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 mov-

ing 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.

° Use 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 10-11).

o 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.

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 ot 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 cuttingtool carefully:

-To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel

(broken 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 ctos-

est to the blade.

- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely.

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

sult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.

- Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

• Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

•Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor

must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

-To avoid bums or other fire damage, never use the

saw near flammable licluids, 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

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

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.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using table

saw for hours at a time

° Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the

eyes. This car result in permanent eye damage. Wear

safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI

Z87.1 (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 could seriously 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 ol the workpiece to be cut.

° When cutting irregularly shaped workpleces, 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 wil! not let it twist, rock or slip

while being cut. 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 or atl

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

lently 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 or bind on the blade and kickback.

- Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

Safety Instructions for Table Saw (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 workplace that is longer or wider than the

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

workplace.

•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. Jf 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 workplace and related support

devices off the table.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

•Never pull the workplace 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 the cutting tool with either

hand to hold down, support the workpiece, remove

wood scraps, or for any other reason.

°Avoid hand positions where asudden slip could cause

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

ting tool.

•Oon't Overreach. Always keep good tooting and bal-

ance.

• Push the workplace against the rotation of the blade.

Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear

ot the saw.

• Always push the workplace 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 a possible kick-

back or throwback.

• Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting too! 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

workplace.

Don't force tool.

*Letthe blade reach full speed before cutting.

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

-Feed the workpiece intothe saw only fast enough to let

the blade cut without bogging clown or binding.

Before freeing jammed material.

- Turn switch "OFF".

- Unplug the saw.

- Wait for all mov=ngparts to stop.

oCheck blade, spreader and fence for proper alignment

before starting again.

To avoid throwback of cut off pieces.

°Use the guard assembly.

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.

o Wait for blade to stop spinning.

-Unplug the saw.

oMake workshop chUd-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

Additional Safety Instructions for

Rip Type Cuts

Before starting.

oNever use the miter gauge when ripping.

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

•Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you're inches from the blade,

planning. *When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push

Avoid accidental starting, block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2

-Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw into a inches of the blade.

power outlet. •Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See

Whenever Sawblade Is Spinning "Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Ripping"

section.)

WARNING: 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.

•Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

•When using apush stick or push block, the trailing end

ot 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.)

•Alwaysuse featherboardsfor any nonthrurip type

cuts.

Ko...Abou, ! l

4-1/2 _ 5 -"-I Featherboard

• To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

oBefore fhru-sawing, check the anti-kickback pawls.

(See "Basic Saw Operation - Using The Rip Fence."

The pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.

Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points

become dul!,

•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.

When thru-sawing.

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawbtade 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 when crosscutting.

oAn auxilia_, 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 interferewith the sawblade guard_

- Use jigs or fixtures to hetp 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,

When cutting.

-To avoid blade contact, always hold the miler gauge as

shown in "Basic Saw Operations - Using The Miler Gauge

Blade Guard Alignment

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" x6") of ordinary

newspaper making three thicknesses. The folded

paper will be used as a "spacing gauge".

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 soreader

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

port bracket.

When replacing the guard, slide the spreader down onto

the spreader support bracket with the washers directly

under the wing nut. 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

provided onthe cabinet or legset must be locked

during saw operation. If there is any tendency for

the saw to move or rock during operation, this

must be corrected immediately.

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

should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface

such as a workbench, cabinet or tegset 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 a vacuum hookup to

the base, an opening must be made in the workbench

using the dimensions illustrated, so the sawdust can fall

away from the Saw base area.

Workbench Mounting Using "C" Clamps

An alternative method of securing your table saw is to

fasten the saw base with "C" clamps.

1. Follow instructions for mounting to workbench, substi-

tuting "C" clamps in each recessed mounting screw

Iocalion.

2. Securely clamp saw to workbench using three or 10ur

"C" clamps, as shown.

Supporting surlace where saw is to be mounted should

be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no

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

walking is noted, secure the workbench or cabinet before

operating the table saw.

WARNING: When positioning fence for maximum

rip, make sure end of fence head is even with the

edge of the table. Fence cannot be locked securely

beyond the edge of the table. The workpiece could

bind and kickback.

11. Blade Guard

Use 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 10-11)

To remove the guard for special operation, loosen wrng

nut and slide the spreader up. Do not disturb the setting

of the spreader bracket.

Whe_ replacing the guard, slide spreader down over tile

spreader bracket. Hand tighten wing nut securely.

out the proper insert in place. Use the sawbiade

insert when sawing. Use the dado/molding head

insert when using a dado blade or moldin_l head.

13. Miter Gauge

Head can be locked in desired position for cross cutting

or mitering by tightening the lock knob. Always securely

lock it when in use

Notches are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an

auxiliary facing to make it easier to cut longer pieces. Be

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.

NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so that it

extends to the right of the miter gauge and use the miter

gauge in the groove to the right of the blade.

Work Feed Devices

Belore 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 lixtures. They can

help you make cuts more accurately. By helping to

steady the workpiece and keep you away from the blade,

they can helpyou 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

lixtures. To get you started we've included instructions

for some simple ones. After you have made a fe_- 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. (See drawings

top right for dimensions and shapes.)

