OPERATION
Making the bracket:
• Start with 3/8 in. wood at least 3/8 in. wide or wider and
2-1/2 in. long or longer.
• Cut the piece to shape and size as shown.
Putting it together:
• Fasten the base and handle together with glue and
woodscrews.
WARNING
Make sure the screw heads do not stick
out from the bottom of the base, they must be flush
or recessed.
• Fasten the base and bracket together with glue.
WARNING
To avoid injury, do not use the screws to
fasten the base and bracket.

CROSSCUTTING (FIG. TT)
WARNING
To prevent serious injury:
• 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.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the
blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the
workpiece to a 1 in. distance from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade to come up to full
speed. Never stand directly in line of the saw blade path,
always stand to the side of the blade that you are cutting on.
5. Keep the workpiece (1) against the face of the miter
gauge (2) and flat against the table. Then slowly push the
workpiece through the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning.
Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out
when the blade has completely stopped.

USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(FIG. UU)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short
pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes
Fig. SS
through it and attach it to the miter gauge with screws. Make
sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of
the saw blade guard. When cutting long workpieces,
you can make a simple outfeed
support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.

bevel angle other than 0°.
WARNING
blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge must
be in the right side groove because the bevel angle
may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut
if used on the left side groove.
1. Lower the blade to the down position.
2. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the
blade lock knob.
3. Tighten the miter gauge lock handle (2) at 90°.
4. Hold workpiece (3) firmly against the face of the miter
gauge throughout the cutting operation.
