Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
Connect the saw to a suitable power outlet. Use the green button to turn the saw ON and the red button to turn it OFF. Always ensure the blade has come to a complete stop before leaving the saw unattended.
2. Blade Height Adjustment
The blade height can be adjusted using the hand wheel located on the front of the saw. Rotate the hand wheel to raise or lower the blade to the desired cutting depth. For optimal safety and cut quality, the blade should extend approximately 1/8 inch above the workpiece.

3. Bevel Angle Adjustment (0-45 degrees)
The Garvee Table Saw allows for bevel cuts from 0 to 45 degrees. Loosen the bevel lock knob, adjust the blade to the desired angle using the angle scale, and then securely tighten the lock knob. The rack and pinion system ensures precise angle settings.

4. Using the Rip Fence and Miter Gauge
The rip fence is used for making straight cuts parallel to the blade. Position the fence to the desired width using the scale on the table and lock it securely. The miter gauge is used for making accurate cross cuts and angled cuts. Insert it into the miter slot and adjust to the required angle.
