4. Remove any material from the table, keep
your hands clear of the cutting area, then
press the foot pedal actuator to test the low
-
ering speeds of the hold-downs and blades.
Note: The goal is to make the hold-downs
clamp the workpiece BEFORE the saw blades
begin the cut.
5. When you are satisfied with the adjustment,
re-tighten the jam nut, then lower and secure
the front guard.
Fence Stop
Use the fence stop for repetitive cuts of the same
dimensions. Loosen the lock lever, slide the stop
along the fence rail to the correct setting, then re-
tighten the lever (see Figure 19).

3. Loosen the jam nut on the hold-down (clamp)
lowering speed knob, then turn the knob to
adjust the speed (see
Figure 18).
The saw blades can remove fingers and
hands very quickly. Always keep your hands
at least 4" away from the front guard when
the saw blades are spinning. If necessary,
use push sticks and other safety devices to
handle the workpiece.
