BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than 0 °.
Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
side of the blade.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
Avoid
injury from blade contact.
Never make through_saw
cuts narrower
than I/2" wide.
1.
2,
It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece,
When a small width is to be ripped and your hand
cannot be safely put between the blade and the
rip fence, use one or more'push sticks to move
the workpiece.
CROSSCUTTING
(FIG. W)
To prevent serious injury:
,
Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use
of your table saw to cause careless mistakes.
Remember that even a careless fraction of a second
is enough to cause a severe injury.
•
Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the
blade.
1.
Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in
the left side groove.
2.
Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Move the workpiece to one inch distance
from the blade.
4,
Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to
full speed.
5.
Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter
gauge (3) and flat against the face of the gauge and
flat against the table. Then slowly push the
workpiece through the blade (FIG. W).
6.
Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
(FroG.X)
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except
the blade is at bevel angle other than 0 °.
1.
Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten
the blade bevel lock knob.
2,
Always work to the left side of the blade. The miter
gauge (3) must be in the left side groove {2). It
cannot be used in the right side groove unless the
miter angle is very sharp, as it wilt interfere with the
blade guard.

COMPOUND
MITER CROSSCUTTING
(FIG. Y)
This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a
bevel angle.
1.
Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle. Use
only the left side groove (2).
2.
Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired angle.
3.
Carefully push the miler gauge to begin the
cutting operation.

MITERING (FIG. Z)
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except
the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90 °.
1.
Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the miter
gauge (3).
2.
Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to
prevent the workpiece from moving.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RmPFENCE (FIG. AA)
When performing some special cutting operations, add
a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2):
1.
Use a smooth straight 3/4" thick wood board (1) that
is as long as the rip fence.
2.
Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood
screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood
fence should be used when ripping material such as
thin paneling to prevent the material from catching
between the bottom of the fence and the table.

DADO CUTS (FIG. BB)
1.
The dado table insert is included with this saw.
Remove saw blade, blade guard, installed dado,
and dado table insert.
2.
Instructions for operating the dado are packed with
the separately purchased dado set.
3.
The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum
width of the cut to 1/2".
4.
It is not necessary to install the outside flange (2)
before screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that
the arbor nut (3) is tight, and that at least one thread
of the arbor sticks out past the nut.
5.
Use only the 6" dado set and keep the width 1/2" or
less. It wil! be necessary to remove the blade guard
and splitter when using dado. Use caution when
dado is operating.
6.
Use only the correct number of round outside blades
and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's instruction
manual. Blade or chipper must not exceed 1/2".
7.
Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the
housing, insert, or motor when in operation.
For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade
guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished
with the dado operation.
