C A U T I O N
• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw
to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless
fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the
blade.
• Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a
cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious
injury to the user can occur.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the
miter gauge groove on the table.
2. Adjust the blade height so that it is 1/8 in. higher than
the top of the workpiece.
