-Usethe saw ina dry, indoor place protected from rain. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement.

• Keep work area well lighted. - Bolt or clamp the saw to firm level surface where there is_

• Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner's plenty of room to handle and properly support the work-_

manual for recommended accessories. The use of piece (See "Assembly-Mounting Your Saw" section).

Before Each Use

Support the saw so the table is level and the saw does

not rock,

When using a table extension longer than 12" attached

to any side of the saw, bolt the saw to a stationary sur-

face or prop up the outer end of the extension from the

floor or bench top to keep the saw from tipping.

Put the saw where neither operator nor bystanders

must stand in line with the sawblade.

..... - .... w

= To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure your

fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs wlqen

plugging in or unplugging the saw.

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.

inspect your saw.

o To avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the switch

off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before

raising or removing the guard, changing the cutting

tool, changing the setup, or adjusting anything. Make

sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.

Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov-

ing parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any

other conditions that may affect the way the saw

works.

If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any

electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off

and unplug the saw.

To Avoid injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)

oReplace damaged or missing parts before using the

saw again,

-Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback

pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes

through the top of the workpiece). Make sure the anti-

kickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader

is in line with sawblade (See "Assembly-Aligning Blade

Guard" section).

• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of

checking for and removing keys and adjusting

wrenches from table top before turning saw on.

• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts

have excessive play.

Inspect Your Blade.

• Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the

material and the type of cutting you plan to do.

•Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool or attachment to

do a job it was not designed for.

°Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels.

friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or

buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.

•Cut only wood. wood like or plastic materials. Do not

cut metal.

•Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:

-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

5000 rpm or higher.

- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to

fit this saw's 5/8 inch 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 closest

to the blade.

- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely.

- Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth. Con-

suit a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.

- Keep blades clean of gum and resin

- Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

•Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor

must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

° To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

• To avoid injury, don't do layout assembly, or setup

work on the table while blade is spinning. It could cut

or throw anything hitting the blade.

Plan your work

•Use the right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to do

a job it was not designed for.

Inspect your workpiece.

•Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece to be cut.

• 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 or fixtures where needed to

prevent workpiece from shifting.

• Use a different, better suited type of tool for work that

can't be made stable.

Plan your cut.

• To avoid kickbacks and throwbacks - when a part or all

of the workpiece binds on the blade and is thrown vio-

lently 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 or bind on the blade and kick back.

- Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

•Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces.

Safety Instructions For Table

- Use extra supports (tables_ saw horses blocks, etc._

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not hold

down to the table top. Never use anolher person as a

substitute for atable extension, or as additional sup.

port for aworkpiece that Ls longer or wJder than the

basic saw table, or to help feed. support or pull the

werkpiece.

"Never confine the piece being cut off. that is the piece

not against the rip fence, miter gauge or fixture Never

Additional Safety _nstructions

Rip Type Cuts.

oNever use the miler gauge when ripping.

,, Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade.

o When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push

block whenever the fence must be between !/2 and 2

inches of the blade.

o Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See

"Basic Saw Operations_Ripping and Beret Ripping"

sections.)

,, 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.

,, A Featherboard can help guide the workpiece. (see

"Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for Thru.-

Sawing." section)

° Always use featherboards for any non thru rip type cuts.

(See "Basic Saw Operations - Using Featherboards for

Non-Thru Sawing" section,

Before Starting.

,, To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

* Before thru-sawing, 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. (See "Maintaining Your Table Saw - Anti-

Kickback Pawls" section o)

° 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 setup and cutting procedures.

While Thru-sawing,

°To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push forward on

the piece being cut off.

NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the

outlet you are planning to use. Your local electrical code

may require slightly different power cord plug connec-

If the grounding instructions are not completely under-

stood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is prop-

erly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service

tions. If these differences exist refer to and make the

proper adjustments per your local code before your tool

is plugged in and turned on.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides apath of least resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped

with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding con-

ductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must

be plugged into amatching outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will notfit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Atemporary adapter may be used to connect this plug to

a2-prong outlet as shown if a properly grounded three

prong outlet is not available. This temporary adapter

should be used only until a properly grounded three

prong outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug or the like, extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-

ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc-

tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green

with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding

conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-ground-

ing conductor to alive terminal.

Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (continued)

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor

should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to

prevent sawdust buildup which will interfere with

normal motor ventilation.

1. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break-

ers may result if:

a. Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you

feed too rapidly or if saw is misaligned.

b, Motor circuit is fused differently from recommenda-

tions - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/

breaker. Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater

capacity without consulting 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 handled

safely on voltage not more than 10% above o r below

the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however.

require that voltage at motor terminals equals the

voltage specified on nameplate.

2. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-

rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage

(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to

overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the con-

nections, 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

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and

is in good condition.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-

heating and motor burn-out, use the table shown 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-prong receptacles which

accept the tool's plug.

Safety instructions for Basic Saw Operations,

Before Each Use

Inspect your saw.

*To avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the switch

off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before

raising or removing the guard, changing the cutting

tool, changing the setup, or adjusting anything.

oCheck for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov-

ing parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any

other conditions that may affect the way the saw

works.

°If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any

electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off

and unplug the saw.

oReplace damaged or missing parts before using the

saw again.

,Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback

pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes

through the top of the workpiece). Make sure the anti-

kickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader

is _nline with sawblade:

,, Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of

checking for and removing keys and wrenches from

table top before turning saw on.

o Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts

have excessive play.

To Avoid injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)

inspect Your Blade.

°Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the

material and the type of cutting you plan to do.

•Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool or attachment to

do a job it was not designed for.

•Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels,

friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or

buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.

•Cut only wood. wood like or plastic materials. Do not

cut metal.

• Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:

-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

5000 rpm or higher.

- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to

fit this saw's 5/8 inch 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 clos-

est to the blade.

- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely.

- Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth. Con-

suit a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.

- Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

- Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.

Inspect your work area.

•Keep work area clean.

•Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor

must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

°To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

•To avoid injury, don't do layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while blade is spinning. It could cut

or throw anything hitting the blade.

Plan your work

°Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face. ears.

,, Use the right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to do

ajob it was not designed for.

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.

o Wear nonslip footwear.

° Tie back long hair.

,, Rotl long sleeves above the elbow.

oNoise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using table

saw for hours at a time.

oAny power saw can throw foreign objects into the

eyes. This can result in 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

stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with

ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

oFor dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with

safety goggles.

Inspect your workpiece.

°Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece to be cut.

° When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your

work so it will not slip and pinch the blade:

oA piece of molding for example, must lie flat or be held

by afixture of jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip

while being cut. Use jigs or fixtures where needed to

prevent workpiece shifting,

"Use a different, better suited type of tool for work that

can't be made stable.

Safety instructions for Basic Saw Operations

Plan your cut.

-To avoid kickbacks and throwbacks which occur 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 or bind on the blade and kickback.

- Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

•Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces.

-Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, b locks, 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 sup-

port 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 fixture. Never

hold it. clamp it, touch it. or use length stops against it.

It must be free to move. If confined, it could get

wedged against the blade and cause a kickback or

throwback.

•Never cut more than one workpiece at a time,

•Never turn your table saw "ON" before clearing every-

thing except the workpiece and related support

devices off the table,

Whenever Sawblade is Spinning

iWARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your table saw) cause acare|ess mis-

take. Always remember that acareless fraction of

a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

•Never puJl the workpiece through. Start and finish

the cut from the front of the table saw.

oNever put your fingers or hands in the path of the

sawbiade or other cutting tool.

oNever reach in back of the cutting tool with either

hand to hold down or support the workpiece, to

remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

.Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause

fingers or a hand to move into a sawblade or other cut-

ting tool.

.Don't overreach. Always keep good footing and balance.

o Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade.

never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of

the saw.

o Always push the workpiece all the way past the saw-

blade.

•As much as possible, keep your face and body to one

side of the sawblade, out of line with a possible kick-

back or throwback.

•Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you're

planning.

Avoid Accidental Starting.

• Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw into a

power outlet.

Before freeing jammed material.

oBefore actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it

runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or

vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.

Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and cor-

° Turn switch "OFF".

recting the problem.

•Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns

toward the front of the saw.

Keep Children Away.

-Keep all visitors a safe distance from the table saw,

•Make sure bystanders are clear of the table saw and

workpiece.

Don't Force Tool ....

-Let the blade reach full speed before cutting-

.It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

•Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let

the blade cut without bogging down or binding,

To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside

Work Feed Devices ............. .......

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study a_ of the

"Basic Saw Operations".

As you learn new table saw woodworking techniques,

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

and feeding devices, known as jigs or fixtures. They can

heRp 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 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 instructions

for some simple ones. After you have made a few prac-

tice cuts, make up these jigs before starting any projects.

The use of these devices is explained in "Basic Saw

Operations" section,

describe one way you can make a push block.

Making the base:

•Start with apiece of 3/8 inch plywood at least 5-5/8

inches wide or wider and 12 inches tong or longer.

