occur.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in
the miter gauge groove on the table.
2. Adjust the blade height so that it is 1/8 in. (3.2 mm)
higher than the top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece rmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Move the workpiece to a 1 in. (25.4 mm)
distance from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up
to full speed. Never stand directly in line of the saw
blade path, always stand to the side of the blade that
you are cutting on.
5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter
gauge (3) and at against the table. Then 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 has completely
stopped.
