ADJUSTING TENSION OF CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING
The tension of the cuttinghead return spring was set at
the factory to return to the “up” position. If necessary, to
adjust:
Loosen the nut (A) Fig. 27 and turn the screw (B)
(clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease
the spring tension). After adjusting, tighten the nut (A).
Confirm that the cuttinghead returns
freely to the up position.

OPERATIONS
HAZARD ZONE
The area inside the two red lines (A)
Fig. 28 is designated as a “HAZARD
ZONE”. Never place your hands inside
this area while the machine is running.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. Before cutting, verify that the cuttinghead and table
are at their correct settings and firmly locked in
place.
2. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp
it firmly against the fence with the supplied work
clamp (A) Fig. 29. This clamp can be used on either
the left or right side of the machine (See Fig. 7).
3. Cut at a slow, even cutting rate.
If the position or size of the workpiece
causes your hand to be in the “Hazard
Zone”, use the work clamp to secure
the workpiece. Keep your hands out
of the “Hazard Zone”.
Never attempt freehand cutting (wood
that is not held or clamped firmly
against the fence and table).

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
When performing multiple or repetitive
operations that result in small cut-off
pieces (one inch or less), the saw blade
can catch the cut-off pieces and project
them out of the machine or into the
blade guard and housing, causing
damage or injury. To limit the risk, an
auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to
your saw (Fig. 30).
