Operating instructions

RIPPING OPERATIONS (FaG.Z)
Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of your
table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even
a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe
injury.
1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence (1) to the
table,
2. Raise the blade (2) so it is about 1/8" higher than the top
of the workpiece (3).
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table (4) and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece about I" away from the blade.
CAUT!ON: The workpiece must have a straight edge
against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or
bowed.
4. -!urn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up to
speed.
5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the workpiece section (5) that will pass
between the blade and the fence.

BEVEL RIPPING (FIG.BB)
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle
is set to an angle other than 0°.
AVOID KICKBACK AND POSSIBLE INJURY by pushing
forward ONLY on that section of the workpiece that wilt pass
between the blade and the fence.

RIPPING WITH A PUSH STICK (FIG. AA
1. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When bothof your
thumbs touch the front edge of the table (4), finish the
cut with a push stick (6).
2. The push stick should always be. used when the ripped
workpiece is 2" or narrower (7).
3. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (6)
until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the
table.
4.. Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is turning.
Turn the switch OFE When the blade completely stops
raise the anti-kickback pawl on each side of the splitter
and slide the workpiece out.
To avoid injury, cut only with the workpiece and the fence on
the right side of the blade.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES
Avoid injuryfrom blade contact. Never make through-saw
cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.
.
2.
tt is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece
to obtain the size of the desired piece,
When a small width is to be ripped and your hand
cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip
fence, use one or more push sticks to move the
workpiece.
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. CC)
Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of your
table saw to cause careless mistake& Remember that even
a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe
injury.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge (1) in
the side groove.
2. Adjust the blade (2) height so it is 1/8" higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with
the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move
the workpiece to a distance of t" from the blade.
To avoid injury, keep both hands away from the blade and
the path of the blade.
4, Start the saw and wait for the blade to come up to full
speed.
5. Keep the workpiece flat against the face of the miter
gauge and flat against the table. Slowly push the
workpiece through the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. DD)
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the
blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.
1. Adjust the blade (2_fto the desired angle, and tighten the
blade bevel lock handle.
2. When beveling, always work to the right side of the
blade. The miter gauge (1) must be in the right side
groove. It cannot be used in the left side groove because
it will interfere with the blade guard,

MITERING (FIG. EE)
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the
miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90 °.
I. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge {!).
2. Feed the workpiece stowly into the blade (2) to prevent
the workpiece from moving.
