    Use the blade guard assembly for all through cuts.
    CUTTING AIDS
    See Figure 21.
    Pushsticks are devices used for safely pushing a workpiece
    through the blade instead of using your hands. They can be
    made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood to use in
    a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the
    workpiece, with a 90˚ notch in one end and shaping for a grip
    on the other end.
    A pushblock has a handle fastened by recessed screws from
    the underside. Use it on non-through cuts.
    CAUTION:
    Be sure the screw is recessed to avoid damaging the saw
    or workpiece.
    BASIC OPERATION OF THE TABLE SAW
    A table saw can be used for straight-line cutting operations
    such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, and com-
    pound cutting. It can make dado or molding cuts with optional
    accessories.
    The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that
    is properly installed and grounded according to all local
    codes and ordinances. Improper connection of the equip-
    ment can result in electric shock. Check with an electrician or
    service personnel if you are unsure about proper grounding.
    Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit the outlet, have the
    correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the
    Electrical page of this manual.
    Note: This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood
    composition products only.
    CAUSES OF KICKBACK
    Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, kicking
    the workpiece back toward you with great force and speed.
    If your hands are near the sawblade, they may be jerked
    loose from the workpiece and may contact the blade. Obvi-
    ously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth
    using precautions to avoid the risks.
    Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade
    in the wood, such as the following:
    Making a cut with incorrect blade depth
    Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece
    Twisting the wood while making a cut
    Failing to support work
    Forcing a cut
    Cutting warped or wet lumber
    Using the wrong blade for the type of cut
    Not following correct operating procedures
    Misusing the saw
    Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls
    Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade
    AVOIDING KICKBACK
    Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of
    the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 in. to
    1/4 in.
    Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a cut.
    Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never saw into
    a loose knot or nail.
    Always use the rip fence when rip cutting and the miter
    gage when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting the
    wood in the cut.
    Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades. Never
    make cuts with dull blades.
    To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly
    before beginning a cut.
    When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
    force cuts.
    Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
    Always hold your workpiece firmly with both hands or with
    pushsticks. Keep your body in a balanced position to be
    ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never stand
    directly in line with the blade.WARNING:
    Never stand directly in line with the blade or allow hands
    to come closer than 3 inches to the blade. Do not reach
    over or across the blade. Failure to heed this warning can
    result in serious personal injury.
    CUTTING TIPS
    Dado and rabbet cuts are non-through cuts which can be
    either rip cuts or cross cuts. Carefully read and understand
    all sections of this owner’s manual before attempting any
    operation.
    WARNING:
    All blades and dado sets must be rated for at least 5,500
    RPM to prevent possible injury.

    The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be
    wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding.
    Make allowance for the kerf when measuring wood.
    Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the
    measuring line.
    Cut the wood with the finish side up.
    Knock out any loose knots with a hammer before making
    the cut.
    Always provide proper support for the wood as it comes
    out of the saw.
    TYPES OF CUTS
    See Figure 22.
    There are six basic cuts: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut, 3) the
    miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel rip cut, and 6)
    the compound (bevel) miter cut. All other cuts are combina-
    tions of these basic six. Operating procedures for making
    each kind of cut are given later in this section.
    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.
    Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts made across the grain of the
    workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90° angle to the
    blade, and the blade is vertical.
    Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood. To avoid
    kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of the
    wood rides firmly against the rip fence.
    Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the blade
    other than 90°. The blade is vertical. Miter cuts tend to
    “creep” away from the miter fence during cutting. This can be
    controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the
    miter fence.
    WARNING:
    Always use a pushstick with small pieces of wood, and
    also to finish the cut when ripping a long narrow piece of
    wood, to prevent your hands from getting close to the
    blade.
    Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross cuts
    are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are with the
    grain. The rip fence must always be on the left side of the
    blade for bevel rip cuts.
    Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an angled
    blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be thoroughly
    familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, and miter
    cuts before trying a compound miter cut.

    OPERATION
    FEATHERBOARD
    A featherboard is a device used to help control the workpiece
    by guiding it securely against the table or fence. Featherboards
    are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for
    completing non-through cuts. The end is angled, with a
    number of short kerfs to give a friction hold on the workpiece.
    Lock it in place on the table with a C-clamp. Test that it could
    resist kickback.
    WARNING:
    Place the featherboard against the uncut portion of the
    workpiece, to avoid kickback that could cause serious
    personal injury.
    HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD
    See Figure 24.
    The featherboard is an excellent project for your BT3100.
    Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick, 3-5/8 in.
    wide and 18 inches long. Mark the center of the width on one
    end of the stock. Miter one-half of the width to 30° and miter
    the other half of the same end to 45°. See page 28 for
    information on miter cuts. Mark the board from the point at 6
    in., 8 in., 10 in. and 12 in. Drill a 3/8 in. hole at the 8 in., 10
    in., and 12 in. marks as indicated in figure 24. Prepare the
    saw for ripping as discussed on page 28. Set the rip fence to
    allow approximately a 1/4 in. finger to be cut in the stock.
    Feed the stock only to the mark previously made at 6 inches.
    Turn the saw OFF and allow the blade to completely stop
    rotating before removing the stock. Reset the rip fence and
    cut spaced rips into the workpiece to allow approximately
    1/4 in. fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between the fingers.
    HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD
    Remove the adjusting clamp knob, bolt and washer from the
    Miter Fence Holder. Place the bolt through one of the holesin the featherboard. Positioning the featherboard will depend
    on the placement of the bolt and the position of the sliding
    miter table on the rails. Place the washer on the bolt and
    attach the adjusting clamp knob, loosely. Position the
    featherboard with the hex head of the bolt in the miter table
    slot but do not tighten. Completely lower the saw blade.
    Position the rip fence to the desired adjustment for the cut to
    be performed and lock. Place the workpiece against the
    fence and over the saw blade area. Adjust the featherboard
    to apply resistance to the workpiece just forward of the blade.
    Securely tighten the adjusting clamp knob to secure the
    featherboard in place. Attach a C-clamp to further secure the
    featherboard to the edge of the Sliding Miter Table.
    WARNING:
    DO NOT locate the featherboard to the rear of the
    workpiece. Kickback can result from the featherboard
    pinching the workpiece and binding the blade in the saw
    kerf if positioned improperly. Failure to heed this warning
    can result in serious personal injury.

