MAKING CUTS
COMPOUND MITER CUTS
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Refer to Figure 48 and follow the instructions for both bevel
crosscutting and mitering. Remember to use the right miter slot on
the right side of the blade for all bevel cuts.
LARGE PANEL CUTS
Place workpiece supports at table height behind and/or to the
side of saw to support workpiece as needed. Depending on shape
of panel, use rip fence or miter gauge to control workpiece. If a
workpiece is too large to use either a rip fence or a miter gauge, it
is too large for this saw.
FIGURE 48
NON-THROUGH CUTS
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves, and
rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made using a standard blade
having a diameter of 10 inches. Non-through cuts are the only type
of cuts that should be made without the blade guard assembly
installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon
completion of this type of cut.
• Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and
return riving knife to through cut position. Install anti-kickback
pawls and blade guard.
• Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any specialized
blades for proper installation, set up and operation.
• When making non-through cuts, follow all applicable warnings
and instructions listed below in addition to those listed above
for the relevant through cut.
• When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by
workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to exposed blade at
start and finish of every cut.
• Never feed wood with hands when making any non-through
cuts such as rabbets or grooves. ALWAYS use miter
gauge, push blocks or push sticks, and featherboards where
appropriate.
• In addition to this section, read the appropriate section which
describes the type of through cut. For example, if your non-
through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the
section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.
MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
1.
Unplug saw.
2.
Unlock bevel lock.
3.
Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
4.
Lock bevel lock.
5.
Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
6.
Place riving knife in “lowered” position. See RIVING
KNIFE POSITION AND ALIGNMENT Section on
page 26.
7.
Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
8.
Depending on shape and size of wood, use either rip fence
or miter gauge.
9.
Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.
10.
Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece
into blade.
11.
Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards
when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk of
serious injury.
12.
When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to
a complete stop before removing workpiece.
13.
Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and
return riving knife to through cut position. Install anti-
kickback pawls and blade guard.
Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and
reinstall riving knife in raised position. Install anti-kickback pawls
and blade guard.
