COMPOUND MATER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of

miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is

made at an angle other than 90° to both the edge

and the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired

angle ... Make sure miter gauge is locked.

USgNG THE RIP FENCE

RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, PLOUGHING,

MOLDING, RESAWING AND RABBETING are

performed using the RIP FENCE together with the

AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, PUSH

STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAt'S

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 2, 3, and 4.

1. Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without

using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when

required) because the blade could bind in the

cut and cause a KICKBACK.

2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.

3. Remove miter gauge from table.

4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-

sawing type cuts. Replace the guard

IMMEDIATELY following completion of

resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding

operations.

Frequently check the action of the

ANTIKICKBACK PAWLS by passing the

workpiece alongside of the spreader while saw

is OFF.

Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. tf the PAWLS

do not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it...

the pawls must be SHARPENED. See

"Maintenance" section.

5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above

top of workpiece. Additional blade exposure

would increase the hazard potential.

6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case

of a KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the

blade.

7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of

the path of the blade.

8. If ths blade stalls or stops while cutting. TURN

SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the

blade.

10.

11.

Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the

workpiece through the cut.., to support long or

heavy workpieces.., to remove small cut-off

pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER

REASON.

Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material

from the table. REMOVE them by pushing them

OFF the table with a long stick. Otherwise they

could be thrown back at you by the rear of the

blade.

Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material

that may become TRAPPED inside the blade

guard while the saw is RUNNING. THIS COULD

ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause a

KICKBACK.

Turn the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped

turning, lift the guard and remove the piece.

RiPPiNG

RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood with

the grain, or lengthwise. This is done using the rip

fence.

Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIPand

lock in place.

Before starting to rip, be sure

A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.

B. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade.

C. Antikickback pawls are functioning properly.

When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS,

always use a work su pport.

A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of

plywood to a sawhorse.

BEVEL RIPPING

When bevel ripping material 6 in. or narrower, use

fence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This will

provide more space between the fence and the

sawblade for use of a push stick. If the fence is

mounted to the left, the sawblade guard may

interfere with proper use of a push stick.
