E. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking for and removing keys and
adjusting wrencheslrem tool before turning it on.
F. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces
(kickback and throwback):
1. USE ONLY "RECOMMENDED ACCESSO-
RIES" (See page 43). Follow the instructions
that come with the accessories. Using other ac-
cessories may be dangerous.
2. Choose the right blade or cutting 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 orbuffing wheel. They can fly apart
explosively.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoid cuttingtoolfailureand thrownshrap-
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
designed 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 overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to "snug"it securely.
e. Use only sharpbladeswith 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 locksare 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.
C. To avoid injury,don't do layout, assembly, or setup
work on the table while the blade is spinning. It
could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands,face, ears.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.
3. Plan your work
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force toot or
attachmentto do a job it was not designed for.
B. Dress for safety:
1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (dngs, wristwatches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
2. Wear nonslip footwear.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Roll long sleeves 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
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 com-
pliance 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 workplece
to be cut.
D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-
BACKS - when apart or all of the workpiece binds
on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.
1. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a
Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position
and guide the work, so itwon't twist, bind on the
blade and kickback.
2. Make sure there's no debris between 1ne work-
piece and its supports.
3. When cutting Irregularly shaped 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 wiU 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 toot for
work that can't be made stable.
4. Use extra caution with large,, very small or
awkwardworkpisces.
a. Use extra supports(tables, sawhorses,block,
etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip
when not hell down to thetable top. NEVER
uSe another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support fora
workpiece that is longer or wider than the
basic saw table, orto help feed, support or
pull the workpisce.
b. Never confine the piece being cut off, that is,
the piece NOT againstthe 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 morethan 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, Planthawayyouwill pushtheworkplecethrough
A. NEVER pull the workpleo_ through. Start and
finishthe cut from the front of the table saw.
B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
C. NEVER reach In back ofthe cuttingtoolwith 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 cutting tool.
E. DON'T"OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.
F. Push the workpisce 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 skJeof the sawblade, outof line with apossible
kickback or throwback.
I. NEVERtum the saw =ON" before cieadngthe table
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work-
piece and related feed or support devices for the

J
tion of a second Is enough to cause a Severe
Injury.
1. Before actually cuttingwith the saw, watcl_it while it
runsfor a short while, if it makes an unfamiliar noise

or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.
Unplugthe saw. Do not restart untilfinding andfixing
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 visitorsshould be kept
a safe distance fromwork. Make sure bystanders are
clear of the saw and workplece.
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 workpiece intothe
blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging
down or binding.
7. Before treeing any jammed material
A. Turn switch "OFF".
B. Unplug the saw.
C. Wait for all moving pars to stop.
D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence forproper align-
ment before starting, again.
8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;
A. Use the Guard assembly.
B. To remove loose pieces beneath ortrapped inside
the guard:
1. Turn saw "OFF".
2. Remove switch key.
3. Wait for blade to stop before liftingthe Guard.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RIPTYPE 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
AuxiliaryFence and Push Blockwhenever the Fence
mustbebetween 1/2 and2 inchesof the blade. Never
thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See =BA-
SIC SAW OPERATION -USING THE RIP FENCE"
section.)
3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.
4. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailing
end of the beard must be square. A Push Stick or
Blockagainst an uneven end could slip off orpush 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.
+++o+,
5/16" APART
4-1/2' +- 5"
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 orsharpen 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 notstop 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
pushforward onthe section of the workpiece between
the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Neverpushforward
on the piece being cut off.
ADDITIONAL iNSTRUCTiONS FOR
CROSSCUT 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. (See page 26)
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 the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - US-
ING THE MITER GAUGE."
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
1. Turn the saw off.
.
3.
Wait for blade to stop spinning.
Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Discon-
nect master switches. Remove the yellow Switch
Key. Store it away from children and others not
qualified to use the tool.
4. Unplug the saw.

