  • Page 11 Always use the blade guard and riving knife on all ''through-sawing'' opera- tions. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. Make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the table and is either supported by the rip fence or the crosscut table during cutting operations.
  • Page 12 • Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut warped, cupped or twisted wood. • Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece is not fed parallel with the blade, kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or miter gauge to support the workpiece.

  • Page 20 Before shipping, the sliding table was installed on the machine and calibrated to the main table and blade. As such, be careful not to move any pre-installed nuts when installing the sliding table. The sliding table and extension tables are heavy, so use a forklift or four strong helpers to lift the sliding table during installation.

    Before connecting the saw to power, read through section on to verify that your setup follows the safety and circuit requirements for this machine. Open the power connection box shown in Power Connection Box Power connection box. Connect the power wires to the terminals shown in , tighten the strain relief so the wires can't be pulled from the terminals, then close the power connection box.

  • Page 31: Blade Guard

    Put on safety glasses, make sure any bystanders are out of the way, and that all tools have been removed from the saw. Push in, then rotate both STOP buttons clockwise until they pop out. This resets the switch so the machine can be started.

  • Page 32: Riving Knife

    This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
  • Page 33 Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before they can be cut. • Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, they can cause kickback, and they can break or chip the blade, which might then fly apart.
  • Page 34 A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock, as shown in Figure Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from kickback because the splitter and blade guard must be removed.
  • Page 35 This saw performs best with high-quality sharp blades. Whenever the blades become dull, replace or sharpen them. To change the main blade, do these steps: DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! Hole for Arbor Lock Tool Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table) and raise the main blade as far as it will go.
  • Page 36 The "blade guard" is mounted to the riving knife and is designed to lift as the workpiece is pushed into the blade and remain in contact with the workpiece throughout the entire cut. The guard reduces injury risk by providing a barrier around the blade that prevents accidental contact and contains flying wood chips.
  • Page 37 The riving knife ( ) is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback. When properly mounted, the riving knife is positioned below the blade's highest point of rotation, as shown in The height difference between the riving knife and the blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during Illustration of a typical riving...
  • Page 38 The riving knife must be adjusted to 3mm away from the main saw blade. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table), and raise the main blade as far as it will go. Move the sliding table all the way forward to expose the internal blade guard that covers the blades and riving knife.

  • Page 40 This saw can only accept a dado blade with ⁄ " arbor hole and a maximum diameter of 8". The maximum width of dado blade that can be installed is ⁄ ". Attempting to install a dado blade that is sized larger than these maximum sizes is dangerous and should be avoided.

  • Page 44: Crosscutting

    Forward Mounted This saw can crosscut full size panels with the crosscut Crosscut Fence fence in the forward or rear position, although it is easier to load full size panels with the crosscut fence mounted in the forward position (see Figure .
  • Page 45 Rear Mounting Install the crosscut fence in the forward mounting Location location shown in and lock it in place. Check to make sure the fence is at 90˚. If necessary, adjust it as described in Set either flip stop to the desired width-of-cut. Extend the crosscut fence slide if the workpiece is Forward Mounting more than 74".

  • Page 46: Miter Cutting

    The crosscut fence allows miter cuts from 0˚ through 135˚. The table mounted miter scale has a resolution of 1˚. Slide the crosscut table to the front edge of the slid- ing table and lock it in place. Place the crosscut fence center stud in the left or right stud hole of the crosscut table.
  • Page 47 Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard saw Dado operations require proper pro- blade. Refer to to install a dado blade on this cedures to avoid serious injury.
  • Page 48 Turn the saw ON and keep one finger ready to push the STOP button. The blade should run smooth with no vibrations. The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a When the blade has reached full speed, perform a cut.

  • Page 49: Rabbet Cutting

    Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade. Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece requires a sacrificial fence attachment (Figure ).
  • Page 50 When making rabbet cuts with a standard blade, use a ripping-type blade to reduce motor overloading and blade The danger of kickback increases wear. Also, you will need to remove the blade guard/dust relative to the depth and width of a hood, but leave the riving knife installed, making sure cut.
  • Page 51 Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Serious injury can be caused by kickback.
