DANGER
• To avoid serious injury, keep hands out of the path of
the spinning blade. Maintain awareness of the blade at
all times.
• Always turn off and unplug the saw when making
any adjustments
WARNING
1
• The table saw crosscut sled is intended for use only on
cabinet and full-size contractor-grade table saws with a
standard 3/8"D x 3/4"W miter slot. It is NOT intended for use
on portable saws.
• The distance between the blade and miter track must be 4-1⁄4"
or greater to ensure proper clearance between the sled fence
and the blade.
• Make sure there is sufficient out-feed support and that the out-
feed support does not obstruct the path of the crosscut sled's
miter bar.
• DO NOT use the table saw's rip fence when using the
crosscut sled.
• DO NOT use the crosscut sled with dado blades.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
• The crosscut sled is not intended for making compound cuts.
• During setup, the crosscut sled is cut to fit your specific saw.
Read the instructions carefully to complete this essential
setup step.
• The hold-down clamp and sled fence MUST be positioned so
they will NOT come into contact with saw blade.
• You MUST tighten all knobs and the hold down to secure the
workpiece after making any adjustments and before making
any cuts.
• Keep the saw blade as low as possible to make the cut, as
defined by your table saw's instruction manual.
• The miter bar MUST be able to slide freely forward and
backward without side-to-side play. NEVER attempt to force
the crosscut sled if it fails to slide freely.
• Before making the actual cut, become familiar with the cutting
process by practicing the motion of the cut with the blade
lowered and the power turned off.
• DO NOT attempt to cut pieces that are too short to be secured
to the crosscut sled with the hold-down clamp.
• STOP USING the Crosscut sled IMMEDIATELY if any
component develops a crack or other sign of the loss of
structural integrity.
