OVERVIEW
The upper position of the blade projects up through the table,
surrounded by an insert called the thru plate. The height of
the blade is set with a hand wheel on the front of the cabinet.
To accommodate wide panels, the tabletop has extensions on
each side. Detailed instructions are provided in the Operation
section of this manual for the basic cuts: Cross cuts, miter
cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.
For cuts with the blade straight up and cutting across the
grain (cross cuts or miter cuts), use the miter gage to set the
angle and push the wood into the blade. To cut with the blade
straight up, along the grain of the wood (rip cuts), use the
rip fence to guide the wood Push smaller pieces with a push
block or push stick. To tilt the blade for a bevel cut, use the
hand wheel on the side of the cabinet. A bevel scale on the
front of the cabinet shows the blades angle. Use the miter
gauge with a bevel cross cut (compound cut) and the rip fence
with a bevel rip cut. Other cuts require special attachments,
which have detailed instruction to reduce risk of injury and
ensure the best performance from your new saw.
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with
all operating features and safety requirements of your table
saw. The saw’s features are described below .
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS – Kickback is a hazard in which the
workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The toothed
pawls are designed to snag the workpiece to prevent or
reduce injury should kickback occur.
BEVEL HANDWHEEL – This hand wheel on the right side of
the cabinet tilts the blade for a bevel cut.
BEVEL SCALE – The easy–to–read scale on the front of the
work stand shows the exact blade angle.
