ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS
WARNING: FOB YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS...AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING,
1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
TOOLS.,. SEE PAGE 2
2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW.,. SEE PAGE 15
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION.., SEE PAGE 17
4. ADJUSTMENTS... SEE PAGE 24
5. MAINTENANCE...SEE PAGE 27
6. STABILITY OF SAW
If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move
during certain cutting operations such as cutting
extremely large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the
saw should be bolted down.
If you attach any kind of table extensions over 24"
wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either bolt
the saw to the bench or floor as appropriate, or support
the outer end of the extension from the bench or floor,
asappropriate.
7. LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the
saw blade.
8. KICKBACKS
A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation
when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back
violently toward the operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade,
out of line with a possible "Kickback.'"
Kickbacks - and possible injury from them -- can
usually be avoided by:
A. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the sawblade.
B. Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replacing antikickback
pawls when points become dull.
C. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawls in place and operating properly. The spreader
must be in alignment with the sawblade and the
pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Check their action before ripping.
D. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
E. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all the
way past the sawblade.
F. Using a "PUSH STICK" {See Page 18) for ripping
widths of 2 to 6 in., and an auxiliary fence and push
block for ripping widths narrower than 2 in. (See
"Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence"
section.)
G. NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or
crosscutting.
H. When ripping apply the feed force to the section of
the workpiece between the saw blade and the rip
fence.
9, PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FADE, EARS, BODY
A. If any part of your saw is malfunctioning, has been
damaged or broken.., such as the motor switch, or
other operating control, a safety device or the
power cord.,, cease operating immediately until
the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
B. WRar safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1,
and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear
plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.
C. Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that
contact the rear of the revolving blade can be
thrown back at the operator at excessive speed. This
can usually be avoided by keeping the guard and
D,
E,
F_
spreader in place for all "THRU-SAWING"
operations (sawing entirely thru the work) AND by
removing all loose pieces from the table with a long
stick of wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut
off.
Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting, or
molding - replace the guard as soon as that
operation is completed.
For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a
workp[ece to which a push stick or push board is
applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence)
in order that feed pressure applied to the workpieee
by the push stick or block does not cause the
workpiece to come away from the fence, and
possibly cause a kickback.
During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must be
beld down on the table and against the fence with a
pusb stick, push block, or featherboards. A
featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.
I-* 24"- ÷1

G. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the
workpiece and related feed or support devices for
the operation planned.
H. NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
I. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
J. NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with
either hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid
awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move
into a sawblade or other cutting tool.
K. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
L. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" -
always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to
position and guide the work.
M. NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting or the
miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT use the rip
fence as a length stop.
Never hold onto or touch the "free end" of the
workpiece or a "free piece" that ls cut off, while
power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating.
N. Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord
when removing the table insert, changing the
cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade guard,
or making adjustments.
O. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
P, Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials
may be cut on your saw. However, since these are
usually quite hard and slippery, the antikickbaek
pawls may not stop a kickback.
Q. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece,
turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the
sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is
parallel to the miter gauge grooves and if the
spreader is in proper alignment with the sawblade.
If ripping at the time, check to seeif the rip fence is
parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.
R. DONOTremovesmallpiecesof cut-offmaterial

hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and
wait until blade stops.
S. Useextra care when ripping wood that has a twisted
grain or is twisted or bowed - it may rock on the
table and/or pinch the sawblade.
10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpened or set
cutting tools can cause materia_ to stick, jam, stall
the saw, or kickback at the operator.
Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool
and machine maintenance.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE
SAW OFF.
B, Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels,
friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or
buffing wheels.
11. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS
SAW,
12. Crosscuttingoperations are more conveniently worked
and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is
attached to the miter gauge using the holes provided.
However, the facing must not interfere with the proper
functioning of the sawblade guard.
13. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in normal operating
position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting
tool as low as possible for the operation being
performed. Keep all guards in place whenever possible.
WEAR YOUR
14. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for
an operating speed less than 3450 RPM. Never use a
cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for
which the saw was designed. For greatest safety and
efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
15. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER
Operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.
16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear
of the saw. An accident and serious injury could result.
I7. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the saw is being used.
18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.
DANGER
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
READ AND UNDERSTAND OWNER'S MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE:

