CUTTING KERF MARKS
In order to move the Saw Blade into
different cutting positions, kerf marks (or
grooves) must be cut into the worktable.
It is recommended to cut grooves into a
piece of 1/4” plywood mounted to the sur-
face of Table A.
Cut a piece of 1/4” plywood the same 1.
size as Table A.
Mount the plywood to Table A using 2.
self-tapping, countersinking screws at
the four corners of Table A.
Set the Carriage Arm at 0° and lock in 3.
place.
Set the Saw Blade angle to 0° index 4.
position (perpendicular to the work-
table).
Draw out the Saw Blade to mid-range 5.
on the Carriage Arm and lock in that
position.
Turn the Elevating Handle to lower 6.
the Saw Blade so it just touches the
plywood top.
Place your hand on the Handle As-7.
sembly (87) and press the green ON
button with the other hand. Squeeze
the Trigger (86) to start the motor.
With the same hand that you turned 8.
ON the machine, loosen the Carriage
Lock Knob and slowly move the Saw
Blade back, cutting the rip fence; and
then move it all the way forward, cut-
ting a groove into the entire depth of
the plywood.
With the machine still running, turn 9.
the Elevating Handle 1/4 turn, lower-
ing the Saw Blade a little more. Pull
the Handle back and forth again to
cut the plywood groove a little deep-
er. Tighten the Carriage Lock Knob
again.
With the machine still running, loosen 10.
the yoke Clamp Handle (66) and pull
out the Yoke Index Knob and turn the
yoke clockwise until it locks into the
90°.
This cuts a swing line into the work-
table for in-ripping.
Once the quarter turn (swing line cut) 11.
is complete, lock the yoke Clamp
Handle. With the Saw Blade still turn-
ing, push on the Handle until the Saw
Blade reaches the rip fence, cutting
the rip trough in the center of the
worktable.
Turn the machine OFF and return the 12.
Saw Blade to the crosscut position.
Lock the Carriage Lock Knob.
Turn the machine ON and rotate the 13.
Yoke counterclockwise to the out-rip
position. This cuts the swing line for
out-ripping. Loosen the Carriage Lock
Knob.
Lock the yoke Clamp Handle (66) 14.
and, with the Saw Blade revolving,
push the Handle back until the new
groove matches the groove cut in
step 11. Turn the machine OFF.
Return the Saw Blade to the crosscut 15.
position. Unlock the Carriage Lock
Knob (74b) and move the motor as-
sembly to the rear position, behind
the fence. Pull out the Bevel Index
Knob (74) and lock the Saw Blade at
index position 60°. Turn on machine
and pull the Handle forward. This will
cut a kerf mark for bevel crosscuts.
Turn the machine OFF.
Lock the Carriage Lock Knob and 16.
start the motor. Pull the Carriage Arm
Index Lock Knob and move the Arm
to the 45° right-hand miter position.
This will cut a groove for miter cuts.
Turn the machine OFF.
