READ and become familiar with this entire Operator's Manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations and possible hazards. 2. [A, WARNING I . , , 15 REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON. 16 NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER "OFF". Do not leave the tool before it comes to a complete stop. 17 NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. Look for this symbol that identifies important safety precautions. It means CAUTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! 18 DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. NEVER OPERATE THIS MACHINE WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARD IN PLACE FOR ALL THROUGH SAWING OPERATIONS. 19. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for most efficient and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT such as damp or wet locations or exposure to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. 6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area. 8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it is not designed. 20. CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR LOOSE PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, loose mounting and any other conditions that may affect its safe operation. A guard or other part that is loose or damaged should be properly adjusted repaired or replaced. 21. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys. 22. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that could impair your ability to use the tool safely. 10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 23. USE DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM wherever possible. Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health and in some cases, a fire hazard. Always operate the power tool in a wellventilated area with adequate dust removal. 11. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing, cutting and sanding operations produce dust. 24. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes that could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break. 12. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, cutters, etc. 13. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging into the power supply. 14. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the Operator's Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause injury to you or damage to the tool. 25. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only. , 2. , , ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which they can be used, including through sawing. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or crosscutting. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence. USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push stick especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this Operator's Manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is included on page 30. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE HAND, which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work. WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICK-BACK & FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS. 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 saw blade path. 6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason. 7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting. 8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw. 9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only. 10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting. 11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor damage. 12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces. 13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, antikickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release work before it has passed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it along the fence. 14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the saw blade. 15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts. 16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 9. 17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust. 18. ALWAYS USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for additional sawdust removal. 19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until it comes to a complete stop. 20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this Operator's Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS (Page 9). Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage. POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS I A WARNING] To avoidelectrical hazards,fire hazardsor damage tothe tablesaw, use propercircuit protection. Always use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This power tool is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect it to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace the cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way. EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS I n WARNING] Any extension cord must be GROUNDED for safe operation. MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG type / 120 Volt only) Ampere Rating Total length in feet Not More Than More Than 25' 50' 100' 150' 0 6 18 16 16 14 6 10 18 16 14 12 10 12 16 16 14 12 _1 _12: GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be grounded (3-wire with two flat prongs and one round ground prong). GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor (wire) with the green insulation (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 grounding conductor to a live terminal. CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole grounding receptacles that accept the saw's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, make sure you use one heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table above shows the correct size to use according to extension cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord. NOTE: The 12 to 16 Amp rating is correct for this tool. It is highlighted in the table above. Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good 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. Before connecting the saw to the extension cord, make sure the saw switch is turned OFF. 3_P_r_l _,t_/ _ .Jbr_ Plug Make Sure This II is Conr, ec_ed toa Known Ground 2-Prong _s Ad_pt_--:._ Receptacle RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES [_ WARNING I Visit your Sears Hardware Department or see the Craftsman Power and Hand Tools Catalog to purchase recommended accessories for this power tool.

