nOTE: This fence will allow the guard to remain on the saw when completing narrow ripping.
This fence will provide ample space for a push stick.
Fine Adjustment Knob (Fig. A)
The fine adjustment knob
4
allows smaller adjustments when setting the fence. Before adjusting,
be sure the rail lock lever is in its up or unlockedposition.
Rip Scale Pointer
The rip scale pointer will need to be adjusted for proper performance of the rip fence if the user
switches between thick and thin kerf blades. The rip scale pointer only reads correctly for position
1 [0 to 24" (610mm)], however for position 1 with narrow rip fence in use add 2" (51 mm). See
Adjusting the Rip Scale underAssembly.
Through-Cutting Operations
WARNING: Use blade guard assembly for all through-cutting operations.
Ripping (Fig. R)
WARNING: Never touch the “free end” of the workpiece or a “free piece” that is cut off, while
the power is ON and/or the saw blade is rotating. Piece may contact the blade resulting in a
thrown workpiece and possibleinjury.
WARNING: A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations to prevent loss of
control and personal injury. NEVER perform a ripping operation freehand. ALWAYS lock the
fence to therail.
WARNING: When bevel ripping and whenever possible, place the fence on the side of the
blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence andhands.
WARNING: Keep hands clear of theblade.
WARNING: Use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there are 2–6" (51–152mm) between
the fence and the blade. Use a narrow ripping fence feature and push block to feed the
workpiece if there are 2" (51mm) or narrower between the fence and theblade.
1. Lock the rip fence by pressing the rail lock lever down. Remove the mitergauge.
2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" (3.2mm) higher than the top of theworkpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece about 1"
(25.4mm) away from theblade.
Fig. R
WARNING: The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be
warped, twisted or bowed. Keep both hands away from the blade and away from the path of
the blade. See proper hand position in FigureR.
4. Turn the saw on and allow the blade to come up to speed. Both hands can be used in starting
the cut. When there are approximately 12" (305mm) left to be ripped, use only one hand,
with your thumb pushing the material, your index and second finger holding the material
down and your other fingers hooked over the fence. Always keep your thumb along side your
first two fingers and near thefence.
5. Keeping the workpiece against the table and fence, slowly feed the workpiece rearward all
the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the workpiece until it is clear of the blade
guard assembly and it falls off the rear of the table. Do not overload themotor.
6. Never try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the
blade to stop, raise the anti-kickback pawls on each side of the riving knife if necessary and
slide the workpieceout.
7. When sawing a long piece of material or a panel, always use a work support. A sawhorse,
rollers, or out feed assembly provides adequate support for this purpose. The work support
must be at the same height or slightly lower than the sawtable.
WARNING: Never push or hold onto the free or cut-off side of the workpiece if it is between
the blade and thefence.
Ripping small Pieces (Fig. A)
It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to the blade. Instead, rip a
larger piece to obtain the desired piece. When a small width is to be ripped and the hand cannot
be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks. A pattern is
included at the end of this manual to make push sticks. A push stick
20
is included with this saw,
attached to the rip fence. Use the push stick(s) to hold the workpiece against the table and fence,
and push the workpiece fully past theblade. The narrow ripping fence feature on the table saw
may be used for some narrow rip cuts. You may also use an auxiliary narrow rip fence. Instructions
for making an auxiliary fence are provided in the back of themanual.
Bevel Ripping (Fig. s)
This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than zero
degrees. For proper hand position, Refer to FigureS.
Fig. S
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw,
always inspect the guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with
saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle. If any dragging or binding
of the material is encountered as it reaches the riving knife, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source. Ensure proper riving knife alignment before attempting
anothercut.
Crosscutting (Fig. T)
WARNING: NEVER use rip fence in combination with mitergauge.
WARNING: NEVER touch the “free end” of the workpiece or a “free piece” that is cut off, while
the power is ON and/or the saw blade is rotating. Piece may contact the blade resulting in a
thrown workpiece and possibleinjury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop
whencrosscutting.
WARNING: NEVER use a length stop on the free end of the workpiece when crosscutting. In
short, the cut-off piece in any through-cutting (cutting completely through the workpiece)
operation must never be confined — it must be allowed to move away from saw blade to
prevent contact with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possiblyinjury.
WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the blade guard
assembly against the workpiece resulting in damage to saw and possibleinjury.
WARNING: When using a block as a cut-off gauge, the block must be at least 3/4" (19mm)
thick and is very important that the rear end of the block be positioned so the workpiece
is clear of the block before it enters the blade to prevent contact with blade resulting in a
thrown workpiece and possiblyinjury.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the desiredslot.
2. Adjust the blade height so that the blade is about 1/8" (3.2mm) higher than the top of
theworkpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
10
with the path of the blade in line with
the desired cut location. Keep the workpiece an inch or so in front of the blade. KEEP BOTH
HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE AND THE PATH OF THE BLADE (Fig. T).
4. Start the saw motor and allow the blade to come up tospeed.
5. While using both hands to keep the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge, and
holding the workpiece flat against the table, slowly push the workpiece through theblade.
6. Never try to pull the workpiece with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the blade to
stop, and carefully slide the workpieceout.
WARNING: Never touch or hold onto the free or cut-off end of theworkpiece.
Bevel Crosscutting
This operation is the same as crosscutting except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other
than 0°.
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw,
always inspect the guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with
saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle. If any dragging or binding
of the material is encountered as it reaches the riving knife, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source. Ensure proper riving knife alignment before attempting
anothercut.
Mitering (Fig. T)
WARNING: Miter angles greater than 45˚ may force the blade guard assembly into the saw
blade causing damage to the blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting
the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If
the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard
assembly, not touching the blade, before starting themotor.
WARNING: Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift the blade guard
assembly properly. Feed the workpiece slowly to start the cut. If the blade guard assembly
contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not touching the
blade, before starting themotor.
This operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than
0°. Hold the workpiece FIRMLY against the miter gauge
10
and feed the workpiece slowly into
the blade (to prevent the workpiece from moving).
Miter gauge Operation
To set your miter gauge:
1. Loosen the miter gauge lockknob
51
.
2. Move the miter gauge to the desiredangle.
3. Tighten the miter gauge lockknob.
