F.To avoidinjuryfromjams,slipsorthrownpieces
(kickbackandthrowback):
1. USEONLY"RECOMMENDEDACCESSO-
RIES"(Seepage47). Followtheinstructions
thatcomewiththeaccessories.Usingother
accessoriesmaybedangerous.
2. Choosetherightbladeorcuttingaccessoryfor
thematerialandthetypeofcuttingyouplanto
do.
3. Neverusegrindingwheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buffing wheels. They can fly
apart explosively.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrap-
nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked
for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.
b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades de-
signed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.
c. 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 closest to the blade.
d. Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to "snug" it securely.
e. Use only sharp blades with properly setteeth.
Consult a professional blade sharpenerwhen
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.
2. Keep work area clean
A. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.
B. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
3. Plan your work -plan ahead to protect your eyes,
hands, face, ears.
WARNING: To avoid injury, don't do layout,
assembly, or setup work on the table while the
blade is spinning. It could cut or throw any-
thing hitting the blade.
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for.
B. Dress for safety:
1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
2. Wear non-slip footwear.
3. Tie back long hair.
.
5.
.
Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when
using saw for long periods of time.
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into
the eyes. This can cause permanent eye dam-
age. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that
comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resis-
tant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety
goggles are available at Sears retail catalog
stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance
with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when
they break.
WEAR YOUR
7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with the safety goggles.
C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be cut.
D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-
BACKS -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 guidethe work, so itwon't twist, bind onthe
blade and kickback.
2. Make sure there's no debris between the work-
piece and its supports.
3. When cutting irregularlyshaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade:
a. A piece of molding, for example, must lieflat
or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it
twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or
fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece
shifting.
b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for
work that can't be made stable.
4. Use extra caution with large, very small or
awkward workpieces:
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
blocks, etc.) for anyworkpieces large enough
to tip when not held down to the table top.
NEVER use another person as asubstitute
for atable extension, or as additional support
for a workpiece that is longer or wider than
the basic saw table, or to help feed, support
or pullthe workpiece.
safety instructions for table saw
b. Never confine the piece being cut off, that is,
the pieceNOT against the fence, mitergauge
or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it. touch it, or
use length stops against it. it must be free to
move. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwedged against
the blade and cause a kickback or throw-
back.
c. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.
d. Never turn your table saw"ON" before clear°
ing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
4. Plan the way you wil! push the workplece throug h
ANEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and
finish the cut from the front of the tabb saw.
B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cuthng tool.
C. NEVER reach inback of the cutting toolwith either
hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.
D Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or
other oJtting tool,
E. DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.
F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade, NEVER feed material into the cutting tool
from the rear of the saw.
G Always push the workpiece all the way past the
sawblade.
H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to
one side of the sawblade, out of linewith a possible
kickback or throwback.
I NEVER turn the saw"ON"before clearingthetabte
of al! tools wood scraps, etc., except the work-
piece and related feed or support devices for the
cut planned.
J, AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.
WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPINNING
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your table saw) cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a careless frac-
tion of asecond is enough to cause asevere
injury.
1. 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 fixing
the problem.
2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns
toward the front of the saw.
3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut
you're planning.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept
asafe distance fromwork. 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. Feedthe workpiece intothe
blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging
down orbinding.
7. Before freeing any jammed materiah
A. Turn switch "OFF".
B. Unplug the saw.
C. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for proper align-
ment before starting, again.
8. To avoid throwback of cut off p_eces:
A Use the Guard assembly.
B. To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside
the guard:
1. Turn saw "OFF".
2. Remove switch key
3. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the Guard.
ADDITIONAL _NSTRUCTIONS FOR
RiP TYPE CUTS
1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.
2 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 bebelween 1/2 and 2 inchesof the blade. Never
thru-saw rip cuts narrower than t/2 inch (See
'_ASIC SAW OPERATION -USING THE RIP FENCE"
section.)
3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.
4. When using a Push Stick or Push Btock, the traiting
end ot the board must be square. A Push Stick or
Block against an uneven end coutd stip off or push the
work away from the Fence.
5, A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.
(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP
FENCE.") Always use Featherboards for any non
thru rip type cuts.
24 _i
S/16" APART
BEFORE STARTING
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.
4
2_ Before thru-sawing, check the AntioKickback Pawls.
(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP
FENCE.") The Pawls must stop a kickback once it
has started Replace or stlarpen Anti-Kickback Pawls
when points become duti.
3. 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 espe-
cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures
WHILE CUTTING
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always
push forward on the section of the workpiece between
the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Never push forward
on the piece being cut off.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTOONS FOR
CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS
BEFORE STARTING
1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.
2. An auxiliary wood facing attached [o the Miter Gauge
can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks
Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing iong
enough and big enough to support your work. Make
sure, however, it witl not interfere with the Sawbfade
Guard..
3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too sina!! 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. (See page 32,)
WHILE CUTTING
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - USING
THE MITER GAUGE,"
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
1_ Turn the saw off.
2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.
3. Make workshop child-proof. Lockthe shop Discon-
nect master switches. Remove the yetlow Switch
Key. Store it away from children and others not
qualified to use the too!.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
1. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may
result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is
fusedwith a fuse other than those recommended. Do
notuse a fuse of greater capacity without consulting
the power company.
2. Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
minimal loads will be handled safely at voltages 10%
aboveor below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads,
however, require that voltage at motor terminals be
not less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
3- Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-
rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage
(which results when small size wires are used inthe
supply circuit)orwhen the supply circuit is extremely
long. Always check connection, load and supply
circuitwhen the motor fails to perform satisfactorily.
Check wire sizes and lengths with table atend of this
section.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
THE TABLE INSERT
The table inset must be llushwith the surface of the saw
table to keep the workpiece from hanging up or binding
with the sawblade as the workpiece is cut by the saw-
blade.
1. Lower sawblade beneath the table insert and checkto
be surethe screw fastening the insert in Place is snug.
2. Use a straight edge to check near each of the eight
leveling tab positionsto determine if the insert is flush
with the surface of the saw table at all eight leveling
tab positions.
3. If insert is not flush with table surface, loosen inser_
fastening screw and pull insert forward to lift from saw
table.
4. Bend with pliers or tap with a hammer, as required,
to make the insert flush with the table top.
r
HEELING ADJUSTMENT OR
PARALLELISM OF THE SAWBLAOE TO
THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight line
PARALLELto the SAWBLADE, therefore, both the Miter
Gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be PARAL-
LEL to the SAWBLADE.
WARNING: if the sawblade is NOT parallel with
the Miter Gauge Groove, it is said to have "HEEL'.
This condition can cause the workpiece to bind or
move away from the Rip Fence at the end of arip
cut, possibly causing akickback.
IWARNING: To avoid injury from accide ntai stall,
make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-
nected to power source outlet.
1. Raise blade to highest elevation.
2. Lift Blade Guard, if already installed, to highest posi-
tion.
3. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth of the sawbiade which
is naturally bent to the left.
4. Place the head of acombination square in the left
Miter Gauge Groove and adjust the ruler blade of the
square so that the end of the blade just touches the
14
side of the tooth you marked on the sawblade. Re-
member to keep the head of the square flush against
the Miter Gauge Groove.
5. Rotate the sawblade so that the "X" on the tooth is
now visible at the rear of the saw.
6. Move the combination square to the rear of the saw
and the end of the square blade should just touch the
marked tooth the same as it did at the front of the
sawblade.
.
.
If sawblade is not parallel with the Miter Gauge
Groove, you must adjust the position of the saw-
blade. Use a 3/16 in. hex "L" wrench to loosen the
four adjustment locking screws about 1/2 turn.
Loosen two pan head screws on the rear skirt of the
table about 1/2 turn.
9_ The mechanism under the table can now be moved
sideways from above by covering the sawblade with
a piece of cardboard and shifting the blade to the
right or left as required.
10. After shifting the sawblade mechanism slightly, re-
check the position of the marked tooth of the saw-
blade at both front and rear.
11. The tooth marked on the sawblade should be paral-
lel to the Miter Gauge Groove after adjustment is
made.
12. Tighten all screws carefully so as not to move
sawblade out of alignment.
13. Re-check parallelism of marked sawblade tooth to
the Miter Gauge Groove. Repeat the steps for
heeling adjustment if necessary.

C Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before
using the saw again.
D. Use the Sawbiade Guard, Spreader, and Anti-
Kickback Pawls forany thru-sawing(wheneverthe
blade comes through the top of the workpiece).
Make sure the Pawlswork properly. Make sure the
Spreader is in line with the sawblade.
E REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AN D WRENCHES.
Form habit of checkingfor and removing keys and
adjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.
F To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces
(kickback and throwback):
1. USEONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
(See page 47). Follow the instructions that
come withthe accessories. Usingother acces-
sories may be dangerous.
2 Choose the right blade or cuttingaccessory for
the material and the type of cuttingyou plan to
do
3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buffing wheels. They can fty
apart explosively.
4. Choo se and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrap-
nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked
for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher,
b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades de-
signed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.
c_ 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 closest to the blade.
d. Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to "snug" it securely.
e. Use only sharp blades with property set teeth.
Consult a I_rofessional blade sharpenerwhen
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.
saw eperations
2. Keep work area clean
A. CSuttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.
B. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases
3. Plan your work - plan ahead to protect your eyes,
hands, face, ears.
WARNING: To avoid injury, don't do layout,
assernbny, or setup work on the table while
the blade is spinning, it could cut or throw
anything hitting the blade.
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or
attachment to do ajob it was not designed for.
B. Dress for safety:
1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
2. Wear non-slip footwear.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Roll longsleeves above the elbow.
5. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when
using saw for long periods of time.
6. Any power saw can throw foreign objects into
the eyes. This can cause permanent eye dam-
age. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that
comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resis-
tant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety
goggles are available at Sears retail catalog
stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance
with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when
they break.
WEAR YOUR

