WARNING!
When using a featherboard, it must be mounted in
front of the blade and used only against the uncut portion of the
workpiece to avoid a kickback that could result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Do not locate the featherboard to the rear of the
workpiece. If positioned improperly, kickback can result from the
featherboard pinching the workpiece and binding the blade in the
saw kerf. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal
injury.
AUXILIARY FENCE
An auxiliary fence is a device used to close the gap between rip
fence and working table. ALWAYS make and use an auxiliary fence
when ripping material 1/8" (3 mm) or thinner to prevent stock from
slipping under fence.
HOW TO MAKE AND ATTACH AN AUXILIARY FENCE (FOR RIP
CUTTING THIN WORKPIECE)
Refer to Figure 33
• Select a piece of wood 3/4" (2 cm) thick, 2 3/8" (6 cm) wide, wide
and as long as the rip fence.
• Drill a 1/4" (6 mm) hole, 1" (25 mm) from each end and 1 1/8" (28.5
mm) from bottom of the rip fence.
• Drill a 1/4" (6 mm) hole in the middle rip fence 1/2" (12.5 mm)
from bottom of rip fence.
• Attach auxiliary fence (1) to the rip fence (2); place wood against
rip fence and firmly on the working table.
• From back side of rip fence, secure wood to fence using wood
screws (3) (not included).
THROUGH CUTS
WARNING!
Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback
pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts
to avoid possible injury.
WARNING!
Use extra caution when cutting wood products having
slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be
effective.
WARNING!
DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this
tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
WARNING!
To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece
is securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the
workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge during any mitre cut.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt compound mitre cuts, with blade
bevelled and mitre fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar
with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here.
WARNING!
Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting
will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury.
WARNING!
NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge
or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Never make through cuts without the blade guard in
place. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious
personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
Dado and rabbet cuts are non-through cuts which can be either rip
cuts or cross cuts. Carefully read and understand all sections of this
operator’s manual before attempting any operation.
• The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be wider
than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make allowance
for the kerf when measuring wood.
• Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the measuring
line.
• Cut the wood with the finish side up.
• Knock out loose knots before making cut.
• Always provide proper support for wood as it comes out of saw.
WARNING!
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
MAKING CUTS
WARNING!
Before making any cuts, make sure that the table saw
stand is on a firm, level surface where there is plenty of room to
handle and properly support the table saw and the workpiece. If a
suitable location can not be found, then the saw should not be
used. Operating the saw in a location that does not provide
adequate space and stable footing for the table saw stand could
create a tipping hazard which could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered in this
manual, and this tool is not permitted for making cuts for other
commercial purposes. Failure to heed this warning will result in
serious personal injury.
• The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combination
blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations. Carefully
check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to assure
proper clearance before connecting saw to power source. Stand
slightly to the side of the blade path to reduce the chance of
injury should kickback occur.
WARNING!
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
•
Use the mitre gauge when making cross, mitre, bevel, and
compound mitre cuts. To secure the angle, lock the mitre gauge
in place by twisting the lock knob clockwise. Always tighten the
lock knob securely in place before use.
WARNING!
Never use the fence and mitre gauge together. This
may cause a kickback condition and injury to the operator.
CAUTION!
It is recommended that you place the piece to be saved
on the left side of the blade and that you make a test cut on scrap
