FEATURES

OPERATING COMPONENTS

The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table 
and is surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The 
height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of 
the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels, the saw table 
has rails on each side. Detailed instructions are provided in 
the 

Operation

 section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross 

cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.
The sliding miter table assembly is used for cross cutting 
operations. The miter fence is easily adjusted to cut wood 
at an angle by loosening the adjusting clamp, setting the 
fence to the miter scale, and retightening the clamp. With 
the miter fence removed, the miter table offers additional 
support for other operations such as ripping.
The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts. 
A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip 
fence and the blade.
It  is  very  important  to  use  the  blade  guard  assembly  for 
all through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly  
includes: riving knife/spreader/splitter, anti-kickback pawls, 
and plastic blade guard.