safety instructions for basic saw operations
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. inspect your saw
A. To avoid injurytram accidental starting,unplugthe
saw, turnthe switchoff andremove 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, tfany part ismissing, bent, or broken inany
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-
Kickback Pawls forany thru-sawing (wheneverthe
blade comes through the top of the workpiece).
Makesurethe Pawlsworkpmperly. Makesurethe
Spreader is in line with the sawblade.
E. REMOVE ADJ USTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking forand removing keys and
adjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.
F. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces
(kickback and throwback): 2.
1. USEONLY RECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES 3.
(See page 40). Follow the instructions that 4.
come with the accessories. Using other acces-
sories may be dangerous. 5.
2. Choose the rightblade orcutting accessory for
the material and the type of cutting you plan to
do. 6.
3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buflingwheel. They can fly apart
explosively.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoid cuttingtool failure andt hrownshrap-
nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or
smaller blades or othercutting tools marked
for speeds of 3450 rpmor 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 inclosest to the blade.
d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to "snug" itsecureiy.
e. Use onlysharp blades withpropedy setteeth ....
Consult aprofessional bladesharpenerwhen
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. Makesure allclamps and locksare tight and no
parts have any excessive play.
2. Keep work area clean
A. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
FlOormust not be slippery from wax or sawdust.
B. To avoid burnsor other fire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
C. To avoid injury,don't do layout,assembly, or setup
work on the table while the blade is spinning. It
could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING -Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.
3. Plan your work
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job it was notdesigned for.
B. Dress for safety:
1. Do not wearloose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
VVearnonslip 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 dam-
age. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that
........ ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resis-
tant lenses. They are notsafety 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.
nailsor foreign objects inthe part of the workpiece
to be cut.

D.PlanyourcuttoavoidKICKBACKSandTHROW-
BACKS -when a part or allof the workpiece binds
on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.
1. 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 onthe
blade and kickback.
2. Make sure there's no debris between the work-
piece and its supports.
3. Whencutting irregularly shaped workpleces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade:
a. A piece of molding, for example, must fieflat
or be held by a fixture or jig thatwill not let it
twist, rock or slipwhile 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.) foranyworkpieces large enough
to tip when not held down to the table top.
NEVER use another person as a substitute
for a Table Extension, or as additional sup-
port for a workpiece that is longer or wider
than the basic saw table, or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece.
b. Neverconfinethe piece being cutoff. That is,
the pieceNOTagainstthe Fence, Miter Gauge
or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or
use length stops against it. It must be free to
move. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwodgedagainst
the blade and cause a kickback or throw-
back.
c. Never cut more than one workpiece at atirne.
d. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing
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 theworkpiece through
A. NEVER pug the worlkp|ece 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 tool.
C. NEVER reach In back of the cuttingtoolwith either
hand to hold-down or support the workpiece, re-
move wood scraps, or for any other reason.
D. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slipcould cause tinge rs orhand to
move into a sawblade or other cutting tool.
E. DONT OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.
F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade. NEVER feed materiat into the cuttingtool
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, outof linewith apossible
kickback or throwback.
WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPiNNiNG
WARNING: Do,'t let familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your table saw) cause s careless
mistake. AJways remember that • careless frac-
tion of a second is enough to cause a severe
injury.
1. Before actuafly cutting with the saw, watch it while it
runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise
or vibrates alot, 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 from work. 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. Feed the workpiece intothe
blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging
down or binding.
7. Before freeing any jammed materiah
A. Turn switch '_FF".
B. Unplug the saw.
C. Wail for aft moving parts to stop.
D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for proper align-
ment before starting, again.
8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;
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.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
1. Turn the saw off.
2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.
3, Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Discon-
nect 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 -using the miter gauge
WORK FEED DEVICES
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operation."
As you learn new table saw woodworking techniques,
you'llsee that many types of cuts need different support
and feedingdevices, known as jigsor fixtures. They can
help you make cuts more accurately. By helping to
steadythe workpiece andkeep you away fromthe blade,
they can help you safely use your saw for certain cuts.
Many people custom build their own jigs and fixtures.
Jigsand fixtures areoflen unique,designed fora particu-
lar CUt.
You can use yourtable saw to easilymake many jigsand
fixtures. To get you started, we've included instructions
for some simple ones. After you have made a few
practice cuts, make up these jigs before sta_ling any
projects. Make the push stick first.