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with the safety goggles.
C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreignobjects inthe part of the workpiece
to be cut.
D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW.
BACKS -when a part or all of the workpiece binds
on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.
1. Inspect yourworkpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the part of the work-
piece to be cut.
2. 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.
3. Make sure there's no debris between the work-
piece and its supports.
4. When cutting Irregu_arty shaped workpieces,
p_anyour work so it will not slip and pinch the
Made:
a_A piece of molding, for exampte, must lie fiat
or be held by a fixture or jig that will not ie_:it
twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or
fixtures where needed to prevent wo_kpiece
shifting.
b. Use a different, better suited type of too_for
work that can't be made stable.
5. Use extra caution with large, very srna_ or
awkward workpieces:
a_ Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
blocks, etc.) forany workpieces {arge enough
to tip when not he_d down to the table top.
NEVER use another person as a substitute
for a TaMe Extension, or as additional sup-
port for a workpiece that is longer or wider
than the basic saw tame, or to help feed,
support, or pull the workpiece.
b. Never confine the piece being cut off. That is,
the piece NOT against the Fence, Miter Gauge
or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, toucil 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 throw-
back.
c. Never cut more than one workpiece at atime.
d. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before cleadng
the table or all tools, wood scraps, etc.,
except the workpiece and related feed or
support devices for the cut planned.
4. Plan the way you will push the workpJece through
A NEVER pulJ the workpiece through. Start and
finish the cut from the front of the table saw.
B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting too!.
C. NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with either
hand to hold-down or support tile workpiece, re-
move wood scraps, or for any other reason.
D.Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause tinge rs or hand to
move into a sawblade o r other cutting tool.
E. DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.
F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool
from the rear of the saw.
G.Always push the workpiece all the way past the
sawblade.
H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to
one side of the sawblade, out of line with apossible
kickback or throwback.
I. NEVER turn the saw"ON" before clearing the tabl
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the wor_
piece and related feed or support devices for th
cut planned.
J. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sur
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.
WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPiNNiNG
WARNING: DoWt let familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your table saw) cause a careless
mistake. ABways remember that a careless frac-
t_on of asecond is enough to cause asevere
_njury.
1. Before actuaJly cutting with the saw, watch it while
runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar nois
or vibrates a _ot,stop immediately. Turn the saw ot

