FEATURES
KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW
See Figure 2.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tooi and in this operator’s manual
as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting.
Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all op
erating features and safety rules.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which
the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The
teeth on the removable 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 - This saw is provided with a 24-tooth, 10 in.
carbide blade. The blade is raised and lowered with
the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are
locked with the bevel locking lever.
A
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the
speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could
result in personal injury.
BLADE GUARD - Always keep the removable blade guard
down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.
BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever, placed just under
the saw table surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the
angle setting of the blade.
HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL - Located
on the front of the cabinet, use this handwheel to lower
and raise the blade for height adjustments or blade re
placement. This handwheel also makes the adjustment for
bevel angles easy.
MITER GAUGE - The miter gauge aligns the wood for
a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact
angle for a miter cut.
MITER GAUGE GROOVES - The miter gauge rides in the
grooves on the saw table.
RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece
and is secured with the locking lever.
SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale
provides precise measurements for rip cuts.
SPREADER / RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece
of the blade guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw
blade, which helps keep the kerf open and prevent kick
back. When in the through sawing, or “up” position, it is
higher than the saw blade and becomes a spreader. When
in the non-through sawing, or “down” position, it is below
the saw blade teeth and becomes a riving knife.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access
power switch located below the front rail. To lock the
switch in the OFF position, remove the switch key from
the switch. Place the key in a location that is inaccessible
to children and others not qualified to use the tool.
