TABLE
See Figure 34.
The mitr
e
table slides to let the operator slide the workpiece
across the saw. A mitr
e
slide lock is mounted on the front of
the mitr
e
table to lock it in place. The mitr
e
slide lock is placed
in a slot on the base to align the mitr
e
table with the front edge
of the saw table. The sliding mitr
e
table should be locked for
any cut in which the operator prefers a fixed table.
■
To lock the mitr
e
table with the base projecting to the front,
place mitr
e
slide lock in the back slot on the base.

WARNING:
Never stand directly in line with the blade or allow hands
to come closer than
76
mm
to the blade. Do not reach
over or across the blade. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
MAKING CUTS
The blade provided with your saw is a high-quality combina-
tion blade suitable for ripping and crosscut operations.
WARNING:
All blades must be rated for at least 5,500 RPM to prevent
possible injury.
TO MAKE A STRAIGHT CROSS CUT
See Figure 35.
WARNING:
Never use rip fence as cutoff gauge when crosscutting.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid serious personal injury
.
It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.
■
Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
■
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
■
Set the mitr
e
fence to 90˚ with the quick-stop or the mitr
e
scale.
■
Make sure the mitr
e
fence won't touch the blade while
feeding the wood. Make a trial pass of the mitr
e
table. The
mitr
e
fence should not contact the blade. Loosen the
adjusting clamp to move the fence if needed.
■
Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind the
saw for the cut work.
