ADDITIONAL
SAFETY
FOR TABLE
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO
THE INSTRUCTIONS,..
AND UNTIL YOU HAVE
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:
1. GENERAL
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
POWER TOOLS. _. SEE PAGE 2
2, GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW.,, SEE PAGE
2O
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION _., SEE PAGE 23
4. MAINTENANCE
._. SEE PAGE 31
5. STABILITY OF SAW
if there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or
move during certain cutting operations such as
cutting extremely
large heavy panels or long
heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down.
If you attach any kind of auxiliary
table
extensions over 24" wide to either end of the saw,
make sure you either bolt the saw to the bench or
floor as appropriate, or support the outer end of
the extension
from the bench or floor, as
appropriate,
6. LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand
in line with the saw biade,
7. KICKBACKS
A "KICKBACK"
occurs
during
a rip-type
operation when a part or all of the workpiece is
violently thrown back toward the operator
Keep your face and body to one side of the
sawblade, out of line with a possible "Kickback."
Kickbacks -- and possible injury from them -can usually be avoided by:
A Maintaining
the rip fence parallel to the
sawblade,
B Keeping the sawblade
sharp Replace or
sharpen antikickback
pawls when points
become dull
C. Keeping
sawblade
guard,
spreader,
and
antikickback
pawls in place and operating
properly The spreader must be in alignment
with the sawblade and the pawls must stop a
kickback
once it has started. Check their
action before ripping
D, NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or
does not have a straight edge to guide along
the rip fence
E NOT releasing work until you have pushed it
all the way past the sawblade.
F. Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2 to 6
in., and an auxiliary fence and push block for
ripping widths narrower than 2 in. (See "Basic
Saw Operation
Using The Rip Fence"
section )
G NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping
or cross-cutting
H When ripping apply the feed force to the
section of the workpiece between the saw
blade and the rip fence.
8. PROTECTION:
EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS,
BODY
A if any part of your saw is malfunctioning,
has

switch, or other operating control, a safety
device or the power cord.
cease operating
immediately
until the particular
part is
properly repaired or replaced
B Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI
Z87.1, and a face shield if operation is dusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended
periods of operation.
C
Smali loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the rear of the revolving blade can
be thrown back at the operator at very high
speed. This can usually be avoided by keeping
the guard and spreader in place for all thrusawing operations (sawing entirely thru the
work) AND by removing all loose pieces from
the table with
a long stick
of wood
IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off
D,
Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting, or
molding ,-- replace the guard as soon as that
operation is completed
E
For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a
workpiece to which a push stick or push board
is applied must be square (perpendicular
to
the fence) in order that feed pressure applied
to the workpiece by the push stick or block
does not cause the workpiece to come away
from the fence, and possibly cause a kickback
F During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece
must be held down on the table and against
the fence with a push stick, push block, and/or
featherboards A featherboard is made of solid
lumber per sketch

5/I 6" APA_R T

G NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the
workpiece and related feed or support devices
for the operation planned
H NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
t NEVER pface yourfingers or hands in the path
of the sawblade or other cutting tool
J NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with
either hand to hold down or support the
workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any
other reason Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade
or other cutting tool
K. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup
work on the table while the cutting tool is
rotating
L, DO
NOT
perform
any
operation
"FREEHAND"

T Nevergangcrosscutor rip -- lining up more

possible for the operation being performed
Keep all guards in place whenever possible
12_ Do not use any blade or other culling tool
marked for an operating speed less than 3450
RPM. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter
than the diameter for which the saw was
designed. For greatest safety and efficiency
when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade
for which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
13. NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert
is installed
14, NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from
the rear of the saw An accident and serious
injury could result
t5, NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
saw table, orto assist in feeding or supporting or
pulling the workpiece,
DO NOT pull the workpiece
through the
sawblade -- position your body at the nose (infeed) side of the guard: start and complete the
cut from the same side This will require added
table support for tong or wide workpieces that
extend beyond the length or width of the saw
table
16. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination
of operator common
sense and alertness at att times when the saw is
being used

