the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the
blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts
the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assem-
bly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor.
WARNING:
Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may
not lift the blade guard assembly properly. With the power off,
feed the workpiece slowly into the blade guard area and until
the workpiece touches the brade. If the blade guard assembly
contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade
guard assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the
motor.
Performed with miter gauge, is known as cutting wood at an
angle other than 90 ° with the edge of the wood.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
WARNING: When possible, use the right miter gauge slot
when bevel crosscutting so that the blade tilts away from the
miter gauge and yourhands.
WARNING: Use cautionwhen startingthe cutto prevent
binding of the guard againstthe workpiece.
Performedwith mitergauge, is same as crosscutting except
that the wood is also cut at an angle otherthan 90° withthe
flat side of the wood(blade is at an angle).
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
Performed with miter gauge, is a combination of miter cutting
and bevel crosscutting. Cut is made at angle otherthan 90° to
both the edge and flat side of wood.
RIPPING
WARNING:
When bevel ripping and whenever possible,
place the fence on the side of the blade so that the blade is
tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep hands clear of the
blade and use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there is
less than 6" between the fence and the blade.
Performed with rip fence, is known as cutting a piece of wood
with the grain or lengthwise. Position the fence to the desired
width of rip and lock in place. When ripping long boards or
large panels always use a work support.
BEVEL RIPPING
WARNING:
Before connecting the table saw to the power
source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard
assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance
with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel
angle.
WARNING:
When possible, place the fence on the right side
of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence
and hands. Keep your hands clear of the blade and use a
pushstick to feed the workpiece if there is less than 6"
between the fence and the blade.
Performed with rip fence, the same as ripping. However, blade
is set at an angle other than 90 ° .
RESAWlNG
Performed with rip fence, is known as ripping a piece of wood
through its thickness. Do not attempt to resaw bowed or
warped material.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove blade guard and use
work supports as well as push blocks when performing this
operation.
WARNING:
Install blade guard immediately upon completion
of resawing operation.
