KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW
See Figures 2 - 3.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as
well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before
use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating
features and safety rules.
ACCESSORY STORAGE
- Convenient storage areas for
the push stick, riving knife, wrenches, blade guard, miter
gauge, and rip fence are located underneath the saw table.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS
- Kickback is a hazard in which
the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth
on the removable anti-kickback pawls point away from the
workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled back toward
the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or
reduce the possibility of kickback. The anti-kickback pawls
may be bypassed.
BEVEL LOCKING LEVER
- This lever, placed just under the
saw table surface on the front of the saw, locks the angle
setting of the blade.
BEVEL SCALE
- The easy-to-read scale on the front of the
saw shows the exact blade angle.
BLADE
- For maximum performance, it is recommended
that you use the 8-1/4 in. carbide tipped combination blade
provided with the saw. The blade is raised and lowered with
the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are
locked with the bevel locking lever. Additional blade styles
of the same high quality are available for specific operations
such as ripping. Your local dealer can provide you with
complete information.
Blade kerf width must be within the limits stamped on the
riving knife.
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
BLADE GUARD
- Always keep the removable blade guard
down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.
DUST CHUTE
- The built-in dust chute makes it easy to
dispose of sawdust. A vacuum hose may be attached to
the dust chute.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
- An electric brake has been provided
to stop blade rotation after the saw is turned off.
