CUTTING
A KERF IN THE WORK TABLE
AND FENCE
NOTE:
The life of your
saw table
will be lengthened
considerably
if you will
cover
the front
table
with
a
fitted
piece
of 1/4 inch
plywood.
This
should
be
tacked
in place
for easy replacement.
Use of such a
cover
will allow
you to do all cutting
into the cover,
rather
than
your
table
top.
This
will
help
prevent
dulling
of the saw blade
and striking
table
mounting
hardware.
Place tacks out of the path of the sawblade.
1. Elevate
arm so that the blade
clears
the top of the
fence
and
then
push
the
motor
to
its
most
rearward
position.
2. Lower
the arm so that
the blade
just
clears
the
rear table.
Note:
The rear table
should
be at the
same level as the front table
(see "Leveling
Front
Work
Table",
page 16).
If front
table
cover
is
used, set blade so that it just clears
the front
table
board
cover.
3. Lock
the rip lock handle
and check
to make sure
carriage
is locked
in place.
Plug
saw
into
a
grounded
outlet.
(See section
titled,
"Electrical
Connections",
page 7.)
4. Insert
the
yellow
key
into
switch
and,
while
holding
the yoke handle,
turn the switch
on.
5. With
the
motor
on, turn
the elevation
handle
counterclockwise
to lower the sawblade
to where
it just
cuts into the table
approximately
1/32 to
1/16
inch deep.
While
holding
the yoke
handle
and with motor
still on, unlock
the rip lock handle
and then
pull
the motor
forward
and out to the
front
stop on the arm. This will allow
the blade
to
cut through
the fence
and to cut ashallow
kerf in
thetable
1/32to
1/16 inch deepto
provide
for the
blade cutting
completely
through
the workpiece.
NOTE:A
kerfwill
have to be cut into the table
priorto
makJng
any thru
cutting
operation
using
this
pro-
cedure.
