For safety reasons, verify that the operator has read the section entitled general
safety guidelines for the table saw before operating this saw. Verify the following
before every time the table saw is used:
> The blade is tight.
> The blade bevel locking handle is locked.
> If ripping, the rip fence locking handle is tight, and the fence is parallel to the mitre
gauge groove and the blade.
> If crosscutting, the mitre gauge locking handle is tight.
> The blade guard and riving knife are in place, and are working properly.
> The dust extraction hose is fixed in the slot of the hose hold.
> Safety glasses are worn.
> Failure to adhere to these safety rules will greatly increase the chances of injury.
Before using the table saw, polish the tabletop with an automotive polishing wax
in order to keep it clean, and to make it easier to slide the work piece.
There are two basic types of table saw cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping
refers to cutting along the length of the grain and the work piece. Crosscutting
refers to either cutting across the width or across the grain of the work piece. This
distinction may be hard to make with man made materials. Therefore, cutting a
piece of material to a different width is ripping, and cutting across the short
dimension is crosscutting.
Neither operation can be performed safely freehand: ripping requires the use of
the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the use of the mitre gauge. Never use the
rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time during the cutting operation.
Warning: Risk of injury!
Do not use more than one rip fence or a combination of a mitre
gauge and a rip fence at the same time during a cutting operation.
Ripping
> Remove the mitre gauge, and secure the rip fence to the table.
> Raise the blade until it is approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of the work
piece.
> Place the work piece flat on the table and against the fence so that the larger
portion of the work piece is between the blade and the fence. Keep the work
piece approximately 1" (2.5 cm) away from the blade.
