Before Each Use:

inspect your saw.

, To avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the switch

off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before

raising or removing the guard, changing the cutting

tool, changing the setup, or' adjusting anything..

*Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any other

conditions that may affect the way the saw works°

*If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any

electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off

and unplug the saw_

= Replace damaged or missing parts before using the

saw again.

oUse the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback

pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes

through the top of the workpiece). Make sure the anti-

kickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader

is in line with sawblade (See page 10-1!)..

° Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts

have any excessive play.

= Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of

checking for' and removing keys and adjusting

wrenches from table top before turning it on.

°Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts

have excessive play.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickbacks or throwbacks):

Inspect your blade.

, Choose the right blade or' cutting accessory for the

material and the type of cuttingyou plan to doe

oNever use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels,

friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or

buffing wheels° They can fly apart explosively.

° Choose and inspect your' cutting toot carefully:

- To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel (bro-

ken pieces of blade), use only t0 inch or smaller

blades or' other cutting tools marked for speeds of

5000 rpm or higher..

- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to

fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

-When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade

comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10

inch diameter blade. This keeps the spreader in clos-

est to the blade°

- Do not over tighten arbor nu[ Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely.

- Use only sharp blades with pmpedy set teeth. Con-

sult a professional blade shar;pener when-in doubt.

-Keep blades clean of gum and resin.. _ "

o Never' use the saw without the proper blade inserL

inspect your' work area.

o Keep work area clean.

° Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor

must not be slippery from wax or sawdust..

*To avoid burns or other fire damage, never usa the saw

near flammable liquids, vapors or gases°

° To avoid injury, don't do layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while blade is spinning. It could cut or

throw anything hitting the blade.

Plan your work

, Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

o Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool or' attachment to

do a job it was not designed for.

Dress for safety

° Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry

(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw

you into moving parts.

, Wear nonslip footwear'. _

, Tie back long hair.

oRoll long sleeves above the elbow.

oNoise levels vary _,idelyo To'avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using table saw

for hours at a time.

oAny power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.

This can result in pei'manent eye damage. Wear safety

goggles (not glasses) that cbmply with ANSI Z87.1

(shown on package) .. Ev"eryday eyeglasses have only

impact resistant led_sSs.They are not safety glasses.

Safety goggles are available at Sears retail stores..

Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1

could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUfl

,For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with

safety goggles.

inspect your workplace.

, Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workplace to be cuL

• When cutting in'egularly shaped workpieces, plan your

work so it will not slip and pinch the blade:

• A piece of molding for example, must tie flat or be held

by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip

while being cuL Use jigs or fixtures where needed to

prevent workpiece shifting.

° Use a different, better suited type of tool for work that

can't be made stable.

Plan your cut.

° To avoid kickbacks and throwbacks - when a part orall

of the workplace bin:dls.or_the blade and is thrown vie-..

lently back toward the front of the saw: _

- Never cut freehan d. _!_yS_ Use either a rip fence,

miter gauge or fixtureto position and guide the work,

so it won't twist or bind bn the blade and kickback_

-Make sure there's no _ebris between the workpiece

and its supports.

Safety Instructions (continued)

• 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 sup-

port for' a workpiece that is longer or wider than 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 iL

It must be free to move. If confined, it could get

wedged against the blade and cause a kickback or

throwback°

• Never' cut more than one workpiece at a time°

• Never turn your' table saw "ON" before clearing every-

thing except the workpiece and related support

devices off the table°

Plan the way you will push the workpiece tht'ough.

.Never' pull the workpiece through. Start and finish

the cut from the front of the table saw.

°Never put your fingers or hands in the path of the

sawblade or other cutting tool.

•Never reach in back of tile cutting tool with either

hand to hold down, support the workpiece, remove

wood scraps, or for any other.reason.

oAvoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause

fingers or hand to move into a sawbtade or other' cut-

ting tool.