    OPERATION
    TO CHECK, REPLACE OR ADJUST THE RIVING
    KNIFE AND BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY
    The riving knife is mounted between several shims that can
    be relocated as needed to center the knife behind the blade.
    It is held in place by two bolts and hex nuts at its base. The
    bolts are set in slots that permit front-to-back adjustment.
    WARNING:
    Failure to turn the table saw off, remove the switch key,
    and unplug the saw before servicing or working on it could
    result in accidental starting causing possible serious
    injury.
    Lower the blade.
    Remove the throat plate.
    Raise the saw blade by pushing the bevel locking lever  to
    the left and rotating the blade adjustment handle clockwise.
    With blade guard up, make sure the riving knife is placed
    at least 1/8 in. from the outer points of the blade. 
    See
    Figure 29.
     Then make sure it is centered within the width
    of the blade. 
    See Figure 30. If either placement is wrong,
    adjust with the following steps.
    Put the saw in angle mode by moving the bevel locking
    lever to the right. Slowly turn the blade adjusting handle
    until the bevel indicator is at a 30˚ angle. Lock the angle
    by holding the blade adjusting handle with one hand and
    returning the bevel locking lever to the left with the other.
    With the box end of the small hex key, remove the two
    nuts at the base of the riving knife. Remove the riving
    knife/guard assembly.
    Rearrange the riving knife between the shims to achieve
    the correct centering.
    WARNING:
    Properly align riving knife. Improperly aligned riving knife
    can cause blade to bind which will increase risk of
    kickback.
    Adjust the riving knife on the bolts front-to-back as needed
    to place the riving knife approximately 1/8 in. from the
    blade’s outer points. Put the nuts back on and tighten.

    WARNING:
    Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
    working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
    Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
    Move the bevel locking lever to the right for Angle mode.
    Turn the blade adjustment handle until the bevel indicator
    is at the desired angle. Push the bevel locking lever
    securely to the left to lock the angle.
    Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
    Loosen the adjusting clamp on the miter fence. Set the
    miter fence to 90° with either the quick-stop or the miter
    scale.
    Make sure the miter fence will not contact the blade as
    the wood feeds into the blade. Make a trial pass of the
    miter table. The end of the miter fence should not contact
    the blade. Loosen the adjusting clamp to move it away
    from the blade if needed.
    Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind
    the saw for the cut work.
    Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
    on the saw.
    Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
    miter table to feed the workpiece into the blade.
    Hold the work with both hands and push the miter table
    to feed the work into the blade.
    When the cut is made, turn the saw off (      ). Wait for the
    blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
    workpiece.
    TO MAKE A BEVEL RIP CUT
    See Figure 40.
    It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.
    WARNING:
    The rip fence must be on the left side of the blade to avoid
    trapping the wood and causing kickback. Placement of
    the rip fence to the right of the blade will result in kickback
    and the risk of serious personal injury.
    WARNING:
    Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
    working properly to reduce the risk of serious personal
    injury.Fig. 39 MITER FENCE

    OPERATION
    Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece,
    use the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make
    sure the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact
    with both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If
    ripping a narrow piece, use a push stick to move the piece
    through the cut and past the blade.
    When the cut is made, turn the saw off (      ). Wait for the
    blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
    workpiece.
    After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
    stock.
    Grasp the workpiece from the lead end (the end fed into
    the blade first) and carefully remove it from the table.
    TO MAKE A COMPOUND MITER CUT
    This cut is made with both the miter fence and the blade
    angled. Set the miter fence and the blade angle with the
    procedures given earlier.
    The miter fence must be on the left side of the blade. It is
    highly recommended that you test the cut with a piece of
    scrap wood. Become thoroughly familiar with bevel cross
    cuts and miter cuts before attempting to perform a com-
    pound miter cut.
    TO MAKE A LARGE PANEL CUT
    See Figure 41.
    Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface so
    it will not tip over under the weight of a large panel.
    WARNING:
    Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
    working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
    Raise the locking handle on the rip fence to allow the rails
    to move freely.
    Lift off the sliding miter table assembly by raising the miter
    locking clamps to release the grippers.
    Remove the accessory table by swinging out the lever
    and lifting the table up and out.
    Rotate the front rail clamps (under the front rail) to the left
    and slide the front rail to the side where the panel will rest.
    Lock the rail clamps after positioning the front rail.
    Rotate the rear rail clamps (under the rear rail) to the left
    and position the rear rail to support the panel. Align the
    rear rail with the front rail. Lock the rail clamps after
    positioning the rear rail.Place the accessory table onto the rails far enough from
    the blade to help support the panel and lock securely.
    Place the sliding miter table assembly onto the rails and
    lock securely. The miter table can be rotated 180° so the
    projecting base  is at the back of the work surface so you
    wont run into it as you feed the panel into the blade.
    (Tables can be placed on either side of blade.)
    Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade
    for the cut and securely lock the handle.
    Place a support behind the saw for the cut work.
    Make sure the panel is clear of the blade before turning on
    the saw.
    Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the
    workpiece into the blade.Fig. 41 MITER
