SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components
discussed later
in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and
seek additional training from expe-
rienced
machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-
able for cutting.
2. Adjusts blade tilt, if necessary, to correct
angle of desired cut.
3. Adjusts blade height approximately
1
⁄4" higher
than thickness of workpiece.
4. Adjusts fence to desired width of cut, then
locks it in place.
5. Checks outfeed side of machine for proper
support and to make sure workpiece can
safely pass all the way through blade without
interference.
6. Puts on safety glasses and a respirator, and
locates push sticks if needed.
7. Starts saw.
8. Feeds workpiece all the way through blade
while maintaining firm pressure on workpiece
against table and fence, and keeping hands
and fingers out of blade path and away from
blade.
9. Stops machine immediately after cut is
complete.
To reduce your risk of
