FEATURES
OPERATING COMPONENTS
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table
and is surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The
height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of
the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels, the saw table
has rails on each side. Detailed instructions are provided in
the Operation section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross
cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.
The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts.
A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip
fence and the blade.
It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for
all through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly
includes: riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and plastic blade
guard.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY
See Figure 3.
This saw is equipped with a switch assembly that has a
built-in locking feature. This feature is intended to prevent
unauthorized and possible hazardous use by children and
others.

WARNING:
Always remove the switch key when the tool is

of a power failure, turn the switch OFF ( O ) and
remove the key. This action will prevent the tool
from accidentally starting when power returns.

contact with the blade before operating the
switch to start the tool. Failure to heed this
warning could cause the workpiece to be kicked
back toward the operator and result in serious
personal injury.

To reduce the risk of accidental starting, always
make sure the switch is in the OFF ( O ) position
