SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR TABLE SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert

and knowing how your table saw works. Read this

manual to understand this saw.

SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

DANGER: If the safety information is not followed,

someone WILL be seriously injured or killed

WARNING: If the safety information is not fol-

lowed, someone COULD be seriously injured or

killed.

CAUTION: If the safety information is not followed,

someone MAY be injured.

Read and follow all safety informationand instructions.

BEFORE USING THE SAW:

WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause

serious, permanent injury, do not plug the saw in

until the following steps have been satisfactorily

completed.

1. Assembly and alignment. (See pages 14-39)

2. Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch,

guard, spreader, anti-kickback device, miter gauge,

table insert and blade elevation and bevel controls.

(See pages 39-42)

3. Review and understanding of all safety instructions

C: Bolt 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 designed for 120

volt, 15 amp circuits. The green conductor in the

cord is the grounding wire. To avoid electrocution,

NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

5. To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure your

fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when

plugging in or unplugging the saw.

6. To avoid back injury, get help or use recommended

caster accessories when you need to move the saw.

Always get help if you need to lift the saw. Hold the

saw close to your body. Bend your knees so you can

lift withyour legs, not your back.

7. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could

occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting

tool. Do not store anything above or near the tool

where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.

BEFORE EACH USE:

1. Inspect your saw.

4. Review of the maintenance methods for this saw.

(See page 61)

Read the following WARNING label found on the

front of your saw.

WHEN INSTALUNG OR MOVING THE SAW':

1. AVOID DANGEROUS ENV RONMENT. Use the

saw na dry place protected from rain. Keep work

and operating procedures in this manual. A. To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug

the saw, turn the switch off and remove the switch

key before raising or removing the Guard, chang-

ingthe cutting too!, changing the setup or adjust-

ing 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 proper-

ly.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 (whenever

the blade comes through the top of the work-

................. where there is piece} Make sure the Pawls work properly Make

Form habit of checking for and removing keys and

B. Support the saw so the table is level and the saw

does not rock. 2 adjusting wrenchesfrom tool before tuming it on.

R [b avoidinjury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1.)USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Follow the instructions that come with the acces-

sories. The use of improper accessories may

cause risk of injury to persons.

2,)Choose the right blade or cutting accessories for

the material and the type of cutting you plan to

do.

3.)Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff

wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire

wheels or buffing wheels. They can fly apart

explosively.

4.) Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrap-

nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or

smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for

speed of 3450 rprn or higher.

Always use unbroken, balanced blades

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

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.

Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth.

Consult a professional blade sharpener when

in doubt.

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.

C. 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.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and

ears.

3, Plan your work.

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

ment to do a job it was not designed for.

B. Dress for safety:

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or

jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get

caugllt and draw you into moving parts.

Wear nonshp footwear.

Tie back long hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible qear-

_ngdamage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the

eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage.

Wear safety goggies (not gtasses) that comply

with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday

eyeglasses have only impaot resistant lenses.

They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are

available at Sears retail catalogue stores.

Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI

Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

SAFE

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 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 out 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 is no debris between the work-

piece and its supports.

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 lie flat or

be held by a fixture or jig that wil! not let it twist,

rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs, fixtures

where needed to prevent workpiece shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awk-

ward workpieces:

a. 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 additiona! 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,

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.

4. Plan the way you wlll push the workplece

through.

NEVER pull the workplece through. Start and

finish _e clot from the front of the table saw.

NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path

of the sawt_ade or other cutting too!.

NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with

e_ther hand to hold down or support the work-

p_ece remove wood scraps, or for any other rea-

son.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from

frequent use of your table saw) cause acare-

_ess mistake. Always remember that acareless

fraction of asecond is enough to cause a

severe injury.

