USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG.

DD)

When performing some special cutting operations,

You can add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip

fence (2).

Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. thick wood board (1)

that is as long as the rip fence.

Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood

screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood

fence should be used when ripping material such as

thin paneling to prevent the material from catching

between the bottom of the fence and the table.

I_ WARNING I

ABRASIVE AND METAL CUTTING BLADES MUST

NOT BE USED WITH THIS SAW

This saw was not made to cut metals or masonry

materials, Doing so may result in injury. It will also

void the warranty.

I,dk WARNING I

ALL BLADES MUST:

1. Be rated at 5000 RPM or higher.

2. Have a 518 in. arbor hole.

3. Be no larger in diameter than 10 in.

Smaller diameter blades may be used. While this will

result in a reduced depth of cut, the output of the motor

will be increased.

DADO CUTS (FIG. EE)

I,A. WARNING I

a. Only Stackable dado blades can be used on this

saw,

DO NOT use Adjustable or Wobble type dadoes.

Maximum dado cut width is 1_ in.

A dado table insert must be purchased separately

for this saw to accept a dado blade. Remove

saw blade and blade guard for dado cuts ONLY.

Reinstall and realign blade guard for all through

sawing operations. Install a dado not exceeding 6

in. in diameter and Y2in. in width

2. Install the dado table insert making sure the rear of

the insert is flush with the table. A rubber adjusting

spacer is provided under the rear of the insert for

this purpose.

3. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the

separately purchased dado set.

4. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum

width of the cut to Y2in.

5. It is not necessary to install the outside flange (2)

before threading on the arbour nut (3) for maximum

Y2in. dado cuts. Make sure that the arbor nut (3) is

tight, and that at least one thread of the arbor sticks

out past the nut.

6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades

and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's

instruction manual. Blade/chippers must not exceed

Y2in. total in width.

7. Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the

housing, insert, or motor when in operation.

IA WARNING I

For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade

guard assembly, and blade insert when you are

finished with the dado operation. You must also

realign the blade guard assembly.
