Skil 3400 manual Blade Guard, Table Insert, Miter Gauge

! WARNING

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 13 for maximum rip cutting (without table extension), make sure side of fence housing 19 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 12 inches (Fig. 4).

14. BLADE GUARD

Protects the operator, and must always be in place and working properly for all thru-sawing cuts. That is all cuts whereby the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

15. TABLE INSERT

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

!WARNING For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source before removing

insert.

To remove the insert:

A. Lower the blade below the table surface. B. Raise blade guard.

C. Remove insert screws and lift insert from pocket in table.

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

16. 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 16 for attaching an AUXILIARY FACING 20 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 21 (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.