-Don't Oveneach._ Always keep good footing and bal-

ance.

o Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade.,

Never' feed material into the cutting toot from the rear

of the saw.

oAlways push the workpiece all the way past the saw-

blade,

o As much as possible, keep your face and body to one

sLde of the sawblade, out of line with a possible kick-

back or throwback..

°Set the cutting too! as low as possible for the cut you're

planning_

Avoid accidental starting.

°Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw into a

power outlet,

Whenever Sawblade Is Spinning:

lWARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless mis-

take. Always remember that a careless fraction of a

second is enough to cause a severe injury,

• Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it

runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or

vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.

Unplug the saw° Do not restart until finding and cor-

recting the problem,

ii ,i ,, ii,

,Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns

toward the front of the saw.

Keep children away

,Keep all visitors asafe distance from the table saw

°Make sure bystanders are clear' of the table saw and

workpiece.

Don't force tool.

•Let the blade reach full speed before Cutting.

° It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate°

, Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let

the blade cut without bogging down or binding_

Before freeing jammed material.

° Turn switch "OFF"°

• Unplug the saw.

oWait for all moving parts to stop_

°Check blade, spreader and fence for' proper alignment

before starting again..

To avoid throwback of cut off pieces.

•Use the guard assemblyv

To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside

the guard.

°Turn saw "OFF".

°Remove switch key

-Wait for blade to stop before lifting the guard.

Before leaving the saw,

•Turn the saw off.

• Wait for blade to stop spinning°

,Unplug the saw.

•Make workshop child-proofo Lock the shop.. Disconnect

master switches_ Remove the yellow switch key. Store

it away from children and others not qualified to use

the tool

Additional Safety Instructions for:

Rip Type Cuts.

Before starting.

• Never use the miter gauge when ripping.

• Use apush stick whenever' the fence is 2or more

inches from the blade.

oWhen thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push

block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2

inches of the blade,

° Never {hru-saw dp cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See

"Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Ripping"

section o)

, Never rip anything shorter than 10" long..

°When using a push stick or push block, the trailing end

of the board must be square, A push stick or block

against an uneven end could slip off or push the work

away from the fence.

°A Featherboard can help guide the Workpiece._(See

"Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for Thru-

Sawing" section..)

*Always use featherboards for any non thru rip type

cuts+

IJI 24'

_,, i _*_=.,_-.=. J==-...=o-

FEATHERBOARDS

•To avoid kickbacks and slips into the. blade, make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

° Before thru-sawing, check the anti-kickback pawls.

(See Basic _.aw Ope_t!o_l :,rU+slr!g3_ne,Rip Fence?'

- The pawls must stop a kickback_once it has started°

Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points

become dullo ++

°Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may

be cut on your saw+ However, since these are usually

quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may

not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially careful in

your setup and cutting procedures.

While thru-sawing.

.To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push forward on

the piece being cut off.+

Additional Safety Instructions For:

Crosscut Type Cuts.

Before starting.

•Never use the rip fence whan crosscutting.

oAn auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter gauge can

help prevent work'piece 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 interferewith the sawblade guard.

oUse 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.

While cutting.

° To avoidblade contact,always ho_ the mitergauge as shown

in "BasicSaw Operations-Using The Miter Gauge".

ately.

Double Insulation

This tool is double insulated to provide a double thick_

ness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical

systern_ All exposed metal parts are isolated from the

internal metal motor components wifh protecting insula-

tion..

WARNING: Double insulation does not take the

place of normal safety precautions when operating

this tool.

DANGER: To avoid electrocution:

1. Use only identical replacement parts when ser-

vicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing

should be performed by aqualified service tech-

nician.

2. Do not expose to rain, use in damp location or

where floor is wet.

This tool is intended for indoor residential use only.

Polarized Plug

Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, tt_is appliance has

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).. This

plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way, If the plug

does not fit fulfy in the outlet, reverse plugo If it still does

not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet.. Do not change the plug in any way.

or fires. If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged

in any way, have it replaced immediately.

i WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, do not permit

fingers to touch the terminals of the plug, when

installing or removing the plug to or from the out-

let.