Additional Instructions for

RiP TYPE CUTS

KERFS ABOUT

5/16" APART

9

NEVER use the Miter Gauge when npp_ng,

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 inch and 2 inches

from the blade, Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower

_an 1/2 inch. (See "BASIC SAW OPERATION

USING THE RIP FENCE' section),

Never rip anything shorter than 10" tong,

When using a Push Stick or Push Block the trail-

_ng 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,

A FEATHERBOARD can hetp guide the work-

p_ece See BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING

THE RiP FENCE. Always use featherboards for

any non4f_ru rip type cuts.

24 _

BEFORE STARTING

-[b avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make

sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

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 dull.

Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials

may be cut on your saw. However, since these

are usually quite hard and slippery, the antikick-

back 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 work-

piece between the saw blade and the Rip Fence.

Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

Addi_lona! Instructions for

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

NEVER use the rip fence wt_en crosscutting.

An atJxiliary wood facing attached to the miter

gauge can heip prevent workpiece twisting and

throwbacks. Attach t to the i_oles provided. Make

the facing tong enough and big e,qo_gh to support

your work. Make sure however, it wii! not inter..

event this should ever occur, allow the sawblade

to come to a complete stop and retighten the

arbor nut normally, not excessively. Never leave

the saw while the power is "ON".

B. TO turn saw OFF,..PUSH lever in. Never leave

the saw dntil the cutting tool has come to a com-

plete stop.

C, TO lock switch in OFF position...hofd switch IN

with one hand...REMOVE key with other hand.

WARNING: For your own safety, lower blade or

other cutting tool below table surface. (if blade is

tilted, return it to vertical (90°) position.) Always

lock the switch "OFF". When saw is not in use,

remove key and keep it in a safe place. Also, in

the event of a power failure (all of your lights go

out) turn switch off. Lock it and remove the key.

This will prevent the saw from starting up again

when the power comes back on.

WORK FEED DEVICES

Before cutting any wood on your saw. study all of the

"Basic Saw Operations".

As you learn new table saw WOOdworKing techniques.

you'll see that many types of cuts need different support

and feeding devices, known as jigs or fixtures They

can 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 anc fixtures.

Jigs and fixtures are often designed for a particular cut

You can use your table saw to easily make many jigs

and fixtures. To get you started, we've included inszruc-

tions 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.

Push Stick

Make the Push Stick using a piece of 1 x 2.

Push Block

There are any number of ways to properly cut your

workpieces to make a push block, The following s_eos

describe one way you can make a push block.

Making the base:

Start with a piece of 3/8 inch plywood at least 5-1/8

inches wide or wider and 14-3/4 inches long or

longer.

Crosscut a 2-1/2 inch wide strip off the narrow end of

the plywood. Put the larger piece aside for later.

Cross cut a3/8 inch wide piece off the end of the 2-

1/2 inch wide strip. Put the 3/8 inch wide piece aside

for late¢

Go back to the piece that is at least 5-1/8" wide or

wider and 12 inches long or longer. Cut it to the size

and shape shown,

Putting it together

Glue the 2-1/2 inch strip to the base, as shown:

IMPORTANT: The small piece of wood 3/8 inch x 3/8

inch × 2-1/2 inch should be glued to the plywood, Do

not use nails. This is to prevent dulling of the sawblade

in the event you cut in to the push block.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

BEFORE EACH USE: 4 Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

1. Inspect your saw. a.

a. To avoid injury from aCCidenta_ starting, unptug

the saw, turn the switch off ana remove the sw_tcn

key before raising or remowng the guara chang-

ing the cutting tool, changing the setup or adjust-

ing 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 _t

works. If any part is missing, bent. or broken in

any way, or any electrical parts don't work proper-

ly,turn the saw off and unplug the saw.

c. Replace damaged, m_ssing, or failed parts before

using the saw again.

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

back pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the

blade comes through the top of the workplace).

Make sure the pawls work properly Make sure

the spreader is in line with the sawbiade.

e. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCH-

ES. Form habit of checking for and remowng

keys and adjusting wrenches from tool before

turning it on.

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

(kickback and throwback):

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCES.

SORIES - Follow the instructions that come

witl_ the accessories. Using other accessories

may be dangerous.

b.

C.

d.

