CLAMP LEVER controls the tilt of the motor for bevel cutting operations. It locks the motor at any desired angle on the bevel scale (Fig. 33).

K.THE TABLE CLAMP KNOBS allow you to quickly set the desired fence position (Fig. 33).

L.THE ON-OFF SWITCH is placed at eye level and can be turned on or off instantly for your protection (Fig. 33).

M.THE MITER SCALE indicates the position, left and right, of the track arm. (Fig. 32)

N.THE TRACK ARM STOP is located under the track arm. This stop prevents the blade from contacting the column when making straight cut-offs with the motor tilted for a 45º bevel cut.

Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time:

1.ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing, and respiratory equipment.

2.Blade is tight.

3.Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight.

4.If ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.

5.If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight.

6.The blade guard is properly attached and the anti-kick teeth are functioning.

7.ALWAYS inspect the guard and splitter for proper alignment operation and clearance with saw blade.

Failure to adhere to these common safety rules can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.
