saw while it is in operation.

CRRFTSMRN" TABLESAW315.228590 4

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools

sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-

mance. Follow instructionsfor lubricatingand

changing accessories.

•USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not

force the tool orattachment to doa job itwas not

designed for. Use itonly the way itwas intended.

•DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,

gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, orother

jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into

moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslipfoot-

wear are recommended. Also wear protective

hair coveringto contain longhair.

• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH

SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only

impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety

glasses.

•NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could

occur ifthe tool is tipped or ifthe blade is unin-

tentionallycontacted.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It's safer than using your

hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure yourextension cord isin good condition.

Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the

current you r product will draw. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in

loss of power and overheating. Awire gage size

(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended foran

extension cord 25 feet orless inlength. If in

doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller

the gage number, the heavier the cord.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure

switch isoffwhen plugging in.

REMOVE WRENCHES AND ADJUSTING

KEYS. Get inthe habit of checking - before

turning ontool -that hex keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from tool.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the

tool again, check any damaged parts, including

guards, for proper operationand performance.

Check alignment of moving parts, binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability,

mounting and any other conditions that may

affect its operation. A damaged part must be

properly repaired or replaced by a qualified

service technician at a Sears store or repair

centerto avoid riskof personal injury.

USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right

blade size, style and cutting speed for the

material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should

point downtoward the front ofthe table.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Using

improper accessories may risk injury.

USE ONLY SEARS REPLACEMENT PARTS.

All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical,

should be made by a qualified service technician

at a Sears store or repair center.

•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and ingood working

order. This includes the blade guard, riving knife,

and anti-kickback pawls.

•CHECK DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into

a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation

ofthe blade orcutteronly.

•DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use,

before servicing, orwhen changing attachments,

blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be

disconnected from powersupply.

•DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job

better and more safely at the rate for which it

was designed.

A

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until itcomes to a complete stop.

BEFORE MOUNTING, DISCONNECTING OR

REMOUNTING THE MOTOR; unplug the saw

and remove the switch key.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other

parts may create a hazard or cause product

damage.

NEVER USE THIS TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE

ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor

could ignite fumes.

•MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE

LIGHTING to see the work and that noobstruc-

tionswill interfere withsafe operation BEFORE

performing any work usingthistool.

•DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT

TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches

replaced by a qualified service technician at a

Sears store or repair center.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by

preventing bodycontact withgrounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator

enclosures.

GROUND ALL TOOLS. See Electrical page.

WEAR A DUST MASK to keep from inhaling fine

particles.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing

protection during extended periods of operation.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN-

DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,

OR ANY MEDICATION.

STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.

Watch what you are doing and use common

sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

Do not rush.

AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause

your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS

make sure you have good balance.

ALWAYS SUPPORT LARGE WORK PIECES

while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching

and kickback. Saw may slip, walk or slide while

cuttinglarge orheavyboards,

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can

occur when the blade stalls, driving the work

piece back toward the operator. It can pull your

hand into the blade, resulting in serious personal

injury. Stay out ofthe blade path and turn switch

off immediately if blade binds orstalls.

5 CRAFTSMAN' TABLESAW 315.228590

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

•USE A SUPPORT FOR THE SIDES AND BACK

OF THE SAW TABLE when sawing wide or long

workpieces. Use asturdy"outrigger" support if a

table extensLonis more than 24 inches longand

isattached to the saw, to prevent tipping.

CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR WOOD-LIKE

MATERIALS. Do notcut metal.

NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO

NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the

saw table at a time.

DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE

GUARDS. Never operate the saw withany guard

or cover removed. Make sure all guards are

operating properly before each use.

NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE-

HAND. Always place the workpiece to be cut on

the saw table and position itfirmly against the

fence as a backstop.

USE THE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or

straight edge guide when ripping.

BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure all adjust-

ments are secure.

BE SURE THE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF

NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from

lumber before cutting.

•BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE

WORKPIECE. Never start the saw with the blade

touchingthe workpiece.

•KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.

Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting

path withyour hands and fingers for any reason.

Always turnthe power off.

•USE A PUSHBLOCK OR PUSH STICK for

workpieces so small that your fingers go under

the blade guard. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or

other moving parts during use, for any reason.

_, WARNING: Blade coasts after being turned off.

ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL

SPEED before starting acut to avoid blade

binding orstalling.

ALWAYS PUSH THE WORKPIECE; never pull it

toward the saw.

DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY.

Do notforce the workpiece against the blade.

ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting

it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting

to power supply. NEVER leave the table saw

unattended while connectedto a power source.

BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING

COVERS, GUARDS, OR BLADE; unplug the

saw and remove the switch key.

KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM

OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth

when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,

petroleum-based products, orany solvents to

cleantool.

•KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH

SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize

stalling and kickback.

•USE ONLY OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS.

Use only extension cords withthe marking

"Acceptable for use with outdoorappliances;

store cords indoors while not inuse." Use

extension cords with an electrical ratingnot less

than the saw's rating. Always disconnect the

extension cordfrom the outlet before disconnect-

ingthe productfrom the extensioncord.

•INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION

CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have

repaired by a qualified service technician at a

Sears store or repair center. Stay constantly

aware of cord location and keep it well away

from the moving blade.

DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to

disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from

heat, oil, and sharp edges.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them

frequently and use to instructother users. Ifyou

loan someone this tool, loan them these instruc-

tionsalso.

,_ WARNING: Some dust created by power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known

to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and

other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this type of

work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equipment, such as

those dust masks that are specially designed to

filter out microscopic particles.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CRRFTSMRN" TABLESAW 315.228590 6

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong

grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept

the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a consid-

erable distance from the power source, use an

extension cord heavy enough to carrythe current that

the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will

cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of

power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the

chart provided below to determine the minimum wire

size required in an extension cord, Only round jack-

eted cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL)

should be used.

Length of Extension Cord

Up to 25 feet

Wire Size (A.W.G.)

14

26-100feet 12

When working with the tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord that is designed for outside use. This is

indicated by the letters WA on the cord'sjacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or

exposed wires and cut orworn insulation.

,_ CAUTION: Keepthecordawayfromthecutting

area and position the cord so that itwill not be

caught on lumber, tools,orotherobjecteduring

cuttingoperations.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your Sears Craftsman Table Saw is powered by a

precision built electric motor. Itshould be connected

to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only

(normal household current). It should be connected

to a240 volt power supply only if it has been reset

according to the instructions in this manual. The

motor has been set at the factory for 120 volts; if it is

reconnected to operate at 240 volts, all attachment

plugs and any receptacles must be replaced with

devices rated for 240 volts. Do not operate this tool on

direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will

cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat, If

the saw does not operate when plugged into an

outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of your table saw is approximately

3,600 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases

under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the

wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's horse-

power rating. A line intended only for lights cannot

properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy

enough for a short distance will be too light for a

greater distance. A line that can support one power

tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electriccurrent

to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is

equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug

must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

Do not modifythe plug provided. Ifit will notfitthe

outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer

surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is

the equipment-grounding conductor. Ifrepairor

replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,

do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to

a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel

ifthe grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if indoubt as to whether the tool is

properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immedi-

ately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an

outlet like the one shown in Figure 1. It also has a

grounding pin like the one shown.

WARNING: Instructions are given in the

Assemblysection forchanging the motorvoltage

to 240 volts. Follow them carefully ... Electrical

shock can kill.

OVERVIEW

The upper portion of the blade projects up through the

table, surrounded by an insert called the threat plate.

The height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the

front of the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels,

the tabletop has extensions on each side. Detailed

instructions are provided in the Operation section of

this manual for the basic cuts: cross cuts, miter cuts,

bevel cuts, and compound cuts.

For cuts with the blade straight up and cutting across

the grain (cross cuts or miter cuts), use the miter gage

to set the angle and push the wood into the blade. To

cut with the b_ade straight up, along the grain of the

wood (rip cuts), use the rip fence to guide the wood.

Push smaller pieces with a pushbtock or pushstick.

To tilt the blade for a bevel cut, use the bevel

handwheel on the side of the cabinet. Abevel scale

on the front of the cabinet shows the blade angle.

17 tRRFTSMRW TABLE SAW 315,228590

Inside the cabinet, adjustable positive stops control

the degree of tilt.

Use the miter gage with a bevel cross cut (compound

cut) and the rip fence with a bevel rip cut. Other cuts

require special attachments, which have detailed

instructions to reduce risk of injury and ensure the

best performance from your new saw.

Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself

with all operating features and safety requirements of

your Sears Craftsman table saw. The saw's features

are described below.

ALIGN-A-CUT INSERT - A plastic insert on which

marks may be made to indicate the location of the

sawcut on the workpiece.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in

which the workpiece is thrown back toward the

operator. The toothed pawls are designed to snag the

workpiece to prevent or reduce injury should kickback

occur.

BEVEL HANDWHEEL - This handwheel, on the right

side of the cabinet, tilts the blade for a bevel cut.

BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front

of the workstand shows the exact blade angle.

BLADE -This saw is provided with a Craftsman 40

tooth, 10 in. carbide tipped blade. The blade is

adjusted with bevel and height handwheels on the

cabinet. Bevel angles are locked with a handle below

the front rail.

&WARNING: Be sure to use only blades rated for

at least 5,000 rpm and recommended for use on

this saw. Check with your nearest Sears retail

store.

BLADE COVER - The internal cover contains sawdust

so it can be directed into the sawdust bag.

BLADE GUARD - Always keep the guard down over

the blade for through-sawing cuts.

BEVEL LOCK HANDLE - This handle, placed just

under the worktable surface on the front of the cabi-

net, locks the angle setting of the blade. Be sure the

handle is hanging straight down before tilting the

blade. If it is not straight down, it may jam and bend

the locking bolt.

DUAL VOLTAGE - Your table saw can be set up to

operate at either 120 or 240 volts. Use extreme

caution when changing the voltage.

DUST BAG - Saw dust can be directed into this

detachable bag or into a wet/dry vacuum.

HEIGHT HANDWHEEL - Use this handwheel to lower

and raise the blade for adjustments or replacement. It

is located on the front of the cabinet.

MICRO-ADJUST INDEX - A rip fence gear and track

that provides precise indexing.

MITER GAGE - This gage aligns the wood for a

crosscut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact

angle for a miter cut, with positive stops at 90 ° and

45°.

MITER GAGE GROOVES - The miter gage rides in

these grooves on either side of the blade.

MITER GAGE HOLD-DOWN - A clamp assembly that

fits onto the miter gage to provide additional stability.

MITER GAGE KNOB - Located on the miter gage,

this knob locks in the cutting angle after selection.

MOTOR (13/6.5 AMP) - The powerful induction motor

is 3HP, with capacitor start and V-belt drive, and is

housed in a sturdy steel base.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR - This device switches off

the saw if it overheats. See the Operation section.

RAILS - Front and rear rails provide support for large

workpieces and the rip fence.

RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the

workpiece and is secured with the rip fence handle.

Grooves run along the top and sides of the rip fence

for use with optional clamps and accessories.

MICRO-ADJUST KNOB - The micro-adjust knob on

the front of the rip fence makes fine adjustments to

the desired measurement for precise cutting. Push in

the knob and turn to position the rip fence.

RIP FENCE HANDLE - The handle on the front of the

rip fence releases the rip fence or locks it in place.

RIVING KNIFE OR SPREADER - Located directly

behind the blade, it keeps cut edges from binding and

supports the blade guard.

SCALE - Found on the front rail, the easy-to-read

scale provides precise measurements in rip cuts.

SWITCH WITH KEY - Your table saw has an easy

access power switch located below the front rail. The

yellow switch key must be removed from the hard-

ware bag and inserted into the switch before saw can

be operated. To lock the switch in the OFF position,

remove the switch key from the switch. Place the key

in a location that is inaccessible to children and others

not qualified to use the tool.

TABLE EXTENSIONS - Two removable table exten-

sions provide support for larger workpieces. One is a

cast iron table extension, 12 in. by 27 in. The other is

a larger, mdf table extension, 21-1/4 in. by 27 in.

CRAFTSMAN" TABLESAW 315.228590 18

Assembly is best done in the area where the saw will be used. When you remove the table saw base, loose

parts, and hardware from the packing materials, check all items with the loose parts list and drawing. If you are

unsure about the description of any part, refer to the drawing. If any parts are missing, delay assembling until

you have obtained the missing part(s).

INSTALLING HANDWHEELS ON SAW BASE

See Figure 6.

• Each handwheel bag contains a metal handwheel,

a screw (#10-24 x 1/2 in.), and a lock washer (#10).

• Align the handwheels to the shaft ends that extend

from the front and right side of the table saw base.

Match the flat spots on the shaft and inside the

handwheel. Insert a screw and alock washer in the

TABLE EXTENSIONS

Two different table extensions have been supplied

with your saw; one is made of cast iron and the other

made of MDF material. The cast iron table extension

attaches to the saw table. It must be assembled first.

The MDF table is assembled after assembly of the

front and rear rails. It attaches to the front and rear

rails on the opposite side of the saw table.

The cast iron table should be assembled to the left

side of the saw table when viewing from normal

operating position. The MDF table extension should

be assembled to the right side ofthe saw table when

viewing from normal operating position.

ASSEMBLING CAST IRON TABLE EXTENSION

4 hex nuts (5/16-18)

8 flat washers (5/16 in.)

