SECURE ALL WORK. When practical, use clamps or a vise to hold work. It is safer than using your hands and prevents round or odd-shaped pieces from turning. 2. ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence. 23. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only. , 24. WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be injurious to your health. Always operate saw in well ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal. 25. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. GUIDELINES FOR If you an extension are using EXTENSION USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick pattern included in this Instruction Manual. 4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE HAND", which means using your hands only to support or guide the work piece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work. 5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade, Keep your hands out of the line of the saw blade. 6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason. 7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross*cutting. 8. DO NOT USE molding head set with this saw. 9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only. CORDS cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. Be sure your extension cord is properly wired, and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas, 10. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting. 11. NEVER ATTEMPTTO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without first turning the saw OFF.

NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL running unattended. Don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. 20. For proper operation, this saw must be mounted Prong Propedy Grounded 3-Prong Oullet which may make I_ II Make Sure This is Connected to a Known Ground 2-Prong Receptacle to the leg set provided, or follow the instructions on page 10 of this owners manual titled "SAW MOUNTED TO OTHER SURFACES." Failure to provide sawdust tall- through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area, which may result in a fire hazard or cause motor damage. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a column's path 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 conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFYTHE 3-PRONG PLUG...if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green (sometimes, but not always, with yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. SAVE THESE :_ : _ FIGURE (A)...shows a 3-wire electrical plug end outlet that has a grounding conductor, If a properly grounded outlet is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded outlet. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters. THE ADAPTER SHOULD ONLY BE USED UNTIL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET CAN BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN, If you have any doubts as to whether the tool is properly grounded or if the grounding instructions are unclear, check with.a qualified electrician or service personnel. When using a grounded tool around other ungrounded devices, be sure that the ungrounded devices are in good condition. An ungrounded device can function, yet have internal electrical problems that could cause a hazard when brought in contact with a grounded tool. USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.

If the motor stops during operation, turn the ON / OFF switch to the OFF position. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool. Push in on the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position. TILTING THE BLADE (FIG. U) To tilt the saw blade for bevel cutting, loosen lock knob (2) and turn the tilting handwheel (3). Tighten the lock knob (2) when the desired angle is reached. Pr - l lI ON / OFF SWITCH (FIG. V) The ON / OFF switch has a removable key. With the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized. 1. To turn the saw ON, insert key (1) into the slot in the switch (2). Move the switch upward to the ON position. 2. To turn the saw OFR move the switch downward. 3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end (or yellow part) of the switch toggle (1), and pull it out. 4. With the switch key removed, the switch will not operate. 5. If the switch key is removed while the saw is running, it can be turned OFF but cannot be restarted without inserting the switch key (1). The ON / OFF switch should be in the OFF position, and the plug removed from the power source while the cool down takes place to prevent accidental starting when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or dull blade. Inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again. Page 16 CUTTING r! =j OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping end cross cutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Cross cutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor cross cutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and cross cutting requires the miter gauge. AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward that section of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence. Fig. W CAUTION k_ (_ Before using the saw each and every time, check the following: %/ 1. Blade is tight on the arbor. 2. Bevel angle lock knob is tight. 3. If ripping, fence knob is tight and fence is parallel to the miter gauge grooves. 4. Blade guard is in place and working properly. 5. Safety glasses are being worn. The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury. 6. 7. 9. r[_lLVJVl_,1 ;t _,I I_[_ Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the table. 2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 inch higher than the top of the workpiece. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece about 1 inch away from the blade. 3. CAUTION: The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed. 4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up to speed. 5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will pass between the blade and the fence. (FIG. W) : : : : . _,_ k._ k._ Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), finish the cut with a push stick. The push stick (3) should always be used when the ripped workpiece is 2 inches or wider (1). (FIG. X) Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table. Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely stops raise the anti-kickback pawls on each side of the splitter and slide the workpiece out. Do not altow familiarity gained from the frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury. 1. _ 1 8. RIPPING -C; k._. k._. Fig. X Page 17 BEVEL RIPPING This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0 °. Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the blade. RIPPING SMALL PIECES Avoid injury from blade contact. Never make through-saw cuts narrower than 1/2 inch wide. 1. 2. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece. When a small width is to be ripped and your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move the workpiece. CROSS CUTTING (FIG.Y) Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury. 1. 2. 3. BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Z) This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°. 1. Adjust the blade to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel lock knob. 2. Always work to the right side of the blade. The miter gauge must be in the right side groove. It cannot be used in the left side groove because it will interfere with the blade guard. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the right side groove. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 inch higher than the top of the workpiece. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to one inch distance from the blade. Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade. 4, 5. 6. Start the saw and wait for the blade to come up to full speed. Keep the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge and flat against the table, Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade (FIG. X) Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped. COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG, AA) This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle. 1. Set the miter gauge to the desired angle. Use only the right side groove. 2. Set the blade bevel to the desired angle. 3. Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the cutting operation. Page 18 3 ! i Fig. AA MITERING (FIG. BB) This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90 ° . 1. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge. 2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade to prevent the workpiece from moving. Fig. CC DADO CUTS (FIG. DD) 1. The dado table insert is included with tills saw. Remove saw blade, blade guard, installed dado, and dado table insert. 2. Instructions for operating the dado are packed with the separately purchased dado set. 3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width of the cut to 1/2 inch. 4. It is not necessary to install the outside flange (2) before screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that the arbor nut (3) is tight, and that at least one thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut. 5. Use only the 6 inch dado set and keep the width 1/2 inch or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade guard and splitter when using dado. Use caution when dado is operating. 6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's instruction manual. Blade or chipper must not exceed 1/2". 7. Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the housing, insert, or motor when in operation. For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished with the dado operation. Fig. BB ioll USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. CC) When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2): 1. Use a smooth straight 3/4 inch thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence. 2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table. ,'2 J J \ \ \3 Fig. DD Page 19 MAINTAINING MAINTENANCE YOUR TABLE SAW - GENERAL For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the switch key. Remove the plug from the power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your saw. 1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated the saw cabinet and the motor. inside 2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep it clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece. 3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover. 4. A worn, cut, or damaged power cord should be replaced immediately, 5 Fig. EE All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted only by a trained repair technician. Contact the nearest Sears store for service. Use only identical replacement parts. Any other parts may create a hazard. 5.

If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, take the complete unit to a Sears Authorized Service Center. MAINTENANCE - BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM LUBRICATION After each five hours of operation, the blade raising mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked for looseness, binding, or other abnormalities. With the saw disconnected from the power source, turn the saw upside down and alternately pull upward and downward on the motor unit. Observe any movement of the motor mounting mechanism. Looseness or play in the blade raising screw (1) (FIG. EE) should be adjusted as follows: 1. Loosen nut (2). 2. Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the bracket (4), then back off the nut (3) 1/6 turn. 3. Tighten nut (2) while holding nut (3). Maximum allowable play of screw rod (1) is 4 mm. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional lubrication. On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.
