Preparing Your Saw for Use

Saw Placement

Position the saw on a level surface away from sources of moisture and electrical noise. Make sure there is
suffi cient room to allow free access to all sides of the saw.

Table Insert Removal and Installation

Your saw is shipped with a high-quality, zero-clearance table insert. The insert is factory-adjusted to fi t securely
in the table opening and below the table surface. If you wish to perform additional adjustment on the insert,
see page 77 for instructions.
The rear of the table insert is held in place by two lock-down screws in the bottom rear of the insert and two
lock-down screws in the table opening. It is held down in the front by latches formed at the ends of a rotating
lock-down lever. The lock-down lever allows you to easily remove the insert without the use of tools.
lock-down lever
To install the table insert, hold it at a slight angle, with
the lock-down lever rotated upwards and the rear of
the insert lower than the front (see Fig. 36). Slide the
rear of the insert around the spreader or riving knife
and against the back of the table opening so that the
heads of the rear lock-down screws in the bottom of the
insert slide under the heads of the lock-down screws
in the table opening (see Fig. 37). Then, with the lock-
down lever rotated upwards, lower the front end of the
insert into the table opening until the insert lies fl at.
Finally, rotate the lock-down lever all the way down so
that it fi ts along the edge of the table insert. Be certain
that no part of the table insert extends up beyond the
table surface; it should be fl ush or just below the table
surface.
CAUTION! Do not use table inserts with metal or other electrically-conductive parts that
could contact the blade. This can cause the brake to be activated unnecessarily.
