The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this table saw and woodworking in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting
or operating this machine.
8iYfi1 A metal shaft extending from the drive
mechanism that is the mounting location for the
saw blade.
9\m\c<[^\:lk1 Tilting the arbor and saw
blade to an angle between 0˚ and 45˚ to cut a
beveled edge onto a workpiece.
9cX[\>lXi[8jj\dYcp1 Metal or plastic safety
device that mounts over the saw blade. Its
function is to prevent the operator from coming
into contact with the saw blade. Refer to
GX^\
** for more details.
:ifjjZlk1 Cutting operation in which the
crosscut fence is used to cut across the shortest
width of the workpiece. Refer to
GX^\+) for
more details.
;X[f9cX[\1 Blade or set of blades that are
used to cut grooves and rabbets. DO NOT use
a dado blade larger than 8" in diameter on this
saw! The saw and arbor are not intended to
safely use a larger dado blade.
;X[f:lk1 Cutting operation that uses a dado
blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the
face of the workpiece. Refer to
GX^\+, for
more details.
=\Xk_\iYfXi[1 Safety device used to keep the
workpiece against the rip fence and against
the table surface. Refer to
GX^\,( for more
details.
B\i]1 The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece
after the saw blade passes through during a
cutting operation.
B`ZbYXZb1 An event in which the workpiece is
propelled back towards the operator at a high
rate of speed.
Efe$K_ifl^_:lk1 A cut in which the blade
does not cut through the top of the workpiece.
Refer to
GX^\*) for more details.
GXiXcc\c1 Being an equal distance apart at every
point along two given lines or planes (i.e. the
rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw
blade).
G\ig\e[`ZlcXi1 Lines or planes that intersect
and form right angles (i.e. the blade is
perpendicular to the table surface).
Glj_Jk`Zb1 Safety device used to push the
workpiece through a cutting operation. Used
most often when rip cutting thin workpieces.
Refer to
GX^\,( for more details.
IXYY\k1 Cutting operation that creates an
L-shaped channel along the edge of the
workpiece. Refer to
GX^\+. for more details.
I`g:lk1 Cutting operation in which the rip
fence is used to cut across the width of the
workpiece. Refer to
GX^\+' for more details.
I`m`e^Be`]\1 Metal plate located behind the
blade. It maintains the kerf opening in the wood
when performing a cutting operation. Refer to
GX^\*+ for more details.
JkiX`^_k\[^\1 A tool used to check the flatness,
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).
K_`eB\i]9cX[\1 A blade with a kerf or
thickness that is thinner than a standard blade.
Since thin kerf blades are typically the same
thickness of the splitter or riving knife—and in
some cases thinner—we DO NOT recommend
that they be used on this saw due to the
increased risk of kickback.
K_ifl^_:lk1A cut in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece. Refer to
GX^\*) for more details.
Q\if:c\XiXeZ\KXYc\@ej\ik1 An aftermarket or
shop-made table insert specifically modified for
the installed blade to eliminate clearance around
the blade.
