the wood.
1. Make sure blade is parallel to miter gauge slot prior to cutting. Instructions for adjustment on page

2. Remove rip fence (T).
3. Set blade (W) to correct depth for workpiece.
4. Set miter gauge (U) to 0° and tighten lock knob.
5. Make sure wood is clear of blade (W) before turning on saw.
6. To turn saw on, lift switch button.
7. Let blade (W) build up to full speed before moving workpiece into blade (W).
8. Hand closest to blade (W) should be placed on miter gauge (U) lock knob and hand farthest from
blade (W) should be placed on workpiece. Feed workpiece into blade (W).
9. When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade (W) to come to a complete stop before removing
workpiece.
Making a Rip Cut
Rip cutting: Rip cutting is performed predominantly in a parallel direction with the grain of the wood.
1. Make sure blade is parallel to miter gauge slot prior to cutting. Instructions for adjustment on page
44.
2. Set blade (W) to correct depth for workpiece.
3. Position rip fence (T) at desired distance from blade (W) for cut and lock both ends securely.
4. Make sure wood is clear of blade (W) before turning on saw.
5. When ripping a long workpiece, place support same height as table (V) surface behind saw for
