of the workpiece that will pass between the blade
and the fence. Use a push stick at all times.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES
la,WARNINGI
Avoid injury from the blade contact. Never make
through-saw cuts narrower than 3/4 in. wide.
1.
2.
It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
When a small width is to be ripped, your hand
cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip
fence, therefore, use one or more push sticks to
pass the workpiece completely through and past the
blade.
6. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When your hand
reaches the front edge of the table (2), finish the cut
with a push stick (3) (Fig. X). You can make a push
stick using the pattern on page 28.
7. The push stick (3) should always be used during all
ripping operations.
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick
(3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the
rear of the table.
DANGER[
Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards
during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback
and serious injury to the user can occur. When
the blade completely stops raise the anti-kickback
pawls on each side of the splitter and slide the
workpiece out.

BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than "0".
I_ WARNING I
Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the
right side of the blade.
IA DANGER I
Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards
during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback
and serious injury to the user can occur.
CROSSCUTTING 90° MITER ANGLE (FIG. Y)
IA.WARNING[
To prevent serious injury:
Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of
your table saw to cause careless mistakes.
Remember that even a careless fraction of a
second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Keep both hands away from the blade and the
path of the blade.
Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards
during a cutting operation. This will cause
kickback and serious injury to the user can
occur,
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge a
miter gauge groove on the table.
2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. higher than
the top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Move the workpiece to one inch 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 flat 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 is completely
stopped.
IA.WARNING[
Always position the larger surface of the workpiece
on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel
crosscutting to avoid unstability.
