E. REMOVEADJUSTING

KEYSANDWRENCHES.

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
ACCESSORIES" (See page 58). Follow the instructions
that come with the accessories.
The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
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 or buffing wheel. Theycan fly apart
explosively.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoidcuttingtoolfailure
andthrown shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked
for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, 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 lime.
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 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

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.
wrenches to "snug" it securely.

Use arbor

e. Useonlysharpbladeswith
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 lop.
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.
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.
3. Plan yourwork
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for.
B. Dress for safety:

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with the safety goggles.
C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be cut.
D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROWBACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece binds
on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.
1. Nevercut FREEHAND: Always use eithera rip
fence, miter gauge or fixture to position ane
guide the work, so it won't twist bind on the
blade and kickback.
2. Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece and its supports.
3. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it wilt not slip and pinch the
blade:
a. A piece of molding, for example, must _ie flat
or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it
twist rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or
fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece
shifting.
b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for
work that can't be made stable.
4. Use extra caution with large, very small
awkward workpieces:
a. Use extra supports (tables,
blocks, etc.] for anyworkpieces

or

saw horses.
large enough

to tip when not held down to the table top.
NEVER use another person as a substitute
for a table extension, oras additional support
for a workpiece that is longer or wider than
the basic saw table, or to help feed, support
or pull the workpiece.
b. Never confine the piece being cut off, that is,
thepieceNOTagainstthe Fence, MiterGauge
or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or
use length stops against it. It must be freeto
move. Ifconfined, itcould get wedged against
the blade and cause a kickback or throwback.
c. Never cut more than one workpiece at atime.
d. Never turn your table saw "ON" before clearing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
4. Plan thewayyou

will pushtheworkplecathrough.

A. NEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and
finish the cut from the front of the table saw.
B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
C. NEVER reach Inback ofthe cutUngtool with either
hand to hold clown 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.
and balance.

Always keep good footing

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool
from the rear of the saw,
G, Always push the workpiece all the way past the
sawblade.
H.As much as possible, keep your face and body to
one side of the sawblade,out of linewith a possible
kickback or throwback.
I. NEVERtumthe saw"ON"before cleadngthetable
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the
cut planned.
J. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.
WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from 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 vJ_oratesa lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.
Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and fixing
the problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting toot tu ms
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. Ailvisitors should be kept
asale distancefmmwork. 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 itsdesigned rate. Feed the workpiece intothe
blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging
down or binding.
7. Before freeing any jammed material:
A. -rum switch "OFF".
B. Unplug the saw.
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 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 liftingthe Guard.

RiP TYPE CUTS
1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.
2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more
inches from the blade. When thru=sawing, use an
Auxiliary Fence and Push Block whenever the Fence
must be between 1/2 and 2 inches ofthe blade. Never
thru-saw ripcuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See"BASIC
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 board must be square. A Push Stick or
Block against an uneven end could slip off or push the
work away from the Fence.
5. A FEATHERSOARD can help guide the workpiece.
See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RiP
FENCE." Always use Featherboards for any non
thru rip type cuts.

BEFORESTARllNG
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.
2. Before thru-sawing, check the Anti-Kickback Pawls.
(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP
FENCE.") The Pawls must stop a kickback once it
has started. Replace or sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls
when points become due
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 especially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.
WHILE CUTTING
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always
push forward on the section of the workpiece between
the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Never pushforward
on the piece being cut off.

instructions

for

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS
BEFORE STARTING
1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crossc:£ting.
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.

glossary

3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too sina!! to
extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge face
during the cut. This lets you propedy hold the Miter
Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands
away from the blade. (See page 37.)
WHgLE CUTTING
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - USiNG THE MITER GAUGE."
BEFORE LEAVDNG THE SAW
1. Turn the saw off.
2.