TIMES
2. USE SAW-BLADE GUARD FOR "THRU-SAWlNG"
3. KEEP HANDS OUT OF PATH OF SAWBLADE
4. USE A "PUSH-STICK" WHEN REQUIRED
5. KNOW HOW TO AVOID "KICKBACKS"
6. DO NOT PERFORM OPERATIONS "FREEHAND"
7. NEVER REACH AROUND OR OVER SAW BLADE
19. WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY
(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR SAW)
TO BECOME COMMONPLACE -- ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A
SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE
INJURY.
20, NOTE; Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use the arbor
wrench to just "snug" it.
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety gogglescomplying

4. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
with a fuse other than those recommended, Do not use
a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power
company,
5. Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the maneplate voltage.
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor
terminals by not less than the voltage specified on
nameplate.
6, Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (which results when small size wires are used in
the supply circuit) or when the supply circuit is
extremely long. Always check connection, load and
supply circuit when the motor fails to perform
satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table at
end of this section.

CHECKING BLADE SQUARENESS TO TABLE
IMPORTANT: BLADE must be SQUARE (90° )to
TABLE, in order to proceed with assembly.
To check for blade squareness, refer to "BLADE TELT, OR
SQUARENESS OF BLADE TO TABLE" adjustments on
page 25.
NOTE: The Combination Square must be "TRUE" -See
start of "Unpacking and Checking Contents section on page
6 for checking method.
CHECKING BLADE FOR HEEL
IMPORTANT: Saw blade MUST be parallel to miter gauge
groove.
To check for parallelism, refer to "HEELING
ADJUSTMENT OR PARALLELISM OF BAWBLADE TO
MITER GAUGE GROOVE" adjustment on page24.
CHECKING BLADE ELEVATION
Maximum depth of cut MUST NOT EXCEED TWO AND
ONE HALF (2-1/2 INCHES. This adiustment is set at the
factory and should be checked to make sure that it has not
changeddue to rough handling during shipment.
MAKE SURE SQUARE

\
With the blade up ashigh asit will go, measure the distance
from the top of the table to top of the highest saw tooth. If
it is more than two and one half (2-1/2) inches, adjust it at
this time. Refer to "BLADE ELEVATION" adjustments on
page26.

IS USED.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGES 2,3, and 4.
1. Never make, these cuts freehand (without using the
miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) bebause the
blade could bind in the cut and causeaKICKBACK or
causeyour fingers or hand to slip into the blade.
2. Always lock the miter gaugesecurely when in use.
3. Remove rip fence from table.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all "THRU-
SAWING" operations (when sawblade cuts entirely
thru the thickness of the workpiece.) Replace guard
IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing, molding
or rabbeting cuts.
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential. 17
6. Do not stand direcUy in front of the blade in case of a
THROWBACK (Small cut-off piece caught by the back
of the blade and thrown toward the operator). Stand to
either side of the blade,
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.
8. If blade stalls or stops while cutting', TURN SWITCH
OFF before attempting to free the blade.
9. Oo not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut.., to support long or heavy
workpieces . ,.to remove cut-off pieces of material or
FOR ANY OTHER REASON,
10. DOnot pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with along stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
11, Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
become TRAPPED insid_ the blade guard while the saw
is RUNNING, THIS COULO ENDANGER YOUR
HANDS or cause a KICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF, After the blade has stopped turning,
llft the guard and remove the piece.
WORK HELPERS
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operations"•
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like the
Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxiliary Fencewhich
you canmake yourself.
After you have made a few practice cuts, make these
"helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "Push
Stick" first.
PUSH STICK
PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the Push Stick using a piece of 1 x 2, or rip one from
awide board, say 11-1/2 in. wide, and set the rip fence
9-7/8 in. from the sawblade.
Make the Push Block using a piece of 3/8 in. and 3/4 in.
plywood•
The small piece of wood 3/8 in. x 3/8 in. x 2-1/2 in. should
be GLUED to the plywood ... DO NOT USE NAILS, This
is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you
mistakingly cut into the push block.
Position the handle in the center of the plywood and fasten
together with glue and wcodserews.

CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across the
grain, at 90 °. or square with both the edge and the flat side
of the wood. This is clone with miter gauge set at "O".
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking. In some cases where extreme
accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example,
make atrial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square, or protractor,
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightJy
to compensate for any inacurracy.
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.
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: GJue apiece of sandpaper to the face of the miter
gauge head. This will help.preyent the workplace 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 in the LEFT hand groove, hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, end grip the lock knob with your right•

You can make asimole support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse

When cutting long workpieces, invert the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, and position it on top of the
guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as
possible. If this does not adequatPly support the workpiece.
you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of

REPETITIVE CUTTING
REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.
1. Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting
duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.
2. Follow all safety precautions and operation instructions
for cross cutting.
When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make
sure it is adequately supported.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gaugefor greater accuracy,
1. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE ASA LENGTH STOP
BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD BIND
BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE CAUSING
A KICKBACK.
2. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in., clamp a
block of wood 2 in. long 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 clamps will not grip
properly. Place esmall block of wood between the
bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamps.
CAUTION; When clamping the block, make sure that
the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be
sure it is clamped securely.
3. Slide the workpiece along the mRer gauge until it
touches the block ... hold it securely or clamp it with
the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory).
4. Make the cut ...pull the workpiece back ... push the
cut off piece off the table with along push stick... DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD

MITERCUTTING
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than 90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same
procedureas you would for crosscutting.
Adjust the miter gauge to the desiredangle, and lock it.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the groovesin 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 right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lock knob with your left
hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gaugefor greater accuracy.
BEVEL CROSSCUTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle...other than
90 ° with the flat sideof the wood.
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 interfere. Hold the workpiece with
your right hand and the lock knob with your left hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter
cutting and bevel crosscutting, The cut is made at an angle
other than 90 ° to both the edge and the flat side of the
wood.
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired angle .,
• Make sure miter gauge is locked,
USING THE RIP FENCE
RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWlNG AND
RABBETING are performed using the RIP FENCE together
with the AUXILIARY FENCE, PUSH STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGES 2, 3, and 4.
1. Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the
rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because
the blade could bind in the cut and cause a
KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
3. Remove miter gauge from table.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-sawing
type cuts. Replace the guard IMMEDIATELY following
completion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding
operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTIKICKBACK
PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the
spreader while saw is OFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you, If the PAWLS do
not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it... the pawls
must be SHARPENED. See "Maintenance" section.
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential.
6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a
KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the blade.
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.
8. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpieee through the cut.., to support long or heavy
workpieces . . . to remove small cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw
is RUNNING, THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR
HANDS or cause aKICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF, After the blade hasstopped turning,
lift the guard and remove the piece.
20
RIPPING
RIPPING is know as cutting apiece of wood with the grain,
or lengthwise. This is clone using the rip fence.
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and lock
in place,
Before starting to rip, be sure
A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblacle.
B. Spreader is properly aHgnecl with sawblade.
C. Antikickback pawls are functioning properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDSor LARGE PANELS, always
use awork support.
Asimple one can be made by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse.
BEVEL RIPPING
When bevel ripping material 6 in. or narrower, use fence on
the right side of the blade ONLY. This will provide more
space between the fence and the sawblade for use of apush
stick. If the fence is mounted to the left, the sawblade
guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6 in. end WIDER use your
RIGHT hand to feed the workpiece until it is clear of the
table.
Use LEFT hand ONLY to guide the workpiece ... do not
FEED the workpiece with the left hand.
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2 in. to 6 in. wide USE THE
PUSH STICK to feed the work.
When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than 2 in., the push
stick CANNOT be used because the guard will interfere...
USE the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and
PUSH BLOCK.
Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work Support to rip fence with
two "C" clamps.
AUXILIARY FENCE.,/
WORK SUPPORT
21
Feed the workpiece by hand along the AUXLIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT until the end is approx. 1in.
past the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the
PUSH BLOCK.
Hold the workpiece in position and instal_ the PUSH
BLOCK by sliding it on top of the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT (this may raise guard).
BAFFLE
Narrow strips thicker than the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support guard only enough to clear the workpiece. Use PUSH BLOCK
may enter the guard and strike the baffle. CAR EFULLY raise to complete cut.
RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripplng a piece of wood through
its thickness. Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or
WARPED materiel. NOTE: to RESAW a piece of wood
wider than 2-1/2 in .... it will be necessary to remove the
blade guard . . .and use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT (See Page 19 )
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE
EASILY (but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS) without
BINDING between the two fences.
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamps will not grip properly.
Place a small block of wood between the bottom edge of
the table and the "C +'clamps.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY...
1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE
RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A
KICKBACK.
2. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF THE RESAWING OPERATION.
CUTTING PANELS
AUXILIARY FENCE/
WORK SUPPORT
When cutting panels (whenever fence is positioned outside
of table surface), ALWAYS use the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WOR K SUPPORT,
1. Unlock fence and raise rear end,
2. Position AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT as
shown and attach it with two "C" clamps.
22
PLOUGHING AND MOLDING
PLOUGHING is grooving with the grain the long way of the MOLDING is shaping theworkpiecawith the grain the long
workpiece, using the fence. Use faatherboards and push way of the workplace, using the fence. Use featherboards
sticks as required, and push sticks as required.
PLOUGHING MOLDING
RABBETING
RABBETING is known as cutting out e section of the
corner of-a piece of material, across an end or along an
edge.
To make aRABBET requires cuts which do not go all the
way through the material. Therefore the blade guard must
be removed.
.
2.
Remove blade guard.
For rabbeting along an edge (long way of workp|ecel as
shown, add facing to rip fence approximately as high as
the workpiece is wide. Adjust rip fence and blade to
required dimensions; then make first cutwith board flat
on table as any rip (type) cut; make second cut with
workpiece on edge. Follow all precautions, safety
instructions, and operation instructions as for ripping,
or rip type operations, including featherboards end
push stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10.1/2"
and narrower make the rabbet cutwith the board flat on
the table. Using the miter gauge fitted with a facing
follow the same procedures and instructions for cross
RABBETING ALONG
THE EDGE RABBETING ACROSS
THE END
cutting making successive cuts across the width of the
workpiece to obtain the desired width of cut. DO NOT
use the rip fence for rabbeting across the end.
4. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON COM-
PLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION,
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the workplace
over the cutter using the dado head or molding head.
DADOING
Instructions for operating the Dado Head are contained in
booklet furnished with the Dado Head.
The recommended Dado Head is listed, under
recommended Accessories.
The arbor on the saw, is only long enough so that the
widest cut that can be made is 13/16" wide.
When installing the dado hesd on the arbor, ALWAYS
install the inside "loose collar" first.
It is not necessary to install the outside loose collar before
screwing on the arbor nut. Make sure the arbor nut is tight.
ALWAYS USE DADO INSERT LISTED UNDER
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
When using the dadoing head it will be necessaryto remove
the Blade Guard and Spreader, Use miter gauge and follow
same procedures and instructions for cross cutting.
ALWAYS REPLACE THE BLADE GUARD AND
SPREADER WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED DADOING.
When using the moJding head it will be necessary to remove
the Blade Guard and Spreader. USE CAUTION. Use