basic saw operation -using the miter gauge
The MITER GAUGE IS USED when CROSSCUTTING,
MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING, COMPOUN D MI-
TER CUTTING, DADOING and when RABBETING
AND MOLDING across the end of a narrow workpiece.
WARNING: For your own safety, always observe I
the following safety precautions in addition to the Jsafety instructions on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 36, & 37.
ADDiTiONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS.
Before starting:
1. Never use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.
2. 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.
3. 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.
While cutting:
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in this section.
CROSSCUTTING
Crosscut is known as a cutting or shaping operation
made across the width of aworkpiece.
The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracy
for average woodworking. In some cases where ex-
treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make atrial cut and then re-check it with an
accurate square, or protractor.
If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled
slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space between the MiterGauge Bar andthe
groove inthe table is held to a minimumduring manufac-
turing.
WORKPI ECE
1
I [ itI l
TABLE
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 a piece of sandpapertothe face ofthe Miter
Gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) should be
used on the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
The Miter Gauge may be used in either of the grooves in
the table. Make sure it is locked.
When using the Miter Gauge inthe LEFT hand groove,
hold the workpiece firmly against the Miter Gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your
right.
WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback,
hold Miter Gauge properly.
When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Fence/
Work Support and positionit on top of the Guide Bars to
support the workpiece as near to the end as possible. If AUXILIARYFENCE/
thisdoes notadequately support the workpiece, you can ...........
make a simple support by clamping apiece of plywood
to a sawhorse. See illustration above.
When usingthe RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the Lock Handle with your left
hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
38
REPET_TIVE CUTTING
REPETITIVE cuTrtNG is known as cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each
piece.
1. Use the Stop Rods (optior_al accessory) on{y for
cutting duplicate pieces 6 inches tong and _onger.
2. When making repetitive cuts from a _ongworkpiece,
make sure it is adequately supported.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on
the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
LEFT HAND
REMOVED FOR
AUXILIARY FENCE/
-- WORK SUPPORT
3. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP
BECAUSE THE CUT-OFF PIECE COULD BIND
BETWEEN THE FENCE AND "["HE BLADE CAUS-
ING A KICKBACK.
4. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches,
clamp a block of wood 2 inches tong to the table to act
as a length stop. 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.
CAUTION: Avoid kickback from twisting the
workpiece. When clamping the block, make
sure that the end ot the b_ock is wel_ _nfront of
the sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.
5. Slide the workpiece along the Miter Gauge until gt
touches the block, hold it securely. Use Hold-Down
Clamp _optional accessory} for greater accuracy.
6. Make the cut, pull the workpiece back. turn saw off,
wait for blade to stop and remove cut off piece before
continuing.
MITER CUTTING
MITER CUTTING is known as 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 of the grooves in
the table.
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
_h_n using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the Knob with your left hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

BEVEL C ROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle, 0ther than
90owith the flat side of the wood.
Lower blade to about 2 inches above the table top
before tilting blade. Failure to do this may result in
damage to your saw.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
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 intedere. Hold the work-
piece withyour right hand and the Lock Handle withyour
left hand.
Use the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support for additional
support of the workpiece.
Lay it across the Guide Bars to support the workpiece as
near to the end as possible.

WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.
IARNING: For your own safety, always observe I
the following safety precautions in addition to the
safety instructions on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 36, & 37.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.
2. 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 whe never the fence
must be between 1/2 and 2 inches of theblade. Never
thru-saw rip cuts less than 1/2 inch wide.
3. When using aPush Stick or Push Block, the trailing
end of the board must be square. APush Stick or
Block against an uneven end could slip off or push the
work away from the fence.
4. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.
5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.
Adjust the Miter Gauge and the blade to the desired
angle. Make sure Miter Gauge is locked.

Before starting:
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.
2. 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
dull.
3. 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 espe-
cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures,
While cutting:
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always
push forward onthe section of the workpiece between
the sawblade and the Rip Fence. Never push forward
on the piece being cut off.

Position the Fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and
lock in place.
Belore starting to rip, be sure:
1. Rip Fence is paraflel to sawblade.
2. Spreader is properly a_igned with sawblade.
3. Anti-Kickback Pawls are functior_mg properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS,
always use a work support.
A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse,

When WIDTH OF RIP is 1/2 inch to 2inches, the Push
Stick CANNOT be used because the Guard will inter-
fere. USE the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support and Push
Block.
Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work Support to Rip Fence with
two "C" clamps.
Feed the workpiece by hand along the Auxiliary Fence
until the end is approximately 1 inch 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 Guard).
WARNING: To avoid injury from blade contact, I
never thru-saw cuts narrower than 1/2 inch wide. '1
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.

