Note: Make sure the cam foot contacts the cam on the fence lock handle before you place the fence on the rail, otherwise the fence will not lock onto the rail tube. Figure 27. Magnetic Switch Figure 28 Figure 28. Saw Blade Figure 29...
Figure 29. Checking Fence Parallelism Note: It's permissible for the back of the fence to pivot outward not more than being parallel to the blade. This creates a slightly larger opening between the fence and the blade, at the rear of the blade, to reduce the risk of workpiece binding or burning as it is fed through the cut.
Dust Collection DO NOT operate the Model G0690 or G0691 without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

NOTICE Some thin-kerf blades may be thinner than the thickness of the splitter. DO NOT install these blades on the saw, because the workpiece will hit the splitter during opera- tion, possibly causing kickback. Always make sure the kerf of a blade you install is not thinner than the splitter.
NOTICE Some thin-kerf blades may be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife. DO NOT install these blades on the saw, because the workpiece will hit the riving knife dur- ing operation, possibly causing kickback. Always make sure the kerf of a blade you install is not thinner than the riving knife.
Workpiece Inspection Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following: Material Type: Foreign Objects: Large/Loose Knots: Wet or "Green" Stock: Excessive Warping: Minor Warping: Non-Through & Through Cuts Non-Through Cuts Figure 48 Figure 48. Through Cuts Figure 49 Figure 49.

Note: Rabbet cutting requires the use of a sacrifi- cial fence attachment, as shown in Figure 57. Cutting Rabbets with Dado Blade DO NOT use a dado blade larger than 8" in diameter on this saw! Figure 57 Figure 57.
Note: Include marks on the edge of the workpiece to clearly identify the intended cut while it is laying flat on the saw table. The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick- back by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut.