The small piece of wood 3/8 x 3/8x 1-1/2 inches should
be GLUED to the plywood. DO NOT USE NAILS. This
is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you

WARNING: For your own safety, a_ays observe I
the following safety precautions In addition to the I
safety instructions on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 29, & 30.
ADDNIONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTIONS FOR
CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS
2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gauge
can help prevent workpiece twistingand 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 fixturesto help hold any piece too smallto
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.
Before Starting:
1. Never use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.
V_tlle Cutting:
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS -US-
iNG 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 ex-
treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then re-check it with an
accurate square, or protractor.
If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled
slightlyto compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space between the Miter Gauge Bar andthe
groove inthe table is held to a minimum during manufac-
turing.
For maximum accuracy when using the Miter Gauge,
always "favor" one side of the groove in the table. In
other words, don1 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 pieceof sandpaperto 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) should be
used on the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
The Miter Gauge maybe used ineither of the grooves in
the table. Make sure it is locked.
\
_DPAPER
WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback,
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 gripthe lock handle with your
right.
When usingthe RIGHThandgroove, holdthe workpiece
with your right hand and the Lock Handle with your left
hand.
When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Panel/
Work Support and position it on top of the Guide Bars to
supportthe workplece as near to the end as possible, ff

ING A KICKBACK.
4. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches,
clamp a block ofwood 2 inches longto the table to act
as a length stop. Do not clampdimctly tothe bottom
edge of the table because the "swivel" of the clamp
will not grip properly. Piaceasmafl block of wood

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
32
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle, other than
900 with the flat side of the wood.
Adjustthe 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 work-
piecewith your righthand and the LockHandle withyour
left hand.
Use the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support for additional
support of the workpiece.
Lay it across the Guide Bars to supportthe workpiece as
near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of
mitercutting 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.

lWARNING: For your own safety, always observe I
the following safety precautions in addition to the ]
safety instructions on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 28, 29 & 30.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 Blockwhenever the Fence
must be between 1/2 inch and 2 inches of the blade.
Never thru-saw ripcuts lessthan 1/2 inchwide.
3. When using aPush Stick or Push Block, the trailing
end of the board must be square. A Push Stick or
Block against an uneven end could slipoffor push the
work away from the fence.
4. Never rip anything shorter than 10 inches long.
5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.
24" _
KERFS ABOUT 11'
5/16" APART
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. 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 sectionof the workpiece between
the sawblade andthe Rip Fence. Never push forward
on the piece being cut off.
33
basic saw operation
RIPPING
Ripping -A cutting or shaping operation along the
length of the workpiece.
Positionthe Fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and
lock in place.
Before starting to dp, be sure:
1. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade:
2. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade.
3. Anti-Kickback Pawls are functioning properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS,
always use a work support.
A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR THRU
SAWING
Featherboards are NOT employed for thru-sawing
operations when usingthe Miter Gauge.
Featherbaords are used to keep thework in contact with
the Fence and table as shown, and to help stop kick-
backs.
Add 7-1/2 inches highflat facing boardtothe 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.
I WARNING: Make sure the Featherboard against I
the edge presses only on the uncut porUon (for-
ward of the blade). It might otherwise Inch the
blade in the kerf and cause a kickback.
Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and cutter
below table sudace):

