AvOId KIcKBAcKS (fIg. ff)
To avoid kickback (having the work thrown violently
back toward you), keep the blade sharp, keep the rip
fence parallel to the saw blade and keep the riving knife,
blade guard and anti-kickback pawls in place, aligned
and functioning. Do not release the work before passing
it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work that
is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide it along the fence. Do not attempt to back out of a
cut with the blade running.

Improper riving knife alignment can cause
"kickback" and serious injury.

Never use a rip fence and miter gauge together.
mITEr gAugE OpErATION (fIg. gg)
The miter gauge is accurately constructed with positive
index stops at 0°, 5°, 30°, 45°, 60° both right and left
side. To operate the miter gauge, loosen the lock
handle () and move the body of the miter gauge to the
desired angle. The miter gauge body will stop at 0°, 5°,
30°, 45°, 60°.
mITEr gAugE AdJuSTmENT (fIg. gg)
The miter gauge is accurately constructed with index
stops at 0°, 5°, 30°, 45°, 60° both right and left sides.
. Make sure that the miter gauge bar () will slide
freely through the table top grooves.
NOTE: The disc () at the end of the miter gauge
should engage in the t-slot in the table.
. Loosen the lock handle (3) to allow the miter body (4)
to rotate freely. Position the miter body at 90°(0°) so
the positive detent secures its position. Tighten the
lock handle (3) to hold the miter body in position.
3. To change angles on the miter gauge, loosen the
lock handle (3) and rotate the miter body to the
desired angle as indicated by the scale. Secure in
position by tightening the lock handle.

rIp fENcE AdJuSTmENT (fIg. II)
. The fence () can be repositioned by lifting up on
the handle () and sliding the fence to the desired
location. Pushing down on the handle locks the fence
in position.
. Position the fence on the right side of the table, and
along one edge of the miter gauge grooves.
3. Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel
with the miter gauge groove.
4. If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to
the groove, do the following:
• Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the
handle ().
• Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front
of the saw table. Move the far end of the fence
until it is parallel with the miter gauge groove.
• Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.
