Proper Placement Of Hands During the Cutting Process
1. Review Safety warnings at the beginning of the manual before performing any cutting procedure. Keep
all guards in place and in working order.
2. Do not pass hands directly over the Saw Blade (73) when cutting the workpiece. Push the workpiece
into the Saw Blade using a push stick, push block or by holding the workpiece against the Miter Gauge.
Rip Cuts
1. Rip cuts are straight cuts made by sliding the workpiece along the Fence.
2. For pieces longer than 6" hold the workpiece, staying clear of the Saw Blade. For pieces between 2"
and 6", use the included Push Stick (139) or make a push stick as described in the Safety section of this
manual. Use a push block (not included) when ripping widths under 2 IN.
3. When ripping, always use the Fence (121). This improves the accuracy of the cut, and reduces the
chance for Saw Blade binding. Miter Cuts
