HEELING (PARALLELING) BLADE
TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE
• Blade (A) must be parallel to miter gauge groove so
that wood does not bind, resulting in kickback. Failure
to do so could result in serious personal injury.
• To reduce risk of injury from kickback, align rip fence
to blade (A) following any blade adjustments.
DO NOT loosen any screws for this adjustment until alignment
has been checked with a square to be sure adjustments are
necessary. Once screws are loosened, items must be reset.
Note: Unplug saw. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback
pawls. Raise the blade (A) by turning height adjusting wheel.
1.
Mark beside one of blade teeth at front of blade (A).
Place a combination square even with front of saw table
and side of saw blade (A) as shown.
2.
Turn blade (A) so that marked tooth is at back. Move
combination square to the rear and again measure the
distance. If the distances are the same, blade (A) is
square.

CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES

PUSH STICK
In order to operate your table saw safely, you must use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would otherwise
cause your hands to be within 6-inches (152mm) of the saw blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.
No special wood is needed to make additional pushsticks as long as it is sturdy and long enough with no knots, checks or cracks. A
length of approximately 15.7 inches (400mm) is recommended with a notch that fits against the edge of the workpiece to prevent
slipping. It's a good idea to have several push sticks of the same minimum length, 15.7 inches (400mm), with different size notches
for different workpiece thicknesses.
The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as it performs its intended function of keeping your hands away from the blade.
Angling the notch so the push stick can be held at a 20° to 30° angle from the saw's table will help you to hold down the workplace
while also moving the saw.
To construct a push stick, refer to the layout shown in Figure 34.
