SPECIAL CUTTING TECHNIQUES
Do not attempt to perform
cuts not covered in this
manual un less you are thoroughly familiar
with procedures and fixtur ing. This table saw
is a highly versatile tool, ca pa ble of performing a
wide range of highly specialized cuts that cannot
be covered in this manual.
See your local library for books on woodworking
techniques, such as: The Complete Book of
Stationary Power Tool Techniques by R.J. De
Christoforo or Table Saw Techniques by R.
Cliffe.
DUST EXTRACTION
Dust Port
The dust port on the SKILSAW SPT99 Table
Saw is compatible with any vacuum or vacuum
accessory with a 2-1/4 inch outside diameter.
For vacuums with a different outside diameter,
an adapter (not included) must be used.
Dust Elbow
To better contain dust when cutting without
using an attached vacuum, the SKILSAW
SPT99 Table Saw comes with a dust elbow. Re-
move the dust elbow from the storage position
and insert it into the dust port. If further contain-
ment of the dust is required, place a five gallon
bucket approximately 1 foot behind the saw,
under the dust port (Fig. 64). The majority of the
dust will be directed out the dust elbow and into
the bucket. When done cutting, return the dust
elbow to its storage position.
