COMPOUND MITER CUTS
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and
mitering. Refer to Figure 28 and follow the instructions
for both bevel crosscutting and mitering. Remember to
use the right miter slot for all bevel cuts.
LARGE PANEL CUTS
Place workpiece supports at the same height as the
saw table behind saw to support the cut workpiece,
and alongside (s) of saw, as needed. Depending on
shape of panel, use rip fence or miter gauge to control
workpiece. If a workpiece is too large to use either a rip
fence or a miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
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 less, or a dado blade up to 13/16 inch wide
with a diameter of 8 inches or less. 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.
When making non-through cuts, follow all applicable
warnings and instructions listed below in addition to
those listed above for the relevant through cut.
When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by
workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to exposed
blade at start and finish of every cut.
Never feed wood with hands when making any
non-through cuts such as rabbets or dados. Always
use miter gauge, push blocks or push sticks, and
featherboards where appropriate.
Read the appropriate section which describes the
type of cut in addition to this section on non-through
or dado cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a
straight cross cut, read and understand the section on
straight cross cuts before proceeding.
Once all dado and non-through cuts are completed,
unplug saw and reinstall riving knife or return it to
raised position. Install anti-kickback pawls and blade
guard.
Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any
specialized blades such as dado blades and molding
cutters for proper installation, set up and operation.
MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
1. Unplug saw.
2. Unlock release lever.
3. Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
4. Lock release lever.
5. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
6. Place riving knife in “lowered” position. (see RIVING
KNIFE HEIGHT SETTINGS Section on page 20)
7. Set blade to correct depth for workpiece. See
instructions below for use of Dadoes and other
specialized blades.
8. Depending on shape and size of wood, use either
rip fence or miter gauge.
FIGURE 28
9. Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.
10. Let blade build up to full speed before moving
workpiece into blade.
11. Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or
featherboards when making non-through cuts to
reduce the risk of serious injury.
12. When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade
to come to a complete stop before removing
workpiece.
If a deep dado cut is required, use several successive
passes rather than attempting to make it with one pass.
