BEFORE USING THE SAW:

4. Review of the maintenance

Sears Tower, Chicago,

FUf_

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW:
1. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT., Use the
saw in a dry place protected from r'ain..Keep work
area well lighted,
2_ To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
a Put the saw on a firm level surface where there
is plenty of room for handling and properly
supporting the workpiece..
b, Support the saw so the table is level and the
saw does not rock.
c. Bott the saw to the floor if it tends to slip, walk,
or slide during normal use_
d_ When using table extensions over 24" wide on
any side of the saw, bolt the saw to the floor or
prop up the outer' end of the extension from
the floor' to keep the saw from tipping.
3. Put the saw where neither operators or bystanders must stand in line with the saw blade_
4 GROUND THE SAW - This saw has an approved
3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type
plug, The plug fits grounding type outlets design-

saw,

c. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts
before using the saw again
d. Use the sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback pawls for any thru-sawing (wher]ever
the blade comes through the top of the workpiece). 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 before turning it on.
f. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces
(kickback and throwback):
1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED
ACCESSO*
RIES° Follow the instructions that come with
the accessories Consult the owner's manual
for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
2

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 carefully.
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 518" 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 bladesharpener 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
sawdust
b To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use
the saw near flammable liquids, 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
spinning. 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 toot 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, wrist watches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts,
- Wear nonslip footwear
- Tie back long hair.
- Roll long sleeves above the elbow
- Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs
when using 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 package).. 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 workpiece to be cut.
4. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROWBACKS - 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 workpiece 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
substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer
or wider then the basic saw table, or to help
feed, support or pull the workpiece.
- Never confine the piece being cut off That
is, the piece NOT against the fence, miter
gauge or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it,
touch it, or use length stops against it. It
must be free to move If confined, it could
get wedged against the blade and cause a
kickback or throwback

- Nevercut morethan one workpieceat a
time
-Never turn your table saw "ON" before
clearingeverythingexceptthe workpiece
andrelatedsupportdevicesoff the table.
Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.
-NEVER pull 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 workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason..
- Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or
other cutting too!
- 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
sawblade

all the way past the

- 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

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

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 tot, 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 a safe 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. tt will do the job better
and safer at its designed rate.. Feed the workpiece
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"..

the

- 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 board must be square A push
stick or block against an uneven end could slip
off or push the work away from the fence..

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.

_-_

Before Starting
-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade,
make sure the rip fence is paratlel 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
(like 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,
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 instructions for
CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

While cutting

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 sawbtade 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.

GLOSSARY

- To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter
gauge as shown in the 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
Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow
switch key. Store it away from children and
others not qualified to use the tool
4 Unplug the saw.

3 inspect your workpiece
Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut,
4 Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROWBACKS - when a part or alf of the workpiece
binds on the blade and is thrown violently back
toward the front of the saw:

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

- 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 kic,kback
-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,,

b To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use
the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or
gases.
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, 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 the blade
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure switch
is in "OFF" position 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, wrist watches) They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts
° Wear nonstip footwear
- Tie back tong hair.
- Roll tong 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,

- 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 workpiece shifting,
- Use a different, bettersuited 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
Iarge
enough to tip when not held down ot the
table top, NEVER use another person as a
substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer
or wider then the basic saw table, or to help
feed, support or pull the workpiece

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 the
problem
2 Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool
turns toward the front of the saw.

- Never confine the piece being cut off That
is, the piece NOT against the fence, miter
gauge or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it,
touch it, or use length stops against it. It
must be free to move. If confined, it could
get wedged against the blade and cause a
kickback or throwback..

THE

MITER

GAUGE

The MITER GAUGE is used when CROSSCUTTING,
MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING, COMPOUND
MITER CUTTING, DADOING andwhen RABBETTING
AND MOLDING across the end ol a narrow workpiece.

- 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 fulf length of the miter
gauge face during the cut This lets you properly
hoid the miter gauge and workpiece and helps
keep your hands away from the blade

INSTRUCTIONS
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
(like hardboard)
materials may be cut on your saw However,
since these are usually quite hard and slippery,
the aptikickback
pawls may not stop a kickback
Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up
and cutting procedures

- 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..)

HEELING ADJUSTMENT
PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE
GAUGE GROOVE

or
TO NtlTER

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 sawbtade 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 b{ade guard
2.. Mark an "x" on one of the teeth which is SET
(bent) to the LEFT
3. Place the head of a combination
square in the
GROOVE .... adjust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of the MARKED tooth

5. if tooth touches square at FRONT and REAR...

4. Move square to REAR, rotate blade to see if
MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.
