BEFORE OPERATING

• ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade (W) before operating the switch
to start the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.
• DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result
in serious personal injury.

OPERATING COMPONENTS

• The upper portion of the blade (W) projects up through the table (V) and is surrounded by an insert
called the throat plate (Y). The height of the blade (W) is set with a height adjust wheel (P) on the
bevel adjustment assembly. Detailed instructions are provided in this manual for the basic cuts:
cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.
• The rip fence (T) is used to position work for lengthwise cuts. A scale on the front rail shows the
distance between the rip fence (T) and the blade (W).
• It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for all through-cut sawing operations. The blade
guard assembly includes: riving knife (X), anti-kickback pawls (B), and blade guard (A).