Motor Safety Protection

IMPORTANT: To avoid motor damage, this motor should

be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust

from interfering with normal motor' ventilation.

1. Connect this tool to a 120v, 15-amp branch circuit with

a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the

wrong size fuse can damage the motor°

2. If the motor won't start, turn the switch "OFF" immedi-

ately_ Unplug The Tool Check the sawblade to make

sure it turns freely. If the blade is freel try to start the

motor again.. If the motor still does not start, refer to the

"Troubleshooting Chart" on page 35.

3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn the

switch "OFF", unplug the tool, and free the blade from

the wood° The motor may now be restarted and the cut

finished

4._Fusesmay "blow"or circuitbreakersmaytrip fre_

quentlyif:

aMotor Is Overloaded. Ovedoading can occur' if you

feed too rapidly or' make too many start/stops in a

short time.

b.Voltages not more than 10% above or below the

nameplate voltage can handle normal loads. For

heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals

must equal the voltage specified on nameplate.

Overload Protection

Your saw features a reset overload relay button. If the

motor stops running or fails to start (due to feed pres-

sure too fast, dull blade or' low voltage), turn switch

"OFF", let the motor cool three to five minutes and

push the reset button, which resets the overload

device and allows you to turn the saw back on.

WARNING: The ON/OFF switch should be in the off

position, and the plug removed from the power

source while the cool down takes place to prevent

accidental starting when the reset button is

pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned

parts or dull blade, Inspect your saw for proper

setup before using it again.

Table of Contents

5, Most motor tmubtes may be traced to loose or incor-

rect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small

size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply

circuit wire.. Always check the connections, the load

and the supply circuit whenever motor' doesn't work

well Check wire sizes and lengttl with the Wire Size

Chart.

Wire Size

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and

is in good condition°

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power, To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over'-

heating and motor burnout, use the table to determine

the minimum wire size (A_W,G,.)extension cord.

IMPORTANT: To work properly, the spreader must

always be adjusted so the cut workpiece will pass on

either'side of the spreader without binding or'skewing to

the side.

NOTE: The spreader' is thinner than the width of the

KERF by approximately six thicknesses of newspaper,

To check if alignment is proper, slide 3 thicknesses of

newspaper between straight edge and spreader:

Readjust if necessary,

1,,Make two folds in a small piece (6" x 6") of ordinary

newspaper' making three thicknesses. The folded

paper' will be used as a "spacing gauge'S

2. Raise blade to maximum height and make sure blade

"is in vertical position (straight up and down) Or at "0°"

blade angle.

3. Lay apiece of straight flat wood or straight edge

against the sawblade,, Insert folded paper between

spreader and wood strip.

4. Make sure the three hex screws are loose enough to

slide spreader bracket and to rotate spreader' support,.

5, Lift the anti-kickback pawl to clear the wood or straight

edge and hold the spreader tightly against the paper

and wood,, Make sure the wood is ,against the saw-

blade,,Tighten the three hex screws.

This will align the spreader in the middle of the cut

(KERF) made by sawblade.

NOTE: To remove the guard for non-through cuts, loosen

the wing nut and slide the guard upward off the spreader

bracket,. Do not disturb the setting of the spreader' sup-

portbracket.

When replacing the guard, slide the spreader' down onto

the spreader support bracket.. Make sure the wing nut is

tightened securely.. This lets you remove and replace the

guard without disturbing the spreader alignment.

Mounting Table Saw to Workbench, Cabinet or Legset

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start,

make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-

nected to power source outlet.

WARNING: To avoid injury from kickback or saw

movement the saw must be properly secured to a

sturdy workbench, cabinet or legset. Casters if pro-

vided on the cabinet or legset must be locked dur-

ing saw operation, if there is any tendency for the

saw to move or'rock during operation, this must be

corrected immed!ately.

If table saw is to be used in a permanent location, it

should be fastened securely to afirm supporting surface

such as aworkbench, cabinet or legsbt using the four'

mounting holes.

