BEVEL RIPPINg

Before connecting the table saw to the

power source or operating the saw, always inspect

the blade guard assembly and splitter for proper

alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check

alignment after each change of bevel angle.

When possible, place the fence on the

right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away

from the fence and hands. Keep your hands clear of

the blade and use a pushstick to feed the workpiece if

there is less than 6" (152 mm) between the fence and

the blade.

Use caution when starting the cut to

prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece.
Bevel ripping (Fig. 56) is the same as ripping except the

bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0

°.

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off

and disconnect it from power source before installing

and removing accessories, before adjusting or when

making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

The splitter and blade guard assemblies

cannot be used when dadoing. It must be removed as

described in Blade guard and Splitter Use section. Use

EXTREME care when using the dado without the blade

guard assembly and splitter.

Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs,

fixtures or featherboards to help guide and control the

workpiece when the guard cannot be used.

Never use a molding cutterhead (A) Fig. 59

in a bevel position. Always use the proper molding

cutterhead throat plate (B).

Never run the stock between the fence

and the molding cutterhead. Irregular-shaped wood will

cause kickback.

To reduce the risk of injury, always return

and fasten the splitter and blade guard assemblies

to the proper operating position for normal through

sawing operations. Also, be sure the standard throat

plate is back in position.

give special attention to the grain direction. Make all cuts in the same direction as the grain whenever

possible.
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the workpiece with a special moulding cutterhead.
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives (Fig. 57). Each of

the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the cutterhead and

securely clamped with a screw. Keep the knife

grooves free of sawdust to allow the cutter to seating properly.
NOTE: The outside arbor flange cannot be used with the moulding cutterhead. Tighten the arbor nut against the cutterhead

body. Do not lose the outside arbor flange. It will be needed when reattaching a blade to the arbor.

1. You can easily attach a moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 59 to the saw arbor.

Also, you must use the accessory

moulding cutterhead throat plate (B) in place of the standard throat plate.

2. When using the moulding cutterhead, add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. 60). The wood-facing

is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4" (19

mm) inch thick is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require 1" (25.4 mm) facing.

3. Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw

on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 60 shows a typical

moulding operation.

To reduce the risk of injury, always return and fasten the splitter and blade guard assemblies to the proper

operating position for normal through sawing operations. Also, be sure the standard throat plate is back in position.
