STABILITY OF SAW
If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move
during certain Cutting operations such as cutting
extremely large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the
saw should be bolted down.
If you attach any kind of table extensions over 24 in.
wide, make sure they are supported underneath by a
sturdy brace attached to saw base or bench.

KI CKBACKS

sawblade and the rip fence or other fixed object, rises

Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replacing antikickback

Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback

The spreader
must be in alignment
with
the sawblade and the
pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Check their action before ripping.
NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.

NEVER
turn the saw "ON"
before clearing the

NEVER
place your face or body in line with the

NEVER
place your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
NEVER
reach in back of the cutting
tool with
either hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid
awkward operations
and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move
into a sawbtade or other cutting tool.
DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND"
always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to
position
and guide the work.
NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting or the
miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT use the rip
fence as a length stop.
Never hold onto or touch the "free end" of the
workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off, while
power is "ON"
and/or the sawblade is rotating.
Shut "OFF"

changing
the

or making adjustments.
Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
Plastic and composition
(like hardboard) materials
may be cut on your saw. However, since these are
usually
quite hard and slippery, the antikickback
pawls may not stop a kickback.
Therefore.
be especially
attentive
to following
proper
set-up and cutting procedures for ripping.
Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line
with a potential kickback.

N.

DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

O.

If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece,
turn saw "OFF",
remove the workpiece
from the
sawblade,
and check to see if the sawblade
is
parallel to the miter
gauge grooves and if the
spreader is in proper alignment with the sawblade.
If ripping at the time, check to see if the rip fence is
parallel

with

the sawblade.

functioning of the sawblade guard.
13; Make sure the top of the arbor or Cutting tool rotates
toward
you when standing in normal operating
position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting
tool as low as possible for the
operation being
performed. Keepall guards in place whenever possible.
14. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for
an operating speed less than 3450 RPM. Never use a
cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for
which the saw was designed. For greatest safety and
efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed,since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
15. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER
Operate the saw unlessthe proper insert is installed.
16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear
of the saw. An accident and seriousinjury could result.

Safety is a combination of operator common senseand
alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING
is known as cutting wood
across
the grain, at 90 °, or square with both the edge and the flat
side of the wood. This is done with miter gauge set at "0".
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking, in some cases where extreme
accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example,
make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square, or protractor.
If necessary,the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inacurracy.
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.
For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always
"favor" one side of the groove in the table. In other words,
don't move the miter gauge from side to side while cutting,
but keep one side of the bar riding against one side of the
groove.
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter
gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) should be
used on the miter gaugefor greater accuracy.

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line

PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE.
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gaugegroove,
the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (This is known as
"HEELING").
To check for parallelism:

1. Raise blade all the way up... raise blade guard.
2. Mark as "x" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent) to
