MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT See Figure 41. Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel. _1= WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid poseible serious injury, • Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supportsto the sides as needed. • Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to use either the rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw. ,_ WARNING: Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter gauge or rip fence), which can result in serious injury. • Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you turn on the saw, Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the wood into the blade. • When the work is completed, press the switch off and remove the key. LARGEPANELCUT RIP FENCE MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT See Figure 42. Non-through cuts can be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut). The use.of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. NOTE: This is the only type cut that is made without the blade guard installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut. Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through or dade cuts. For example= if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding. • UnpJug the saw, • Lower the blade and remove the screw holding the throat plate in place. Remove the throat plate, • Raise the saw blade. • Put the saw in angle mode by pushing the bevel locking lever to the right. Turn the height/bevel adjusting hendwheel until the blade indicator shows a 30 ° angle. Push the bevel locking lever securely to the left to lock the angFe. • Removethe blade guard assembly. • Lower the blade and insert the throatplate, then securely tighten the throat plate screw, • Bring the blade back to 90 °. • Raise the blade to the correct height by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise. NOTE: Carefully check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to assure proper clearance before connecting saw to power source, • Feed the workpiece into the blade. • Always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards when making non-through cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury. HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL ,_ WARNING: When making a non-through cut, the cutter is covered by the workplace during most of the cut, Be alert to the exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of persona] injury.

of the
saw
table
behind the saw
for the cut work.
Add
supportsto
the sides
as needed.
•
Depending
on the shape
of the panel, use
the
rip fence
or miter gauge. If the panel is too large
to
use either the
rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
,_
WARNING:
Never make freehand
cuts
(cuts without
the miter gauge or rip fence), which can result in
serious
injury.
•
Make
sure
the wood
does
not
touch
the blade before
you turn on the saw,
Let
the blade

CUT
See Figure 42.
Non-through
cuts
can be made with the grain (ripping) or
across the grain (cross cut). The use.of a non-through cut
is essential to
cutting
grooves, rabbets, and dadoes.
NOTE: This is the
only
type
cut
that is made without
the blade guard
installed.
Make sure the blade guard
assembly is reinstalled upon completion
of this type of
cut.
Read the appropriate
