MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT
See Figure 52.
Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to
avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter gauge
or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious
injury.
 Install featherboard in the appropriate position for the cut
being made.
 When cutting a long or wide workpiece, place a support
the same height as the table surface in front of the saw,
behind the saw, and on the sides of the saw as needed.
WARNING:
Improper support of the workpiece on the side and/
or outfeed side of the saw could create unexpected
movement of the workpiece and/or the saw, resulting in
serious personal injury.
 Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence
or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to use either the
rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
 Make sure the workpiece does not touch the blade before
you turn on the saw.
 Turn the saw on.
 Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
OPERATION
SUPPORT
 Using a push stick and/or push blocks, slowly feed the
workpiece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of
the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance
of injury should kickback occur.
 Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use
the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure
the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with
both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If ripping
a narrow piece, use a push stick and/or push blocks to
move the piece through the cut and past the blade.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
