USE
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
• For your own safety, read all of the rules and precautions
before operating tool.
• Tighten all knobs and hold downs securing the workpiece
after making any adjustments and before making
any cuts.
Taper Cutting
Refer to Figure 7–9
DO NOT use the table saw fence when making a taper cut.
1.
Slide the miter bar into the saw's miter slot and position the
jig at the front of the saw, clear of the blade. See the Miter
Bar Adjustment instructions, if needed.
2.
Set the adjustable fence to the desired taper. There are
three ways to set the taper angle.
• Use the indexing marks located at both ends of the
base. This will set the degree of the taper. The distance
between each mark represents 1 degree of taper.
Example: If the adjustable fence is set at the sixth mark
from the left at the front of the jig base and at the fourth
mark from the left rear, the taper will be a 2 degree taper.
• Use the tape measures to set the beginning and ending
widths of the taper.
Figure 7
• Use the stock/workpiece: Mark the beginning and ending
on the stock and align these marks with the zero-
clearance edge.
OPERATION
3.
Tighten the five star knobs on each end of the adjustable
fence to secure in place.
4.
Place the workpiece tight against the adjustable fence with
the eventual narrow end flush against the adjustable stop on
the fence. Position the adjustable stop so it will support the
workpiece but will not come in contact with the blade during
the cut. Make sure the screws are tightened.
Figure 8
5.
Position the hold down clamps along the workpiece. Make
sure they will not come in contact with the saw blade, guard
or riving knife during the cut. Tighten the five star knobs to
secure the workpiece. DO NOT try to cut pieces that are too
narrow to be secured by the hold down clamps.
6.
With the saw turned off, lower the blade and practice the cut
using the tapered knob to push the jig forward. Make any
needed adjustments and tighten all knobs.
7.
Return the jig to the starting position, raise the blade, turn
on the saw and slowly advance the jig to make the cut.
Once the cut is made, turn off the saw and allow the blade
to stop spinning before returning the jig to the starting
Indexing Marks
position. Figure 9.
