OPERATION
Fig. 24
TO USE OUTFEED SUPPORT
See Figure 24.
The outfeed support slides to give the operator additional
support for cutting long workpieces.
With the table saw in the off position, stand behind the
saw.
Grasp the outfeed support with both hands and pull the
outfeed support until it is fully extended.
TO USE SOLID TABLE EXTENSION
See Figure 25.
The solid table extension provides the operator with a flat
surface.
Remove the sliding miter table by turning the table lock
knobs counterclockwise.
Place the solid table extension in the slot.
Retighten the table lock knobs.
WARNING:
Never stand directly in line with the blade or allow hands
to come closer than 3 in. to the blade. Do not reach over
or across the blade. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
MAKING CUTS
The blade provided with your saw is a high-quality combina-
tion blade suitable for ripping and crosscut operations.
WARNING:
All blades must be rated for at least 5,500 RPM to prevent
possible injury.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 26.
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.
Note: When the miter fence is placed in the first hole (one
towards the center of the sliding miter table), use the scale
on the outside of the sliding miter table. To increase cutting
capacity, use the second hole (one closest to the front of the
table), using the front of the miter fence to read the inner
scale.
It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.
Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
