OPERATING COMPONENTS
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. Detailed instructions are provided in the Operation
section of this manual for 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, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard.
