RIPPING (FIG. Z, AA)
Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of
your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember
that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to
the table.
2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece about 1" away from the blade.
CAUTION: The workpiece must have a straight edge against
the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed.
4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up
to speed.
5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will
pass between the blade and the fence. (FIG. Z)
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward that section of the
workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence.

6. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your
thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), finish the
cut with a push stick.
7. The push stick (3) should always be used when the
ripped workpiece is 2" or wider (1). (FIG. AA)
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick
(3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear
of the table.
9. Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is
turning. Turn the switch OFR When the blade
completely stops raise the anti-kickback pawls on
each side of the splitter and slide the workpiece out.
Fig. AA
BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than 0°.
Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
side of the blade.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
Avoid injury from blade contact. Never make through-saw
cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.
,
2.
It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
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. BB)
Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of
your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember
that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
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. Move the workpiece to one inch distance
from the blade.
16
Keep both hands away from the blade and the path
of the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade to come up to
full speed.
5. Keep the workpiece against the face of the miter
gauge and flat against the face of the gauge and flat
against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece
through the blade (FIG. BB).
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.
Fig. BB
COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. DD)
This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a
bevel angle.
1. Set the miter gauge to the desired angle. Use only
the left side groove.
2. Set the blade bevel to the desired angle.
3. Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the
cutting operation.
Fig. DD
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. CC)
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except
the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
1. Adjust the blade to the desired angle, and tighten the
blade bevel lock knob.
2. Always work to the left side of the blade. The miter
gauge must be in the left side groove.
Fig. CC
MITERING (FIG. EE)
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except
the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.
1. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge.
2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade to prevent
the workpiece from moving.