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
REPEATED STALLING OF THE SAW BLADE
WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR.
Always avoid stalling the blade If the motor has
been abused (repeated stalling) and fails to start
(hums), TURN THE SWITCH OFF, ALLOW THE
MOTOR TO COOL, THEN RE-START IT
ALWAYS USE SHARP BLADES A dull blade
requires excessive power and does not produce
quality results
NOTE: The starting
relay is a GRAVITY
SENSITIVE TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER
ON WHILE TH E SAW tS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS
WILL DAMAGE THE MOTOR.
Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers
may result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor
circuit is fused with a fuse other than those
recommended
Do not use a fuse of greater
capacity without consulting the power company°
Although the motor is designed for operation on
the voltage and frequency specified on motor
nameplate, normal loads will be handled safely
on voltages not more than 10% above or below
the nameplate voltage
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at
motor terminals by not tess than the voltage
specified on nameplate
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect
connections,
overloading,
reduced
input voltage (which results when small size wires
are used in the supply circuit) or when the supply
circuit
is extremely
long
Always
check
connection,
load and supply circuit when the
motor fails to perform satisfactorily.
Check wire
sizes and lengths with table at end of this section

While cutting, the material must move in a straight
line PARALLEL to the SAW BLADE
. . therefore
both the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE
must be PARALLEL to the SAW BLADE
If the saw blade is not parallel to the miter gauge
groove, it is said to have "HEEL" This condition can
cause the workpiece to bind or move workpiece

REPETITIVE CUTTING
is cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each
piece
NOTE: When making repetitive cuts from a long
workpiece make sure it is supported
1 NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH
STOP BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD
BIND BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE
CAUSING A KICKBACK
2, When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in,
clamp a block of wood 3 in long to the table to act
as a length stop
CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure
that the end of the block is well in front of the
sawblade, Be sure it is clamped securely.
3. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it
touches the block,,
hold it securely
4 Make the cut , pull the workpiece back _ push
the cut off piece off the table with a long push
stick .. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS
THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS

MITER

CUTTING
TABLE

MITER CUTTING is cutting wood at an angle other
than 90 ° with the edge of the wood Follow the same
procedure as you would for crosscutting
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and
lock it
The miter gauge may be used in either
grooves in the table

TOP VIEW

of the

When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the miter
gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock
knob with your right
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the
workpiece with your right hand and the lock knob
with your left hand

CROSSCUTTING

?

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
is the same as crosscutting except that the wood is cut at an angle
other than 90 ° with the flat side of the wood.

,1

TA!LE

Adjust the blade to the desired angle
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHTof
the blade It cannot be used in the groove to the
LEFT because the blade guard will interfere Hold
the workpiece with your right hand and the Dock
knob with your left hand

COMPOUND

MITER

CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of
miter cutting and bevel crosscutting
The cut is
made at an angle other than 90 ° to both the edge
and the flat side of the wood
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired
angle.
Make sure miter gauge is locked

USING

THE

RIP FENCE

RIPPING,
BEVEL RIPPING,
RESAWING
AND
RABBETING are performed using the RiP FENCE
together
with the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK..

5 Have blade extend approximately
1/8 in above
top of workpiece
Additional
blade exposure
would increase the hazard potential

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE
THE
FOLLOWING
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
ON PAGES 2, 3 and 4.

7 Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of
the path of the blade,,

6 Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case
of a KICKBACK
Stand to either side of the
blade

8 If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting
to free the
blade

1 Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without
using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when
required) because the blade could bind in the
cut and cause a KICKBACK
2. Always lock the rip fence securely

,r

when in use

3. Remove miter gauge from table.

Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut.,
to support long or
heavy workpieces
, to remove small cut-off
pieces
of material
or FOR ANY OTHER
REASONS

10, Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material
from the table. REMOVE them by pushing them
OFF the table with a long stick Otherwise they
could be thrown back at you by the rear of the
blade

4 Make sure blade guard is installed for aft thrusawing
type
cuts.
Replace
the guard
IMMEDIATELY
following
completion
of
resawing,
rabbeting,
dadoing,
or molding
operations