Workbench Mounting Using Hardware

When mounting table saw to a workbench and using a

vacuum hookup, holes should be drilled through the sup-

porting surface of the workbench using the dimensions

illustrated

When mounting table saw without avacuum hookup to

the base, an opening must be made in tile workbench

using the dimensions illustrated, so the sawdust carl fall

away from the saw base area..

1. Follow instructions for mounting to workbench, substi-

tutirig "C" clamps in each recessed mounting screw

Iocation_

2. Securely clamp saw to workbench using three or four

"C" clamps, as shown.

Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted should

be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no

movement can occur during use.. If any tipping, sliding or

walking is noted, secure the workbench or cabinet before

operating the table saw.

Cabinet or Legset Mounting Using Hardware

When mounting table saw to a cabinet or tegset and using

a vacuum hookup, holes should be drilled through a 3/4"

thick plywood base using the dimensions illustrated.

When mounting table saw without a vacuum hookup to

the base, an opening must be made in th_ plywood base

using the dimensions illustrated, so the sawdust can fall

away from the saw base area.

WARNING: Never clamp the table saw directly to a l

legset. The saw could fall. You could be badly cut.

Table Saw Mounting and Assembly Procedures

1_Locate the proper hole mounting diagram for your

desired type of table saw mounting.

2_Mark the hole locations and cutout opening if vacuum

is not used. Drill the holes and cutout the area to allow

sawdust to fall away from the base if a vacuum is not

being utilized

Work Feed Devices

Before cutting any wood on your saw. study all of the

"Basic Saw Operations" found on pages 23 through 33

As you learn new table saw woodworking techniques

you'll see that many types of cuts need different support

and feeding devices, known as jigs or fixtures. They can

help you make cuts more accurately By helping to steady

the workpiece and keep you away from the blade, they

can help you safely use,your saw for certain cuts.

Many people custom build their own jigs and fixtures Jigs

and fixtures are often designed for a particular cut.

You can use your table saw to easily make many jigs and

fixtures. To get you started, we've included instructions

for some simple ones. After you have made a few prac-

tice cuts, make up these jigs before starting any projects.

Make the push stick first

Push Stick

Make the push stick using a piece of 1 x 2

Push Block

There are any number of ways to properly cut your work-

pieces to make a push block. The following steps describe

one way you can make a push bfock

Making the base:

• Start with a piece of 3/8 inch plywood at least 5-1/8

inches wide or wider and 14-3/4 inches long or ionger

o Crosscut a 2-1/2 inch wide strip off the narrow end of

the plywood Put the larger piece aside for later.

oCross cut a 3/8 inch wide piece off the end of the 2-1/2

inch wide strip. Put the 3/8 inch wide piece aside for

later

,, Go'back to the piece that is at least 5 1/8" wide or

wider and 12 inches long or longer. Cut it to the size

arid shape shown.

Putting it together

oGlue the 2-1/2 inch strip to the base, as shown:

IMPORTANT: The small piece of wood 3/8 inch x 3/8

inch x 2-1/2 inch should be glued to the plywood Do not

use hales. This is to prevent dulling of the sawblade inthe

event you cut in to the push block.

Making the handle:

• Cut a piece of 3/4 inch thick plywood to shape and

size shown:

NOTE: The mitered corners can be any size that looks

like the drawing°

Safety instructions for Basic Saw Operations

Before Each Use:

Inspect your saw.

o To avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the switch

off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before

raising or removing the guard, changing the cutting

tool, changing the setup, or adjusting anything,

-Check for' alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any other

conditions that may affect the way the saw works.

•If any part is missing, bent or' broken in any way, or any

electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off

and unp ug the.saw.,

"; Replace damaged or missing parts before using the

saw again.

•Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback

pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes

through the top of the wo_piece)., Make sure the anti-

kickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader'

is in line with sawblade (See page 10-11).

oMake sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts

have any excessive play_

. Remove adjusting I_eySand wrenches_ Form a habit of

checking f_r and removing keys and adjusting

wrenches ft'om table top before turning it on.

•Make sure all €iamps and iocks are tight and no parts

have excessive play. " _

"lb avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickbacks or throwbacks).

