OPERATION
TO LOCK MITER TABLE
See Figure 39.
The miter table slides to let the operator slide the
workpiece across the saw. A miter slide lock is
mounted on the front of the miter table to lock it in
place. The miter slide lock is placed in a slot on the
base to align the miter table with the front edge of the
saw table. The sliding miter table should be locked for
any cut in which the operator prefers a fixed table.
■
To lock the miter table with the base projecting to
the front, place miter slide lock in the back slot on
the base.

C. MAKING CUTS
The blade provided with your saw is a high-quality
carbide tipped combination blade suitable for ripping
and crosscut operations. Check with your Sears Retail
Store for other recommended blades.
WARNING:
All blades must be rated for at least
5,500 RPM to prevent possible injury.
TO MAKE A STRAIGHT CROSS CUT
See Figure 40.
It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.
iV WARNING:
Never use rip fence as cutoff gauge
when crosscutting.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard
assembly is installed and working properly to
avoid serious personal injury.
■ Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
■ Set the blade to the correct depth for the
workpiece.
■ Set the miter fence to 90 degrees with the quick
stop or the miter scale.
■ Make sure the miter fence won't touch the blade
while feeding the wood. Make a trial pass of the
miter table. The miter fence should not contact the
blade. Loosen the adjusting clamp to move the
fence if needed.
■ Place a support (the same height as saw table)
behind the saw for the cut work. See Quick Fold
Table in Accessories on page 9.
■ Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
