OPERATING COMPONENTS

The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The height of
the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels, the saw table has rails on the right
side. Detailed instructions are provided in the operation section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts,
and compound cuts.
The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts. A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip fence and
the blade.
It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for all through-cut operations. The blade guard assembly includes: riving
knife, anti-kickback pawls, and plastic blade guard.
