BEVEL
RIPPING
This cut
is a
combination of ripping while having
the
blade bevel angle is set
to
an
angle other than
"0".
Cut
only
with
the
workpiece
and
the fence on the
right
side of the
blade.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
Avoid
injury
from the blade contact. Never make
through
saw
cuts narrower
than
1/2" wide.
1. lt is
unsafe
to
rip
small pieces. lnstead, rip
a
larger
piece
to obtain the size
of
the desired
piece.
2.
When
a
smallwidth
is
to be ripped
and
your
hand
cannot
be
safely put between the blade and
the
rip
fence,
use
one or more push sticks to move
the
workpiece.
cRosscuTTrNG
(FrG. Y)
To prevent serious
injury:
o
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.
o
Keep
both hands
away
from the blade and the
path
of
the
blade.
1.
Remove
the
rip
fence and place the miter gauge
in
the left side
groove.
2.
Adjust the blade height so it
is
1/8"
higher than
the
top of the workpiece.
3.
Hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter
gauge
with
the blade path in
line
with the desired cut
location.
Keep the
workpiece
away
from the
blade.
4.
Start
the saw
and wait
for the blade
(1)
to come
up to
full speed.
'
5.
Keep the
workpiece
(2)
against the face
of
the miter
gauge
(3) and
flat against the face of the gauge
and
flat against
the
table. Then slowly push
the
workpiece
through the blade.

6.
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.
USING
WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(Fig.
Y-1)
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
the miter
gauge
face 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 support
by
clamping
a
piece
of plywood
to
a
sawhorse.
BEVEL
CROSSCUTTTNG (FrG. Z)
This cutting operation
is
the same as
crosscutting
except the blade
is
at bevel angle other
than 0".
1.
Adjust the blade
(1)
to the desired angle,
and
tighten the blade bevel lock
knob.

MITER CROSSCUTTING (FlG.
AA)
This sawing operation is combining
a
miter angle
with
a
bevel
angle.
1. Set
the miter gauge
(3)
to the desired angle.
Use
only
the left side groove
(2).
2.
Set
the blade (1) bevel to the desired
angle then
Iock in position.
3.
Carefully push the miter gauge to
begin the cutting
