Basic Controls

The basic controls for the table saw are shown in Figure 36. Setting up for a typical operation con- sists of the following three steps:

1.Make sure the blade tilt is correct. If it needs to be adjusted, loosen the blade tilt lock, turn the blade tilt handwheel, and tighten the lock.

2.Set the blade height approximately 14" higher than the workpiece thickness by turning the blade height handwheel, then lock the blade height in place by tightening the blade height lock.

3.Adjust the fence to the desired width of cut, then lock it in place by firmly pushing the fence lock down until it stops.
