3. 40 lb. Weight: This gives table the gravity fed momentum.

Operating instructions
There are four key components that must be taken into consideration before cutting
your material.
1. Blade type / pitch required for the material.
2. Speed (fpm) to appropriately cut the material.
3. Feed pressure.
4. Table feed rate
Using the chart on the inside of the upper wheel door, select the proper blade and
cutting speeds. Always securely hold your material while cutting. Using either the miter
gauge supplied with the machine, or a clamping device.
Note: Never cut free hand
unless the table is locked in the fixed position, and you are contour cutting.
Lower the guide post to approx. 1/16” – 1/8” above the material to be cut.
Once the material is clamped for cutting you must set the counter weight to apply
cutting pressure. This is done by loosening the lock knob and sliding the weight to the
front or rear of the arm. Forward will reduce pressure but assist in the tables return.
Sliding this weight to the rear will increase the feeding pressure.
The blade speed must only be adjusted with the machine running. This can be selected
by moving the speed selector lever forward or backward to increase or decrease blade
speed. The scale on the speed selector bracket will indicate the blade speed in feet per
minute.
