OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The two basic kinds of cuts on a table saw are cross cutting and ripping. In general, cutting with the
grain is ripping and cutting against the grain is cross cutting. However, with composite materials this
distinction may be difficult to make, or not apply at all. In these cases, cutting the wood lengthwise is
ripping and across the shorter dimension is cross cutting. Do not perform either operation freehand.
Use the fence for ripping and the mitre gauge for cross cutting.
Before using your saw, check the following
(with power disconnected):
1. Make sure the blade is tight and secure
2. Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight
3. If ripping, make sure the fence lock lever is tight and the fence is parallel to the blade.
4. If cross cutting, make sure the mitre gauge is tight.
5. Make sure safety glasses/goggles are worn at all times.
6. Make sure the blade is properly ground and attached and that the anti-kickback pawls are
functioning.
Failure to check these points may result in serious injury
