OPERATION
injury. Before starting the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece
into the blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade,
place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not touching the blade,
before starting the motor.
WARNING:
Certain workpiece shapes, such as mouldings, may not lift the blade
guard assembly properly. With the power off, feed the workpiece slowly into the
blade guard area and until the workpiece touches the blade. If the blade guard
assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly,
not touching the blade, before starting the motor.
This cut is performed with the mitre gauge, and is used for cutting at an angle other
than 90° square with the edge of the workpiece.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
WARNING:
When possible, use the right mitre gauge slot when bevel crosscutting
so that the blade tilts away from the mitre gauge and your hands.
WARNING:
Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against
the workpiece. This cut is performed with the mitre gauge, and is the same as
crosscutting, except that the workpiece is also cut at an angle other than 90° square
to the flat side of the wood (blade is at an angle).
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
This cut is performed with the mitre gauge, and is a combination of mitre cutting
and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at angle other than 90° to both the edge
and flat side of wood.
RIPPING
WARNING:
When bevel ripping and whenever possible, place the fence on the
side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep
hands clear of the blade and use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there is
less than 6” between the fence and the blade.
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to cut the workpiece lengthwise
with the grain. Position the fence to the desired width of rip and lock in place.
When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a work support.
BEVEL RIPPING
WARNING:
Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the
saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment
and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
WARNING:
When possible, place the fence on the right side of the blade so that
the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep your hands clear of the
blade and use a pushstick to feed the workpiece if there is less than 6” between
the fence and the blade.
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is the same as ripping, except that the
blade is set at an angle other than 90°.
RESAWING
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to rip a workpiece through its
thickness rather than across its flat width. Do not attempt to resaw bowed
or warped material.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to remove blade guard and use work supports as well
as push blocks when performing this operation.
WARNING:
Install blade guard immediately upon completion of resawing operation.
PLOUGHING
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to make a groove lengthwise
with the grain of the workpiece. Use proper hold downs and feed devices.
RABBETING
This cut is performed with either the mitre gauge or rip fence. Rabbeting is used to