Loosen the two nuts (1) and the right side screw, then adjust the left side screw. 2. Tighten the nuts (1) and the right screw and remeasure, as described in steps 4 to 9 in the prior section. If the blade is partial to left side: 3. Loosen the two nuts (1) and the left side screw, then adjust the right screw. 4. Tighten the nuts (1) and the left screw and remeasure, as described in steps 4 to 9 in the prior section. 5. Recheck blade clearance making sure that the blade does not hit the table insert or other parts when at the 90 ° and 45 ° settings. Fig. S f_ BASIC SAW OPERATIONS RAISE THE BLADE (FIG. T) To raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation handwheel (1) to the desired blade height, and then tighten lock handle (2) to maintain the desired blade angle. OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. U) This saw has an overload relay button (3) that resets the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. 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. l_k WARNING] Fig. T 3 1 2 TILTING THE BLADE (FIG. T) 1. To tilt the saw blade for bevel cutting, loosen the lock knob (2) and turn the tilting handwheel (3). 2. Tighten the lock knobs (2) to secure. ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. U) The ON / OFF switch has a removal key. With the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized. To avoid injury, 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 a dull blade. Inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again. USING THE TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. V, V-l) If the table extension is not parallel with the table. Remove the bolts (1) and position the parallel washers (2) between the table extension and tube until it is parallel with the table, then tighten the bolts. NOTE: Paeallel washer (2) see page 6 for table of loose parts ITEM: W-2 Fig. V j_ 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 OFF, 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). NOTE: Move and lock the fence to the 15" left or right side scale. The fence is now clear of the table. Fig. U 3. 1. 2. Release the extension lock handles. Slide the extension out until the correct measurement is displayed on the tube scale. The user sights the scale off the edge of the table. Tighten all extension lock handles. 3 Fig. V-1 CUTTING OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge. LA Fig. W WARNINGJ 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. RIPPING (FIG. W, X) WARNING I To prevent serious injury: • Never use the miter gauge when ripping. • Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut. • Do not allow familiarity or 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. • Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the blade. • The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed. NOTE: When width or rop is 2" to 6" wide use the push stick to feed the work. When width of rop is narrower than 2" the push stick cannot be used because the guard will interfere... Use the auxiliary fence as page 19. 6. 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. Make a push stick using the pattern on page 30. 7. The push stick (3) should always be used when the ripped workpiece is 2" to 6" wide. (Fig. X) 8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table. 9. Never pull the piece 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. Fig. X 1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the table. 2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" higher than the top of the workpiece. 3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece about 1" away from the blade. 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 (t) that will pass between the blade and the fence. (Fig. W) 2 [,_, WARNING] AVOID KICKBACK by pushingforwardon thesection oftheworkpiecethatpasses between thebladeand thefence. I BEVEL RIPPING This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than "0". Fig. Y 3 2 WARNING I Cutonlywiththeworkpieceand thefenceon theright sideoftheblade. RIPPING SMALL PIECES I_WARNING I Avoid injury fromthebladecontact. Never make throughsaw cutsnarrowerthan I/2"wide. 1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece. 2. 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. Fig. Y-1 CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Y) WARNING I To preventseriousinjury: • Do notallowfamiliarity orfrequentuse ofyourtable saw tocause carelessmistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction ofa second isenough to cause a severe injury. • Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade. BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Z) This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°. 1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel lock knob. Fig. 1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the left side groove. 2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" higher than the top of the workpiece. 3. 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. 4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (t) to come up to full speed. 5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge (3) and flat against the face of the gauge and flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade. (Fig. Y) 6. 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. USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (Fig. Y-l) Slots are provided in the miter gauge of attaching an auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse. ! 2 COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA) This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle. 1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle. Use only the left side groove (2). 2. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired angle. 3. Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the cutting operation. Fig. AA 3 2 1 MITERING (FIG. BB) This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than g0 ° 1. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the miter gauge (3). 2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to prevent the workpiece from moving. Fig. CC-1 30" ,_ 3/8" Thick p_ywood base _._;_" __ tr _ Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps. (Fig. CC-2) Fig. CC-2 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" thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence. 2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw (3) through the hole 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. Fig. CC AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. CC-1) Making the base: • Start with a piece of 3/8" plywood at least 5-1/2" wide or wider and 30" long or longer. • Cut the piece to shape and size shown: Making the side: • Start with a piece of 3/4" plywood at least 2-3/8" wide or wider and 27" long or longer/ • Cut the piece to shape and size shown: Putting it together: • Put the pieces together, as shown: DADO CUTS (FIG. DD) 1. The dado table insert is included with this saw. Remove saw blade, blade guard, installed dado, and dado table insert. 2. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the separately purchased dado set. 3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width of the cut to 1/2". 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" dado set and keep the width t/2" or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade guard and splitter when using a dado blade. Always use caution when operating a dado blade. 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. IZlWARNING l For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished with the dado ..... *;^_ Fig. DD j2 J J WARNING I Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the bottom of the base, they must be flush or recessed. The bottom must be flat and smooth enough to rest on the saw table without rocking. \ \ _3 MAINTAINING GENERAL YOUR TABLE SAW Fig. EE MAINTENANCE IA WARNING I 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 inside the saw cabinet and the motor. 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. WARNING I All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted only by a trained repair technician.
