voltage resultingin_oesof power and overheating.A
wire gauges'_e (A.W.G.)of at least 14 is recommended
for an extensioncord 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use thenext heavier gauge.The smallerthe
gauge number, the heavierthe cord.

a workplace through the blade instead of using your
hands. Size and shape canvary butthe pushstick must
always be narrowerthan the work,piece to prevent the
push stick from contacting th_ saw blade. When ripping
narrowstock,always usaapushstick,so yourhand does
not come closeto ths sew blade. Use afea_herbeard and
push blocks for non-throughouts.

OPERATINGCOMPONENTS
The upper portion of the blade projectsup throughthe
table and is surroundedby an insertcalled the throat
prate.The height of the blade is sat with a handwhsel on
the front of the cabinet.To accommodate wide panels,
the saw table has rails on each side. Detailedinstructions
are providedinthe Opera,on section of thisrnanualfor
the basic cuts: crosscuts, miter cuts, bevelcuts, and
compound ¢U_l
The slidingmitertableaseemblyisused forcrosscutting
operatfens.The miterfenceiseasilyadjustedtocutwood
at an angle by looseningthe adjustingclamp, setting the
fence to the miterscale, and retightening the clamp. The
stlding miter table, which restson a base mountedon the
rails,can be repositfehedalong the milsforwide work. _t
can be reversed so the projectingbase is in the back and
can be moved from the left side to the rightsideas need-
ed. With _a miter fence removed, the miter table offers

The rip fence is usedto positionwork for lengthwisecuts.
A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the
ripfence and the blade.
it is very importantto use the blade guardassemblyfor all
through-sewing operations.The blade guardassembly
includes:riving knife/spreader/splitter, anti-kickback
pawls, and plastic blade guard.

TO CHECK SL|D|NG M_'ER TABLE ASSEMB!3/'
The square relationshipbetween the blade and the miter
fence as it travels the entire distancefrom the frontto the
rear of the miter table base duringa cut is very important
for m_ng preciseand accurate cuts.The slidingmiter
table assemblyhas been presetat the factory. However,
misallgnment duringshippingor requirementsfor very
precise and accurate cuts may requirerce[ignment.
To avoid unnecessarysetups arid ad.iuatments,we
suggest that you check these setups carefullywith a fram-
ing square and make practicecuts inscrapwood before
making finishcuts ingood workpisces.
NOTE: Followthe generalrule of measuring twice and
cuttingonce.
Do not loosen any screws.Once screws have been loos-
ened, settings must be reset.
Two basic checks should be made before usingthe miter
table"(1) the miter base must be parallelto the blade as
the table slides fTomthe front to back, and (2)the miter
fence must be squareto the blade when set at exactly
zero (0") on the rafter table scats.
NOT_ The miter tablehas adjus_ant screws for squar-

TYPES OF CUTS
See Figure25.
There are six bas;c cuts: 1) the crosscut, 2) the rip cut, 3)
the miter cut, 4} the bevelcross cut, 5) the beveldp cut,
and 6) the compound(bevel}mitercut. Altother cuts are
combinationsof these basic six,Operating proceduresfor
making each kind of cut are given later inthissection.
_k WARNING: Alwaysmake surethe blade guard
and anti-kickback p_wIs are in place and work'rng
proparty when making these cuts to avoid possible
iniury.
Cross cuts are straight90° cuts rr_ds acrossthe grain of
the workpiaos.The wood is fed into the outat a 90° angle
to the blade, and the blade is vertical.
Rip cuts are made withthe grain of the wood. To avoid
kickbackwhile making a rip cut, make sure one side of
the wood rides firmly againstthe rip fence.
Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to ths
blade other than 90°. The blade is verticaLMiter cuts
tend to "creep" away from the miterfence during cutting.
This can be controlledby holdingthe workplace astutely
against the miter fence.
_" WARNING; Always use apushstick when cutting
small pieces of wood, and atsoto finishthe cut when
ripping a long narrowpiece of wood, to preventyour
hands from ge'_t.ingo{ossto the blade.
Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross
cuts are acrossthe wood grain,and bevelrip Gutsare with
the grain.The rip fence must always be on the left sideof
the blade for bevelrip cuts.
Compound (or bevel} miter cuts are made with an angled
blade on wood that is angled to the blade, Be thoroughly
familiarwith making crosscuts, rip cuts, bevelcuts, and
miter cuts beforetryinga compound mitercuL
CUTTING TIPS
Dado and rabbet cuts are non-throughcutswhich can

AWARNING= Do not use btadasrated lessthan the
speed of thistool Fa_urato heed thiswarning could
result inpersonal in}ury,
The kerr (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be
wider than the blade to avoid overheatingor binding.

FEATHERBOARD
A fsatherboard is a device usedto heJpcontroithe
workpisce by guidingit securelyagainst the table or
fence. Faatharboardsare especially usefulwhen ripping
small workpiecesand for completingnon-throughcuts.
The end is angled with a numberof short kerfsto givea
friction hold on the workplaceand locked in place on the
table witheC-clamp, Test that it can resistkickback.
AWARNING: Place the featharboardagainstthe
uncut portionof the wor_oieceto avoidkickback that
could cause seriouspersonal iniury.
HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD
See F/gum26.
The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw.
Select s solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in.
thick, 3-5/8 in. wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of
the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the
width to 30@and miter the other half of the same end
to 45°(see page 32 for information on miter cuts). Mark
the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in.
Drill a 3/8 in. hoteat the 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.
Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 31.
Set the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in.
"finger" to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to
the mark previouslymade st 6 in. Turn the saw OFF
and allow the blade to completety stop rotating before
removing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced
rips into the workpisce 1o allow approximately 1/4 in.
fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between the fingers.
HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD
See Figure 27.
Removethe adjustingclamp knob, bolt,and washerfrom
the miter fence holder.Place the boltthroughone of the
holes inthe featherboard. Positioningthe fsatherboard
will depend on the placement of the bolt and the position
of the slidingmTtartable on the mils. Placethe washer
