    SAW MOUNTED TO WORK SURFACE (FIG. B)1.  If the leg set will not be used, the saw must be properly secured to a sturdy workbench using the four mounting holes at the base of the saw.2.  The surface of the table where the saw is to be    mounted must have a hole large enough to facilitate    sawdust fall-through and removal.3.  Square the saw on the mounting surface and mark    the location of the four 3/8” (9.5mm) mounting holes (1).4.  Drill 3/8” (9.5mm) hole into the mounting surface.5.  Mark an 11” (279.4mm) square (2) centered between the four mounting holes (1).6.  Cut out and remove the square.7.  This opening will allow sawdust to fall through the saw base.8.  Place the saw on the work surface, and align the    mounting holes of the saw with those drilled through    the surface.9.  Fasten the saw to the work surface.
    Do not operate this machine on the floor. This is very dangerous and may cause serious injury.
    Fig. B
    Failure to provide the sawdust fall-through hole will cause sawdust to build up in the motor area, which may result in fire or cause motor damage.
    KEEPING THE AREA CLEAN1.  Sawdust and wood chips that fall from under the saw    
    will accumulate on the floor.2.  Make it a practice to pick up and discard this dust    when you have completed cutting.
    ADJUSTING THE CUTTING LINE INDICATOR (FIG. C)1.  Take off the cover (1) by loosening screws (2).2.  Adjust the pointer (3) to align to the blade.3.  Mount the cover on the table to fix the pointer.NOTE: The pointer was set up to align to the right side of the blade when packing.

    your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), 
    finish the cut with a push stick. To make an additional 
    push stick, use the pattern on page 23.
    8.  The push stick (3) should always be used. (Fig. Z)
    9.  Continue pushing the workpiece with the push 
    stick (3) until it passes through the blade guard and 
    clears the rear of the table.
    10.Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning. 
    Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely 
    stops, you can then remove the workpiece.

    CUTTING OPERATIONS
    There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and
    crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the
    grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
    across the width or across the grain of the workpiece.
    Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely
    freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
    crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
    Before using the saw each and every time, check 
    the following:
    1.   The blade is tightened to the arbor.
    2.   The bevel angle lock knob is tight.
    3.   If ripping, the fence is locked into position & is 
    parallel to the miter gauge groove.
    4.   The blade guard is in place and working properly.
    5.   Safety glasses are being worn.
    The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and
    those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly
    increase the likelihood of injury. 
    RIPPING (FIG. Y, Z)
    To prevent serious injury:
    • Never use a miter gauge when ripping.
    •    Never use more than one rip fence during a single 
    cut.
    • Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table 
    saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that 
    even a careless fraction of a second is enough to 
    cause a severe injury.
    • Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from 
    the path of the blade.
    • The workpiece must have a straight edge against the 
    fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed 
    when ripping.
    1.  Remove the miter gauge and store it in the “storage” 
    compartment in the base of the saw.
    2.  Secure the rip fence to the table.
    3.  Raise the blade so it is about 1/8” higher than the top 
    of the workpiece.
    4.  Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the 
    fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.
    5.  Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come to 
    full speed.
    6.  Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing 
    forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will 
    pass between the blade and the fence. (Fig. Y)

    cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed 
    support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

    BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB) 0°~45° BLADE 
    BEVEL & 90° MITER ANGLE
    This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting 
    except the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.
    Always work to the right side of the blade during 
    this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right 
    side groove because the bevel angle may cause the 
    blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the 
    left side groove. 
    1.  Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten 
    the blade bevel lock knob.
    2.  Tighten miter lock handle (2) at 90°.
    3.  Hold workpiece (3) firmly against the face of the miter 
    gauge throughout the cutting operation.

    COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. CC) 
    0°~45° BLADE BEVEL & 0°~45° MITER ANGLE
    This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a 
    bevel angle. 
    Always work to the right side of the blade during 
    this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right 
    BEVEL RIPPING
    This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
    angle is set to an angle other than “0°”.
    Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
    side of the blade.
    RIPPING SMALL PIECES
    Avoid injury from the blade contact. Never make through 
    saw cuts narrower than 1/2” (12.7mm) wide.
    1.  It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
         piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
    2.  When a small width is to be ripped and your hand
         cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip
         fence, use one or more push sticks to move the
         workpiece.
    CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA)
    To prevent serious injury:
    •  Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table 
    saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that 
    even a careless fraction of a second is enough to 
    cause a severe injury.
    •  Keep both hands away from the blade and the path 
    of the blade.
    1.  Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in 
    the left side groove.
    2.  Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8” (3.18mm) higher 
    than the top of the workpiece.
    3.  Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
         with the blade path in line with the desired cut
         location. Move the workpiece to one inch distance
         from the blade.
    4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to
         full speed.
    5.  Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter
         gauge (3) and flat against the face of the gauge and
         flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece
         through the blade. (Fig. Y)
    6.  Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
         turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
         workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.
    USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE 
    (FIG. AA-1)
    Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
    auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or
    short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, 
    drill two holes through it and attach it to the miter gauge 
    with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere

    USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. EE)
    When performing some special cutting operations, add 
    a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).
    1 . Use a smooth straight 3/4” (19 mm) thick wood 
         board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.
    2.  Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw
         (3) through the hole in the fence. A wood fence  
         should be used when ripping material such as thin  
         paneling to prevent the material from catching 
         between the bottom of the fence and the table.
