SPECIAL CUTTING TECHNIQUES
This table saw is a highly versatile tool, capable
of performing a wide range of highly specialized
cuts that cannot be covered in this manual. Do
not attempt to perform cuts not covered in this
manual unless you are thoroughly familiar with
procedures and fixturing. See your local library
for books on woodworking techniques, such as:
The Complete Book of Stationary Power Tool
Techniques by R.J. DeChristoforo or Table Saw
Techniques by R. Cliffe.
CUTTING METALS AND MASONRY
Do not use this tool to cut
metal or masonry materi-
als. These types of materials may damage the
tool and prevent it from proper operation.
This table saw is not recommended for cutting
metals, such as aluminum or copper, even with
a special blade designed to cut these materials.
The Active Response Technology™ injury mitiga-
tion system does not distinguish between the op-
erator touching the blade or the operator feeding
a conductive work piece into the blade. The sys-
tem is highly likely to trigger under these condi-
tions. Use the bypass mode if cutting a composite
material that could cause this trigger. This table
saw is not recommended for cutting any masonry
material, even with abrasive cut-off wheels.