•Make two ripcuts. Perform the first ripcut along the side

of the 3/8" wide strip. Next, dpcut the 3/8" plywood to a

width of 5-1/8".

oCrosscut the 3/8" plywood to 12" long.

eCrosscut a 2-1/2" piece off the 3/8" wide by 3/8" thick

strip and save this short piece for later.

oThe next cuts wil! create the 3/8" by 9-1/2" notch in the

base, Mark the long edge of the board 2-1/2" from one

end. Make a crosscut into the edge on the mark, stop-

ping about 3/4" into the board. Set the saw and rip the

width to 4-3/4" along the same edge as the stopped

• Position the handle at the center of the plywood base

as shown. Fasten them together with glue and wood

screws.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the screw heads do not stick

out fmrn the bottom of the base, they must be flush or

recessed. The bottom must be flat and smooth enough to

slide along the auxiliary fence you are now ready to

make.

•Follow all safety precautions and operational instruc-

tions f0 r cross cutting.

°When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece,

make sure it is adequately supported.

WARNING: Never use the rip fence as a direct

length stop because the cutoff piece could bind

between the fence and the blade causing a kick-

back.

-When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6inches,

clamp a block of wood 3" tong to the fence at desired

length to act as a length stop.

-Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it

touches the block...hold the workpiece securely

against the miter gauge or clamp it with the hold-

down clamp (optional accessory not shown).

- Make the cut...turn the saw oft...remove the piece

after the blade has stopped and before cutting the

next piece.

WARNING: To avoid kickback from twisting the

workpiece, when clamping the block make sure

that the end of the block is well in front of the saw-

blade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

Additional Safety instructions for Rip Cuts

°Never use the miter gauge when ripping

• 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

inch es from the blade.

-Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch.

°Never rip anything shorter than 10" tong.

•When using a push stick or push block, the trailing end

of the workpiece must be square. A push stick or block

against an uneven end could slip off or push the work-

piece away from the fence.

-A featherboard can help guide the workpiece. (See

"Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for Thru-

Sawing" section.)

.Always use featherboards for any non thru-sawing rip

type cuts. (See "Basic Saw Operations-Using Feather-

boards for Non Thru-sawing" section)

Before Starting:

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

.Before thru-sawing, 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.

°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 setup and cutting procedures.

While Thru-sawing:

° To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push forward on

the piece being cut off.

Ripping

Definition: Cutting operation along the length of the work-

piece.

Position the fence to the desired width of rip and lock in

place.

Before starting to rip, be sure:

1. Rip fence is parallel to sawblade.

2. Spreader is properlyaligned with sawblade.

3. Anti-kickback pawls are functioning properly.

When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a

worksupport.A simple support can be made by clamping

a pieceof plywoodto a sawhorse.

WARNING: To avoid kickback, push forward only I

on the part of the workpiece that will pass between I

the blade and the fence.

Keep your hands out of the blade path.

Feed the workpiece by pushing forward only on the part

of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the

fence.

Stop your left thumb at the front edge of the table. Finish

the cut with the appropriate pusher. ]lade

Path

Ripping (continued)

Once the trai_ing end is on the table:

When "width of rip" is 2" or wider, use the push stick to

finish the work all the way past the blade.

Push Stick

When "width of rip" is narrower than 2" the push stick

cannot be used because the guard will interfere...use the

auxiliary fence and push block.

Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps.

Auxiliary

Fence

Feed the workpiece by hand along the auxiliary fence

until the end is approximately 1" past the front edge of the

table. Continue to feed using the push block.

Hold the workpiece in position and install the push block

by sliding it on top of the auxiliary fence/work support

(this may raise guard).

j WARN|NG: To avoid injury from blade contact 1

never thru-saw cuts narrower than 1/2" wide, I

Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary fence/w0rk sup-

port may enter the guard and strike the baffle, Carefully

rinse guard only enough to clear the workpiece. Use

push b_ock to complete cut.

Bevel Ripping Narrow Work

When bevel ripping material 6" or narrower, use fence on

the rtght side of the btade only. This will provide more

space between the fence and the sawblade for use of a

p_sh stick. If the fence is mounted to the left. the saw-

btade guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.

Using Featherboards for Thru-Sawing

Featherboards are not employed for thru-sawing opera-

tions when using the miter gauge.

Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with

the fence and table as shown, and to help stop kick-

backs.

Add a 7-1/2" high flat facing board to the fence, the full

tenth of the fence.

