switch to the ON position.
The ON t OFF switch should be in th# OFF position, and the
plug removed from the power sourcd while the coo! down
takes place to prevent accidental starting and possible injury
when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be
caused by misaligned parts or dull blade, Inspect your saw
for proper setup before using it again.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts: rippingand crosscutting.
.Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the
workqpiece.Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or
across the grain of the workplace.
Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely
freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
CAUTION: Before using the saw each and every time, check
the following:
1.
The blade is tight on the arbor.
2,
The bevel angle lock handle is tight.
3.
If ripping, the fence handle is tight and the fence is
parallel to the miter gauge grooves.
4.
The blade guard is in place and working properly.
5.
Safety glasses are being worn,
The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and
those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase
the likelihood d injury.
