RAISING AND LOWERING THE SAW BLADE

(FIG. BB)

Never operate while saw blade rotating.

1. To raise the saw blade, rotate the handwheel (2)

anticlockwise.

2. To lower the saw blade, rotate the handwheel (2)

clockwise.

NOTE: The saw blade height is recommended about

3.2 mm above the top of the workpiece.

TILTING THE SAW BLADE (FIG. BB)

Always lock the saw blade tilt lock handle during

operations.

Loosen the saw blade tilt lock handle (3), move the

hand wheel until the saw blade is at the desired angle

and tighten the saw blade tilt lock handle.

USING THE TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. BB)

NOTE: Raise the fence to a position that just clears the

table surface and secure in place using locking handles

for IN-RIP position.

OPERATION

WARNING

1. Loosen the front and rear cam locking levers (7).

2. Slide the extension table out to the desired position.

3. Loosen the fence locking handles (6), and raise or

lower the fence as needed.

4. Tighten all fence locking handles and cam locking

levers.

MOVING THE RIP FENCE (FIG. BB)

NOTE:

1. The rip fence (5) can be used on either side of the

saw blade.

2. The pointer on the rip fence indicates the distance

between the saw blade and rip fence.

3. To move the rip fence (5), loosen the clamp handle (8)

while pressing the fence bracket against the table

surface and set the desired distance from the saw

blade, retighten the clamp handle.

OPERATING THE MITRE GAUGE (FIG. BB)

NOTE:

1. The mitre gauge (4) can be used on either side of the

saw blade.

2. Because the mitre gauge groove is a T-type slot, to

install the mitre gauge, insert the gauge bar from the

end of the groove.

3. To set the mitre cut angle, loosen the clamp handle,

turn the mitre gauge (4) to the desired angle, retighten

the clamp handle.

RIPPING (FIG. EE)

NOTE:

●

Generally ripping is cutting with the grain.

●

Do not perform ripping “free hand”. Use the rip fence (1)

for ripping and remove the mitre gauge from the table.

●

Push stick (2) is the device used for safely pushing a

workpiece through the blade. To make an additional

push stick, refer to the drawing of the push stick

construction on page 23.

●

A push block (3) has a handle fastened by recessed

screws from the underside. Use it on non-through

cuts. Be sure the screws in a push block are recessed

to avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.

●

Always use a push stick. When width of the rip is

narrow than 50 mm the push stick cannot be used

because the guard will interfere...therefore, use the

auxiliary fence so the push stick can be used.

1. Before ripping, conﬁ rm the following items:

a. Rip fence is securely ﬁ xed and parallel to the

saw blade.

Riving knife is properly aligned with the saw

blade.

c. The workpiece must have a straight edge

against the rip fence and must not be warped,

twisted or bowed.

2. Keep both hands away from the saw blade and

away from the path of the saw blade.

3. The use of push block, push stick and

featherboard are necessary when making non-

through cuts.

1. Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 3.2 mm

above the top of the workpiece.

2. Hold the workpiece ﬂ at on the table and against the

rip fence. Keep the workpiece about 25 mm away from

the saw blade.

3. Turn on the switch and allow the saw blade to come

up to speed.

Fig. EE

WARNING

FEATHERBOARD (FIG. CC, DD)

A featherboard is a device used to help control the

workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or

fence. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping

small workpieces and for completing non-through cuts.

The end is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a

friction hold on the workpiece and locked in place on the

table with C-clamps. Test that it can resist kickback.

Place the featherboard against the uncut portion of

the workpiece to avoid kickback that could cause

serious personal injury.

MAKE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. CC)

Select a solid piece of lumber approximately

19.05 mm thick, 101.6 mm wide and 457.2 mm long. To

make a featherboard, cut one end of the lumber at 60

degrees, then cut the length of 203.2 mm slots 6.35 mm

apart on the angled end as shown in Fig. CC.

Fig. CC

USE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. DD)

1. Lower the saw blade (1).

2. Position the rip fence (2) to the desired adjustment

and lock the rip fence.

3. Place the workpiece (3) against the fence and over

the saw blade area.

4. Adjust the featherboard (4) to resist to the workpiece

forward of the blade.

5. Attached the C-clamps (5) to secure the featherboard

to ht eedge of the table.

5. When perform bevel cross cutting, only work with the

workpiece and mitre gauge on the right side of the

saw blade.

Fig. FF

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. GG)

This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except

the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.

Always work to the right side of the blade during this

type of cut. The mitre gauge (3) must be in the right

side groove (2) because the bevel angle may cause

the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on

the left side groove.

1. Lower the blade to the lowest position.

2. Loosen the blade bevel lock knob and adjust the

blade (1) to the desired angle.

3. Tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4. Raise the blade to the desired height.

NOTE: The maximum cut depth at 45

is 55 mm.

5. Tighten mitre lock handle at 90°.

6. Hold workpiece ﬁ rmly against the face of the mitre

gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.

Fig. GG

WARNING

4. Keep the workpiece against the table and rip fence,

slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way through

the saw blade. Continuously push the workpiece until

it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the

table.

5. When ripping long boards or large panels, always use

an adequate support.

6. When the width of rip is more than 150 mm, feed the

workpiece with one or both hands continuously until it

is beyond the saw blade and riving knife.

Do not push the free piece that is cut off, merely

guide it.

7. When the width of rip 50 mm to 150 mm wide, use

the supplied push stick to feed the workpiece.

8. When perform bevel ripping, only work with the work

piece and rip fence on the right side of the saw blade.

CROSSCUTTING (FIG. FF)

NOTE:

1. Generally cross cutting is cutting across the grain.

2. Do not perform cross cutting “free hand”. Use the

mitre gauge for cross cutting and remove the rip fence

from the table.

1. Before cross cutting, conﬁ rm the following

items:

a. Riving knife is properly aligned with the saw

blade.

b. The workpiece must have a straight edge

against the mitre gauge and must not be

warped, twisted or bowed.

2. Keep both hands away from the saw blade and

away from the path of the saw blade.

1. Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 3.2 mm

above the top of the workpiece.

2. Hold the workpiece ﬂ at on the table and against the

mitre gauge. Keep the workpiece about 25 mm away

from the saw blade.

3. Turn on the switch and allow the saw blade (1) to

come up to full speed.

4. Keep the workpiece (2) against the table and mitre

COMPOUND MITRE CROSSCUTTING (FIG. HH)

This sawing operation is combining a mitre angle with a

bevel angle.

Always work to the right side of the blade during

this type of cut. The mitre gauge (3) must be in the

right side groove because the bevel angle may

cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut

if used on the left side groove. When tilting the

workpiece to 45° and push it toward the blade, the

blade guard may hit the blade. To avoid injury, stop

the work at that time.

1. Set the mitre gauge (3) to the desired angle.

2. Place the mitre gauge (3) in the right side groove (2)

of the table.

3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle

and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4. Hold workpiece ﬁ rmly against the face of the mitre

gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.