Mount teatherboards to facing board and table as shown,

so that leading edges of featherboards will support work-

piece,

tWARNING: Make sure the featherboard against the

edge presses only on the uncut portion (in front of

the blade), it might otherwise pinch the blade in

the k_f and cause a kickback

U-=- , _ •

Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and blade

bek_w table surface):

1. install featherboards so they exert pressure on the

workpiece; be positive they are securely attached.

2. Make sure by trial that the featherboards will stop a

kickback ifone should occur,

Resawing

Resawing is a rip cut made in a piece of wood through its

thickness. The piece is typically positioned on its edge, I{

the piece is narrower than 3-3/8" it can be resawn in one

pass with the blade guard in place. Extra supports or fix-

tures will be required when the edge resting on the table

is too narrow for the piece to be stable and when the

fence interferes with the blade guard. (See method

described below)

WARNING: Do not attempt to resaw bowed or]

warped material. _t can't be properly supported, it /

could kickback or bind.

NOTE: To resaw a piece of wood wider than 3-3/8", or a

piece needing extra support, it will be necessary to

remove the blade guard and use the auxilia,_ fence/work

support. (See "Wed<feed Devices".)

Clamp the auxiliary fence/work support, to the table so

that the workpiece will slide easily without binding

between the two fences and it will not tilt or move side-

ways.

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.

When Making

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 flat

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 featherboards and

push stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2"

and narrower, makethe rabbet cut with the board flat

on the table. Using the miter gauge fitted with a facin g,

follow the same procedures and instructions for cross

cutting makingsuccessive 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.

WARNaNG: For your own safety, turn sw_tch "OFF" I

and remove plug from power source outlet before l

making any adjustments.

Miter Gauge

NOTE: The slots for the stop pin and the graduations are

manufactured to very close tolerances which provide

accuracy for average woodworking. Un some cases

where extreme accuracy is required, when making angle

cuts, for exarnple, make atrial cut and then recheck it.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled

slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

1. Loosen the "knob" and pull "stop pin" out.

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

lockthe handle.

3. The head should be square with the bar and the

pointer should point to "0". Readjust the pointer if nec-

essary.

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

required.

A. Loosen the "knob" (1) and the "two screws" (2).

B. Position the head square withthe bar using acombi-

nation square. Tighten knob.

C. Push the stop pin into the slot in the head and twist

it.

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

square, loosen the screws (2) and readjust the indi-

cator block.

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

pushed into the slot, tighten the screws (2) and

adjust the pointer (3) to point to "0".

G.-rhe swiveling movement of the head can be

adjusted by tightening or loosening the setscrew (4)

using a 1/8 inch hex "L" wrench.

NOTE: The setscrew is located inside of the head. To

reach it, swivel the head to 60 ° and turn the miter gauge

upside down.

Adjustments (continued) ..............................................................

Heeling Adjustment or Parallelism of Saw-

blade to Miter Gauge Groove

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line

parallel to the sawblade. Therefore, both the miter gauge

groove and the rip fence must be parallel to the saw-

blade.

Blade

Guard-._ Sawblade

WARNING: The blade must be parallel to the miter

gauge groove. Misaligned blades could bind on

workpiece. Workpiece could suddenly kickback.

You could be cut or hit.

If the sawblade is not parallel to the miter gauge groove,

the blade will bind at one end of the cut. This is known as

"Heeling").

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start,

make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-

nected to power source outlet.

To check for parallelism:

1. Raise blade all the way up, raise blade guard.

2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which is set (bent) to

the left.

3. Place the head of a combination square in the groove.

Adjust blade of square so that is justtouches the tip of

the marked tooth.

4. Move square to rear, rotate blade to see if marked

tooth again touched blade of square.

5. If tooth touches square at front and rear sawblade is

parallel to miter gauge groove.

6. If tooth does not touch the same amount, the mecha-

nism underneath must be adjusted to make the blade

parallel to groove.

A. Rear trunnion must be moved toward to combination

square if there is aspace between marked tooth and

end of square in step 4.

B. Rear trunnion must be moved away from the square

if marked tooth pushed square out of position in the

groove.

7. Loosen all three screws that hold the rear trunnion and

all three screws that hold the front trunnion.

iWARNING: When reaching under table sawblade,

the teeth may be contacted causing injury. Wear

glove or remove blade.

NOTE: All six screws can be reached through back of

saw. Use a 9/16 inch wrench. To reach left-hand front

trunnion screw, tilt blade to 45°. After loosening

screws, reposition blade at 90°.
