Making a cut
1. After adjusting the width and/or angle of the cut,
plug the Table Saw into a grounded 120V outlet.
2. Turn the Power Switch on.
WarninG!
Avoid bevel ripping on
bevelling side of the saw blade.
WarninG! tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
3. At the start of the cut, the left hand holds
the workpiece firmly on the Work Table
(and against the Fence, if used), and the right
hand, with the aid of a Push-stick, pushes
the workpiece toward the turning Saw Blade.
Keep both hands out of the path of the Saw Blade.
WarninG! tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury:
Throughout the cut, keep all body parts a
safe distance from the spinning Blade.
4. After the cut is under way, use the Push Stick
to continue guiding the workpiece forward.
Just before the cut is completed, move the left hand
safely farther away from the workpiece and the Saw
Blade. Continue pushing the workpiece into the Saw
Blade with the Push Stick until the cut is complete.
5. Once the cut is complete, continue to maintain
control of the workpiece. Turn the Switch off.
Then, wait until the Saw Blade completely stops
rotating before removing the workpiece.
6. To prevent accidents, turn off the Table Saw,
and unplug it after use. Clean, then cover and
store the Saw indoors out of children’s reach.
Making a non-through cut
1. Unplug saw and remove Blade Guard.
2. Place Riving Knife in Non-Through Cut position.
(See b. non-through cut on page 10).
3. Unlock Bevel Lock and set the bevel
angle to 0°, then secure Bevel Lock.
4. Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
5. Use either the Rip Fence or Miter Gauge,
depending on the shape and size of the wood.
6. Plug the saw back in and turn Power on.
7. Allow the blade to reach full speed before
moving the workpiece into the blade.
WarninG:
Always use Push Blocks, Push Sticks,
and/or Featherboards appropriately when making
non-through cuts to reduce the risk of serious injury.
8. After the cut has been made, turn saw off.
Allow the blade to come to a complete
stop before removing the workpiece.
9.
WarninG! tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury:
Reposition Riving Knife and reinstall Blade Guard
before doing any other type of cut and after use,
even if you intend to do more non-through cuts at
another time. The Blade Guard is a critical safety
component and must be used whenever practical.
Making and using a Jig
note:
A jig is used for all tapered cuts.
1. Use recessed screws to secure a handle
to a long, straight piece of wood.
2. Cut an L-shaped stop in the left side of the jig.
3. Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the jig and against the L-shaped stop.
4. Hold jig handle and use a push block
(sold separately) while making a tapered cut.
Making and using an auxiliary Fence
note:
An auxiliary fence is used for
rip cutting thin workpieces.
1.
Use a piece of wood that is 3/4″ thick,
3-1/2″ wide, and 18-1/2″ long.
2. Place the wood piece against left side of rip
fence and rest firmly on the saw table.
3. Secure wood piece to the fence
using 1-1/2″ wood screws.
