BASUC SAW

WORK HELPERS

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study alt of the "Basic Saw Operations"

Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is

necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like the

Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support, which you can make yourself.,

After you have made a few practice cuts, make these

"helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "Push Stick" first,

PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK

Make the Push Stick using a piece of ] x 2, or rip one from a wide board, say t 1-1/2" wide, end set the rip fence 9-7/8 in. from the sawblade

Make the Push Block using a piece of 3/8 in and 3/4 in, plywood,

The small piece of wood 3/8 in, x 3/8 in. x 2-1/2 in should

be GLUED to the plywood , DO NOT USE NAILS, This

is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you

mistakingly cut into the push block,

Position the handle in the center of the plywood and fasten together with glue and woodscrews

AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT

Make one using a piece of 3/8 in, and 3/4 in., plywood Fasten together with glue and woodscrews

NOTE: Since the Push Block is used with the Auxiliary Fence, the 4-3/4 in,, dimensions must be held identical on both the pieces.

USING THE MITER GAUGE

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING,

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING and when RABBETING

across the end of a narrow workpiece, THE MITER GAUGE IS USED

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

tN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 2. 3, and 4.

1. Never make these cuts freehand (without using the

miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the

blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade

2.Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use,

3,, Remove rip fence from table,

4,, Make sure blade guard is installed for all "thru-sawing"

operations (when sawblade cuts entirely thru the

thickness of the workpiece ) Replace guard

IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing, molding or rabbeting cuts

5Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in., above top of

workpiece., Additional blade exposure would increase the hazard potential,

6.Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a

THROWBACK (Small cut-off piece caught by the back

of the blade and thrown toward the operator), Stand to either side of the blade

7, Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of the blade,.

If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH

OFF before attempting to free the blade,

workpiece through the cut .... to support long or

heavy workpieces . to remove cut-off pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON

10.Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table, REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table

with along stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the blade

11.Do not remove small pieces of cut-off materia! that may
