To prevent serious injury:
•
Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your
table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember
that even a careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
•
Keep both hands away from the blade and the
path of the blade.
•
Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards
during a cutting operation. This will cause
kickback and serious injury to the user can
occur.
. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in
the miter gauge groove on the table.
. Adjust the blade height so that it is /8 in. (3. mm)
higher than the top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Move the workpiece to a in. (5.4 mm)
distance from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade () to come up
to full speed. Never stand directly in line of the saw
blade path, always stand to the side of the blade that
you are cutting on.
5. Keep the workpiece () against the face of the miter
gauge (3) and flat against the table. Then slowly
push the workpiece through the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch Off, and carefully slide
the workpiece out when the blade has completely
stopped.
Always position the larger surface of the workpiece
on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel
crosscutting to avoid instability.

Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the

The bottom must be flat and smooth enough to rest
on the saw table without rocking.
