OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR #80468 SLIDING TABLE

SET UP

1. Gain access to the blade guard mounting screws by removing the panel on the right side of the saw enclosure.
Remove the 2 screws holding the blade guard in place at back of saw and remove the blade guard. Save the screws
for reinstallation of the guard at a later time (whenever the sliding table is not in use).
2. Remove the miter gauge and rip fence from the saw.
3. Since you must make the initial cut in the sliding table through tempered hardboard, a new or nearly new (preferably
carbide) blade must be installed at this time.
4. Adjust the blade height to approximately 5/8" above the saw table top. (Blade should be set at 90° to the table top).
5. WITH THE CAUTION LABEL FACING YOU, place the rear edge of sliding table on the front edge of saw table . Be
certain the runners on the bottom of the sliding table are seated in the grooves on the saw table.
6. Turn on the saw and push the sliding table through the saw slowly and gently.
FROM AREA OF FENCE WHERE THE BLADE WILL EMERGE.
sliding table is ready for use.

USING THE SLIDING TABLE

1. Raise saw blade approximately 1/16" higher than stock being cut. Do not attempt to cut stock thicker than 1/2".
2. Do not use sliding table with blade tilted at an angle. Blade must be 90° to table at all times.
3. Since the slots in the saw table vary slightly from saw to saw, it was necessary to manufacture your sliding table with
a small amount of play (side-to-side movement). To insure the accuracy of cuts, the sliding table should be pushed
forward with a slight amount of side pressure so that one runner rubs against the side of its mating slot in the table.
4. To make crosscuts, hold stock tightly against fence closest to
you. Turn on the saw and slide table slowly through the cut.
Never pull the tray backwards through the blade while saw is
running. Turn off saw and wait for blade to stop spinning
before returning sliding table to starting position.
THE CAUTION LABEL MUST FACE YOU AT ALL TIMES.
5. To make miter cuts, place the appropriate triangle on the
sliding table tightly against the fence. To prevent triangles
from slipping, cut small pieces of sandpaper from the larger
piece supplied. Cut 16 pieces approx. 3/8" x 1" (3 per surface
for 30/60° triangle and 5 per surface for 45° triangle.) Peel off
backing from sandpaper and press tightly in place in positions
shown below. Then line up stock to be cut against edge of
triangle. Be certain tip of triangle is slightly away from slot in
table. Turn on the saw and slide table slowly through the blade,
holding stock and triangle securely. Never pull the tray
backwards through the blade while saw is running.
THE CAUTION LABEL MUST FACE YOU AT ALL TIMES.
