Identify your cut type (rip or cross cut) and adjust the saw for the correct cutting action.
Load stock into the machine from the left, sliding it along the metal rollers on the base.
Measure for your cut, either using the supplied rulers or by viewing through the dust collection tube for alignment with the blade.
Adjust the tension bar to firmly hold the stock while being cut
Power the saw on and make your cut
Safety Reminders:
Always use the red handles when moving the saw carriage
Never operate the panel saw with any of the guarding removed or damaged
Always cut from the top down for vertical cuts
Always make horizontal cuts in the direction of the arrow on the motor
Beware of all possible pinch points on the saw (counterweight chain, intersection of carriage and guides, saw plate rotation).
Never place your hands behind the carriage or inside the blade guard
Always turn off the saw when your work is done and remain with the saw until the blade has completely stopped spinning.
If you changed anything on the saw (added accessories, modified its cutting position etc..) always return the saw to its standard position before moving on.
If anything seems wrong when using the saw immediately alert a shop supervisor or TA.
Disconnect power to the saw before changing the blade
Never operate the panel saw without proper dust collection
Finishing:
Turn off the saw and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop
