OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. When ripping a long workpiece, place support same height as table (V) surface behind saw for
cut work.
9. Turn saw on.
10. Position workpiece flat on table (V) with edge flush against rip fence (T). Let blade build up to full
speed before feeding workpiece into blade.
11. Once blade has made contact with workpiece, use hand closest to rip fence for guidance. Make
sure edge of workpiece remains in solid contact with both rip fence and surface of table (V). If
ripping a narrow piece, use push stick (D) to move piece through cut and past blade.
12. When cut is complete, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before
removing the workpiece.
Making a Compound (Bevel) Miter Cut
1. Remove rip fence (T).
2. Unlock bevel locking lever.
3. Adjust bevel angle to desired setting.
4. Lock bevel locking lever.
5. Set blade (W) to correct depth for workpiece.
6. Set miter gauge (U) to desired angle and tighten adjusting clamp knob.
7. Make sure wood is clear of blade (W) before turning on saw.
8. Turn saw on.
9. Let blade (W) build up to full speed before moving workpiece into blade (W).
10. Hand closest to blade should be placed on miter gauge lock knob and hand farthest from
blade (W) should be placed on workpiece.
11. When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade (W) to come to a complete stop before
removing workpiece.
Making a Large Panel Cut
1. Place a support the same height as top of saw table (V) behind saw for cut work. Add supports to
sides as needed.
2. Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence (T) or miter gauge (U). If panel is too large to use
either rip fence (T) or miter gauge (U), it is too large for this saw.
3. Make sure wood does not touch blade (W) before saw is turned on.
4. Turn saw on.
5. Position workpiece flat on table (V) with edge flush against rip fence. Let blade build up to full
speed before feeding workpiece into blade (W).
6. Use push stick (D) to move piece through cut and past blade (W).
7. When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade (W) to come to a complete stop before removing
workpiece.
