operation To make a NON-THROUGH cut See Figure 32. 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. DO NOT perform bevel nonthrough cuts on this machine. NOTE: This is the only type of cut that is made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut. DO NOT install dado blades on this machine. Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through 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 non-through cuts are complete: Unplug the saw. Lower the blade and reinstall the blade guard assembly using the two socket head cap screws, lock washers, and flat washers. NON-THROUGH CUT BLADE GUARD REMOVED PUSH STICK WARNING: When making a non-through cut, the cutter is covered by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of serious personal injury. WARNING: Never feed wood with your hands when making any nonthrough cut such as rabbets. To avoid personal injury, always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards. Unplug the saw. Remove the blade guard assembly by removing the two socket head cap screws, lock washers, and flat washers. Set the blade to 0º. Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece. Plug the saw into the power source. Turn the saw ON. Feed the workpiece into the blade. note: Always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards when making non-through cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury. When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the workpiece. Fig. 32 29
