OVERVIEW
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the
table, surrounded by an insert called the throat plate.
The height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the
front of the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels,
the tabletop has extensions on each side. Detailed
instructions are provided in the Operation section of
this manual for the basic cuts: cross cuts, miter cuts,
bevel cuts, and compound cuts.

For cuts with the blade straight up and cutting across
the grain (cross cuts or miter cuts), use the miter gage
to set the angle and push the wood into the blade. To
cut with the blade straight up, along the grain of the
wood (rip cuts), use the rip fence to guide the wood.
Push smaller pieces with a pushblock or pushstick.
To tilt the blade for a bevel cut, use the bevel
handwheel on the side of the cabinet. A bevel scale
on the front of the cabinet shows the blade angle.
