THROUGH CUTS

WARNING:
Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when
making these cuts to avoid possible injury.
WARNING:
Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls
may not always be effective.
WARNING:
DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result
in personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the rip fence during
any rip cut, and hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge during any miter cut.
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt compound miter cuts, with blade beveled and miter fence angled, until you are
thoroughly familiar with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here.
WARNING:
Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without miter gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result
in serious injury.
WARNING:
Never make through cuts without the blade guard in place. Failure to
heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
