RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from improper use of its equipment.

1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medica tion that impairs reflexes or alertness.

2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.

3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the saw is in operation; do not permit them to operate the saw.

4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsu pervised use.

5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided atten tion. Even a momentary distraction can lead to seri ous injury.

6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.

7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck laces or other jewelry while the saw is in operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.

8. Be sure that adjusting wren ches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operating.

9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all mo ving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.

10. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and in proper cutting direction before operation.

11. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.

12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents.

13. If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stop ping the table saw.

14. Do not push or force stock into the blade. The saw will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed.

15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not have a flat surface. Always hold stock firmly against the fence when ripping, or against the miter gauge when cross-cutting.

16. To minimize risk of injury in the event of workpiece kickback, never stand directly in-line with the blade or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.

18. Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly reattached before using the tool again.

19. Never leave the machine running with the power on when not in operation.

20. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by ment malfunction or risk of injury.

21. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the blade is unin tentionally contacted.

22. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or changing accessories such as blades, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjust ments, or if the machine will be left unattended.

23. Make sure that switch is in «OFF» position before plugging in the power cord.

24. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equip ped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.

25. Do not use this saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, disclaims any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that use.

26. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

27. Always use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eye glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

28. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

29. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will oper ate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

30. Direction of feed. Feed work into blade against the direction of rotation of the blade.

GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL

may result in equip-

17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance posi tions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both feet on floor. Never lean over or reach over the blade and never pull the work piece over the blade from behind. Use out feed support or have an assis tant help when ripping long material.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.

THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only three prong grounding plugs and receptacles that accept that type of plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only if a properly grounded outlet has been installed by a qualified electrician - this adapter is not permitted in Canada.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch D. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY

Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service department.

CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 220V

Note: When converting motor voltage on a machine that is equipped with a magnetic switch, the switch contactor must also be changed out for one made for the appropriate voltage, as well as the thermal relay/circuit breaker and “power in” indicator light (if applicable). Failure to make these necessary modifications to the switch will lead to malfunction and permanent switch failure.

Should you need to convert your machine’s motor from 110V to 220V power, there is an electrical schematic drawing on the inside of the motor cover plate. Unless you are a qualified electrician, we do not recommend attempting this conversion on your own. If you choose to do so, you may risk serious personal injury, damage to the motor and voiding the warranty of your machine.

We suggest you ask your local General International distributor to recommend qualified electricians in your area (or perhaps one of their own technicians) who can make this conversion properly and safely.

EXTENSION CORDS

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately.

Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.

Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

THIS MODEL IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE.

TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY

EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 233 LBS (106 KG) FOR 50-090RK & 217 LBS (98.5 KG) FOR 50-090RC.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP

This machine should be installed and operated only on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight of the saw and the ope-rator.

Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other tools or ma-chinery.

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined “nogo” zone on the floor around each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for everyone but the individual operating the unit.

CLEAN UP

The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)

A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface, may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will remove paint.

To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.

Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slots to remove the grease.

1. Use 6 cap screws with lock washers and nuts A to assemble the rear rails to the rear of the saw as shown B.

2. Make sure that the intersection C between the two rear rails is leveled D.

MOUNT THE SWITCH

1. Temporarily remove the end cap from the left end of the front rail A.

2. Slide the heads of the bolts of the switch mounting

bracket into the t-sot on the underside of the fence rail B.

3. Position the switch somewhere between 4” and 12”

from the end of the fence rail C, depending upon your personal preference.

4. Tighten the screws to secure the switch in place.

5. Reinstall the end cap on the front rail.

INSTALL / REMOVE A SAW BLADE

BE SURE THE SAW IS UNPLUGGED AND COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER INSTALLING OR REMOVING A SAW BLADE!

1. Loosen the retaining screw and remove the table

insert plate, A.

2. Install a saw blade (not supplied with the saw) so

that the openings between the teeth face the front of the saw

3. Replace the flange and arbor nut. Wedge a board

between the saw teeth at the back of the saw, B, so the blade won’t turn as you tighten the nut clockwise with the arbor wrench.

Remove a saw blade: wedge a block of wood between the teeth in front of the saw and turn the arbor wrench toward you, or counter-clockwise.

NOTE: This saw is intended for use with 10” (250mm) diameter or less saw blades having a center hole diameter of 5/8”. There are many types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as crosscuts or ripping only, or for use with plywood, panelling and other products. A good quality specialty blade can produce a finer finish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only saw blades designed for use at a maximum operating speed of 6000 RPM or less. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store saw blades by stacking them directly in contact with each other. Place a layer of cardboard or similar material between the blades to keep them from coming into contact with each other.

(the blade spins in the counter-clockwise direction).

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE POINTER

The bevel pointer should read “0” when the blade is at 90° to the table. If not, loosen the pointer screw, manually reset the pointer to 0 and re-tighten the screw.

SELECTING, INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING RIVING KNIFE

SELECT A RIVING KNIFE

Two riving knives are provided:

- A combination riving style splitter and blade guard

with anti-kickback pawls A;

- A European style riving knife without blade guard

The riving knife must always be used with a blade guard. If you already own an independently attached bladeguard such as our Excalibur 50-EXBC10, use the riving knife B. If you do not already own a blade guard, use the splitter/blade guard assembly A.

THE BLADE MUST NEVER REMAIN EXPOSED WHEN USING THE SAW. TO PREVENT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURIES, ALWAYS COVER THE BLADE WITH A BLADE GUARD.

REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

Set the blade to 90º and raise it to its highest position and remove the table insert. If already installed, remove the splitter or riving knife by loosening the lock knob A and pulling the splitter or riving knife up out of its mounting bracket.

To install, fit the bottom end of the splitter or riving knife into the slot in the mounting bracket and tighten the lock knob to lock it in place. Re-install the table insert.

CENTERING THE SPLITTER / RIVING KNIFE ON THE BLADE

The splitter/riving knife should be more or less centered on the blade to allow for workpiece clearance on both sides of the blade A.

1. Place a straightedge against a front and back tooth of the blade C. There should be a more or less equal gap between the straightedge and the splitter/riving knife on both sides of the blade D.

2. The splitter/knife mounting bracket assembly is held together by two button head locking screws E. Both 90º to the table and parallel/centered to the blade alignments can be achieved by adjusting the four set screws F. The locking screws must first be loo sened (using a 3mm allen key) – 1/4 turn or more, depending upon how much adjustment is re quired, in order to be able to adjust the set screws F using a 2.5 mm allen key.

THE SPLITTER/RIVING KNIFE SHOULD NEVER PROTRUDE BEYOND EITHER EDGE OF THE BLADE TRUCT THE WORKPIECE AND LEAD TO A DANGEROUS KICKBACK SITUATION WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

LEVEL THE TABLE INSERT

Place the insert into the table and use a straightedge to determine whether the insert is level with the table top A. Turn each of the 5 adjusting screws B with the supplied Allen wrench until done.

Suggestion: Start by adjusting one rear screw and its diagonal opposite in front, then tweak the remaining screws.

Note: If the sawblade has already been installed, use the raising handwheel to lower the blade below the table surface before leveling the insert.

3. Press down the pivot block on the anti-kickback

body and turn it up to lift the body.

4. Reserve steps 2 & 3 to re-install the anti-kickback.

ALIGN AND LEVEL THE RIP FENCE

THE RIP FENCE MUST BE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE DU-RING OPERATION. FAILURE TO SET THE RIP FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE CAN RESULT IN KICKBACK AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.

ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE

To make satisfactory rip cuts, your fence must be aligned perfectly parallel with the saw blade.

1. Slide the fence over to the right T-slot on your saw ta ble top A. Lock down the fence handle B and make a visual check that the fence is parallel with the T-slot all along its length.

Also, you can place a small 3/4” thick block of wood, upright into the T-slot and slide it from the front to the back checking its distance from the left edge of the fence.

