For safety reasons, verify that the operator has read the section entitled general
safety guidelines for the table saw before operating this saw. Verify the following
before every time the table saw is used:
> The blade is tight and can run freely.
> The blade bevel locking handle is locked.
> If rip cutting, the rip fence locking handle is tight, and the fence is parallel to the
mitre gauge groove and the blade.
> If cross cutting, the mitre gauge locking handle is tight.
> The blade guard and riving knife are in place, and are working properly.
> The dust extraction hose is fixed in the slot of the hose hold.
> Safety glasses are worn.
Failure to adhere to these safety rules will greatly increase the chances of injury.
Before using the table saw, polish the tabletop with an automotive polishing wax
in order to keep it clean, and to make it easier to slide the work piece.
There are two basic types of table saw cuts: rip cutting and cross cutting. Rip cutting
refers to cutting along the length of the grain and the work piece. Cross cutting
refers to either cutting across the width or across the grain of the work piece. This
distinction may be hard to make with man made materials. Therefore, cutting a
piece of material to a different width is rip cutting, and cutting across the
short dimension is cross cutting.
