6. Keep the workpiece against the face of the miter
gauge and flat against the table. Then slowly push
the workpiece through the blade.
7. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.
Always position the larger surface of the workpiece
on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel
crosscutting to avoid instability.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(FIG. SS)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or
short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood,
drill two holes through it and attach it to the miter gauge
with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere
with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When
cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed
support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

turned to a new position away from the blade tilting

RIPPING SMALL PIECES
To avoid injury from the blade contact, never make cuts
narrower than 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped and your hand
cannot be safely press between the blade and the
rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move the
workpiece. Always use a push stick during ripping
operations.
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. RR)
To prevent serious injury:
Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table
saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that
even a careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
Keep both hands away from the blade and the path
of the blade.
1. Remove the rip fence and place it on the hooks
located on the left side of stand.
2. Place the miter gauge (1) either groove in the table
top.
3. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) higher
than the top of the workpiece (2).
4. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Move the workpiece to 1in. (25.4 mm)
distance from the blade (3).
5. Start the saw and wait for the blade to come up to full
speed. Never stand directly inline of the saw blade
path, always stand to the side of the blade that you
are cutting on.
