prop Upthe outer end" of the extension from

the floor to keep the saw from tipping,

3 put the saw where neither operators or bystand-

ers must stand in line with the saw blade.

4. 'GROUND THE SAW- This saw has an approved

3-conductor cord and a3-prong grounding type

plug. The plug fits grounding type outlets design-

guard, changing the cutting tool. changing

the setup or adjusting anything.

b. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,

and any other conditions that may affect the

way it works. If any part is missing, bent, or

broken in anyway, or any electrical parts don't

work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the

saw.

c. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts

before using the saw again.

d. Use the sawblade guard, spreader, and anti-

kickback pawls for any thru-sawing (wher)ever

the blade comes through the top of the work-

piece). Make sure the pawls work properly.

Make sure the spreader is in line with the

sawblade.

e. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form habit,of checking for and

removing keys and adjusting wrenches from

tool belt;re turning it on: ....

f. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback an(Jthrowback)_

1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSO:

R|ES. Follow the instructions that come with

the accessories. Consult the owners manual

!or recommended accessories. The use of

improper accessories may cause risk of injury

to persons.

2. Choose the right blade orcutting accessory

for the material and the type of cutting you

plan to do.

3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off

wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting

blades) wire wheels or buffing wheel. They

can fly apart explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool care-

fully.

a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown

shrapnel (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

designed to fit this saw's 5/8" arbor.

c. When thru-sawing, (making cuts where

the blade comes through the workpiece

top) always use a 10 inch diameter blade.

This keeps the spreader in closest to the

blade.

d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with properly set

teeth. Consult a professional blade sharp-

ener when in doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.

NEVER use the saw without the proper

insert.

6. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight

and no parts have any excessive play,

2. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN

a. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents,

Floor must not be slippery from wax or

sawdus_

b. To avoid burns or ott_er fire damage, never use

the saw near flammable liauids, vapors or

gases.

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

ears.

a. To avoid injury, don't do layout, assembly, or

setup work on the table while the blade is

spin ning. It could cut or throw anything hitting

the blade.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure

switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

Plan your work

1. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or

attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

2. Dress for safety:

-Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties

or jewelry (rings, wristwatches). 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 saw for long periods of time.

- Any power saw can throw foreign objects into

the eyes. This can cause permanent eye

damage, Wear safety goggles (not glasses)

that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack-

age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact

resistant 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

- For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along

with the safety goggles.

3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no

nails or foreign objects in the part of the work-

piece to be cut.

4. Plan your cut toavoid KICKBACKSand 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

guide the work. so it won't twist, bind on the

blade and kickback.

-Make sure there's no debris between the

workpiece and its supports.

- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,

plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the

blade:

- A piece of molding, for example, must lie

flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not

let it twist, rock or slip while being cut, Use

jigs. fixtures where needed to prevent work-

piece shifting.

- Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

- Use extra caution with large, very small or

awkward workpieces:

-Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,

blocks, etc.) for any workpieces large

enough to tip when not held down to the

table top. NEVER use another person as a

substitutefor a table extension, or as addi-

tional support for a workpiece that is longer

or wider then the basic saw table, orto help

feed. support or pull the workpiece.

-Never confine the piece being cut oft. 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. tt

must be free to move. If confined, it could

get wedged against the blade and cause a

kickback or throwback.

- Never cut more than one workpiece at a

time.

-Never turn your table saw "ON" before

clearing everything except the workpiece

and related support devices off the table.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

-NEVER putt the workpiece through. Start and

finish the cut from the front of the table saw.

-NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade or other cutting tool.

-NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with

either hand to hold down or support the work-

piece, remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason.

- Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could

cause fingers or hand to move into a saw blade or

other cutting tool.

- DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing

and balance.

- 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

sawblade.

- As much as possible, keep you r face and body to

one side of the sawblade, out of line with a

possible kickback or throwback.

- NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the

table of all tools, wood scraps, etc.. except the

werkpiece and related feed or support devices

for the cut planned.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: DON'T LET FAMILIARITY (GAINED

FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR TABLE SAW)

CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS

REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A

SECOND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEVERE

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 immedi-

ately. 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. KEEPCHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be

5. Let the blade reachfull speed before cutting.

c. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

d, Check blade, spreader and fence for proper

alignment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of small, cut off pieces:

a. Use the guard assembly.

b. To remove pieces trapped inside the guard:

1. Turn saw off.

2. Remove switch key.

3. Unplug saw.

4. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the

guard.

additional instructions for

RiP TYPE CUTS

- NEVER use the miter gauge when ripping.

- Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 to 6

inches from the blade. Use an auxiliary fence and

push block whenever the fence must be within 2

inches of the blade. (See "Basic Saw Operation

Using The Rip Fence" section.)

- Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

-When using a push stick or push block, the

trailing end of the _)oard 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 work-

piece. See BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING

THE RIP FENCE. Always use featherboards for

any non-thru rip type cuts.

Before Starting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade,

make surethe rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

- Check the antikickback pawls. (See BASIC SAW

OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.) The

pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.

Replace or sharpen antikickback pawls when

points become dul t.

- Plastic and composition (like hardboard) mater-

ials may be cut on your saw. However, since

these are usually quite hard and slippery, the

antikickback pawls may not stop a kickback.

Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up

and cutting procedures.

6. DON TFORCE TOOL. It will do the job bette

and,safer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece

into the blade only fast enough to let it cut While cutting

without bogging down or binding. -To avoid kickbacks and slips into the bade

always push forward on the section of the work-

addiUonai instructions for

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

- NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting.

-An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter

gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and

throwbacks. Attach it to the holes provided.

Make the facing long enough and big enough to

support your work, Make sure, however, it will

not interfere with the sawblade guard.

- Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too

small to extend across the full length of the miter

gauge face during the cut. This lets you properly

hold the miter gauge and workpiece and hetps

keep your hands away from the blade.

While cutting

- To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter

gauge as shown in the BASIC SAW OPERA-

TIONS -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. Lock the shop. Dis-

connect master switches. Remove the yellow

switch key. Store it away from children and

others not qualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.

BASIC SAW OPERATION

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

Fence/Work Support, which you can make yourself.

After you have made a few practice cuts, make up

these "helpers" before starting any projects. Make

the "Push Stick" first.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

BEFORE EACH USE:

1. Inspect your saw.

a. To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug

the saw, turP, the switch off and remove the

switch key before raising or removing the

guard, changing the cutting tool, changing

the setup or adjusting anything.

b. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts mounting,

and any other conditions that may affect the

way it works. If any part is missing, bent, or

broken in any way, or any electrical parts don't

work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the

saw.

c. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts

before using the saw again.

d. Use the sawblade guard, spreader, and anti-

piece). Make sure the pawls work properly.

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

Make sure the spreader is in line with the

sawblade,

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form habit of checking for and

removing keys and adjusting wrenches from

tool before turning _ton.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown

pieces (kickback and throwback):

1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSO-

RIES (See page 42) - Follow the instructions

that comewiththeaccessories. Usingother

accessories may be dangerous.

2. Choose the right blade or cutting accessory

for the matedal and the type of cutting you

plan to de.

3, Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off

wire wheels or buffing wheel. They can fly

apart explosively.

4, Choose and inspect your cutting tool care-

fully.

a, To avoid cutting toot failure a_d thrown

shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), Ljse

only 10" or Smaller blades or other cutting

tools marked for speeds o_ 3450 rpm or

higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades

designed to fit this saw's 5/8" arbor.

c. When thru-sawing, (making cuts where

the blade comes through the workpiece

top) always use a 10 inch diameter blade.

This keeps the spreader in closest to the

blade.

d Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely,

e. Use only sharp b_ades with properly set

teeth. Consult a professional blade

sharpener when in doubt.

f, Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.

NEVER use the saw without the proper

insert,

6, Make sure all clamps and locks are tight

and no parts have any excessive play.

2. KEEPWORK AREA CLEAN

a. Cluttered areas and benches invite accrdents.

Floor must not be slippery from wax or

sawdust.

b. To avoid burns or other fi re damage, never use

the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or

gases,

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

a. To avoid injury from accidental blade contact,

don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the

table while the blade is spinning It could cut or

throw anything hitting me blade.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure switch

is in "OFF" position before plugging saw Jn

Plan your work

1 USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force toot or

attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

2. Dress for safety:

- Do not wear loose ctothing, 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

heanng 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

damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)

that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack-

age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact

resistant 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

- For dusty operatior_s, wear a dust mask along

with the safety goggles,

3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no

nails or foreign objects in the part of the work-

piece to be cut.

4. 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 FREEHAN D: Always use either a rip

fence, miter gauge or fixture to position and

guide the work, so it won't twist, bind on the

blade and kickback.

-Make sure there's no debris between the

workp_ece and its supports.

- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,

plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the

blade.

- A piece of molding, for example, must lie

flat or be held by a fixture or jig that wiil not

let it twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use

jigs, fixtures where needed to prevent work-

piece shifting.

- Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

- Use extra caution with large, very small or

awkward workpieces:

- Use extra supports (tables saw horses,

blocks, etc.) for any wor_pieces large

enough to tip when not held down ot the

table top. NEVER use another person as a

substitute for a table extension, or as addi-

tional support fora workpiece that is longer

or wider then the basic saw table or to help

feed. support or pul! the workpiece.

:=7

- Never c0nfinethe piece being cut off.That

is, the piece NOT against the fence, miter

gauge or fixture. Never hold it. clamp it.

touch it, or use length stops against it. It

must be free to move. If confined, it could

get wedged against the blade and cause a

kickback or throwback.

- Never cut more than one workpiece at a

time.

-Never turn your table saw "ON" before

clearing everything 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

finished the cut from the fron of the tabel 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 or support the work-

piece, remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason.

-Avoid awkward operations and hand positions

where a sudden slip couldcause fingers or hand

to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool.

- DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing

and balance.

- 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

sawblade.

- As much as possible, keep your face and body to

one side of the sawblade, out of line with a

possible kickback or throwback.

- 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 cut planned.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: DON'T LET FAMILiARiTY (GAINED

FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR TABLE SAW)

CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS

REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A

SECOND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEVERE

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 excessively, stop

immediately, Turn the saw off_ Unplug the saw.

Do not restart until finding and correcting tl_e

problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cuthng tool

turns toward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for othe cut

you're _)tanning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be

kept a safe distance from work. Make sure

bystanders are clear of the saw and workp_ece.

5, Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better

and safer at its designed rate. Feed the work p=ece

into the blade only fast enough to let it cut

without bogging down or binding.

7 Before freeing any jammed material:

a. Turn switch "OFF"

D Unplug the saw.

c. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

d. Check blade, spreader and fence for proper

alignment before starting, again.

8. T(_ avoid throwback of small, cut off pieces:

a. Use the guard assembly.

b. To remove pieces trapped inside the guard:

1. Turn saw off.

2. Remove switch key.

3. Unplug saw.

4. Wait for blade to stop before lifting-the

guard

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

1. Turn saw off

2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

3. Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Dis-

connect master switches. Remove the yellow

switch key. Store it away from children and

others not qualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.

USING THE MITER GAUGE

The MITER GAUGE is used when CROSSCUTTING,

MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING, COMPOUND

MITER CUTTING, DADOING and when RABBETTING

AND MOLDING across the end of a narrow workpiece.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAU-

TIONS IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUC-

TIONS ON PAGES 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 26, 27, AND 28.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

FOR CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

-NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting.

- An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter

gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and

throwbacks. Attach it to the holes provided.

Make the facing long enough and big enough to

support your work. Make sure, however, it will

not in.terfere with the sawblade guard.

- Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too

small to extend across the full length of the miter

gauge face during the cut. This lets you properly

hold the miter gauge and workpiece and helps

keep your hands away from the blade.

While cutting

-To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter

gauge as shown in the BASIC SAW OPERA-

TIONS- USING THE MITER GAUGE.

CROSSCUTTING

Crosscut

A cutting or shaping operation made across the width

of the workpiece.

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 accurate square, or protractor.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled

slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

NOTE: The space between the miter gauge barand

the groove in the table is held to a minimum during

manufacturing

For maximum accuracy when using the miter

gauge, always "favor" one sade 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 sandpaoer to the face of the

miter gauge head. This will help prevent the

workpiece from "creeping" while it is being cut.

The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory)

sP]ould be used on the miter gauge for greater

accuracy.

The miter gauge may _e used in either of the

grooves m the table. Make sure it is locked.

WARNING: TO AVOID BLADE CONTACT, HOLD THE

MITER GAUGE PROPERLY.

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 Fock

handle with your r_ght.

When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the

workpiece with your right hand and the !ockhandle

with your left hand

When cutting long workpieces, insert 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 adequately support the

workpiece, you can make a simple support by clamping

a piece of plywood to a sawhorse. See first illustration

ING A KICKBACK.

2. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6in,. clamp

a block of wood 2 in. 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 blcok of wood between the

bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.

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 miter gauge until it

touches the block, hold it securely or clamp it with

the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory).

MITER CUTTING

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an

_rngle other than 90 ° with the edge of the wood.

Follow the same procedure as you would for cross-

cutting.

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 us=rig the mi_er gauge in the LEFT hand

groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the miter

gauge head with your left hand. and grip the lock

handle with your right.

When 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 CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTI NG is the same as crosscutting

except that the wood is also cut at an ang{e,, • other

than 90° with the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the blade to the desired angle.

Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of

the blade. _t cannot be used in the groove to the

LEFT because the blade guard wilm interfere. Hold

the workpiece with your right hand and the lock-

handle with your 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.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on

the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTmNG

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, PLOUGHING, MOLDING,

RESAWING AND RABBETTING are performed using

the RIP FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE/

WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAU-

ADDiTiONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

FOR RiP TYPE CUTS

- NEVER use the miter gauge when ripping.

- Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 to 6

inches from the blade. Use an auxitiary fence and

push block whenever the fence must be within 2

inches of the blade. (See "Basic Saw Operation

Using The Rip Fence" section.)

-When using a push stick or push block the

trailing end of the board must be square. A push

stick or block against an uneven end could slip

off or push the work away from the fence.

- Never rip anything shorter than !0" long.

- A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the work-

Before starting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade,

make su re the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

- Check the antikickback pawls. (See BASIC SAW

OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.) The

pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.

Replace or sharpen antikickback pawls when

points become dull.

-Plastic and composition (ike hardboard)

materials may be cut on your saw. However,

since these are usually quite hard and slippery,

the antikickback pawls may not stop a kickback.

Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up

and cutting procedures.

While cutting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade.

a!ways push forward on the section of the work-

piece between the saw blade and the rip fence.

Never push forward on the piece beinq cut off.

RIPPING

Ripping

Acutting 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

A_ Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.

B. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade

C. Antikickback pawls are functioning properly

When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANEL_

always usea work support.

A simple one can be made by clamping a piece ol

plywood to a sawhorse.

BEVEL RIPPING NARROW WORK

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 a push stick. If the fence is

mounted to the left, the sawblade guard may _nterfere

with proper use of a push stick.

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR

THRU-SAWlNG

Featherboards are not employed for thru-sawing

operations when using the miter gauge.

Feat herboards are used to keep the work in contact

with the fence and table as shown, and to heip 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

workpiece.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE FEATHERBOARD

AGAINST THE EDGE PRESSES ONLY ON THE

UNCUT PORTION (FORWARD OF THE BLADE). IT

MIGHT OTHERWISE PINCH THE BLADE IN THE

KERF AND CAUSE A KICKBACK.

Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and

cutter below table surface):

(a) Install featherboards so they exert pressure on

MITER GAUGE

NOTE: The slots for the stop pin and the graduations

are manufactured to very close tolerances which

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.

f necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled

slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

1. Loosen the "knob" and pull "stop ;)in" OUT.

2. Swivel the head., position it at "0"... push the

stop pin IN... lock the handle.

3. The HEAD should be square with the Bar and the

pointer should point to "0". Readjust the pointer

if necessary.

4. If the head is not square with the bar. adjustments

are required.

A Loosen the "knob" (1) and the "two screws"

(2).

B Position the HEAD square with the BAR using

a combination square.

C PUSH the STOP PIN into the slot in the head at

"0" .. push the pin into the slot and twist it.

Lock the knob.

D. Recheck with the square. If the head is still not

square, loosen thescrews (2) and readjust the

INDICATOR BLOCK.

E. With the head square with the bar and the pm

pushed into the slot adjust the pointer (3) to

point to "0".

F. The miter gauge head must rest on top of the

bar without being able to move up and down

•.. yet it must swivel freely

G. The swiveling movement of the head can be

adjusted by tightening or loosening the set-

screw (4)... using the 1/8 in. setscrew wrench.

HEELING ADJUSTMENT or

PARALLELISM OF SAWBLADE TO MITER

GAUGE GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight

line PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE... therefore both

the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must

be PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE,

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 REM OVE 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) to the LEFT

3. Place the head of acombination square in the

GROOVE ,,. adjust blade of square so that it just

touches the tip of the MARKED tooth_

4, Move square to REAR. rotate blade to see if

MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.

5, If tooth touches square at FRONT and REAR..

sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER GAUGE

GROOVE.

6. If tooth does not touch the same amount .. the

mechanism underneath must be adjusted to

make the blade PARALLEL to GROOVE.

A. Rear trunnion must be moved TOWARD the

combination square if there is a space between

marked tooth and end of square in step 4

13.Rear trunnion must be moved AWAY from the

square if marked tooth pushes square out of

position in the groove,

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, 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 cutting tools with Craftsman

Gum and Pitch Remover.

Acoat of automobile-type wax applied to the table

will help to keep the surface clean and allow work-

pieces to slide more freely.

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

way, have it replaced immediately.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTIKICKBACK pawls

are always sharp. To sharpen:

1 Remove blade guard.

2. Rotate paw l toward rear of spreader so that tee1

are above top of spreader.

3. Hold spreade rwith left hand and place pawl ov

corner of workbench.

4. Using asmatl round file (Smooth Cut) sharp_

the teeth.
