OPERATION
USING THE MITER GAUGE
Fig. 12
The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts.
For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left.

MAKING A RIP CUT
1. Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece us-
ing the height adjustment wheel.
2. Position the rip fence at the desired distance from the blade for the cut and securely lock the handle. See "AD-
JUSTING THE EXTENSION TABLE" section on page 12.
3. Make sure the workpiece is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.
4. When ripping a long workpiece, place a support at the same height as the table surface behind the saw.
5. Turn the saw on.
6. Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
7. Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure
the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with both the rip fence and the surface of the table.
8. If ripping a narrow piece, use the included push stick to move the piece through the cut and past the blade.
9. When the cut has been made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing
the workpiece.
MAKING A MITER CUT
1. Remove the rip fence. See "ADJUSTING THE EXTENSION TABLE" section on page 12.
2. Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece using the height adjustment wheel.
3. Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and tighten the lock knob. See " USING THE MITER GAUGE" section
above.
4. Make sure the workpiece is clear of the blade and turn the saw on.
5. Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the workpiece into the blade.
6. Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on the miter gauge and feed the workpiece into the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from the
blade should be placed on the workpiece.
7. When the cut has been made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing
the workpiece.
