/ik WARNING: DO NOT let familiarity with your saw make you careless in its

operation. Remember it only takes a careless fraction of a second to cause severe

personal injury. ALWAYS keep both hands away from the blade and blade path.

i i

A DANGER: NEVER attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a cutting

operation. This will cause kickback and possible serious injury to the user.

1. Place miter gauge in a miter gauge slot on the

table.

2. Raise the blade so it is approximately 1/8-inch

above the workpiece.

3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge

with the blade path in line with desired cut

location. Keep the workpiece about 1-inch away

from blade.

4. Turn on the saw and wait for the blade to reach

full speed.

5. NEVER stand directly in line with the saw blade

path, ALWAYS stand to the side of the blade.

6. Keep the workpiece flat against the front of the miter gauge and flat against the table.

Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade.

7. 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 has stopped turning.

iik WARNING: ALWAYS position the larger surface of the workpiece on the table

when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting to avoid unstability.
