TO CHECK SL|D|NG M_'ER TABLE ASSEMB!3/'

The square relationshipbetween the blade and the miter

fence as it travels the entire distancefrom the frontto the
rear ofthe miter table base duringa cut is very important

for m_ng preciseand accurate cuts.The slidingmiter
table assembly has been presetat the factory. However,

misallgnment during shippingor requirementsfor very

precise and accurate cuts may requirerce[ignment.
To avoidunnecessarysetups arid ad.iuatments,we
suggest that you check these setups carefullywith a fram-

ing square and make practicecuts inscrapwood before
making finishcuts in good workpisces.
NOTE: Followthe generalrule of measuring twice and
cuttingonce.

Do not loosen any screws. Once screws have been loos-
ened, settings must be reset.

Two basic checks should be made before using the miter
table"(1) the miter base must be parallel to the blade as

the table slides fTomthe front to back, and (2)the miter
fence must be squareto the blade when set at exactly

zero (0") on the rafter table scats.

NOT_ The miter tablehas adjus_ant screws for squar-
ing miter fence tc blade and maintaining0° scalesettings

CAUSES OF KICKBACK

Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds,kick-
ing the workpieca back toward youwith greatforce and

speed. If your handsare near the saw blade, theymay

be jerked loosefrom the workpiece and may contact the
blade. Kickback cancause seriousinjury.Use precautions

to avoid the risks.

Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the
blade in the wood such as:

• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth

• Sawlng into knots or nailsin the workpiece

• Twistingthe wood while makinga out

• Failingto supportwork

• Forcinga cut

• Cutting warped orwet lumber

• Us{ngthe wrong blade for the type of cut

• Not following oorrect operatingprocedures

• Misusingthe saw

• Failingto use the an_-kick.baokpawls

• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or h'npmperiy set
b_ad_

AVOIDING KICKBACK

• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of
the blade teeth shouldclear the workpiece by 1/8 in. to

114in.

• Inspect the work for knotsor nailsbeforebeginninga

cut KnocY,out any loose knotsw_tha hamme_'.Never

saw into a loose knot orna|(.

• Always usethe rip fencewhen rip cuttingand the miter

gauge when crosscutting.This helps preventtwisting
the wood in the cut.

• Always use cLsan,sharp, and properly-set blades,

Never make outs with dullblades.

• TOavoid pinchingthe blade, supportthe work properly

before beginning a cut,

• When making a cut. usesteady, even pressure. Never

force outs.

• Do not cut wet or warped lumber.

• Always herdyour workplece fLrmtywith both hands or

with push sticks.Keep your body in a balanoed posi-

tion to be ready to resist kickbackshould it occur.

Never stand direc_y in line withthe blade.

• Use the righttype of blade for the cut being made.

CUTTING AIDS

See Figure 24.

Pushsticksare devices used for safelypushing a
workpLscethroughthe blade.They can be made _'orn
scrapwood invarioussizes and shapes to be used in
a specificproject.The stick must be narrowerthan the
workpieoe,with s g0°notchin one end and shapingfor a

gripon the other end.

A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws
from the underside. Use it on non-throughcuts.

CAUTION: Be sure the screws in a push blockare

recessedto avoid damagingthe saw or workpiece.

TYPES OF CUTS

See Figure25.

There are six bas;c cuts: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut, 3)

the miter cut, 4} the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel dp cut,

and 6) the compound(bevel}miter cut. Altother cutsare
combinationsof these basic six, Operating proceduresfor

making each kind of cut are givenlater in thissection.

_k WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard

and anti-kickback p_wIs are in place and work'rng

proparty when making these cuts to avoid possible
iniury.

Cross cuts are straight90° cuts rr_ds acrossthe grain of
the workpiaos.The wood is fed into the out at a 90° angle

to the blade, and the blade is vertical.

Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood. To avoid
kickbackwhile making a rip cut, make sure one side of
the wood rides firmly againstthe ripfence.

Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to ths
blade other than 90 °. The blade is verticaLMiter cuts

tend to "creep" away from the miterfence during cutting.

This can be controlledby holdingthe workplace astutely

against the miter fence.

_" WARNING; Always use a pushstick when cutting

small pieces of wood, and atso to finishthe cut when
ripping a long narrow piece of wood, to preventyour
hands from ge'_t.ingo{ossto the blade.

cuts are across the wood grain,and bevel rip Gutsarewith
the grain.The rip fence must always be on the left side of

the blade for bevel rip cuts.

Compound (or bevel} miter cuts are made with an angled

blade on wood that isangled to the blade, Be thoroughly

CUTTING TIPS

Dado and rabbet cuts are non-throughcutswhich can
be either rip outsor cross cuts.Carefully read and un-
derstandall sections ofthis operator'smanual before at-

tempting any operation.

A WARNING= Do not use btadasrated lessthan the

speed of thistool Fa_urato heed thiswarning could
result in personal in}ury,

• The kerr (the cut madeby the blade in the wood) willbe

wider than the bladeto avoid overheatingor binding.

Make a(iowance for the keff when measuringwood.

• Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the
measuring line.

FEATHERBOARD

A fsatherboard is a device used to heJpcontroithe

workpisce by guidingit securelyagainst the table or

fence. Faatharboardsare especially usefulwhen ripping
small workpiecesand for completing non-throughcuts.

The end is angled with a number of short kerfsto givea

friction hold on the workplace and locked in place on the

table with e C-clamp, Test that it can resist kickback.

A WARNING: Place the featharboardagainstthe

uncut portion of the wor_oiece to avoidkickback that
could cause seriouspersonal iniury.

HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD

See F/gum 26.

The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw.

Select s solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in.
thick, 3-5/8 in. wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of
the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the
width to 30@and miter the other half of the same end
to 45° (see page 32 for information on miter cuts). Mark
the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in.

Drill a 3/8 in. hote at the 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.

Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 31.
Set the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in.

"finger" to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to
the mark previouslymade st 6 in. Turn the saw OFF

and allow the blade to completety stop rotating before
removing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced
rips into the workpisce 1o allow approximately 1/4 in.
fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between the fingers.

HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure 27.

Removethe adjustingclamp knob, bolt,and washer from

the miter fence holder.Place the boltthrough one of the

holes in the featherboard. Positioningthe fsatherboard

will depend on the placement of the boltand the position

of the slidingmTtartable on the mils. Placethe washer
on the boltand attach the adiustingclamp knob, Ioosety.

Pos{tionthe featherboard with the hex head of the bolt

inthemitertableslotbutdo nottighten.Completely

lower the saw blade. Positionthe ripfence _othe desired
edjusb_ant for the cut to be performed and lock. Place
the workpiece againstthe fence and over the saw blade

area. Adiust the featherbsard to applyresistanceto the
workplacejust forward of the blade. Securely tighten the
adjustingclamp knob to securethe featherboardin plane.
Attach a C-clamp to further secure the fsatherboardto

the edge of the slidingmiter table.

_, WARN[NG" 0o not locate the featherboa_dto the

practice is to check your setupscarefullywith a fram-
ing square and make practice cutsin scrap wood before

making finish cuts in goodworkpiaces. Do not start any
adjustments until you have checked with a square and

made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.