11 Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become TRAPPED inside the blade
guard while the saw is RUNNING, THIS COULD
ENDANGER
YOUR
HANDS
or cause a
KICKBACK,

Frequently
check
the action
of the
ANTtKICKBACK
PAWLS by passing
the
workpiece alongside of the spreader while saw
is OFF

Turn the saw OFF After the blade has stopped
turning, lift the guard and remove the piece,

Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS
do not DtG into the workpiece and HOLD it..
the
pawls
must
be
REPLACED
OR
SHARPENED
See "Maintenance"
section

12, If workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE
side DOWN, This will help prevent it from
rocking while it is being ripped.

WORKPIECE

RIPPING
RIPPING is cutting a piece of wood with the grain, or
lengthwise. This is done using the rip fence,
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and
lock in place

TABLE

k.j

Before starting to rip, be sure
A, Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.
B Spreader is properly aligned with sawbfade
C. Anti-Kickback
pawls are functioning
properly,
D Rip fence knob is tightened to secure the fence to
the table
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP by
measuring the distance from the sawblade

ALWAYS SUPPORT
LONG WORKPIECES

When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS,
always t,_sea work support.
A simple one can be made by clamping
plywood to a sawhorse.

RIPPING

When bevel ripping material 6 in or narrower, use
fence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This will
provide more space between the fence and the
sawblade for use of a push stick if the fence is
mounted
to the left, the sawbtade guard may
interfere with proper use of a push stick

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6 in and WIDER use your
RIGHT hand to feed the workpiece until it is c_ear of
the table,
Use LEFT hand ONLY to guide the workpiece.
not PUSH the workpiece with the left hand

Ldo

27

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2 in, to 6 in, wide USE THE
PUSH STICK to feed the work,

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is NARROWER than 2 in,,
the push stick CANNOT be used because the guard
will
interfere
USE the AUXILIARY
FENCEIWORK SUPI_ORT and PUSH BLOCK
Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work
with two "C" clamps

Support

to rip fence

Feed the workpiece by hand along the AUXILIARY
FENCE until the end is approx, 1 in past the front
edge of the table Continue to feed using the PUSH
BLOCK until the cut is complete.,
Hold the workpiece in position and instalf the PUSH
BLOCK by sliding it on top of the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT (This May Raise Guard)

\
\\

28

FLE

Narrow strips thicker than the Auxiliary Fence/Work
Support may enter the guard and strike the baffle
CAREFULLY raise guard only enough to clear the
workpiece. Use PUSH BLOCK to complete cut.

RESAWING
RESAWlNG is a "thru-sawing"
cut made by ripping
a piece of wood through its thickness
Do not
attempt to res'aw BOWED or WARPED material
NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood it will be
necessary to remove the blade guard _, and use the
AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT. (See "Work
Helpers").
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will
SLIDE EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS
without BINDING between the two fences.
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip
properly Place a small block of wood between the
bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY . . :
1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING)
WHILE RESAWING
BECAUSE THIS COULD
CAUSE A KICKBACK.
2, MAKE FIRST PASS TO A DEPTH SLIGHTLY
LESS THAN ONE-HALF THE WIDTH OF THE
BOARD;
KEEP SAME FACE

RABB!

To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go all
the way through the material Therefore the blade
guard must be removed
1 Remove blade guard
2 For rabbeting along an edge (long way of workpiece) as shown, add facing to rip fence approximately as high as the workpiece is wide Adjust
rip fence and blade to required dimensions; then
make first cut with board flat on table as any rip
(type) cut; make second cut with workpiece on
edge Foitow all precautions, safety instructions,
and operational instructions as for ripping, or rip
type operations, including feather boards and
push stick, etc

RABBETING ALONG
THEEDGE

3 For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 101/2" and narrower make the rabbet cut with the
board flat on the table Using the miter gauge
fitted with a facing, follow the same procedures
and instructions for cross cutting making successive cuts across the width of the workpiece to
obtain the desired width of cut DO NOT use the
rip fence for rabbeting across the end
4, INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION
