TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS
IF THE WORKPIECE CAUSES YOUR
HAND TO BE IN THE HAZARD ZONE
OF OF THE SAW BLADE, CLAMP THE
WORKPIECE IN PLACE BEFORE
MAKING THE CUT.
1. Before cutting, make certain that the cutting arm
and table are at the correct settings and firmly
locked in place.
2. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp
it firmly against the fence (Fig. 31).
3. For best results, cut at a slow, even cutting rate.
4. Never attempt freehand cutting (wood that is not
held firmly against the fence and table).
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
Multiple or repetitive cut-off operations that result in
small cut-off pieces (one inch or less) can cause the saw
blade to catch the cut-off pieces and project them out
of the machine or into the blade guard and housing,
possibly causing damage or injury.
TO LIMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF
PERSONAL INJURY OR BLADE
GUARD DAMAGE, MOUNT AN
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE ON YOUR
SAW.
Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence (A) Fig. 32. This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight
wood approximately 1/2" thick by 3" high by 20" long.
NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). When bevel
cutting (blade tilted), remove the auxiliary fence.

The tension of the cuttinghead return spring was adjusted
at the factory so that the cuttinghead returns to the “up”
position after a cut has been made. If it becomes neces-
sary to adjust the spring tension:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
Loosen the locknut (A) Fig. 30 and turn the screw (B)
clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease
the spring tension. After adjustment, tighten the locknut
(A).
