Skil 3310 Saw User Manual


 
26.
If you are making a rip type cut in thinner materials, the facing
should be attached to the fence so that the bottom edge touches
t
he top surface of the table. In this situation, the facing must be
lower than the fence. This will prevent thin material from sliding
under the rip fence.
When positioning fence 14 for maximum rip
cutting (without table extension), make sure side
of fence housing (a) is even with the side edge of the table 2. Do
not make rip cuts or dado cuts beyond this position because the
fence can not be properly locked. Maximum rip cut capacity is
10 3/4 inches (Fig. 4).
15. SMART GUARD SYSTEM
Consists of three key elements: Adjustable (3 position) Riving
Knife, Anti-Kickback Device, and Barrier Guard Device. All of these
are part of a modular system that requires no tools to assemble or
unassemble. This Guard System must always be in place and
working properly for all thru-sawing cuts.
16. TABLE INSERT
Is removable for removing or installing blade or other cutting tools.
For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and
remove plug from power source before re moving
insert.
To remove the insert:
A. Lower the blade below the table surface.
B. Remove main barrier guard and anti-kickback device.
C. Raise blade guard.
D. Lift insert from pocket in table using finger hole.
Never operate the saw without the proper insert in place. Use the
saw insert when sawing, and the dado insert when da do cutting.
17. MITER GAUGE
Head can be locked in desired position for crosscutting or mitering
by tightening the lock handle. ALWAYS SECURELY LOCK IT
WHEN IN USE.
Notches are provided in the miter gauge 17 for attaching an
AUXILIARY FACING (b) to make it easier to cut longer pieces. Be
sure facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw
blade guard.
Select a suitable piece of smooth straight wood 3/4" thick, drill two
holes through it and attach it with two round head #10 or #12 round
head screws 1-1/4" long (c) (Fig. 6).
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so that it extends to
the right of the miter gauge and use the miter gauge in the groove
to the right of the blade.
