1. Before cutting, make certain the cutting arm and
table are at their correct settings and firmly locked in
place.
2.
Before cutting, determine that the saw is the right
size for the workpiece.
3.
Place the workpiece on the table and clamp it firm-
ly against the fence. Fig. 35, illustrates the standard
equipment work clamp (A) being used to clamp a work-
piece to the fence. The clamp (A) can also be used on
the right side of the machine.
4.
For best results cut at a slow, even cutting rate.
5. WARNING: If the workpiece you are cutting
would cause your hand to be within the hazard zone of
the saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in
place before making cut. See Fig. 35.
6.
Never attempt any freehand cutting (wood that is
not held firmly against the fence and table).
ADJUSTING BLADE
PARALLEL TO TABLE SLOT
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
2. Lower the cutting arm. The saw blade (A) Fig. 33,
should be parallel to the left edge (B) of the table open-
ing.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, raise the cuttinghead,
loosen screws (C) Fig. 34, and move the cutting arm until
the blade is parallel with the left edge (B) Fig. 33 of the
table opening. Then tighten the two screws (C) Fig. 34.
4. Check miter angles and readjust as necessary.
