LARGE PANEL CUT RIP FENCE SUPPORT WARNING: Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury.  Install featherboard in the appropriate position for the cut being made.  Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw, and on the sides as needed, for the cut work.  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.  Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you turn on the saw.  Turn the saw on.  Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.  Use a push stick to move the piece through the cut and past the blade.  When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece. HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL Fig. 46 37 - English

MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT
See Figure 46.
Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to
avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter gauge
or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious
injury.
Install featherboard in the appropriate position for the cut
being made.
Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw, and on the sides as needed, for
the cut work.
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.
Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you
turn on the saw.
Turn the saw on.
Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
Use a push stick to move the piece through the cut and
past the blade.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
