SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

General Use

The Model G4227 Sliding Table, when attached to your table saw or shaper, allows you to easily handle cumbersome material when crosscutting or cross shaping. The sliding table fence safely supports your work which is guided on rails and ball-bearing rollers. The fence has a large bear- ing surface and can be adjusted from any angle between 90° and 45°. For repetitive cutting, the fence also has a variable positioning stop block that can be flipped out of the way when not need- ed. The fence can also be adjusted out of the way when ripping or doing standard shaping opera- tions.

The Model G4227 Sliding Table replaces the miter gauge function. To crosscut or cross shape:

1.Ensure that the Model G4227 is properly adjusted on your machine.

2.Move the rip fence completely out of the way.

3.Set the angle of the sliding table fence to the desired angle of cut.

4.Without turning on the table saw or shaper, slide the table and fence in the direction of the cut. Adjust the fence toward or away from the blade or cutter so that your work- piece will be adequately supported near the blade or cutter, but will not touch the blade or cutter. If full support of the workpiece is desired to minimize tear out, an auxiliary wood fence that extends out past the fence can be mounted to the sliding table fence.

5.Place your workpiece on the sliding table and against the fence at the desired distance from the blade or cutter.

6.Ensure that all safety rules are observed. Turn the table saw or shaper on and guide the sliding table through the cut with one hand on the sliding table handle and the other hand securing the workpiece against the fence.

7.Once the cut has been made, turn the table saw or shaper off.
