BEFORE
STARllNG
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.
2. Before thru-sawing, check the Anti-Kickback
Pawls.
(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP
FENCE.")
The Pawls must stop a kickback once it
has started. Replace or sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls
when points become due
3. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials
may be cut on your saw. However, since these are
usually quite hard and slippery, the Anti-Kickback
Pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore, be espe-
cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.
WHILE CUTTING
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always
push forward on the section of the workpiece between
the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Never pushforward
on the piece being cut off.
3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too sina!! to
extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge face
during the cut. This lets you propedy hold the Miter
Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands
away from the blade. (See page 37.)
WHgLE CUTTING
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
- US-
iNG THE MITER GAUGE."

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS
BEFORE STARTING
1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crossc:£ting.
2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gauge
can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks.
Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing long
enough and big enough to support your work. Make

Guard.