Inspect your blade.

°Choose_the right blade or cutting accessory for the

material and the type of cutting you plan to do.

•Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels,

friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or

buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively

°Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:

-To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel (bro-

ken pieces of blade), use only 10 inch or smaller

blades or' other cutting tools marked for' speeds of

5000 rpm or higher_

- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to

fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor,

-When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade

comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10

.inch diameter blade. This keeps the spreader in clos- •

....est to the blader,

Db riot 0_,er tighten arbor' nut.. Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely,

- Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth Con-

sult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.

-Keep blades clean of gum and resin..

oNever use the saw without the proper blade insert.,

inspect your work area.

°Keep work area clean.

oCluttered areas and benches invite accidents.. Floor

must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

°To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the saw

near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

°To avoid injury, don't do layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while blade is spinning° It could cut or

throw anything hitting the blade..

Plan your work.

°Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears..

•Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool or' attachment to

do ajob it was not designed for'.

Dress for safety.

,Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry

(rings, wrist watches)° They can get caught and draw

you into moving parts.

oWear nonslip footwear:.

°Tie back long hair.

° Roll longsleeves above the elbow°

o Noise levels vary widely_ To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using table saw

for hours at a time.

o Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.

This can result in permanent eye damage° Wear safety

goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87ol

(shown on package)° Everyday eyeglasses have only

impact resistant lenses.. They are not safety glasses..

Safety goggles are available at Sears retail stores.

Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87_1

couldseriously hurt you when they break..

WEAR YOUR

°For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with

safety goggles.,

Inspect your workpiece.

• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece to be cut,,

• When cutting inegularly 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 s!ip

whilebeing cuL Use jigs or fixtures where needed to

prevent workpiece shifting.,

° Use a different, better' suited type of tool for work that

can't be made stable.

Safety instructions for Basic Saw Operations (continued) ---.

Plan your cut.

* To avoid kickbacks and throwbacks - when a part or all

of the workpiece binds on the blade and is thrown vio-

lently back toward the front of the saw:

-Never cut freehand. Always use either arip fence,

miter gauge or fixture to position and guide the work,

so it won't twist orbind on the blade and kickback.

- Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

°Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces:

o 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 sup-

port for a workpiece that is longer' or wider than the

basic saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the

workpieceo

o Never confine the piece being cut off, that is, the piece

not against the fence, miter gauge or fixtureoNever'

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.

° Never cui more than one workpiece at a time.

o Never' turn your table saw "ON" before clearing every-

thing except the workpiece and related support

devices off the table.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

o Never pull the workpiece through. Start and finish

the cut from the front of the table saw_

oNever put your finger's or hands in the path of the

sawblade or other cutting toot.

oNever reach in back of the cutting tool with either

hand to hold down, support the workpiece, remove

wood scraps, or for any other reason_

=_.Avoidhand positions where a sudden slip could cause

fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other cut-

ting tool..

o Don't Overreach. Always keep good footing and bat-

ance_

-Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade.

Never teed material into the cutting tool from the rear

of the saw

oAlways push the workpiece all the way past the saw-

blade.

°As much as possible, keep your face and body to one

side of the sawblade, out of line with apossible kick-

back or throwback

.Set the cutting tool as lowas possible for the cut you're

planning

Avoid accidental starting.

°Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw into a

power outlet.

Whenever Sawblade Is Spinning:

lWARNING: Don't allow from fre-

familiarity (gained

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless mis.

take. Always remember that a careless fraction of a

second is enough to cause a severe injury,

.Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it

runs for ashort while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or

vibrates a lot, stop Zmmediately Turn the saw off.

Unplug the saw= Do not restart until finding and cor-

recting the problem.

oMake sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns

toward the front of the saw°

Keep children away

•Keep all visitors a safe distance from the table saw

•Make sure bystanders are clear of the table saw and

workpiece.

Don't force tool.

•Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

• It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

•Feed the workpiece into the saw oniy fast enough to let

the blade cut without bogging down or binding_

Before freeing jammed material,

•Turnswitch "OFF".

oUnplug the saw.

