2. Make
sure the arbor
nut is snug.
3. Clamp
the guard
in a horizontal
position.
4. Lock the swivel
lock handle.
Make sure it is firmly
locked.
(See page 24.)
5. Hold
work
firmly
against
table
and
fence.
To
avoid
tipping
or throwing
of workpieces
thicker
than
the fence
is high,
install
a higher
fence
(at
least
workpiece
thickness).
Always
place
the
fence
in the most forward
position
(farthest
from
the column
support)
compatible
with the work-
piece
being
processed
and the operation
being
performed.
With
the carriage
fully
retracted,
the
blade
must
not
contact
the
workpiece
when
placed
against
the fence,
within
the stated
capa-
cities
of you r saw. Do not confine
the cutoff
piece
with
your
hand,
length
stop
or any other
item.
The blade
could
throw
it, causing
an accident.
6. Keep
hands
well away
from
saw blade.
Do not
place
hands
where
sudden
blade
or workpiece
movement
could
cause hand to slip into the path
of the blade.
Always
keep the hand
holding
the
workpiece
visible
at all times.

Adjust
the elevation
so blade
will
cut
into
the
table
cover
or table
not more than
1/32 inch.
To adjust the anti-kickback
and spreader assem-
bly so the pawls just clear the workpiece
and the
fence. (See page 26.)
Pull saw forward just enough to cut the lumber in
two, and then
return
the saw to its full
rear
position.
It is dangerous
to pull blade too far out
beyond the piece being cut. When it is returned it
can pick up the board and throw it over the fence.
OPERATION
NO.
1 - CROSSCUT
Crosscutting
is the process
of sawing
across
the
width
of the workpiece
by pulling
the
saw
blade
through
it and using
the fence
as a support
for the
edge of the workpiece.
Never
crosscut
free-hand.
WARNING:
YOU WILL NOTICE
THAT
WHEN
PULL-
ING
THE
SAW
BLADE
TOWARD
YOU
DURING
CROSSCUTTING
THE
BLADE
TENDS
TO FEED
ITSELF
THROUGH
THE
WORKPIECE.
THIS
IS
DUE
TO
THE
ROTATION
OF
THE
BLADE.
TO
CONTROL
THIS
YOU
SHOULD
DEVELOP
THE
HABIT
HOLDING
YOUR RIGHT
FOREARM
IN LINE
WITH
THE ARM OF THE SAW THROUGHOUT
THE
CUT.
ALSO
MAKE
SURE
THE
CARRIAGE
BEAR-
INGS
ARE ADJUSTED
PROPERLY
SO CARRIAGE
DOESN'T
TRAVEL
TOO
FREELY.
OPERATION
NO. 2 - MITER
CROSSCUT
Miter
crosscutting
is the process
of sawing
across
the width
of a workpiece
at any angle
other
than
a
90 ° (square)
cut. The 45 ° miter
angle
is a popular
one, since
two
boards
cut to 45 ° can be assembled
to form
a 90 ° corner
for
producing
a square
or
