BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is a combination of ripping while having the
blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than "0".
WARNINGI

RIPPING SMALL PIECES
I_WARNINGI
Avoidinjuryfromthebladecontact.Never make
through saw cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped and your hand
cannot be safely put between the blade and the
rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move the
workpiece.
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Y)
WARNINGI
To preventseriousinjury:
Do notallowfamiliarityorfrequentuse ofyourtable
saw tocausecarelessmistakes.Remember that
even a carelessfractionofa second isenough to
cause a severe injury.
Keep both hands away from the blade and the path
of the blade.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in
the left side groove.
2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to
full speed.
5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter
gauge (3) and flat against the face of the gauge and
flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece
through the blade. (Fig. Y)
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.
USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(Fig. Y-l)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or
short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood,
drill two holes through it and attach it the miter gauge
face with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere
with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When
cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple support by
clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Z)
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting
except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and
tighten the blade bevel lock knob.
2.Always work to the left side of the blade. The
miter gauge (3) must be in the left side groove (2).
It cannot be used in the right side groove unless
the miter angle is very sharp, as it will interfere
with the blade auard.
2
COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA)
This sawing operation is combining a miter angle
with a bevel angle.
1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle. Use
only the left side groove (2).
2. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired angle then
lock in position.
3. Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the cutting
operation.
