USING THE MITER GAUGE
FOR CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL
CUTTING, COMPOUND MITER CUTTING,
DADOING and when RABBETTING AND
MOLDING across the end of a narrow workpiece,
THE MITER GAUGE IS USED.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 2, 3, and 4.
1 Never make these cuts freehand (without using
the miter gauge or other auxiliary devices)
because the blade could bind in the cut and
cause a KICKBACK or cause your fingers or
hand to slip into the blade.
2. Always lock the miter gauge securely when in
use.
3. Remove rip fence from table.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all
"thru-sawing" operations (when sawblade cuts
entirely through the thickness of the
workpiece.) Replace guard IMMEDIATELYafter
completion of dadoing, molding or rabbeting
cuts.
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above
top of workpiece. Additional bade exposure
would increase the hazard potential.
6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case
of a THROWBACK (Small cut-off piece caught
by the back of the blade and thrown toward the
operator). Stand to either side of the blade.
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of
the path of the blade.
8. If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the
blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut.., to support long
or heavy workp_eces...to remove cut-off
pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER
REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material
from the table. REMOVE them by pushing them
OFF the table with a long stick. Otherwise they
could be thrown back at you by the rear of the
blade.
11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become TRAPPED inside the blade
guard while the saw is RUNNING. THIS COULD
ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause a
KICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped
turning, lift the guard and remove the piece.
