OPERATIONS

Always wear safety glasses when oper-

ating this machine. Failure to comply

may result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT investigate problems or

adjustments while the table saw is

running. Wait until the table saw is

turned OFF, unplugged and all work-

ing parts have come to a complete

stop before proceeding!

READ and understand this entire instruc-

tion manual before using this machine.

Serious personal injury may occur if

safety and operational information is not

understood and followed. DO NOT risk

your safety by not reading!

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice

woodworker with a basic understanding of how the sliding

table attachment is used during a typical operation, so

they can more easily understand how to use it.

Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not

intended to be an instruction guide for performing actual

machine operations. To learn more about specific opera-

tions and woodworking techniques, seek training from

people experienced with this type of saw, and do addi-

tional research outside of this manual by reading "how-to"

books, trade magazines, or web sites.

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the

following:

1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable

for cutting.

2. Adjusts the angle and position of the crosscut fence

to the blade for the operation, then locks it in

place. If required, positions the extension fence for

additional support.

3. Positions the extension table to support the

workpiece.

4. Makes sure the sliding table lock knob is disengaged

so the table can move.

5. Makes sure the crosscut fence will not contact the

blade as the sliding table is moved forward.

6. Wears safety glasses and a respirator, holds the

workpiece firmly and flatly against the fence, turns

the table saw ON, and then pushes the crosscut

fence and workpiece forward and completely past

the blade to complete the cut.

The operator is very careful to keep the workpiece

firmly against the table and crosscut fence during

the entire cut.

7. Stops the table saw.
