Push Block (Fig. 36, 37)
IMPORTANT: Only use the push block (A12) with the narrow rip auxiliary fence. Refer to Narrow Rip Auxiliary Fence. The push block should be used once the material being cut reaches the saw table top.
1.Construct a push block using the diagram in Figure 36. NOTE: Edges (A15) must be the same size.
IMPORTANT: The over hanging edge (A16, Fig. 36) MUST be square. An uneven lip could cause the push block to slip or push the material away from the fence.
2.Place the push block (A12, Fig. 37) behind the material and ensure the lip of the block is flush to the narrow rip auxiliary fence (A13).
3.Once the push block is in place, continue feeding the material until the cut is complete making sure the push block remains flush to the narrow rip auxiliary fence at all times.
IMPORTANT: The narrow rip auxiliary fence and the over hanging edge (A16, Fig. 36) should both be the same thickness.
WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece resulting in damage to saw and possible injury.
CAUTION: When using a block as a
1.Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the desired slot.
2.Adjust the blade height so that the blade is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) higher than the top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the path of the blade in line with the desired cut location. Keep the workpiece an inch or so in front of the blade. KEEP BOTH HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE AND THE PATH OF

Bevel Ripping (Fig. 38)
This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than zero degrees.
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.

THE BLADE (Fig. 39).
4. Start the saw motor and allow the blade to come up to speed.
5. While using both hands to keep the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge, and holding the workpiece flat against the table, slowly push the workpiece through the blade. Refer to Figure 38.
6.Never try to pull the workpiece with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the blade to stop, and carefully slide the workpiece out.
CAUTION: Never touch or hold onto the free or cut off end of the workpiece.
Bevel Crosscutting
This operation is the same as crosscutting except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°. For proper hand position, refer to Figure 38.
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
Mitering
WARNING: Miter angles greater than 45˚ may force the blade guard assembly into the saw blade causing damage to the blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not touching the blade,
end of the workpiece or a free piece that is cut off, while the power is ON and/or the saw blade is rotating. Piece may contact the blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possible injury. 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting.
WARNING: NEVER use a length stop on the free end of the workpiece when crosscutting. In short, the
before starting the motor.
CAUTION: Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift
the blade guard assembly properly. Feed the workpiece slowly to start the cut. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor.
This operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 0°. Hold the workpiece FIRMLY against the miter gauge and feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (to prevent the workpiece from moving). Refer to Figure 40.
