Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is

turning. Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely

stops raise the 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".

Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right

side of the blade.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

Avoid injury from blade contact. Never make through-saw

cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.

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 and your hand

cannot be safely put between the blade and the

rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move

the workpiece.

CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Z)

To prevent serious injury:

• Do not allow familiarity gained from the 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.

o Keep both hands away from the blade and path of

the blade.

1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in

the left side groove.

2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" 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.

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 (FIG.Y).

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.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA)

This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except

the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.

1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten

the blade bevel lock knob.

2. Always work to the left side of the blade when

crosscutting. The miter gauge (3) must be in the left

side groove (2).

Fig. AA

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB)

This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a

bevel angle.

1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle. Use

only the left side groove (2).

2. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired angle.

3. Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the

cutting operation.

Fig. BB

MITERING (FIG. CC)

This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except

the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.

1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle and

place in the left side groove (2).

1. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter

gauge.

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

prevent the workpiece from moving.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. DD)

When performing some special cutting operations, add

a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).

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

is as long as the rip fence.

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.

DADO CUTS (FIG. EE)

1. The dado table insert is included with this saw.

Remove the saw blade, the blade guard, and the

table insert. Install the dado and dado table insert.

2. Instructions for operating the dado are 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. It is not necessary to install the outside blade

flange (2) before screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make

sure that the arbor nut is tight, and that at least one

thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut.

5. Use only the 6" dado set and keep the width 13/16" or

less. It is necessary to remove the blade guard and

splitter when using a dado. Use caution when the

dado is operating.

6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades

and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's instruction

manual. The blade or chipper must not exceed 13/16".

7. Make sure 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.
