to give accurate
45 ° and
90 ° settings
and
carefully
packed
to protect
this
fine
setting
in
shipment.
It is possible that
rough
handling
in shipment
may
have
disturbed
this setting.
By use of a combination

OPERATION:
The Blade
provided
with
this saw
may
be used for
both
cross-cutting
and
ripping_
For proper
chip clearance
and best general
resuhs,
the blade
should
proiect
through
the work-piece
ap-
proximately
_ inch.
Do not force material
into the Blade
too fash
Use
a straight,
direct,
steady
feed
which
does not over-
tax the cutting
capacity
of the blade.
To eliminate
creep of your
work
when
making
a
Miter
cut, clamp
the work
piece to the gauge_
Support
long
work
as
it leaves
the
rear
of the
table.
If overall
thickness
of Dado
set exceeds
% of an
inch in width,
the Saw Clamp Washer,
No. 86, should
not be used in order
to insure proper
thread
engage-
ment of Hex Nut No_ 85, on the Arbor.
For other
ideas, suggestions,
etco pertaining
to the
operation
of Circular
Saws, refer
to the Circular
Saw
Booklet found
in the envelope°
NOTE:
After
a few
hours
of operation,
tighten
all
Pulley
Set Screws_

SAFETY:
While
the bench saw is one of the most widely
used
woodshop
power
toots,
it is by nature
of its general
design,
one of the most dangerous
in the hands
of
inexperienced
or careless
operators°
The bench saw
is not, however,
an unsafe
tool when
used with
com-
mon
sense and good
judgment,.
Use a push block rather
than
letting the hands get
closer than
3 inches to the blade
on narrow
cuts°
Never
hold the hands over the blade
when
making
btind
groove
type cuts° Stand to one side when
com-
pleting
a cut.
A loose piece caught
by the blade
can
fly back with
surprising
force.
Always
stop the saw
when
removing
waste
stock
from
near
the blade,
when
making
adjustments,
or
when
changing
settings_
Do not wear
dangling
neckties,
loose baggy
s_eeves,
etco, while
operating
power
tools.
