The green

in the cord is the grounding
wire. To
avoid electrocution,
NEVER connect
the green
wire to a live terminal.
5. To avoid injury from electrical
shock, make sure
your fingers do not touch the plug's met31 prongs
when plugging
in or unplugging
the saw.
6. To avoid back injury,
get help or use recommended casters when you need to move the saw.
Always get help if you need to lift the saw. Hold
the saw close to your body. Bend your knees so
you can lift with your legs, not your back.
7. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool tips or you accidentally
hit the
cutting tool. Do not store anything
above or near
the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to
reach them.
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. Inspect

your

saw.

a. To avoid injury from accidental
starting, unplug
the saw, turn the switch off and remove the
switch
key before
raising
or removing
the
guard,
changing
the cutting
tool, changing
the setup or adjusting
anything.
b. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions
that may affect the
way it works. If any part is missing,
bent, or
broken in any way, or any electrical
parts don't
work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the
saw.
c. Replace
damaged,
missing,
or failed parts
before using the saw again
d. Use the sawblade
guard, spreader,
and antikickback
pawls for any thru-sawing
(whenever
the blade comes through
the top of the workp,ece). Make sure the pawls work properly.
Make sure the spreader
is in line with the
sawblade.
e. REM©VE

KEYS
AND
WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking
for and
removing
keys and adiusting
wrenches

it on.
f. To avoid injury from jams. slips or thrown pieces
(kickback and throwback):
1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES. Follow the instructions
that come with
the accessories.
Consult the owner's manual

for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
2. Choose the right blade or cutting accessory
for the material and the type of cutting you
plan to do.
3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction
wheels (metal slitting
blades) wire wheels or buffing wheel. They
can fly apart explosively.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown
shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only
8" or smaller blades or other cutting tools
marked for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.
b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades
designed to fit this saw's 5/8" arbor.
c. When thru-sawing, (making cuts where the
blade comes through the workpiece top)
always use a 8" diameter blade. This keeps
the spreader in closest to the blade.
d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to "snug" it securely.
e. Use only sharp blades with properly set
teeth. Consult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.
f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.
5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.
NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.
6. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no
parts have any excessive play.

- For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with the safety goggles.
3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
4. Plan yourcut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROWBACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece
binds on the blade and is thrown violently back
toward the front of the saw:
- Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a rip
fence, miter gauge or fixture to position and
guide the work, so it won't twist, bind on the
blade and kickback.
-Make
sure there's no debris between the
workpiece and its supports.
- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade:
- A piece of molding, for example, must lie
flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not
let it twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use
jigs, fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece shifting.
- Use a different, better suited type of tool for
work that can't be made stable.
- Use extra caution
with large, very small or
awkward
workpieces:
-Use
extra
supports
(tables,
saw horses,
blocks,
etc.)
for any workpieces
large
enough
to tip when not held down to the
table top. NEVER use another person as a
substitute
for a table extension,
or as additional support for a workpiece
that is longer
or wider then the basic saw table, or to help
feed, support
or pull the workpiece.
- Never confine
the piece being cut off. That
is, the piece NOT against
the fence, miter
gauge or fixture.
Never hold it, clamp
it,
touch
it, or use length stops against
it. It
must be free to move. If confined,
it could
get wedged against
the blade and cause a
kickback
or throwback.

- Plastic and composition
(like hardboard)
materials may be cut on your saw. However,
since
these are usually
quite hard and slippery,
the
antikickback
pawls may not stop a kickback.
Therefore,
be especially
careful in your set-up
and cutting
procedures.

4. KEEP CHILDREN
AWAY. All visitors
should
be
kept a safe distance
from
work.
Make
sure
bystanders
are clear of the saw and workpiece.
5. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
6. DON'T FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better
and safer at its designed
rate. Feed the workpiece
into the blade only fast enough
to let it cut
without

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

While cutting
-To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter
gauge as shown in the BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - USING THE MITER GAUGE.

Before starting
- NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting.
- An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter
gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and
throwbacks.
Attach it to the holes provided.
Make the facing long enough and big enough to
support your work. Make sure, however, it will
not interfere with the sawblade guard.
- Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too
small to extend across the full length of the miter
gauge face during the cut. This lets you properly
hold the miter gauge and workpiece and helps
keep your hands away from the blade.

GLOSSARY

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
1. Turn the saw off.
2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.
3. Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow
switch key. Store it away from children and
others not qualified to use the tool.
4. Unplug the saw.

This saw must be grounded
while in use to protect
operator from electrical shock.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded

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
away from the rip fence at the end of a cut, possibly
causing

CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING
is cutting wood across the grain,

of the wood. This is done with the miter gauge and
blade angle set at"0". The graduations
on the miter
gauge provide accuracy
for average woodworking.

is required,

make a trial
