MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
See Figure 41.
WARNING:
DO NOT install dado blades on this machine. The arbor
shaft has insufficient threads to mount a dado blade.
Mounting a dado blade could result in the risk of serious
personal injury.
Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 in. blade) can be
made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut).
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves.
DO NOT perform bevel non-through cuts on this machine.
This is the only type cut that is made without the blade guard
assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is
reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.
Read the appropriate section which describes the type
of cut in addition to this section on non-through cuts. For
example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read
and understand the section on straight cross cuts before
proceeding.
WARNING:
When making a non-through cut, the blade is covered
by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to
the exposed blade at the start and finish of every cut to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING:
Never feed wood with your hands when making any non-
through cut such as rabbets. To avoid personal injury,
always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
 Place riving knife in "down" position.
 Unlock the bevel locking lever.
 Adjust the bevel angle to 0º.
OPERATION

REMOVED
 Lock the bevel locking lever.
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use either
the rip fence or miter gauge.
 Plug the saw into the power source and turn the saw on.
 Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
 Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards
appropriately when making non-through cuts to reduce
the risk of serious injury.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
Once all non-through cuts are completed:
 Unplug your saw.
 Reinstall the riving knife in the "up" position then install
the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
