OPERATION
ALWAYS make sure
that your workpiece is not in contact with
the blade before operating the switch to
start the tool. Failure to heed this warning
may cause the workpiece to be kicked
back toward the operator, and may result
in serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of accidental starting,
always make sure the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the tool into the
power source.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This saw is equipped with an inner overload
protection to prevent the saw from damage.
The saw will keep slowly running when the
overload protection is engaged. Turn the
switch to the OFF position and allow the
motor to cool down for at least ve
minutes. After the motor has cooled
down, turn the switch to the ON position;
the saw should now start.
SAW BLADE
Use only 10” (25.4 cm)
diameter blades with 5/8” (16 mm) arbor
holes rated at 4,000 RPM or higher.
1. The saw blade furnished with your new
saw is a 10” (25.4 cm) ne ripping blade,
used for ripping (with the grain) through
the material and occasional crosscuts.
The center hole to t on the arbor is 5/8”
(16 mm) in diameter. This blade will
produce a good quality cut for many
applications.
2. Use only saw blades designed for
maximum safe operating speeds of
4,000 RPM or higher.
3. Saw blades should always be kept
sharp. It is recommended that you
locate a reputable sharpening service
to sharpen your blades when needed.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
4. Never store blades stacked on top of
one another. Place material such as
cardboard between them to keep the
blades from coming into contact with
one another.
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping
and crosscutting. In general, cutting with
the grain is ripping, and cutting across
the grain is crosscutting. However, this
distinction is somewhat difcult to make
with man-made materials. Therefore, cutting
a piece of wood to a different width is
ripping, and cutting across the short
dimension is crosscutting. Neither ripping
nor crosscutting can be done safely
freehand! Ripping requires the use of the
rip fence, and crosscutting requires the
miter gauge.
RIPPING (FIG. 37)
To reduce the risk of
injury, turn the saw off and disconnect it
from the power source before installing
and removing accessories, before
adjusting or changing set-ups, or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
