5 Operating Procedures
to the blade guard assembly and personal 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 molding 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 miter 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 miter gauge slot when bevel crosscutting so that the blade tilts away
from the miter 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 miter gauge, and is the same as crosscutting, except that the workpiece is also
cut at an angle other than 90° square to the fl at side of the wood (blade is at an angle).
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
This cut is performed with the miter gauge, and is a combination of miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut
is made at angle other than 90° to both the edge and fl at 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 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 the same as ripping, except that the blade is set at an angle other
than 90°.
