MAKING CUTS
This table saw can perform a variety of cuts that are not all
mentioned in this manual. DO NOT attempt to make any
cuts not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar
with the proper procedures and necessary accessories.
Your local library has many books on table saw usage and
specialized woodworking procedures for your reference.
The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combi-
nation blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations.
Carefully check all setups and rotate the blade one full
revolution to assure proper clearance before connect-
ing saw to power source. Stand slightly to the side of the
blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback
Occur.

and compound miter cuts. To secure the angle, lock the
miter gauge in place by twisting the lock knob clockwise.

saved on the left side of the blade and that you make a
test cut on scrap wood first.
