Making a compound (bevel) miter cut
• Remove rip fence.
• Unlock bevel locking lever.
• Adjust bevel angle to desired setting.
• Lock bevel locking lever.
• Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
• Set miter gauge to desired angle and tighten lock knob.
• 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 miter 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.
Making a large panel cut
• Slide the outfeed support to fully extend, and place a support 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 miter gauge. If panel is too large to use either rip fence or miter 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 at on table with edge ush 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.
• 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 at on table with edge ush against rip fence.
• 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.
Dados and other non-through cuts
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves, rabbets and dados. Non-through cuts can be made using a
standard blade having a diameter of 10 inches, or a dado blade up to 13/16 inches wide with a diameter of 8 inches. Non-
through cuts are the only type of cuts that should be made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the
blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.
