(BEVEL) MITER CUT
MAKING
A LARGE
PANEL
CUT
Refer to Figure 55.
Make sure the saw is properly secured
to a work surface
to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
•
Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table
behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to the sides as
needed.
•
Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or
miter gauge. !f the panel istoo large to use either the rip fence
or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter
gauge or rip fence), Such a cut increases the risk of kickback
and can result in serious injury.
Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
•
Let the blade
build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
°
Hold the workpiece
firmly and feed the workpiece
into the
blade.
°
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the
workpiece.
°
After the blade has stopped completely,
remove the cutoff
stock.

MAKING
A NON-THROUGH
CUT
Refer to Figure 56.
Non4hrough cuts can be made with the grain (ripping) or across
the grain (cross cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential
to cutting grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. DO NOT perform bevel
non-through cuts on this machine.
NOTE:
This is the only type of cut that is made without the blade
guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly
_sreinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.
Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in
addition to this section
on non-through
or dado cuts. For
example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and
understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.
WARNING:
When making a non4hrough
cut, the cutter is
covered by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the
exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid the
risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never feed wood with your hands when making
any non-through cut such as rabbets. To avoid personal injury,
always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards.
