Demonstrate you can safely setup the saw and rip a board. You will then proceed to cross cut one of the remaining piece.
Demonstrate you can safely setup the saw and rip a board. You will then proceed to cross cut one of the remaining piece.
1. Ensure that the material you are cutting has at least one straight edge and no nails or foreign objects. The straight edge will slide against the fence when ripping.
2. Measure the width of the board and determine the width of cut.
3. Lift the locking handle on the fence and slide the fence to set the width using the scale. Make sure you use the scale for the correct side of the blade.
4. Lock the fence by pressing down on the locking handle.
5. Use the blade lift handle on the front of the saw to set the height of the blade approximately 1 tooth above the height of the material. Use the material as a gauge.
6. Turn on the power switch on the front of the saw and the dust collector. The green light on the saw will flash and turn solid when the saw has booted.
7. Make sure nothing is touching the blade. Turn on the saw by gently pulling on the paddle switch located on the front of the machine. The paddle switch is also the off switch.
8. Line up the flat side of the material with the fence without touching the blade. The fence is a guide and the material should be pressed firmly into the fence as well as down on the table.
9. Slowly feed the material in towards the blade while keeping your fingers clear of the blade. Use a push stick to keep your fingers away from the blade.
10. Make sure you keep a firm hold on the material and do not stop feeding the material until it has passed beyond the blade.
11. It is helpful to have someone assisting on the back side of the saw to help hold material being fed off the table.
12. When you are done with the saw cut press in on the paddle switch to turn off the saw.