Push Block

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

pieces to make apush block. The following steps describe

one way you can make a push block.

Making the base:

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

inches wide or wider and 12 inches long or longer.

-Make two ripcuts. Perform the first ripcut along the

side making a 3/8" wide strip. Next ripcut the 3/8"

plywood to a width of 5-1/8".

•Crosscut the 3/8"plywood to 12" long,

-Crosscut a 2-1/2" piece off the 3/8" wide by 3/8" thick

strip and save this short piece for later.

Before Each Use

Inspect your saw.

= To avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the switch

off. unptuq 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 el moving parts, binding of mow

ing parts, breakage of pads. saw stability and any

othe{ conditions that may affect lhe way tile saw

works

, !I any part is missincL bent or brek_n in any way, or any

electrical part does no! work properly, lure the saw off

and unplug the saw

- Heptace darnaged or missing palls before using the

saw again.

- Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback

pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes

througl_ lhe lop of the workpieceL Make sure lhe 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 tighl and no parts

have any excessive play.

- Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of

checking for and rernoviag keys and adjusting

wrenches from table top before turning it on.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown

pieces (kickbacks or throwbacks)

Inspect your blade.

• Choose the r|ghI blade or cutting accessory for the

matenal and the type of cutting you plan to do.

-Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutolf wheels.

buffing wheels, lhey car_ fly apart explosively.

" Choose arid insuecl your cutting tool carelully:

]-o avoid cutting loci lailure and |brown shrapnel

(broken pieces of blade), use only 10 inch or smaller

blades or ether c|.Jtt|ngt iDOlS marked tar speeds of

5000 rprn or hiqher.

• Always use unbroken balanced blades designed to

fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

-When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade

coffees through lhe workplece top), always use a 10

inch diameter blade. [his keeps the spreader in clos-

est to the blade.

- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely.

- Use only shard blades witl_ properly set teeth. Con-

sult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.

- Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

• Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

°Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor

must not be slippeR/from wax or sawdust.

° To avoid bums 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 a job it was not designed for

Dress for safety.

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jeweh¥

(rings, wrist watches}. ]hey can get caught and draw

you inlo mov|ng parts.

•Wear nonslip footwear.

• Tie back long hair_

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using table

saw for hours at a time.

•Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the

eyes. I his can result in permanent eye damage. Wear

safety goggles tnot glasses) thal comply with ANSI

Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have

only impact resistant lenses. ]hey are not safety

glasses. Safely goggles are available at Sears retail

stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with

ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

• For dusty operalions, 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 irregularly shaped wo|kp|eces, plan your

work so it will nol 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 ]igs or fixtures where needed to

prevent workpiece shifting.

•Use adifferent, better suited type of tool for work that

can't be made stable.

24

Plan your cut.

,To avoid kickbacks and ti_rowbacks - when a part or all

of the workpiece brads on lt_e biade and is thrown vio-

lently back toward the front of the saw:

- Never cut freehand. Always use esther a rip fence,

miter gauge or fixture to position and guide the work,

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

-Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports

• Use extra cautJo_ with large, very" srnatl or awkward

workpieces:

° Use extra suppoMs (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held

down to the table top. Never use anothe_ person as a

substitute Iora table extension, or as additional sup-

pod for a workpiece that is longer or wider than tt_o

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

workpiece,

- Never confine the piece befflg cut off, thai is, the piece

not against the fence, miler gauge or fixture. Never

hoid it, clamp it, touch it, or use lenglh stops against iL

It must be free 1o r'nove. 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 lure 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.

• Never pull the workpiece through. Start and Iinist_

the cut from the front el the table saw.

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

sawblade or other cutting tool.

° Never reach in back of the cutting tool with either

hand to hold down, support the workpiece, remove

wood scraps, or for any other reason.

- Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause

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

ting tool,

• Don't Overreach, Always keep good footing and bal-

ance.

• Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade.

Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear

of the saw.

Always push the workpiece all the way past the saw-

blade.

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

side of the sawbtade, out of line with a possible kick-

back or throwback.

•Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you're

planning,

Avoid accidental starting.

IWARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-]

qaent use of your table saw) cause a careless mis-|

take, Always remember that acareless fraction of a|

second is enough to cause a severe injury. |

•Before actually cutting with the saw, wa';ch it while it

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

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

Unplug lhe saw. Do not rested until finding and cor-

Basic Saw Operations

Using the Miter Gauge

The miter gauge is used when crosscutting, miter cutling,

bevel cutting, compound miter cutting, dadoing and when

rabbeting across the end of a narrow workplece.

I WARNING:' your own safety, always

For 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 help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks.

Attach il to the holes provided. Make the facing long

enough and big enough te 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 lrem the blade.

° Use extra supports such as plywood clamped to a

sawhorse for workpieces that are 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

A crosscut is known as cutting or shaping operation

made across the width of a workplece.

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-

pie, make a trial cut and then recheck it with am accurate

sq uare, 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 lrom side to side

while cutting but keep one side of the bar riding against

one side of the groove.

NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter

gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from

"creeping" while it is being cut.

IWARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback, I

hold miter gauge properly.

When using the miler 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 right 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.

Always Support

Long Workpieces

26

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

because the cutoff piece could bind between the

fence and the blade causing a kickback.

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

workpiece, when clamping the block, make sure

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

blade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

2. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it

touches the block...hold the workpiece securely

against the miter gauge.

3. Make the cut...tum the saw off...rernove 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 workpiece. 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 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.

•When 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...ether than 90°with

the bottom flat side ot the wood.

-Adjust the blade Io the desired angle.

•Always use the miter gauge in the groove to the right

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

because the blade guard will interfere. Hold the work-

piece with your right hand and the lock knob with your

left hand.

27

Basic Saw Operations (continued)

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 edcle and the bottom fiat side of the

wood.

" Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired

angle,..Make sure miter gauge is locked.

- Always usethe miter gauge in the groove to the right

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

because the blade guard will interlere. Hold the work-

piece with yourright hand and the lock knob wilh your

left hand.

Using the Rip Fence

Additional Safety Instructions for Rip Cuts

Before starting:

o 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,

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

"Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Ripping"

section)

•Never rip anything shorterthan 10" long.

• When using apush stick or push block, the trailing end

of the werkpiece must be square, A push stick or push

block against an uneven end could slip ofl or push the

workplace 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-sawtng rip

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

boards for Non Thru-sawing" section')

•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, the

pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.

Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points

become dull.

•Ptastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may

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

quile hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may

not stop a kickback. Therefore. be especially carelul in

your set-up 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.

Ripping

Ripping is known as a cutting operation along the length

of the workpiece.

Position the fence to the desired width of rip and lock in

place.

Before starting to rip, be sure:

1. Rip fence is parallel to sawblade.

2. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade.

3. Anti-kickback pawls are functioning properly.

When ripping long beards or large panels, always use a

work support. A simple support can be made by clamping

a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

Always Support Long

WARNING: To avoid kickback, push forward only I

on the part of the workpiece that will pass between I

the blade and the fence. I

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 lront edge of

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

push block.

29

Basic Saw Operations (continued)

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

cannot be used because the guard will interfere. Use the

auxiliary fence and push block for this ripping operation.

Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps.

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 fence/work support.

This may raise the guard.

Auxiliary Work Support/Fence

I WARNING: To avoid injury from blade

con|a_t

never perform thru-saw cuts narrower than 112

wide.

Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary fence/work sup-

eort may enter the guard and strike the baffle. Carefully

raise guard only enough to clear the workpiece. Use

push block to complete cut.

Push Block'

\

Bevel Ripping

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

the right side of the blade only. This will provide more

space between the fence and the sawbtade 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.

3O

Using Featherboards for Thru-Sawing

Featherboards are not employed for thru-sawing opera-

t_ns when using the miter gauge.

_atherboards are used to keep the work in contact with

_e fence and table as shown, and to help stop kickbacks.

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

fence.

Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown.

IWARNING: 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

kerr and cause a kickback.

Before starting the operation (turn switch "OFF" and

lower blade or cutter below table surface):

•Install featherboards so they exed pressure on the

workpiece; be positive they are securely attached.

•Make sure by trial that the teatherboards 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.

° Adjust your featherboards and repeat the trial, as

needed.

_ ollow the applicable ripping instructions to make thecut.

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 auxil-

iary fence/work support. (See "Workfeed Devices" on

page 2t-22).

Clamp the auxiliary fence/work support to the table so

that the workpiece will 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 gdp 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 "Backup" (reverse feeding) while resaw-

ing because this could cause a kickback.

2. Make first pass to a depth slightly more than

one half the width of the board; keep same face

of board against fence for second pass.

Rabbeting

Rabbeting is known as cutting out a section of the corner

of a piece of material, across an end or along ar] edge.

To make a rabbet requires cuts which do not go a]! the

way through the material. Therefore, the b_ade guard

must be removed.

1. Remove blade guard.

2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of workpiece)

as shown, add facing fo rip fence approxir*natetY as

high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust rip fence and

blade to required dimensions; then make first Gilt with

board flat on table as you would with any rip (type) cut;

make second cut with workplace on edge. Follow all

precautions, safety instructions, and operational

instructions as for dpping, or rip type operations,

including featherboards and push stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2"

and narrower, make the rabbet cut with the board flat

on the table. Using the miter gauge fitted with a faci_g,

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.

• Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw.

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate

inside the saw cabinet and the motor.

•Clean your cutting tools with a gum and pitch remover.

• The cord and the tool should be wiped with a dry clean

cloth to prevent deterioration from oil and grease.

•A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will

help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to

slide more freely.

• If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,

have it replaced immediately.

IMPORTANT: Certain cleaning agents and solvents can

damage plastic paris. Some of these are: gaso ne, car-

bon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammo-

nia and household detergents which contain ammonia.

Avoiding use of these and other types of cleaning agents

will minimize the possibility of damage. Use cleaners

suitable for prescription glasses or liquid dishwashing

detergent and water.
