PREPARE YOUR SAW FOR USE
Solid, Level & Clearance
Place the saw on a solid and level working surface. If
using the saw on the optional stand (
),
place the stand on solid level ground or floor.
Make sure there is enough space around the saw so
that you can cut the workpiece without interference
(A).
Also, make sure the workpiece is not too large to
safely control as you make the cut. Make sure that you
are able to prevent the workpiece from overbalancing
as you pass the workpiece across the table and
complete the cut.
Leveling Foot
You can adjust the leveling foot, as needed, when
placing the saw on a surface. If mounting the saw on
the stand, screw the leveling foot all the way in
(towards the frame).
How to Transport & Store
To transport or store the saw:
•
Turn off the saw, and then lock out the power
switch (A) (
•
Place the rip fence in the storage position (B).
•
Remove the blade guard, and then disassemble
and place the parts in the accessory storage
compartment (
).
•
Fully lower the blade.
•
Wind the power cord (C).
•
Make sure the bevel control is locked (D).
•
Make sure the rip-width control is locked (E).
•
Use the carry handle (F) to carry the saw and the
frame rail on the opposite side, as needed. The saw
weighs 68 lbs (31 kg).
How to Place the Rip Fence
Use the rip fence for all rip cuts (
).
Move the rip fence from the storage location to a
working position:
1. Push the two latches (A) (one on either end of the
rip fence) to unlock. Lower the rip fence (B) away
from the rails.
To help reduce the risk of kickback, always use
the rip fence for rip cuts (with the grain). DO NOT
use the rip fence for cross cuts. Use the miter
gauge for cross cuts (
).
2. Flip the rip fence over (C), and then place on the
adjustable lugs (D) (see the next image), and then
push the latches to lock the rip fence (E). Make
sure the working face (F) is towards the blade.
