. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH OFF
before attempting to free the blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece
through the cut … to support long or heavy workpieces … to
remove small cut-off pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER
REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table.
REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table with a long stick.
Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the
blade.
11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
b
ecome TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw is
RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause
a KICKBACK. Turn the saw OFF and disconnect power source.
After the blade has stopped turning, lift the guard and remove
the piece.

RIP FENCE AUXILIARY FACING
When using dado or molding head accessories, an auxiliary
facing board should be used. This will help prevent damage to
the aluminum fence. The facing should be made of 3/4 inch
thick wood – Figure 61 shows dimensional plans to make a
facing board to fit this saw.
Parts Required:
3/4” thick wood board (solid or plywood) cut to size
Three (3) 1/4 x 20 x 3/4” long hex. head machine screws
Three (3) 1/4” Washers
Three (3) 1/4 x 20 machine nuts
The facing is made to the same height (2-3/4”) as the fence and
can work with the blade guard system in place when moving the
fence to contact the blade. The taller facing design (4-1/4”) is
optional and can be used for clamping on other accessories. Cut
the board to the size shown, drill through 9/32” holes, then
counter-sink each hole (down 3/8 inch) using a 3/4 inch drill bit.
Assembly:
1) Place the hex. head 1 of each machine screw into the
recess
2 in the rear fence housing – then slide each screw
forward to the locations shown.
2) Place facing board
3 over screws
3) Place washers over screw threads
4) Thread and tighten the nuts onto the screws
