Miter Cross Cutting
This operation is the same as cross cutting, except
the miter gauge is set to an angle other than 0.
After changing the blade angle, verify the alignment
of the guard and splitter and verify that there is
clearance with the saw blade.
Hold the work piece firmly against the miter gauge
and feed the workpiece slowly into the blade to
prevent it from moving during the cut.
Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts
When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly
adjusted, the blade tilt handwheel allows the
operator to tilt the blade to the left, between 0°
and 45°. This is used most often when cutting
bevels, compound miters or chamfers.
Dado Cutting
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the
workpiece that does not cut all the way through the
material. Most dado head sets are made up of two
outside blades and four or five inside cutters. Dadoing
may also be performed using a standard blade and
making multiple passes across the blade.
This saw can accommodate dado blades up to 10" in
diameter. The riving knife MUST be installed while using
a 10" diameter dado blade. This will reduce the risk of
hands being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs.
DO NOT use the riving knife if you install a dado blade
smaller than 10" in diameter. If the riving knife height
exceeds the blade height, workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut. This will force the
operator into a dangerous situation of trying to turn the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway
through the cut.
WARNING:
Blades are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when
working with or around the blade. Wear proper safety protection such as heavy
gloves.