Basic Saw Operations

Using the Miter Gauge

The miter gauge is used when crosscutting, miter cutting,

bevel cutting, compound miter cutting, dadoing and when

rabbeting across the end of a narrow workpiece.

IWARNING: For your own safety, always observe the

following safety precautions in addition to the

safety instructions of pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 23 & 24.

Additional Safety Instructions for Crosscutting

Before Starting:

Never use the rip fence when crosscutting..

•An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter gauge

can hetp 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 hetp hold arty 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.

• Use extra supports such as plywood clamped to a

sawhorse for workpieces that ar_ long and heavy

enough to tip or that tend to raise the miter gage from

the groove in the table, never use another person as a

substitute for a support or to help feed or' pull the work-

piece.

While cutting:

• To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter gauge as

shown in this section.

Crosscutting

Acrosscut is known as cutting or shaping operation

made across the width of aworkpieceo

The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for

average woodworking In some cases where extreme

accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for'exam-

ple, make atrial cut and then recheck it with art accurate

square, or protractor.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled

slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the

groove in the table is held to a minimum during manufac-

turing.

For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge,

always favor one side of the groove in the table. In other

words, don't move the miter gauge from side to side while

cutting but keep one side of the bar riding against one

side of the groove.

NOTE; Glue apiece of sandpaper to the face of the miter

gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from

"creeping" while it is being cut.

WARNING; To avoid blade contact or kickback, I

hold miter gauge properly. •.I

When using the miter gauge in the left hand groove, hold

the workpiece firmly against gauge head with your left

hand, and grip the lock knob with your right hand.

When using the miter gauge in the dght hand groove,

hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock knob

with your left hand.

Miter' gauge head is locked in position for crosscutting or

mitering by tightening the lock knob, Always lock it

securely when in use.

Holes are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an

auxiliary facing to make it easier to cut long pieces. Make

sure facing does not interfere with the proper operation of

the sawblade guard.

Select a suitable piece of smooth straight wood, drill two

holes through it and attach it with screws,.

Long Workpieces

-Basic Saw Operations (continued)

Repetitive Crosscutting

Repetitive cutting is known as cutting a quantity of pieces

the same length without having to mark each piece.

• When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece,

make sure it is supported,

WARNING" Never' use the rip fence as a length stop I

because the cutoff piece could bind between the i

fence and the blade causing a kickback. J

1. When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of wood 3"

long to the table at desired length to act as a length

stop,,

IWARNING: To avoid kickback from twisting the I

Iworkpiece, when clamping the block, make sure l

Ithat the end of the block is well in front of the saw-

Iblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

2. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it

touches tire btock.o.hold the workpiece securely

against the miter gauge,

3. Make the cut...tum the saw off_xemove the piece after

the blade has stopped and before cutting the next piece_

Miter Crosscutting

Miter' cutting is an angle cutting operation made across

the width of the workpieceo Follow the same procedure as

you would for crosscutting.

• Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.

oThe miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves

in the table. Make sure it is locked,

• 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 hand.

oWhen using the miter gauge in the right hand groove,

hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock

knob with your' left hand.

Bevel Crosscutting

Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except

that the wood is also cut at an angle.o.other than 90° with

the bottom flat side of the wood.

oAdjust the blade to the desired angle,

•Always use the miter gauge inthe groove to the right of

the blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the left

because the blade guard will intedere. Hold the work-

piece with your right hand and the lock knob with your

left hand

i, .ILl .....

Compound Miter Crosscutting

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 bottom flat side of the

wood.

Adjust the miter gauge and tile blade to the desired

angle_,oMake sure miter' gauge is locked.

oAlways use the miter' gauge in the groove to the right of

the blade. It cannot beused in the groove to the left

because the blade guard will interfere.. Hold the work-

piece with your' right hand and tile lock knob with your

left hand

Using the Rip Fence

Additional Safety Instructions for Rip Cuts

Before starting:

• Never use the miter gauge when ripping

• Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade.