23
USING FEATHERBOARDS
Add 8 inch high flat facing board to the fence, the full
[ength of the fence.
Use featherboards for all non "thru-sawfng" operations
{when sawblade guard must be removed). Featherboards are
used to keep the work in contact with the fence end table
as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown, so that
leading edges of featherboards will support workpiece until
cut is complete, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter (sawblede, dado head, molding
head, etc.) with apushstick, asin ripping,
Before starting the operation Iswitch '*OFF" and cutter
below table surface) :
(a) Install featherboards so they exert pressure on the
workpiece; be positive they are secure,and
(b) Make sure by trial that the featherboards wig stop a
kickback if one should occur.
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-sawing
operations when using the miter gage.
Replace the sawblade guard as soon as the non thru-saw[ng
operation is complete.

MITER GAUGE
NOTE: The graduations on the miter gauge provide
accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an
accuratesquareor protractor.
If necessary,the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inaccuracy,
The HEAD should be SQUARE (90 ° ) with the bar when
the pointer points to "0".
To check for squareness, place an accurate square on the
miter gauge. If the head is NOT SQUARE with the bar:
I. Loosen the lock knob.
LOCK KNOB
BAR
2. Position the head square with the bar.., tighten the
lock knob.
3. Loosen the screw and adjust the pointer, so it points to
zero.
The swiveling movement of the head can be adjusted by
tightening or loosening the set screw located in side of the
head usingthe 1/8 in. setscrewwrench.
HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE
While cuttlng, the material must move in a straight line
PARALLEL to the SAWBLAOE ...therefore both the
miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be
PARALLEL to the SAW_3LADE.
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge groove,
the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (This is known as
"HEELING").
To check for parallelism:
WARNING - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET.
1. Raise blade all the way up.., raise blade guard.
2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent)
