OPERATION
Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece,
use the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make
sure the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact
with both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If rip-
ping a narrow piece, use a push stick to move the piece
through the cut and past the blade.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
stock.
Grasp the workpiece from the lead end (the end fed into
the blade first) and carefully remove it from the table.
MAKING A COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT
See Figure 43.
It is recommended that you place the piece to be saved
on the left side of the blade and that you make a test cut
on scrap wood first.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid possible serious injury.
Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
Unlock the bevel locking lever.
Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting.
Lock the bevel locking lever.
Set the saw blade to the correct depth.
Loosen the lock knob on the miter fence, set the miter
fence to the desired angle and tighten the lock knob.
Turn the power switch to the ON position.
Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the miter fence. Let the blade build up to
full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
Advance the workpiece and the miter fence toward the
blade. Keep the workpiece flush against the miter fence.
Push the miter fence and workpiece toward the blade.
Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the
blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback
occur.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
stock.
