CUTTING OPERATIONS
There aretwo basic types of cuts:
ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is
cutting along the length and the grain of
the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting
either across the width oracross the
grain of the workpiece. (It is not safe to
rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping
requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
NEVER USE THE TWO AT THE
SAME TIME.
NOTE: Apply a coat ofautomobile wax
to the table. Wipe all parts thoroughly
with a clean dry cloth. This willreduce
friction when pushing the workpiece.
I WARNINGI
Before using the saw each time,
check the following:
1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.
2. The bevel angle lock knob is
tightened.
3. If ripping, make sure the fence
is locked into position and
is parallel to the miter gauge
groove.
4. The blade guard is in place and
working properly.
5. Safety glasses are worn.
The failure to adhere to these
common safety rules, and those
printed in the front of this manual,
can greatly increase the likelihood
of injury.
WARNING]To prevent serious injury:
o Never use a miter gauge when
ripping.
o Never use more than one rip fence
during a single cut.
o Do not allow familiarity or frequent
use of your table saw to cause
careless mistakes. Remember
that even a careless fraction of
asecond is enough to cause a
severe injury.
o Keep both hands away from the
blade and clear from the path of
the blade.
o The workpiece must have a
straight edge against the fence
and must not be warped, twisted,
or bowed when ripping.
