MAKING CUTS

WARNING:
Before making any cuts, make sure that the table saw
stand is on a firm level surface where there is plenty of
room to handle and properly support the table saw and
the workpiece. If a suitable location can not be found,
then the saw should not be used. Operating the saw in a
location that does not provide adequate space and stable
footing for the table saw stand could create a tipping
hazard which could result in serious personal injury.
This table saw can perform a variety of cuts that are not all
mentioned in this manual. DO NOT attempt to make any cuts
not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar with the
proper procedures and necessary accessories. Your local
library has many books on table saw usage and specialized
woodworking procedures for your reference.
The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combination
blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations. Carefully
check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to
assure proper clearance before connecting saw to power
source. Stand slightly to the side of the blade path to reduce
the chance of injury should kickback occur.
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
Use the miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel, and
compound miter cuts. To secure the angle, lock the miter
gauge in place by twisting the lock knob clockwise. Always
tighten the lock knob securely in place before use.
NOTE: It is recommended that you place the piece to be
saved on the left side of the blade and that you make a test
cut on scrap wood first.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figures 38 - 39.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid serious possible injury.
WARNING:
Using the rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting
will result in kickback which can cause serious personal
injury.
