TILTING THE BLADE
1. To tilt the saw blade for bevel cutting, loosen the lock
knob (2) and turn the tilting handwheel (3).
2. Tighten the lock knobs (2) to secure.
ON / OFF SWITCH (Fig. V)
The ON / OFF switch has a removal key. With the key
removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous
use by children and others is minimized.
1. To turn the saw ON, lift switch cover (1) and insert the
safety switch key (2) into the slot in the switch. Move
the switch (3) upward to the ON position.
2. To turn the saw OFF, move the switch downward.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end
(or yellow part) of the safety switch key, and pull it
out.
4. With the safety switch key removed, the switch will
not operate.
5. If the safety switch key is removed while the saw is
running, it can be turned OFF but cannot be restarted
without inserting the safety switch key.
OPERATION
Fig. V
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This saw has an overload relay button that resets the
motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage.
If the motor stops during operation, turn the ON / OFF
switch to the OFF position. Wait about five minutes for the
motor to cool, push in on the reset button and turn the
switch to the ON position.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and
crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the
grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece.
Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely
freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
Before using the saw each and every time, check the
following:
1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.
2. The bevel angle lock knob is tight.
3. If ripping, the fence is locked into position & is parallel
to the miter gauge groove.
4. The blade guard is in place and working properly.
5. Safety glasses are being worn.
The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and
those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly
increase the likelihood of injury.
