The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice
woodworker with a basic understanding of how the sliding
table attachment is used during a typical operation, so
they can more easily understand how to use it.
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not
intended to be an instruction guide for performing actual
machine operations. To learn more about specific opera-
tions and woodworking techniques, seek training from
people experienced with this type of saw, and do addi-
tional research outside of this manual by reading "how-to"
books, trade magazines, or web sites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the
following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable
for cutting.
2. Adjusts the angle and position of the crosscut fence
to the blade for the operation, then locks it in
place. If required, positions the extension fence for
additional support.
3. Positions the extension table to support the
workpiece.
4. Makes sure the sliding table lock knob is disengaged
so the table can move.
5. Makes sure the crosscut fence will not contact the
blade as the sliding table is moved forward.
6. Wears safety glasses and a respirator, holds the
workpiece firmly and flatly against the fence, turns
the table saw ON, and then pushes the crosscut
fence and workpiece forward and completely past
the blade to complete the cut.
The operator is very careful to keep the workpiece
firmly against the table and crosscut fence during
the entire cut.
7. Stops the table saw.
