OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
push blocks when there is a danger that your
hands or fingers will come close to the blade.
Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and
the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it
while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted,
dangerous kickbacks may occur.
NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is
running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before
completing a cut, first switch the tool off while
holding the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade
has come to a complete stop before withdrawing
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause
dangerous kickbacks.
NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is
running.
NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of
the saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel
cuts.
Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous
kickbacks may occur.
Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
push blocks when cutting small or narrow
workpieces, or when the dado head is hidden from
view while cutting.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts
without the need for the operator to contact the blade
with any part of the body.
NOTE:
For your convenience a push stick has been
provided with the tool.

Use a 19 mm (3/4") piece of plywood.

with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5
mm x 8 mm x 50 mm (3/8" x 5/16" x 2") of wood must
always be glued to plywood to keep the blade from
dulling if the operator cuts into push block by mistake.
(Never use nails in push block.)
