THROUGH CUTS
WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts
to avoid possible injury.
WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be
effective.
WARNING: DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
WARNING: To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the
workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge during any mitre cut.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt compound mitre cuts, with blade beveled and mitre fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with
the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here.
WARNING: Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury.
WARNING: NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury.
WARNING: Never make through cuts without the blade guard in place. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal
injury.
MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 19)
The mitre gauge (28) provides accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances,
test cut are recommended. There are two mitre gauge grooves, one on either side
of blade. When making a 90° cross cut, use either mitre gauge groove. When
making a beveled cross cut (blade tilted in relation to working table, mitre gauge
should be located in groove on right so that blade is tilted away from mitre gauge
and hands.
Using mitre gauge
◌ Loosen mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it counterclockwise.
◌ With mitre gauge in mitre gauge groove, rotate gauge until desired angle on
scale is reached.
◌ Retighten mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it clockwise.
OUTFEED SUPPORT (Fig. 20)
The outfeed support slides to give operator additional support for cutting long
workpieces.
◌ Unplug the saw.
◌ Loosen the lock knobs (80) under the working table counter-clockwise.
◌ Stand behind saw. Grasp outfeed support (15) with both hands and pull until it
is fully extended.
◌ Tighten the lock knobs (80) clockwise.
PUSH STICK (Fig. 21)
Push stick (38) is a device used for safely pushing a work piece through the blade
instead of using your hands. A push stick is included with your saw, but it can be
made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a specific project.
The stick must be narrower than the work piece, with a 90° notch in one end and
shaped for a grip on the other end.
Push stick should be used in place of the user's hand to guide the material between
38
the fence and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must
be square.
A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the work piece away
from the fence, which may cause kickback resulting in serious personal injury.
The push stick can be stored in the push stick storage (36).
WARNING: Always use the push stick with the narrow fence (2) whenever the
fence is 150 mm or less from the blade.
WARNING: When the push stick is not in use, always it must be stored in the
push stick storage.
