    AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward on the 
    section of the workpiece that passes between the 
    blade and the fence. Never perform any freehand 
    operations. 
    Fig. AA 
    NOTE: Always use a push stick. When width of the rip 
    is narrower than 2 in the push stick cannot be used 
    because the guard will interfere…therefore, use the 
    auxiliary fence so the push stick can be used as shown 
    on page 24.
    7.  Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of 
    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 24.
    8.  The push stick (3) should always be used. (Fig. BB)
    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.
    Fig. BB
    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. AA, BB)
    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 in 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. AA)

    USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE 
    (Fig. DD)   
    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 
    with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When 
    cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed 
    support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

    BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. EE)
    This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting 
    except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
    Always work to the right side of the blade during 
    this type of cut. The miter gauge (1) must be in the 
    right side groove (2) 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 (3) to the desired angle, and tighten 
    the blade bevel lock knob.
    2.  Tighten miter lock handle at 90°.
    3.  Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the miter 
    gauge (1) throughout the cutting operation. 
         NOTE: When tilting the blade to 45°, the miter gauge 
    handle will hit the blade guard.

    BEVEL RIPPING
    This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel 
    angle is set to an angle other than 0º.
    RIPPING SMALL PIECES
    To avoid injury from the blade contact, never make cuts 
    narrower than 1/2 in 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 safely pass between the blade and the rip 
    fence, use one or more push sticks to move the 
    workpiece. Always use a push stick during ripping 
    operations.
    CROSSCUTTING (FIG. CC)
    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.
    •  Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards 
    during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback 
    and serious injury to the user can occur.
    1.  Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in a 
    miter gauge groove on the table.
    2.  Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. 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 1in. distance from 
    the blade.
    4.  Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up 
    to full speed. Never stand directly inline of the saw 
    blade path, always stand to the side of the blade that 
    you are cutting on.
    5.  Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter 
    gauge (3) and flat against the table. Then slowly 
    push the workpiece through the blade.
    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. 
    Always position the larger surface of the workpiece 
    on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel 
    crosscutting to avoid instability.

    USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE 
    (FIG. HH)
    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 in thick wood board 
         (1) that is as long as the rip fence.
    2.  Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood 
    screws (3) through the holes 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.
    Fig. HH
    AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. II)
    Making the base:
    •  Start with a piece of 3/8 in plywood at least 5-1/2 in 
    wide or wider and 30 in long or longer.
    •  Cut the piece to shape and size shown:
    Making the side:
    •  Start with a piece of 3/4 in plywood at least 2-3/8 in 
    wide or wider and 27 in long or longer
    •  Cut the piece to shape and size shown:
    Putting it together:
    •  Put the pieces together, as shown:
    Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the 
    bottom of the base, they must be flush or recessed. 
    The bottom must be flat and smooth enough to rest 
    on the saw table without rocking.
    Fig. II
    COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. FF)
    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 (3) 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. 
    When tilting the workpiece to 45° and push it toward 
    the blade, the blade guard may hit the blade. To 
    avoid injury, stop the work at that time. 
    1.  Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle. 
    2.  Place the miter gauge (3) in the right side groove (2) 
    of the table. 
    3.  Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle 
         and tighten the blade bevel lock knob. 
    4.  Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the miter 
    gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.
    Fig. FF
    MITER CUTS (FIG. GG)
    This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting 
    except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other 
    than 90°.
    1.  Set the blade (1) to 0° bevel angle and tighten the 
    blade bevel lock knob.
    2.  Set the miter gauge (3) at the desired miter angle and 
    lock in position by tightening the miter gauge locking 
    handle.
    3.  Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the 
    miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
