Do not stand directly in front of the blade in
case of a throwback (small cut-off piece caught
by the back of the blade and thrown toward the
operator). Stand to either side of the blade.
Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of
the path of the blade.
If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn the
switch off before attempting to free the blade.
Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
work piece through the cut, to support long or
heavy workpieces, to remove cut-off pieces of
material, or for any other reason.
Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material
from the table. Remove them by pushing them
off the table with a long stick, otherwise they
could be thrown back at you by the rear of the
blade.
Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material
that are close to or may become trapped inside
the barrier guard while the saw is running. This
could endanger your hands or cause a kickback.
Turn the saw off. After the blade has stopped
rotating, lift the guard and remove the piece.
If the workpiece is warped, place the concave
side down. This will help to prevent it from
rocking while it is being cut.
The graduations on the miter gauge provide
accuracy for average woodworking. In some
cases where extreme accuracy is required,
when making angle cuts, for example, make a
trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square or protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be
swiveled slightly to compensate for any
inaccuracy.
REPETITIVE CUTTING (FIG. 34)
Repetitive cutting is cutting a quantity of pieces
the same length without having to mark each
piece.
When making repetitive cuts from a long
workpiece, make sure it is supported.
WARNING
cut-off piece could bind between the fence
and the blade causing a kickback.
a. When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of
wood 3" long to the table at the desired length
to act as a length stop.
Never use the rip fence as
a length stop, because the

TIP: The space between the miter gauge bar
and the groove in the table is held to a minimum
during manufacturing. For maximum accuracy
when using the miter gauge, always "favor" one
side of the groove in the table. In other words,
don't move the miter gauge from side to side
while cutting but keep one side of the bar riding
against one side of the groove.
TIP: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of
the miter gauge head. This will help prevent the
workpiece from "creeping" while it is being cut.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the
grooves in the table. Make sure it is locked.
When using the miter gauge in the left-hand
groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the
miter gauge head with your left hand, and grip
the lock knob with your right hand.
When using the right-hand groove, hold the
workpiece with your right hand and the lock
knob with your left hand.