2. If the fence is not parallel, it can be adjusted by using an Allen key to turn one or both of the screws C or D. Do this slowly, just an eighth to a quarter turn at a time, or you will quickly overshoot the desired adjust ment.

Note: It is always good practice to periodically recheck the alignment of your fence to the blade.

ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PERPENDICULAR (90°) TO THE TABLE

Place a machinist square on the table against the fence and look for a gap between the square and the fence (bottom and top) or the table. If needed, adjust either of the two plastic set screws E, to tilt the fence slightly and square it to the table.

LEVEL THE FENCE

The fence should be parallel to the table and sit approximately 2 mm above the table’s surface (so the fence will not scratch the table and a thin work piece will not get stuck or jammed under the fence).

To level and adjust the height of the fence:

1. Loosen the hex nut F on the leveling foot G located un der the rear end of the fence.

2. Raise or lower the leveling foot until there is a spa cing of 2 mm (approx.) between the bottom of the fence and the table, then tighten the hex nut to lock the set ting of the leveling foot.

LARGER VIEW

3. If needed, to level the fence, adjust the plastic set screws E equally, thereby raising or lowering the front of the

fence an equal amount on either side so as not to undo the previous perpendicular adjustment.

ADJUST & ALIGN RIP FENCE POINTER

STOP

See your F36 T28/52 fence manual for further information.

Set blade to 90° and raise it to the maximum height. Move the fence till it lightly touches the right side of the blade and push down the locking lever to lock the fence in place A.

With the fence locked in place against the blade, loosen the pointer screws B. Line up the reference line C on the pointer with the zero point on the tape D and re-tighten the pointer screws.

Note: When changing blades, re-align the pointer with the zero points on the tapes to account for thinner or thicker blades.

CONNECTING TO A DUST COLLECTOR

• There is a 2 1/2” dust outlet located on the lower left of the saw cabinet allowing for the connection to a dust collection system (not included).

• Be sure to use appropriate size hose and fittings (not included) and check that all connections are sealed tightly to minimize airborne dust.

• If you do not already own a dust collection system consider contacting your General® International dis tributor for information on our complete line of dust col lection systems and accessories or visit our website at www.general.ca

ALWAYS TURN ON THE DUST COLLECTOR BEFORE STARTING THE SAW AND ALWAYS STOP THE SAW BEFORE TURNING OFF THE DUST COLLECTOR.

BASIC ADJUSTMENTS & CONTROLS

TO AVOID RISK OF SHOCK OR FIRE DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH A DAMAGED POWER CORD OR PLUG. REPLACE DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY.

TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNINTENTIONAL START-UP, MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH ON THE SAW IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

Once the assembly steps have been completed, uncoil the power cord and plug it into an appropriate outlet. Refer back to the section entitled “ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS” and make sure all requirements and grounding instructions are followed. When cutting operations have been completed unplug the saw from the power source.

SWITCH OFF

ADJUSTING THE BLADE TILT

1. Unlock the tilt mechanism by turning the lock lever A counterclockwise, then adjust the blade tilt as per

the desired angle.

2. Once the blade tilt is adjusted, retighten the lock lever A to lock the blade in position.

ON/OFF SWITCH SAFETY PIN

The switch assembly is equipped with a lock-out safety pin. When the pin is installed through the green “on” button, the machine cannot be started.

To start the machine, lift the red stop switch panel and remove the lock-out pin. Lower the stop panel and push the green “ON” button. Wait for the spindle to reach full speed before sanding.

To stop the machine, push on the RED “STOP” panel and wait for the spindle to come to a complete stop. When you have finished using the machine be sure to re-install the lock-out pin and unplug the machine from the power source.

PADLOCK

To avoid accidental manipulation by young children or others not qualified, the use of a padlock is required. To lock out the ON/OFF switch, just open the padlock ( ), insert it through the “Start button” hole ( ) and simply close the padlock. Place the key in a safe place out of the reach of children.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

• Make sure that the arbor nut is secure and that the blade is firmly tightened snug on the arbor.

