Basic Saw Operations

Body and Hand Position

WARNING
the following instructions (Figure 21).
Never place hands near cutting area. Keep hands
outside the "No Hands Zone". The "No Hands Zone" is
defined as the area between marked lines on the left and
right side of the Base, including the entire Table and
portion of the Fence within these marked lines. This zone
is labeled by "No Hands" symbols placed just inside the
marked lines on the Base. The marked "No Hands Zone"
on the product is valid for making cut at zero miter and
zero bevel. When making cut other than at zero miter and
zero bevel setting, always check to ensure your hand is
placed at least six (6) inches away from the projected
path of the saw blade.
Always use clamp to hold workpiece against the table and
fence when making compound miter cuts. Do not support
by hand.
Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent movement.
Keep hands in position until trigger has been released
and blade has stopped completely.
Keep feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance.
Follow the miter arm when mitering left or right. Stand
slightly to the side of the saw blade.
Sight through the lower guard if following a pencil line.
Before making any cut, with the power off, lower the blade
to preview the blade path.
WARNING
this occurs:
Typically this may occur when trying to cut workpieces
that are near the maximum cutting height capacity. Under
these conditions, the workpiece can stop the lower guard
movement before the downward motion of the arm could
preopen the lower guard. If this occurs:
Workpiece must be securely clamped. This frees your left
hand to raise the guard 1 by the lip 2 just enough to clear
the workpiece (Figure 22).
Start the saw and begin your cut.
Once you have cleared the position where the lower
guard may bind, release the guard and it will continue to
raise automatically as you cut.
WARNING
conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches away from the projected path of the saw blade.
DRY RUN—It is important to know where the blade will
intersect with the workpiece during cutting operations. Always
perform the simulated cutting sequence with the power tool
switched OFF to gain an understanding of the projected
Position your body and hands properly to
make cutting easier and safer. Observe
The lower guard may not automatically
open under certain cutting conditions. If
Be aware of the path of the saw blade.
Make a dry run with the saw OFF by
path of the saw blade. Mentally note where the path of saw
blade will fall and set up your work to keep your hands and
arms at least six (6) inches away from the projected path of
the spinning blade. Adjust your clamps and fences so that
the smooth lower guard and cutting action is not interfered
with during cutting operation.