Wait for blade to stop spinning,

3. Makeworkshopchild-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.

Motor Thermal Overload Protector

breakers may result if:

IMPORTANT: To avoid motor damage, this motor should
be blown out orvacuumed frequently to prevent sawdust
buildup which will interfere with normal motor ventilation.

a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is misaligned

Your saw is equipped with a manual-reset thermal overload protector designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe level, motor
is overloaded or a low voltage condition exists.

b. MOTOR CIRCUIT IS FUSED DIFFERENTLY
FROM RECOMMENDATIONS - Always follow
instructions for the proper fuse/breaker, Do not
use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without con.
suiting a qualified electrician
c. LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed
for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate, normal loads will be handied safety on voltage not more than 10% above
or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads.
however, require that voltage at motor terminals
equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

WARNING: Avoid thrown objects or blade con.
tact from unexpected starting, if the protector
stops the saw motor, immediately turn the saw
switch "OFF", remove the key and allow motor
time to cool.
1. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing the red button on the end of the motor. If the red
button will not click into place immediately, the motor
is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while
longer.
The time required for the motor to cool may be equal
to the length of time the saw was used before the
thermal overload protector opened, to shut of! electrical flow, An audible click will indicate the protector
is closed.
2_ As soon as the red button will click into running position. the saw may be started and operated normally.
3. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit

4. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to
overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever
motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes
and length with the Wire Size Chart below.

Wire Sizes
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.] extension
cord. Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3
prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles
which accept the tools plug.
iMPORTANT: For circuits that are farther away from
electrical service box. the wire size must be increased
proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the
saw motor.

BASIC
WORK

SAW OPERATION

FEED DEVQCES

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operation" section.
As you learn new table saw woodworking techniques,
you'll see t hat many types of cuts need different supporting devices, known as jigs or fixtures. Theycan help you
make cuts more accurately. By helping to steady the
workpiece and keep you away from the blade, they can
help you safely use your saw for certain cuts.
Many people custom build their own jigs and fixtures.
Jigs and fixtures are often unique, designedfera particular cut.
You can use you r table saw to easily make many jigs and
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 starting any
projects. Make the push stick first.

touch it, or use length stops against it. It
must be free to move. If confined, it could
get wedged against the btade and cause a
kickback or throwback.
- Never cut more than one workpiece

runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamilar noise
or vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn the
saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not resta_ untiafinding

3. Set the cutting tooU as Rowas possible for the cut
you're planning.

-Never
turn your table saw "ON" before
ctearing eye,thing
except the workpiece
and related support devices off the table.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. AH visitors should be kept
a safe distance from work. Make sure bystanders are
clear of the saw and workpiece.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.
- NEVER pult the workplece through. Start and
finished the cut from the fron of the tabel saw.

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.

- NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
- NEVER reach in back of the cuffing tool with
either hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason.

7. Before freeing any jammed mater_al:
a. Turn switch "OFF"_

- Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where asudden slip could cause fingers or hand
to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool
- DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.

b. Unplug the saw.
c. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
d. Check blade spreader and fence for proper a_ignmenl before starling, again.

- Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool
from the rear of the saw.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces:
a. Use the guard assembly.
b. To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside
the guard:

- Always push the workpiece all the way past the
sawblade.
- Asmuch as possible, keep you r face and body to
one side of the sawblade, out of line with a
possible kickback or throwback.

1. Turn saw off.
2. Remove switch key.
3, Wait for blade to stop before liftingthe guard

- NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the
workptece and related feed or support devices
for the cut planned.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
1. Turn saw off.
2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

THE MgTER GAUGE IS USED WHEN CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTBNG, BEVEL CUTTING, COMPOUND MITER CUTTING, DADOI_NG and when
RABBETTaNG AND MOLDING across the end of 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 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.

piece of wood wider than 3-3/8 inch
. _t will be
necessary to remove the blade guard.., and use the
AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT (See "Work
Helpers").

OF WOOD

Clamp it to the table so that the work piece will SLIDE
EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without
BINDING between the two fences.

WARNING:

For your own safety...

!. Do not "Back Up" (reverse _eedtng) while
resawlng becausethis could cause a kickback.

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.

2. Make first pass to a depth slightly more than
one-half the width of the board; keep the same
face of the board against fence for the second
pass.
3. install blade guard immediately upon completion of the resawing operation.

RABBET!NG is known as cutting out a section of the
corner of a piece of material, across an end or atong
an edge.

FIRST CUT

To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go ai!

guard must be removed.

RA

I SECOND CUT

1. Remove blade guard.
2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of workpiece) 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 cut with board fiat on table as any rip
(type) cut; make second cut with workpiece on
edge. Follow all precautions, safety instructions,
and operational instructions as for ripping, or rip
type operations, including feather boards and
push stick, etc.

RABBETING ALONG
THE EDGE

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 101/2': and narrower make the rabbet cut with the
board fiat on the table. Using the miter gauge
fitted with a facing, follow the same procedures
and instructions for cross 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.
