OPERATING COMPONENTS
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the
table and is surrounded by an insert called the throat
plate. The height of the blade is set with a handwheel on
the front of the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels, the
saw table has rails on each side. Detailed instructions are
provided in the
O peration
