MITERING (FIG, AA)

This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting

except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other

than 90°

1. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the miter

gauge (3).

2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to

prevent the workpiece from moving.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG.

BB)

When performing some special cutting operations, add

a wood facing (1) to the side of the rip fence between

the fence and the blade where you will be cutting (2).

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

measure as long as the rip fence is.

2. 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.

AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. BB-1)

Making the base:

• Start with a piece of 3/8" plywood at least 5-1/2" wide

or wider and 30" long or longer.

• Cut the piece to shape and size shown:

Making the side:

• Start with a piece of 3/4" plywood at least 2-3/8" wide

or wider and 27" long or longer

• Cut the piece to shape and size shown:

Putting it together:

• Put the pieces together, as shown:

Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the

bottom of the base, they must be flush or recessed. The

bottom must be flat and smooth enough to rest on the

saw table without rocking.

DADO CUTS (FIG. CC)

1. The dado blade insert is included with this saw. Remove

the saw blade, original table inset and blade guard. Install

the dado and dado blade insert.

2. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the

separately purchased dado set.

3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width of

the cut to 13/16".

4. When making full 13/16" dado cuts, it is not necessary to

install the outside flange (2) before screwing on the arbor

nut (3). Make sure that the arbor nut (3) is tight, and that at

least one thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut.

5. Do not exceed 8" diameter dadoes and keep the width

13/16" or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade

guard and splitter when using a dado blade. Always use

caution when operating a dado blade.

6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades and

inside chippers as shown in the dado set's instruction

manual. Blade or chipper must not exceed 13/16".

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

housing, insert, or motor when in operation.

For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade

guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished

with the dado operation.
