CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES

CUT OFF GAUGE

When crosscutting a number of pieces to the same length,
you can clamp a block of wood (A) (Fig. 31) to the fence
and use it as a cut-off gauge. The block (A) must be at
least / -inch (19 mm) thick to prevent the cut off piece

from binding between the blade and the fence. Once the
cut-off length is determined, lock the fence and use the
miter gauge to feed the workpiece into the blade.
Always position the entire cut-off gauge in
front of the saw blade.

JIGS

Jigs may be created with a variety of special set-ups to
control particular workpiece shapes for particular cuts.
Guidance on how to make specialized jigs can be found
in woodworking and carpentry websites and publications.

LEVELING THE THROAT PLATE

Check that the throat plate is properly adjusted to the
table. Front of throat plate should be
the surface of the table and rear of the throat plate should
be level or slightly above the surface of the table (Fig. 13).
There are four Phillips set screws pre-assembled to the
table that are used to level the throat plate
If the throat plate is not flush with the surface of the table,
adjust these screws to ensure the entire throat plate is
flush with the table (Fig. 14).

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CREATE OR USE
A JIG UNLESS YOU ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR
WITH TABLE SAW SAFETY. DO NOT USE ANY JIG THAT
COULD RESULT IN PINCHING A KERF OR JAMMING
THE WORKPIECE BETWEEN THE JIG AND THE BLADE.
INCORRECT SETUPS MAY CAUSE KICKBACK WHICH
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

CHANGING THE BEVEL

1. Unlock the bevel lock lever by pulling it into the up
(horizontal) position.
2. Holding the height adjustment wheel, slide the bevel
indicator to the desired angle.
3. When the blade is at desired angle, lock the bevel
lock lever by pushing it down (vertical).
NOTE: For lock and unlock positions see Fig. 33.