To avoid cutting too! failure and thrown

shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only

10" or smatler blades or other cutting tools

marked for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

Always use unbroken, balanced blades

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

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.

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 sharpen-

er 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

me saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

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. They can fly

apart explosively.

44

P_an ahead to protect your eyes, hands_ face, ears,

a To avoid injury from accidentai b!ade contact,

doHt do iayout, assembly, or setup work ors the

tab!e while the b_ade is spinning. It could cut or

throw anything hitting the b_ade.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure switch is

in "OFF" position before plugging saw in.

Plan your work

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

ment 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 long hair.

Roil long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possibte hear-

ing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using

saw for tong 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 retain 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

withthe safety goggles.

3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no nails

or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be

cdt-

4. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-

BACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece binds

on the btade 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 work-

piece 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 fiat 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 awk-

ward workpieces:

Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,

etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when

not held down on the table top. NEVER use

another person as a substitute for a table exten-

sion, or as additional support for a workpiece that

is longer or wider than 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 fix-

ture= Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use length

stops against it. It must be free to move. If con-

fined, 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

even/thing except the workpiece and related sup-

port devices off the table.

45

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 tooJ with

either hand to hold down or support the workmece,

remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where

a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move

into a sawblade or other cutting tool.

DON'T OVERREACH Always keep gooo footing

and balance.

Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade.

NEVER feed material _nto the cutting tool from the

rear of the saw.

Always push the workplece all the way past the saw-

blade,

As mucn as 3ossible, keep your face and Dotty to

one s_de of the sawbtade 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 worKplece

and related feed or support devices for the cut

planned.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless

mistake. Always remember that acareless frac.

tion of a second is enough to cause asevere

injury.

t. 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.

Make sure the,_[co _f the ardor or cutting tool turns

toward [ne front ot the sa'v',

Set ;no cutting [oo_ as tow as possible for the cut

you're oiann_ng

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept

a safe d_stance from work Make sure bystanders

are c_ear of the saw and workpiece.

5, Let the b!ade reach full speed before cutting.

DON'T FORCE TOOL, It will do the job better and

safer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece into

the blade only fast enough to !et it cut without bog-

ging (]own or binding,

7. Before freeing any jammed material:

a. Turn switch "OFF"

D. Unplug the saw,

c. Wait for all moving 3arts 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 pieces beneath or trapped inside the

guard:

1 Turn saw off,

2. Remove switch key.

3. Unplug saw.

4. Wait for blade to stop before lifting tile guard.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

1. Turn saw off,

2. Wait for blade to stop splnning.

3. Mlake workshop cmld-proof. Lock the shop.

Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow

sw_tch key. Store it away from children and others

not qualified to use the too!,

4. Unplug the saw.

USING THE M_TER GAUGE

THE _IiTER GAUGE _8 USED WHEN CROSSOUT-

TING, MITER CUTT!NG, BEVEL CUTTING, COM-

POUND MITER CUTT!NG, DADOING and when RAB-

BETING AND MOLDING across the end of a narrow

workpiece.

WARNING: For your own safely, always observe

the fo_gowing safety precautions in addition to the

safety instructions on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 44, 45 &

46.

ADDIT_!ONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTIONS FOR

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

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 wit! not into€ere

with the sawb}ade 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 cuffing

To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter

gauge as shown in the BASIC SAW OPERA-

TIONS - USING THE MITER GAUGE.

NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting.

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 trail 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 bar and

the groove in the table is held to a minimum during

manufacturing.

For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge,

always, '_favo¢'one side of the groove in the table. In

other words, don't move the miter gauge from side to

side while cutting, but keep one side of the bar riding

against one side of the groove.

NOTE: Glue a p_ece of sanopaper 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 should be used on the miter

gauge for greater accuracy.

The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves

in the table. Make sure it is locked.

iWARNING: 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 grip the lock handle with your

right.

When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the WOrk-

piece with your right hand and the lock handle with your

left hand.

PIECE

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle

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 using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove,

hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head

with your left hand. and grip the lock handle with your

right.

