OPERATION
n Advance the workpiece and the miter gauge toward the
blade. Keep the workpiece flush against the miter gauge.
Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the
blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback
occur.
n When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop before removing any part of
the workpiece.
n After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
stock.
TO MAKE A LARGE PANEL CUT
See Figure 60.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious possible
injury.
n Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to
the sides as needed.
n Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence
or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to use either the
rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter
gauge or rip fence). Such a cut increases the risk
of kickback and can result in serious injury.
n Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
n Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
n Hold the workpiece firmly and feed the workpiece into
the blade.
n When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop before removing any part of
the workpiece.
n After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
stock.