• Check that the blade angle and height lock knobs are tight.

• If ripping, make sure the fence lock lever is engaged and that the fence is parallel to the blade.

• If cross cutting, make sure the miter gauge is locked tight.

• While using the saw, be sure to wear safety glasses at all times.

• Make sure that the blade guard/splitter assembly or riving knife is properly installed and aligned with the blade, and that the anti-kickback pawls are functioning.

RIPPING

Cutting a wood plank or sheet of plywood lengthwise to reduce its width is called “ripping.” To rip stock, hold the work with both hands pushing it into the blade as well as firmly against the rip fence so that it is cut straight.

• The work to be cut must have a straight edge to ride the fence and must be flat to make solid contact with the table during the cut in order to avoid “kickback” (a blade jam causing the wood to fly backwards and hit you).

• Never rip or cut wood without using the fence or miter gauge to guide it because the stock could kickback.

• Always use the blade guard and splitter assembly when cutting wood. It has anti-kickback fingers and a splitter to prevent the saw “kerf” (the slit cut by the blade) from closing and binding the blade, which can overload and/or stall the motor. The blade guard keeps your fingers away from the blade and also reduces the amount of sawdust flying free.

• Although certain operations require the removal of the blade guard and splitter assembly, it should always

be replaced for regular cutting.

• Never stand in the line of the blade when ripping.

• Raise the saw blade only about 1/4” higher than the work to be cut.

As you complete the rip, the wood will either remain on the table, tilt up to be caught on the end of the guard, or fall onto the floor (or outfeed table). The waste part of the stock remains on the table to be removed only after the saw is stopped (unless it is large enough for immediate safe removal).

If the work to be ripped is narrow, it is safer to use a push stick, rather than hands, to feed it into the blade. Push sticks with non-slip grippers can be purchased, but a shop-made one, A, works just as well.

When ripping extremely narrow stock that may not clear the width of the blade guard, or very thin material such as paneling, which may slip between the underside of the fence and the table surface, a strip of wood as an auxiliary guide can be attached to the fence.

BEVEL RIPPING

Bevel ripping is performed the same as ripping but with the saw blade set to an angle not perpendicular with the table surface. After changing the bevel angle verify the alignment of the guard and splitter; make sure there is clearance with the saw blade.

VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

RIPPING SMALL WORK PIECES

Do not attempt rip cuts if the work piece is too small, as this will oblige you to place your hands too close to the blade and put you at serious risk of injury. When ripping narrower widths, use a push block or a push stick in order to avoid placing hands near the blade.

CROSS CUTTING

Cutting against the grain, to shorten the length of a board is crosscutting. With some smaller-sized and rectangular pieces, you often have the choice of ripping or crosscutting. Always use the miter gauge, B, when crosscutting; never cut a piece unsupported. The miter gauge may be used in either slot, but most operators prefer the left groove for typical work. When the blade is tilted for bevel cutting, use the table slot that does not cause interference with your hand or the saw blade guard.

To begin crosscutting, place the work on the miter gauge and, with the motor OFF, slide it up close to the blade to align the outer edges of the teeth with your cut mark, C. Keep a firm grip as you pull the miter gauge and the wood back away from the blade. Lower the blade guard, turn on the saw and make the cut. When the work is cut through, move one or both cut pieces—if long enough to handle without danger—immediately off to the side, away from the turning blade. Turn off the motor.

ALIGN-A-CUT

The yellow plastic “align-a-cut” table insert allows the user to make a reference mark on the insert for repetitive non-precision cross cuts.

BEVEL CROSS CUTTING

This procedure is the same as cross cutting except that the blade is set to an angle other than 0. After changing the bevel angle, verify the alignment of the guard and splitter and verify that there is clea-rance with the saw blade.

ADJUSTING AND USING THE MITER GAUGE

The miter gauge supplied with your saw has accurately adjusted index stops at 90° and 45° to the right and left, with a 30° maximum.