When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the work_

piece with your right hand and tie knob with your left

hand. Use the Hold-Down Clamp on the miter gauge

for greater accuracy,

..... =

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING s the same as crosscutting

except that the wood is also cut at an angle...other than

90 degrees 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, it cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT

because the blade guard will interfere. Hold the work-

piece with your right hand and the Iockhandle with your

left hand.

Use the AUXILIARY FENCE,SNORK SUPPORT for

additional support of the workpiece.

Lay it across the guide bars to support the workplece

as near to the end as possible.

Use tie Hold-Down Clamp on the miter gauge for

greater accuracy.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of

miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at

an angle other than 90 degrees to both the edge and

the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the miter gauge and the b_ade to the desired

angle...Make sure miter gauge is locked.

from the blade. Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower

than 1/2 inch.

- When using a push stick or push block, the trailing

end of the board must be square. A push stick or

block against at uneven end could shp off or push

the work away from the fence.

Never rip anything shorter than !0" long.

Before starting

To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make

sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

Check the antFkickback pawls. The pawls must

stop a kickback once it has started. Replace or

sharpen antFkickback 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 anti-kick-

back pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore,

be especially careful in your set-up and cutting

proceaures.

Have blade extend approximately !/8 inch above

top of workpiece. Additional blade exposure

would increase the hazard potential.

While cutting

To avo=d kickbacks and slips into the blade,

always push forward on the section of the work-

pece between the saw blade and the rip fence.

Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

RIPPING

Ripping

A cutting operation along the length of the workpiece.

Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and

Iockin place.

Before starting to rip, be sure.

A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.

B. Spreader is properly aligned with sawbtade.

C. Antikickback pawls are functmonlng properly.

When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS.

always use a work support.

A simple one can be made by" clamping a p_ece of ply-

wood to a sawhorse.

BEVEL RIPPING NARROW WORK

When bevel ripping rnateriat! 6 _n. or narrower, use

fence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This wil! pro-

vide 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 interfere with eroper use

of a push stick.

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR

THRU-SAW_NG

Featherboards are not employed for thru sawing oper-

ations when using the miter gauge,

Featherboards are used to keep the Work in contact

with the fence and table as shown, and to help st(_;p

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 work,-

piece.

lWARNING: Make sure the featherboatd against

the edge presses only on the uncut portion (for-

ward of the blade), it might otherwise pinch the

blade in the kerr and cause a kickback.

Before starting the operation (turn switch "OFF" and

lower cutter below table surface):

(a) Install featherboards so they exert pressure on the

workpiece; be positive they are secure, and

(b) Make sure by trial that the featherboards wit stop a

kickback if one should occur.

Place a small block of wood between the bottom edge

of the table and the "C" clamp.

WARNING: For your safety:

1. Do not "Back Up" (reverse feeding) while

resawing because this could cause a kick-

back.

2. Make first pass to depth slightly more than

one=half the width of the board; keep the same

face of the board against fence for the second

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR

NON THRU-SAWING

Featherboaras are not employed during non tr_ru-saw-

ing operations when using the miter gauge.

Use featherboards for all other non "thru-sawing"

operations [when sawblade guard must be removedk

Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact

with the fence and table as shown, ana to stop kick-

backs.

Add 7-4/2 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 worK-

piece until cut is complete, and the workpiece has been

pushed completely past the cutter (sawblade. dado

head. molding head, etc.) with a pushstick, as _nrip-

ping.

Before starting the operation (turn switch "OFF" and

RABBETING

RABBETING is known as cutting out a section of the

corner 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 to required dimensions; then

make first cut with board flat on table as any rip

(type) cut; make second cut with workpieceon edge.

Follow all precautions, safety instructions, and oper-

ational instructions as for ripping, or rip type opera-

tions, including featherboards and push stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-

1/2" 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

instructions for cross cutting making successive cuts

across the width of cut. DO NOT use the rip fence

for rabbeting across the end.

I WARNING: For your own safety, install blade I
