20. Making a bevel rip cut (Fig. 31)
WARNING
Make sure that the rip fence is on the right side of the
blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing kickback.
Kickback and serious personal injury will result if the rip
fence is placed to the left of the blade.
◌ Remove mitre gauge.
◌ Unlock bevel lock lever.
◌ Adjust bevel angle to desired setting.
◌ Lock bevel lock lever.
◌ Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
◌ Unlock the fence rails lock lever and slide rip fence (4)
to desired distance from blade for cut.
◌ Lock the fence rails lock lever.
◌ Make sure wood is clear of blade before turning on saw.
◌ When ripping a long workpiece, slide the outfeed support
to fully extend.
◌ Turn saw on.
◌ Position workpiece flat on table with edge push against
rip fence (4).
◌ Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece
into blade.
◌ Once blade has made contact with workpiece, use hand
closest to rip fence for guidance. Make sure edge of
workpiece remains in solid contact with both rip fence
and surface of table. If ripping a narrow piece, use push
stick to move piece through cut and past blade.
◌ When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to
come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.
21. Making a compound (bevel) mitre cut (Fig. 32)
◌ Remove rip fence.
◌ Unlock bevel lock lever.
◌ Adjust bevel angle to desired setting.
◌ Lock bevel lock lever.
◌ Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
◌ Set mitre gauge (18) to desired angle and tighten lock
knob (15).
◌ Make sure wood is clear of blade before turning on saw.
◌ Turn the saw on.
◌ Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
◌ Hand closest to blade should be placed on mitre gauge
lock knob and hand farthest from blade should be placed
on workpiece. Feed workpiece into blade.
◌ When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to
come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.
22. Making a large panel cut (Fig. 33)
◌ Slide the outfeed support (22) to fully extend, and place
a support (71) the same height as top of working table
behind saw for cut and add supports to sides as needed.
◌ Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence or mitre
gauge. If panel is too large to use either rip fence or
mitre gauge, it is too large for this saw.
◌ Make sure wood does not touch blade before saw is
turned on.
◌ Turn the saw on.
◌ Position workpiece flat on table with edge flush against
rip fence. Let blade build up to full speed before feeding
workpiece into blade.
◌ Use push stick to move piece through cut and past blade.
◌ When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to
come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.
23. Making a non-through cut
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting
grooves and rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made
using a standard blade having a diameter of 254 mm.
Non-through cuts are the only type of cuts that should be
made without the blade guard assembly and anti-kickback
pawls installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly and
anti-kickback pawls are reinstalled upon completion of
this type of cut.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury when making non-
through cuts, follow all applicable warnings and instructions
listed below in addition to those listed above for the
relevant through cut.
WARNING
When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by
workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to exposed blade
at start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of personal
injury.
WARNING
Never feed wood with hands when making any non-through
cuts such as rabbets. To avoid personal injury, always
use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards.
WARNING
Read the appropriate section which describes the type
of cut in addition to this section on non-through cuts. For
example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut,
read and understand the section on straight cross cuts
before proceeding.
WARNING
Once non-through cuts are completed, remove the battery
pack and reinstall riving knife in uppermost position. Install
anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.
◌ Turn off the saw and remove the battery pack.
◌ Unlock release lever.
◌ Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
◌ Lock release lever.
◌ Remove blade guard (23) and anti-kickback pawls (1).
◌ Set the riving knife (2) in "MIDDLE" position and lock
the riving knife lock knob (41).
◌ Install the battery pack and turn saw on.
◌ Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece
into blade.
◌ Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboard
when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk
of serious injury.
◌ When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come
to a complete stop before removing workpiece.
24. Dust collection (Fig. 34)
This table saw is equipped with a dustshroud and dust
collection port. For best results, connect a vacuum to the
port at the rear of the saw. After extended use, the saw's
dust collection system may become clogged.
To clear the dust collection system:
◌ Turn off the saw and remove the battery pack.
◌ Loosen and remove the screw (72) and flat washer
(73), then open the small baffle (30).
◌ Clean out the excess dust, and push the small baffle in
place, replace the flat washer and screw.
