OPERATING COMPONENTS
A
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the
table and is surrounded by an insert called the throat
plate. The height of the blade is set with a handwheel on
the front of the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels,
the saw table has rails on each side. Detailed instructions
are provided in the Operation section of this manual for
,#k
the basic cuts: cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and
compound cuts.
The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts.
A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the
rip fence and the blade.
It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for all ,_
through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly
includes: riving knife/spreader/splitter, anti-kickback
pawls, and blade guard.
