See Figure 2.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator's manual
as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting.
Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all op-
erating features and safety rules.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which
the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The
teeth on the removable anti-kickback pawls point away
from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled
back toward the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to
help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.
BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of
the cabinet shows the exact blade angle.
BLADE - This saw is provided with a 10 in. carbide blade.
The blade is raised and lowered with the height/bevel
adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are locked with the
bevel locking lever.
_1_ WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the
speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could
result in personal injury.
BLADE GUARD - Always keep the removable blade guard
down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.
BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever, placed just under
the saw table surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the
angle setting of the blade.
HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL - Located
on the front of the cabinet, use this handwheel to lower
and raise the blade for height adjustments or blade re-
placement. This handwheel also makes the adjustment for
bevel angles easy.
MITER GAUGE - The miter gauge aligns the wood for
a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact
angle for a miter cut.
MITER GAUGE GROOVES - The miter gauge rides in the
grooves on the saw table.
OUTFEED SUPPORT - This table extension at the back
of the tool gives the operator additional support when cut-
ting long workpieces.
RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece
and is secured with the locking handle.
RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece of the blade
guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which
helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback. When in
the through sawing, or "up" position, it is higher than the
saw blade. When in the non-through sawing, or "down"
position, it is below the saw blade teeth.
SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale
provides precise measurements for rip cuts.
SLIDING TABLE EXTENSION - Located on the right side
of the saw table, this table extension gives the operator
additional support when cutting wide workpieces.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access
power switch located below the front rail. To lock the
switch in the OFF position, remove the switch key from
the switch. Place the key in a location that is inaccessible
to children and others not qualified to use the tool.
