TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS

Fig. 28

1. Before cutting, make certain the cuttinghead and

table are at their correct settings and firmly locked in

place.

2. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp

it firmly against the fence. Fig. 28 illustrates the supplied

work clamp (A). The clamp (A) can be used on either the

left or right side of the machine (See Fig. 9).

3. WARNING: If the position or size of the work-

piece causes your hand to be within the hazard zone of

of the saw blade, clamp the workpiece in place before

making cut.

4. For best results, cut at a slow, even cutting rate.

5. Never attempt freehand cutting (wood that is not

held or clamped firmly against the fence and table).

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE

WARNING: When performing multiple or repetitive cut-off

operations that result in small cut-off pieces, one inch or less, it is

possible for the saw blade to catch the cut-off pieces and project

them out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing,

possibly causing damage or injury. To limit the possibility of personal

injury or blade guard damage, an auxiliary wood fence can be

mounted to your saw (Fig. 29).

Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence. This

auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately 1/2"

thick by 3" high by 20" long. NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in the 0 degree bevel

position (90 degrees to the table). When bevel cutting (blade tilted), the auxiliary fence will have to be removed.

REAR SUPPORT/CARRYING

HANDLE

A rear support bar (A) Fig. 29B is provided to prevent the

machine from tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead is

returned to the up position. For maximum support the bar (A)

should be pulled out as far as possible.

The support bar (A) Fig. 29C can also be used to carry the

machine.

NOTE: Leave the rear support extended during all cutting

operations. Push the rear support in only when storing the

machine.
