Press the switch down to turn the saw OFF. When not in use, the saw should be turned off and the power switch locked out to prevent unauthorized use. To lock out power switch, use a standard long shackle lock, with a shackle posts no larger than 9/32-inch (7mm) thick. See Figure 33.
MAKING CUTS or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with the saw blade. Check alignment after each change of beveling angle. Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury. • Never touch the free end of the workpiece or a free piece that is cut off, while the power is on and/or the saw blade is rotating. Blade contact or binding may occur, resulting in a thrown workpiece.
MAKING CUTS RIP CUTS 1. Remove miter gauge. 2. Make sure bevel angle is set to 0º. 3. Set blade to correct height for workpiece. 4. Install rip fence and lock it down parallel with and at desired distance from blade. 12. Use the push stick and any other cutting aids, as needed, to hold the workpiece against the table and fence, and push the workpiece past the blade. A push stick is included with this saw, and instructions are included to make additional push sticks and other cutting aids. 5.
MAKING CUTS (CONTINUED) CROSSCUTTING • NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting, unless you are using the fence as described on page 28 Figure 46 of this manual. • The cut-off piece must never be confined in any through-sawing (cutting completely through the workpiece) operation—to prevent pinching blade which may result in a thrown workpiece and possibly injury. • When using a block as a cut-off gauge, the block must be at least 3/4-inch (19mm) thick.
MAKING CUTS (CONTINUED) COMPOUND MITER CUTS This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. Refer to Figure 40 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. 5 LARGE PANEL CUTS 9 Place workpiece supports at the same height as the saw table behind saw to support the cut workpiece, and alongside (s) of saw, as needed.
MAKING CUTS MAKING A DADO CUT Dado blades are stacked blades that can be used when making non-through cuts including through cut slots. Dado blades require a special throat plate. Dado blades and throat plates are all sold separately. • • • • • • Carefully follow the instructions accompanying the dado blade for proper installation, set up and operation. Additional guides can be found in woodworking and carpentry websites and publications. Do not attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 13/16 inch (20.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES (CONTINUED) AUXILIARY MITER GAUGE FACING An auxiliary miter gauge facing is used to increase the surface area of the miter gauge face. If desired, you can fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary wood facing that should be at least 1-inch (25mm) higher than the maximum depth of cut, and at least as wide as the miter gauge.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES (CONTINUED) FEATHERBOARD Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in contact with the fence and table (Figure 45), and help prevent kickback. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a series of narrow slots to give a friction hold on the workpiece, It is locked in place on the table or fence with a c-clamp.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS a SCREW UNDER THROAT PLATE FIGURE 47 LEVELING THE THROAT PLATE The front, rear and sides of the throat plate must be level with the surface of the table. There are four screws pre-assembled to the table that are used to level the throat plate. If the throat plate is not flush with the surface of the table, adjust these screws to ensure the entire throat plate is flush with the table. They can be accessed and adjusted without removing the throat plate.
