Jobsite table saw with laser
To turn the saw ON, lift the switch button.
To turn saw Off, press the switch button down.
When the cut is completed, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece or off-cut.
2) rip cut (see s2)
Rip cut is made along the grain of the wood. To avoid
kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of
the wood rides firmly against the rip fence.
- MaKiNG a riP Cut:
Position the rip fence the desired distance from the
blade for the cut and securely lock the handle.
Extend the outfeed support for long work.
for very long work additional support is required, use a
roller stand or ROCKWELL jaWsTaNd
the correct height behind the table.
Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
use a push stick or a push block to move the wood
through the cut past the blade. Never push a small piece
of wood into the blade with your hand; always use a
push stick.
stand to the side of the wood as it contacts the blade
to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur.
Never stand directly in the line of cut.
Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the
workpiece into the blade.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
3) Miter cut (see s3)
Miter cut is cutting the wood at an angle other than 90°.
follow the same procedures as you would for cross cut.
adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle.
4) bevel cut
bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. bevel cross
cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are
with the grain.
4.1) bevel cross cut(see s4)
bevel cross cut is the same as cross cut, except that the
blade is at an angle other than 0°.
adjust the blade to the desired angle with the bevel
locking lever. Tighten the miter locking knob at 90°.
hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter
gauge throughout the cutting operation.
4.2) bevel rip cut (see s5)
bevel rip cut is the same as rip cut, except that the
blade is set to an angle other than 0°.
Note: it is not safe to rip small pieces. instead, rip a
large piece in order to obtain the size of the desired
piece.
5) the compound (bevel) miter cut (see s6)
Compound cut is a combination of miter cut and bevel
cut. The cut is made at an angle other than 90° to both
the edge and the flat side of the wood. adjust the miter
gauge and the blade to the desired angle and be sure
that the miter gauge is locked.
6) large panel cut (see s7)
Note: Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work
surface to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
- MaKiNG a larGe PaNel Cut:
Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw for the cut work. add supports to
the sides as needed.
positioned at depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence
TM
or miter gauge. if the panel is too large to use either the
rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the
wood into the blade.
When the work is completed, press the switch off and
remove the key.
