MAKING CUTS
Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury.
• NEVER touch the free end of the workpiece (the cut-o side
beyond the front edge of the blade), while the power is on
and/or the saw blade is rotating. Blade contact or binding may
occur, resulting in a thrown workpiece.
• When sawing a long workpiece or a panel, use a work
support, such as a sawhorse, rollers or out-feed table at the
same height as the table surface of the saw.
• NEVER try to pull the workpiece back or lift it o the table,
turn the switch o, allow the blade to stop, raise the anti-
kickback teeth on each side of the riving knife if necessary,
and slide the workpiece out.
• Before connecting the table saw to the power source or
operating the saw, ALWAYS inspect the blade guard
assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance
with the saw blade. Check alignment after each change of
beveling angle.
Cross Cut Mitered Crosscut Rip Cut
Beveled Cross Cut Beveled Rip Cut Compound Miter Cut
• A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations
to prevent loss of control and personal injury. ALWAYS lock
the fence to the rail. NEVER perform a ripping operation
freehand.
• When making bevel cuts, place the fence on the right side of
the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and
hands. KEEP hands clear of the blade and use a push stick
to feed the workpiece unless the workpiece is large enough
to allow you to hold it more than 6 inches (152mm) from the
blade.
• Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power switch,
or take other appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized
use of the saw.
• NEVER stand in front of the workpiece.
• ALWAYS stand on the same side of the blade as the fence
during a rip cut and the miter gauge during a cross cut.