• When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push

block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2

inches from the blade_

o Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 .inch. (See

"Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Ripping"

section).

o Never rip anything shorter than 10'Uong.

oWhen using a push stick or push block, the trailing end

of the workpiece must be square. A push stick or push

block against an uneven end could slip off or push the

workpiece away from the fence,.

=A featherboard can help guide tile workpiece_ (see

"Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for Thru-

Sawing.," section)

° Always use featherboards for' any non thru-sawing rip

type cuts. (see "Basic Saw Operations-Using Feather-

boards for Non Thru-sawing" section)

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade,

° Before thru-sawing, check the anti-kickback pawls., the

pawls must stop a kickback once it has started°

Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points

become dullo

oPlastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may

be cut on your saw_ However, since these are usually

quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may

not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially careful in

your set-up and cutting procedures.

While Thru-sawing: :,

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips ir_to the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawblade and the rip fence,, Never push forward on

the piece being cut off.

Keep your hands out of the blade path. •

Feed the workpiece by pushing forward only on the part

of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the

fence.

Stop the thumb of your' outside hand at the front edge of

the table. Finish the cut with the appropriate push stick or

push block°

Width of Rip

When"width ef rip" is narrower than 2", the push stick

cannot be used because the guard wilt interfere° Use the

auxiliary fence and push block for' this ripping operation.

Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps_

Auxiliary Work Support/Fence

Feed the workpiece by hand along the auxiliary fence

until the end is approximately 1" past the front edge of the

table° Continue to feed using the push block.

Hold the workpiece in position and install the push block

by sliding it on top of the auxiliary fencelwork support.

This may raise the guard..

Push B

IWARNING: To avoid injury from blade contact]

never perform thru-saw cuts narrower than 112"

wide.

Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary fence/work sup-

port may enter the guard and strike the baffle. Carefully

raise guard only enough to clear the workpiece. Use

push block to complete cut.

Baffl

Bevel Ripping

When bevel ripping material 6" or narrower, use fence on

the right side:of the blade onlyo This_will provide mere

space between the fence and the sawblade for use of a

push stick.. If the fence is mounted to the left, the saw-

blade guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.

Basic Saw Operations (continued) ............................

Using Featherboards for Thru-Sawing

Featherboards are not employed for thru-sawing opera-

tions when using the miter gauge,

Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with

the fence and table as shown, and to he!p stop kickbacks_

Add a 7-1/2" high flat facing board to the full length of the

fencer

Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown.

WARNING: Make sure the featherboard against the

edge presses only on the uncut portion (in front of

the blade). It might otherwise pinch the blade in the

kerf and cause a kickback.

Before starting the operation (turn switch "OFF" and

lower blade or cutter below table surface):

• install featherboards so they exert pressure on the

workpiece; be positive they are securely attached.

. Make sure by trial that the featherboards will stop a

kickback if one should occur' before performing this

operation,.

Before starting your cut:

• Slide the workpiece in between the featherboards the

same way you'll feed it in for the cut°

• Pull back on the workpiece. The piece should be

harder to pull back than it was to push forward.

o Adjust your featherboards and repeat the trial, as

needed.

o Fellow the applicable dpping instructions to make the

cut

Resawing

Resawing is a thru-sawing cut made by ripping a piece of

wood through its thickness.

WARNING: Do not attempt to resaw bowed or

warped material, it can't be properly supported. It

could kickback or bind.

NOTE: To resaw a piece of wood wider than 3", it will be

necessary to remove the blade guard and use the auxit-

"i'ary fence/work support_ (See "Workfeed Devices" on

page 21-22)°

Clarnp the auxiliary fence/work support to the table so

that the workpiece wilt slide easily without binding

between the two fences and it will not tilt or' move side-

ways,

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 andthe "G" clamp.

WARNING: For your own safety ,

1. Do not "Backup" (reverse feeding) while resaw-

ing because this could cause a kickback.

2. Make first pass to adepth slightly more than one

half the width of the board; keep same face of

board against fence for second pass,