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR THRU
SAWmNG
Featherboards are NOT employed for thru-sawing op-
erations when using the Miter Gauge.
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with
the Fence and table as shown, and to help stop kick-
backs.
Add 7-1/2 inch Mgh flat facing board tothe Fence, the full
length of the Fence.
Mount Featherboards to Fence and table as shown, so
that leading edges of Featherboards wil! support work-
piece.
WARNING: Make sure the Featherboard against
the edge presses only on the uncut position (in
front of the blade). Btmight othenNise pinch the
blade i the kerr and cause a kickback.
Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and cutter
below tabte surface):
1. install Featherboards so they exert pressure on the
workpiece; be positive they are secure, and
2. Make sure by trial that the Featherboards will stop a
kickback if one should occur.
RESAWaNG
RESAWING is athru-sawing cut made by ripping a piece
of wood through its thickness Do not attempt to resaw
BOWED or WARPED material.
NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider than 3-3/8
inches, it will be necessary to remove the blade guard
and usethe 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 ot 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 becausethis could cause a kickback,
2. Make first pass to a depth slightly more than

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR NON-
THRU SAWING
Featherboards are NOT employed during non thru-
sawing operations when using the Miter Gauge.
USE FEATHERBOARDS FOR ALL OTHER NON THRU-
SAWING OPERATIONS (when Sawblade Guard must
be removed). Featherboards are used to keep the work
in contact withthe Fence and table as shown, and to stop
kickbacks.
Add 7-1/2 inch high flat facing board to the Fence, the full
length of the Fence.
Mount Featherboards to Fence and table as shown, so
that leading edges of Featherboards will support work-
piece until cut is complete, and the workpiece has been
pushed completely past the cutter (sawblade, Dado
Head, Molding Head, etc.) with a Push Stick, as in

LUBRiCATiON AND MAINTENANCE
1. The beadrK:js,in both end shields of the motor, have
been lubricated at the factory with correct lubricant.
No other part of the motor requires lubrication.
2. if disassembly of the motor is necessary, itshould be
returned to your nearest Sears retail or main-order
store in order to prevent voiding the guarantee.
NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated
or changed.
3. Every effort should be made to prevent foreign mate-
riat trom entering the rr_tor. When operated under
conditions likely to permit accumulations of dust, dirt,
or waste within the motor, a visual inspection should
be made at frequent intervals. Accumulations of dry
dust can usually be blown out successfully.
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are
particularly susceptible to the accumulation of saw-
dust and wood chips and should be blown out or
"vacuumed" frequently to prevent interference with
normal motor ventilation.
maintenance
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start,
turn switch "OFF" and remove plug from power
source outlet before maintaining or lubricating
your saw.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw.
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate
inside the saw cabinet and the motor.
Frequently clean your cuttingtools with Craftsman Gum
and Pitch Remover.
Acoat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will
help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to
slide more freely.
It the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
Make sure the teeth of the Anti-Kickback Pawls are
always sharp. To sharpen:
1. Remove Blade Guard.
2. Rotate Pawl toward rear of Spreader so that teeth are
above top of Spreader.
3. Hold Spreader with left hand and place Pawl over

TROUBLESHOOTING -MOTOR
NOTE: Motors used on wood working tools are particularly susceptible to the
accumulation of sawdust and wood chips and should be blownout or 'Vacuumed"
frequently to prevent interference with normal motor ventilation.
TROUBLE
Excessive noise.
rMotor fails to develop
lull power. NOTE:
Low Voltage:
(Power output of
motor decreases
rapidly with decrease
in voltage at motor
terminals. For example,
a reduction of 10% in
voltage causes a
reduction of 19% in
maximum power
output of which the
motor is capable, and
a reduction of 20% in
voltage causes a
reduction of 36% in
maximum power
output.)
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Motor
1. Circuit overloaded with
lights, appliances and other
motors.
2. Undersize wires or circuit
too long.
3. General overloading of
ix)we r company facilities.
(in some sections of the
country, demand for elec-
trical power may exceed
the capacity of existing
f generating and distribution
systems.)
REMEDY
1. Have motor checked by qualified service techni-
cian. Repair service is available at your nearest
Sears store.
1. Do not use other appliances or motors on same
circuit when using the saw.
2. Increase wire sizes, or reduce length of wiring.
See "Motor Specifications and Electrical Require
meres" section.
3, Request a voltage check from the power company.
.incorrect fuses or circuit
breakers in power line.
4. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