,_ WARNING: The table extensions not only

provide a better cut on the workpiece but help

protect you. Serious injury can result from

workpiece binding or kickback due to twisted

rails or a misaligned rip fence.

• With the saw upside down, align cast iron table

extension with saw table. Put a flat washer on each

bolt. Attach the table extension to the saw table by

inserting the bolts from the direction of the table.

• Slip the remaining flat washers and hex nuts on the

bolts. Lightly tighten them with a 12 mm wrench.

• Get help to stand the saw assembly upright using

the center saw table. Do not grasp the saw by the

table extension.

,_ WARNING: The saw is very heavy. Do not lift

the saw table without help. Keep your knees

bent and lift with your legs, not your back.

Ignoring these precautions can result in back

injury.

ALIGNING CAST IRON TABLE EXTENSION

See Figure 11.

A good alignment allows the rails to slide on easily.

•Stand at the front of the saw and line up the front

edges of the table and extension.

•To align extension without damaging the table saw,

put a block of wood at the front of the table where

the extension meets the table, and tap the block

with a hammer. Check and repeat untilthe front

BASIC OPERATION OFTHE TABLE SAW

Atable saw can be used for straight-line cutting

operations such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering,

beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. It can

make dado or molding cuts with optional accessories.

The three-prong plug must be plugged into a match-

ing outlet that is properly installed and grounded

according to all local codes and ordinances. Improper

connection of the equipment 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. Obviously, 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 acut

• 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

propedy 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.

• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.

• Use the blade guard assembly for all through cuts.

CUTTING AIDS

See Figure 56.

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 on non-through cuts.

CAUTION: Be sure the screw is recessed to

avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.

PUSHSTICKS

PUSHBLOCKS Fig. 56

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.

_I, WARNING: Place the featherboard against the

uncut portion of the workpiece, to avoid kickback

that could cause serious personal injury.

RESETTING THE THERMAL OVERLOAD

PROTECTOR

See Figure 57.

Your table saw is equipped with an overload protector

to shut off the saw when a power circuit limit is

reached and the motor temperature begins to rise.

Otherwise, overheating can occur and cause poor

performance, machine damage or fire. Be prepared to

deal with overload should it occur, first in the immedi-

ate situation and then in locating the cause.

If the motor overheats, the overload protector shuts

down the power. Use the steps listed below to restarf.

•Turn the switch off to eliminate any possibility of

the blade restarting when the motor has cooled.

Remove any objects, including the workpiece, from

contact with the blade to prevent binding when you

do restart operation.

_i, WARNING: If the overload protector shuts off,

immediately turn the saw switch off and remove

anything contacting the blade to prevent the risk

of injury. When the motor cools off, it could

unexpectedly restart the blade, throwing an

object or cutting your hand if you are touching

the blade.

• Allow time for the motor to cool. You may have to

let the motor cool for as long as it had run before

the protector shut it down.

• While the motor is cooling, refer to the section

below to try to determine the reason for overload.

Correct the problem before resuming operation,

• Press hard on the red button on the end of the

motor (opposite end from the pulley). If the motor

has cooled enough, you will hear a click. If you do

not hear a click, let the motor cool longer.

• When you hear the click, the motor has been reset

and you can continue your project.

CAUSES OF OVERLOAD

Overload and overheating result from a number of

sources. Always check the connections, the load and

the supply circuit if motor performance is not satisfac-

tory. Check wire sizes and length in the chart below.

Refer to the Electrical page and check your work area

for problem conditions such as the following:

• Loose or incorrect connections (see Connecting

the Motor and Changing the Motor Voltage in the

Assembly section)

• Wrong type of plug (use only 3-prong grounding

type) or receptacle (matching receptacle for 3-

prong plug)

• Reduced input voltage (too small a wire or too

many items on the circuit)

• Extension cord is too long or wrong type (use only

outdoor extension cords sized by the chart.)

• Using a dull blade or forcing a cutting operation.

WARNING: Use the correct cord and plug to

prevent overload and motor burnout.

TYPES OF CUTS

See Figure 58.

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 combinations of these basic opera-

tions. 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

avoLd kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one

side of the wood rides firmly against the rip fence.

The rip fence features a micro-adjust knob, which

allows for precise adjustments of the rip fence and

fine tolerances in the woodwork.

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 push stick 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 right 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 straight cross cuts, rip

cuts, bevel cuts, and miter cuts before trying a com-

pound miter cut.

,_ WARNING: All blades and cutting accessories

must be rated for at least 5,000 rpm to prevent

possible injury.
