toward the operator. The teeth on the anti-kickback pawls
point away from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be
pulled back toward the operator, the teeth dig into the wood
to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.
Bevel Scale
The easy-to-read scale on the front of the cabinet shows the
exact blade angle.
Blade
For maximum performance, it is recommended that you use
the 40-tooth, 254 mm carbide tipped combination blade.
provided with your saw. The blade is raised and lowered with