BEVEL RaPPBNG
When bevel ripping material 6 inches or narrower, use
Fence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This will
provide more space between the Fence and the saw-
blade for use of a Push Stick. if the Fence is mounted
to the left,the Sawblade Guard may interferewithproper
use of a Push Stick.
Keep your hands out of the blade path.
JWARNING: To avoid kickback, push forward only
on the part of the workplece that wlil pass be-
_Neen the blade and the fence.
Stop your thumbs at the front edge of the table. Finish
the cut with the appropriate pusher.
Once the trailing end is on the table:
When"WIDTH OF RIP"is 2 incheswide or more, usethe
Push Stick to finishpushingthe work allthe way past the
blade.
When thru-sawing a rip 1/2 inch to 2 inches wide, the
Push Stick CANNOT be used because the Guard will
interfere. USE the Auxiliary FencelWork Support and
Push Block.
Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work Support to Rip Fence with
two "C" clamps.
35
basic saw operation
Feed the workpiece by hand along the Auxiliary Fence
until the end is approximately Iinch past the front edge
of the table. Continue to feed using the Push Block.
Holdtheworkpiece in positionand installthe Push Block
by sliding it on top of the Auxiliary Fence,NVork Support
(this may raise Guard).
WARNING: To avoid blade contact, never thru- J
saw a rip less than 1/2 Inch wide. I
Narrow strips thicker than the Auxiliary Fence/Wod_
Support may enter the Guard and stake the Baffle.
CAREFULLY raise Guard only enough to clear the
workpiece. Use Push Block to complete cut.

RESAWING
RESAWING isknown as ripping apiece 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
andusetheAuXilia_, Fence/WorkSupport. (See"WORK
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 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
resawlng because this COUldcause a kickback.

2. Make the first pass to a depth slightly more
than 1/2 thewidth of the board. Keepthe same
face of the board against the fence for the
second pass.
3. Instal! Blade Guard Immediately upon comple-
tion of the resawlng operation.

CUTTING PANELS
When cutting panels (whenever fence is positioned
outside of table sudace), ALWAYS use the Auxiliary
Fence/Work Suppod.
1. Unlock Fence and raise rear end.
2. Position Auxiliary Fence/Work Support as shown and
attach it with two "C" clamps.
AUXILIARY PANEL/
RABBETING
RABBETING is known as cutting out a section of the
comer of a piece of material, across an end or along an
edge.
To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go all the
way through the material. Therefore, the Blade Guard
must be removed.
1. Remove Blade Guard.
2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work-
piece) as shown, add facing to Rip Fence approxi-
mately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust Rip
Fence and blade to required dimensions; then make
first cut with board flat on table as any rip(type) cut;
make second cut with workpiece on edge. Follow all
precautions, safety instructions, and operational in-
structions as for ripping, or rip type operations, includ-
ing Featherboards and Push Stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2
inches and narrower, make the rabbet cut with the
board flat on the table. Using the Miter Gauge fitted
with a Facing, follow the same procedures and in-
structions for cross cutting making successwe cuts
across the width o! the workpiece to obtain the de-
sired width of cut. DO NOT use the Rip Fence for
rabbeting across the end.
I WARNING: For your own safety, Install blade
guard Immediately upon completion of rabbeting
operation,
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the
workpiece over the cutter using the Dado Head or
Molding Head.

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR NON-
THRU SAWING
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-saw-
ing operations when using the Miter Gauge.
Use Featherbaords for all other non thru-sawlng
operations (when sawbladeguard must be removed).
Featherboards are used to keep the work incontact with
the fence and table as shown and to stop kickbacks.
Add 7-1/2 inch highflat facing board tothe fence, the full
length of the fence. Mount Featherboard to fence and
table as shown, so that leading edges of Featherbaords
will support workpiece until cut is complete, and the

HEELING ADJUSTMENT OR
PARALLELISM OF SAWB LADE 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 PAR-
ALLEL to the Sawblade.
WARNING: The blade must be parallel to the
miter gauge groove. Misallgned blades could
bind on workplace. Workplece could suddenly
kickback. You could be cut or hit.
If the sawbiade 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:
IWARNING: To =wold Injury front accidental start,
make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-
nected to power source outlet.
1. Raise blade aft the way up, raise Blade Guard.
2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent)
