When
a
spacer block can be placed between
the miter gauge and workpiece, you can
obtain
a
greater miter cutting capacity.
Ripping
CAUTION
When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the sliding table.
.When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support behind the
table. The support should be
at
the same height
as
the table.
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that the antikickback fingers operate
properly. Turn the tool off and unplug
it.
Feed the workpiece under the blade guard and
along both sides of the blade to simulate cutting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each
side by pulling
it
toward you. The antikickback fingers should grab the workpiece and
prevent
it
from moving back toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback fingers
sharp
so
they will operate properly. Keep them sharp by using round -shaped file to
maintain the original shape of the fingers.
@
Adjust the depth of cut
a
bit higher than the thickness of the workpiece.

Tighten the wing bolt to secure the sliding table.

Position the rip fence to the desired
width of rip and lock in place by tighten-

the rear end of the rip fence
is
secured
firmly.
If
it
is
not secured enough,
follow the procedure in "Adjusting rip
fence".

Turn the tool on and gently feed the
