Getting To Know Your Table

Saw (Continued)

If you are making a rip type cut in thinner materials, the facing should be attached to the fence so that the bottom edge touches the top surface of the table. In this situation, the facing must be lower than the fence. This will prevent thin material from sliding

under the rip fence.

When positioning fence 14 for maximum rip ! WARNING cutting (without table extension), make sure side

of fence housing (a) is even with the side edge of the table 2. Do not make rip cuts or dado cuts beyond this position because the fence can not be properly locked. Maximum rip cut capacity is 10 3/4 inches (Fig. 4).

15. SMART GUARD SYSTEM

Consists of three key elements: Adjustable (3 position) Riving Knife, Anti-Kickback Device, and Barrier Guard Device. All of these are part of a modular system that requires no tools to assemble or unassemble. This Guard System must always be in place and working properly for all thru-sawing cuts.

16. TABLE INSERT

Is removable for removing or installing blade or other cutting tools.

To remove the insert:

A. Lower the blade below the table surface.

B. Remove main barrier guard and anti-kickback device. C. Raise blade guard.

D. Lift insert from pocket in table using finger hole.

Never operate the saw without the proper insert in place. Use the saw insert when sawing, and the dado insert when da do cutting.

17. MITER GAUGE

Head can be locked in desired position for crosscutting or mitering by tightening the lock handle. ALWAYS SECURELY LOCK IT WHEN IN USE.

Notches are provided in the miter gauge 17 for attaching an AUXILIARY FACING (b) to make it easier to cut longer pieces. Be sure facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw blade guard.

Select a suitable piece of smooth straight wood 3/4" thick, drill two holes through it and attach it with two round head #10 or #12 round head screws 1-1/4" long (c) (Fig. 6).

NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so that it extends to the right of the miter gauge and use the miter gauge in the groove to the right of the blade.

Maximum 10 3/4”