To use a setting other than 90°, loosen the lock knob, A, by turning it counter-clockwise, pull the stop-lock pin, B, rota-te the miter head to 45°, or any angle shown on the numerical guide. Turn the lock knob clockwise to tighten it.

To check the accuracy of the miter gauge’s factory settings, set it at 90° and check it with an L-square or T-square. To verify the setting, make a test cut in scrap stock and then use a square to check the cut piece. Repeat adjustment if necessary.

If the miter gauge needs adjusting, manually turn the head so the pointer is where you think it ought to be, tighten the lock knob and loosen the nut, as shown at C. Turn the adjusting screw until it touches the stop-lock pin. Tighten down the nut again. Recheck the angle by making another test cut. Repeat, if necessary, until a true 90° is achieved.

ADDING AN AUXILIARY FENCE TO THE MITER GAUGE

To ensure a true 90° crosscut, especially with longer pieces of wood that need more support than the narrow miter gauge head can provide, an auxiliary wood fence can be attached.

Make sure the wood for the fence is straight, not bowed. It should be about 2 inches wide and extend about 12 inches from either side of the miter head. Drill 2 holes in the wood corresponding to those on the miter head and use bolts and nuts to secure the wood fence to the head, D.

To use the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence, first notch the fence with the saw blade a bit higher than the workpiece, E. Measure and draw a cutline on your wood, F. then place it on the miter fence. Position your cutline against the notch. Turn on the saw, slide the work up until it is cut through (but don’t cut off the fence).

Marking Wood. If you measure a cut for 24 inches, line up the blade on the waste side of the mark. Don’t cut through the middle of the measurement line or you’ll reduce your desired board length by half the width of the saw blade! For accurate work, don’t mark your cut with a fat pencil line, G. A narrow dash, with a sharp pencil point is best, H. Encircle the dash so you’ll find it again and add a small X to indicate the waste or cut-off side. Pencils, like saw blades, have thickness. When squaring off from the cut mark, align your square to allow for pencil clearance, which will be about 1/16” away from the drawing edge of the square, I.

MITER CUTS

This operation is the same as cross cutting, except the miter gauge is set to an angle other than 0. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work piece slowly into the blade to prevent it from moving during the cut.

COMPOUND MITERING

This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and mitering. It is infrequently used. Follow instructions for both bevel cutting and mitering.

USING A DADO HEAD BLADE

Dadoing is cutting a “rabbet” or a wide groove into the work. A dado blade, A, (not supplied with your saw) usually consists of two outer blades and several interior cutters. These can be adjusted to cut grooves from 1/8” to 13/16” for making shelves, joints and te-noning. Set the blade’s width according to the instructions.

After adjusting its width, mount the dado blade on your saw just like a regular blade. You’ll need an optional dado insert, B (#50-230R) to replace the standard one that comes with your saw. Use the fence to line up the cut. The blade guard/splitter must be removed when dadoing. Never use the dado blade in a bevel position.

ALWAYS VERIFY THE DADO BLADE CLEARANCE BEFORE CONNECTING THE SAW TO THE POWER SOURCE. REATTACH THE GUARD AND ADJUST AFTER DADO CUT IS FINISHED. THE MAXIMUM DADO HEAD WIDTH FOR THIS SAW IS 13/16” AND THE MAXIMUM DADO BLADE DIAMETER IS 8”.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOLDING & UNFOLDING THE STAND (50-090RK ONLY)

Make sure the machine is on flat, solid ground.

While firmly holding the main handle turn the cam lock lever, A, clockwise to release the front brace, B.

Slowly lower the machine – the bra-cket will slide forward, C, and the ma-chine will come to a rest.

Hold the main support bracket, E, and using the wheels as a pivot point, lift and push the machine forward un-til it is vertical to the floor as shown in D.

Pull out the locking pin handle, F, to fold in the rear support, G, until it rests against the front brace. Push the locking pin handle back in to secure the rear support leg in the stow position.

The end result should resemble the machine as shown.
