Study the following terms and explanations carefully to familiarize yourself with the controls before turning on

the power. Doing otherwise may cause damage to the saw or personal injury (Figs. E and F).

A. THE TABLE CLAMP KNOBS allow you to quickly set

the desired fence position (Fig. G).

B. THE TRACK ARM INdEXINg RELEASE HANdLE

releases the indexing pin from the 0° and 45° positions

to allow the arm to rotate. Depress the handle to release

the index pin (Fig. G).

C. THE TRACK ARM ELEVATINg HANdLE controls the

depth-of-cut in all operations. Turn the handle clockwise

to raise, or counter-clockwise to lower the track arm

(Fig. G).

d. THE MITER SCALE indicates the degrees left and right

for setting track arm to desired miter angle (Fig. G).

F. THE RIP SCALE indicates the in and out rip positions of

the cutterhead (Fig. E).

g. THE BLAdE gUARd CLAMP KNOB clamps the blade

guard at rotated positions for ripping (Fig.G.

H. THE BEVEL CLAMP HANdLE controls the tilt of

the motor for bevel cutting operations. It also locks

the motor at any desired angle on the bevel scale.

Lift the handle to loosen, and push it down to lock

(Fig. G).

J. THE BEVEL INdEX RELEASE KNOB allows the motor to

position in the 0°, 45°, and 90° bevel settings. To tilt the

motor for bevel cutting, loosen the bevel clamp handle.

To release the index, pull out the release knob (Fig. G).

K. THE YOKE INdEXINg RELEASE LEVER allows the

saw to achieve a 90° position for ripping or cross-cutting

operations. Loosen the yoke clamp handle to rotate the

yoke. Push the release lever either up or down to release

the indexing pin (Fig. G).

gUIdE TO CONTROLS

L. THE YOKE CLAMP HANdLE must be loose when

rotating the yoke between the rip and cross-cutting

position. Pull the handle to release and push it to lock

(Fig. H).

M. THE ANTI-KICKBACK dEVICE helps to prevent injury

or damage caused by kickback. When ripping, position

and clamp the yoke so that the blade is parallel to the

fence. Rotate the rear of the blade guard until it almost

touches the workpiece. Lower the anti-kickback rod so

that the fingers catch and hold the workpiece. Never

rip from the anti-kickback end of the blade guard

(Fig. H).

N. THE ON-OFF SWITCH is conveniently located, and can be

turned on or off in an instant for added operation protection.

You can also lock this switch in the

"OFF" position to

prevent unauthorized use using an accessory padlock

(Fig. H).

P. THE CUTTINg-HEAd CLAMP KNOB locks the

cutting-head at any position on the track arm. Tighten

the clamp knob (Fig. H).

R. THE BEVEL SCALE indicates the degree of rotation

for setting motor bevel positions (Fig. H).

S. THE TRACK ARM CLAMP HANdLE controls the

rotation of the track arm for all miter cutting operations.

It locks the track arm at any miter angle position. To

rotate the track arm to the right, loosen the clamp

handle and rotate the arm. The arm will stop at

45°. To rotate past 45°, depress the indexing release

handle and rotate. The arm will rotate an additional 5°.

To rotate to the left, the operation is the same except

that you must depress the indexing release handle to

start the rotation (Fig. H).

LOCKINg THE SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, lock the switch in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use, using a

padlock (D) Fig. 44 with a 3/16" diameter shackle

In the event of a power outage (such as a breaker or fuse trip), always move the switch to the “OFF”

position until the main power is restored.
