Sears Brands Management Corporation
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
° Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lens-
es. They are NOT safety glasses.
° Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
° Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
* Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite acci-
dents,
,Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose
power tools to rain.
oWork area should be properly lighted.
° Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
°Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to
prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
°Keep power cords from coming in contact with sharp
objects, oil, grease and hot surfaces.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
°Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
.Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting pro-
cedures.
-Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
° Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
. Keep al! parts in working order. Check to determine that
the guard or other parts will operate properly and perform
their intended function.
. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any other condi-
tion that may affect a tool's operation.
°A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs.
(Use parts list provided to order replacement parts.)
•Maintain proper adjustment of rip fence and blade guard.
° Never adjust saw while running. Disconnect power to avoid
accidental start-up.
-Have damaged or worn power cords replaced immediately.
.Keep blade sharp for efficient and safest operation.
KNOW HOWTO USE TOOL
.Use right tool for job. Do not force too] or attachment to do
a job for which it was not designed.
.Disconnect tool when changing blade.
° Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the
"off" position before plugging in, turning on safety discon-
nect or activating breakers.
°Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
o Keep hands away from blade and moving parts and cutting
surfaces.
.Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off
and do not leave tool until it comes to acomplete stop.
° Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
o Know yourtoo]. Learn the tool's operation, application and
specific limitations.
° Handle workpiece correctly. Press firmly against table.
Protect hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too
deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the
work.)
• Feed work into the blade only as recommended in
"Operation"
WARNING; For your own safety, do not operate your saw until it
is completely assembled and installed according to instructions.
STABILITY OF SAW
If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move during
certain cutting operations, such as cutting extremely heavy
panels or long heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down.
tf you attach any kind of extensions over 24" wide to either
end of the saw, make sure you either bolt the saw to the floor,
as appropriate, or support the outer end of the extension from
the bench or floor, as appropriate.
LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a
casual observer is forced to stand in line with the saw blade.
KICKBACKS
A kickback occursduringa rip-typeoperationwhena part or
allof workpieceis thrownback violentlytowardoperator.
Keepyourface and bodyto one sideof the saw blade,outof
linewitha possible kickback.
Kickbacksand possibleinjuryfrom them can usuallybe avoid-
ed by:
•Maintainingripfence parallel to saw blade.
°Keepingsaw bladesharp.Replace or sharpen anti-kick-
backpawlswhenpointsbecomedull.
• Keepingsaw blade guard, spreader,andanti-kickback
pawls in placeand operatingproperly.The spreader must
be in alignmentwiththe saw bladeand the pawlsmust
stopa kickbackonceit hasstarted. Checktheir action
beforeripping.
• Not ripping workthatis twistedor warpedor doesnot
have a straight edge to guidealongthe rip fence.
• Not releasing workuntil youhave pushedit allthe way
pastthe saw blade.
•Usinga push stick for rippingwidthslessthan6 inches.
•Not confiningthe cutoffpiecewhen ripping orcrosscutting.
PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, BODY, EARS
• If any part of yoursaw is missing, malfunctioning, or has
beendamaged orbroken(such asthe motor switch, elec-
troniccontrols,otheroperatingcontrol,a safety device or
powercord),cease operatingimmediately until the partic-
ular part is properly.repairedorreplaced.
•Wear safety gogglesthat complywithUnitedStatesANSI
Z87.1 anda face shield or dustmask if operationis dusty.
Wear ear plugsor muffsduringextendedperiodsof oper-
ation.
• Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact
the rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back at the
operator at excessive speed. This can usually be avoided
by keeping the guard and spreader in place for all thru-
sawing operations (sawing entirely thru work) and by
removing all loose pieces from the table with a long stick
of wood immediately after they are cut off.
• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is removed for
resawing, dadoing, or rabbeting--replace guard as soon
as that operation is completed.
°Never turn the saw ON before clearing the table of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related
feed or support devices for the operation planned.
°Never place your face or body in line with the cutting tool.
°Never place your fingers or hands in path of saw blade or
other cutting tool.
° For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a workpiece to
which a push stick or push board is applied must be
square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed
pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick or
block does not cause the workpiece to come away from
the fence, and possibly cause a kickback.
•During rip and rip-type cuts, workpiece must be held down
on table and against fence with a push stick, push block,
or featherboards, as applicable (see Figures la and l b,
page 4).
Push Stick: A safety device used to push the workpiece
through a cutting operation. Used most often when rip cutting
thin workpieces.
The push stick and push block examples shown below are use-
ful for keeping hands and fingers away from saw blade during
ripping, rabbeting and dadoing. Apply downward pressure and
push workpiece through the cut and past the blades. Several
other configurations may be suitable for safe operation.
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the rip
fence or table during the cutting operation. Use of featherboards
can help to prevent kickbacks and binding. Featherboards
should be used for all "non thru-sawing" operations.
•Never reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to
hold down or support the workpiece, 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 saw blade or other cutting tool.
°Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
•Do not perform any operation freehand--always use either
rip fence or miter gauge to position and guide the work.
°Never use the rip fence when cross-cutting or the miter gauge
when ripping. Do not use rip fence as a length stop. Never
hold onto or touch free-end of workpiece or a free-piece that
is cut off, while power is ON and/or saw blade is rotating.
•Shut the saw OFF and disconnect power source when
removing the table insert, changing the cutting tool,
removing or replacing the blade guard, or making adjust-
ments.

Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw
table for wide or long workpieces.
Plastic and composition materials (like hardboard) 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 attentive to following
proper setup and cutting procedures for ripping. Do not
stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a poten-
tial kickback.
If you stall or jam the saw blade in the workpiece, turn saw
OFF and remove the workpiece from the saw blade.
Check to see if the saw blade is parallel to the miter
gauge grooves and if the spreader is in proper alignment
with the saw blade. If ripping at the time, check to see if
the rip fence is parallel with the saw blade. Readjust as
required.

CHECK TABLE ALIGNMENT
Refer to Figures 21, 22 and 23, page 10. _.-
• Saws are shipped from the factory withthe tableadjusted
so the mitergaugeslotsare parallel to the saw blade.
However,in orderto obtainthe best resultsfrom the saw, it
is suggested thisadjustmentbe checkedbeforeoperating.
•A simple method of checkingalignment isas follows: Bolt
orclampa dowelrod or similar objectto mitergauge (a
combinationsquarecan be substituted). Pick outa tooth
onfront of bla_leand setthe dowel to it so it isjusttouch-
ing.Move sametoothto backof blade.
•Gauge thistoothwiththe dowel rod. If the tooth is in the
same position,relative to the miter gauge slot, the tableis
paral]elwiththe blade. In short, the mitergauge slots must
be parallelwiththe blade. This means that whenmeasur-
ing distancebetween blade and mitergauge slot atthe
front and rear of the blade,the distanceswillbe equal
(see Figure21).
NOTE: Be sure to measure the distance ormake the test
onthe same toothof the saw blade in both front and rear
positions.

°If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: Loosen
and remove the six socket pan head screws and the rear
panel (see Figure 22). Loosen the three hex head bolts on
the trunnion (see Figure 23) and shift trunnions until a
position is found where the saw blade is parallel to the
miter guage slots.
NOTE: Saw blade should also be centered within its table
insert opening.

Figure 52 -Riving Knife
WARNING: For your own safety, always observe the follow-
ing safety precautions.
•Never make any cut freehand (without using miter gauge
or rip fence). Blade can bind in the cut and cause a kick-
back.
• Always lock miter gauge or rip fence securely when in use.
•Remove rip fence from the table when miter gauge is in
use.
• Remove miter gauge from table when rip fence is in use.
• Make sure blade guard is installed for all "through sawing"
operations. Through sawing operations are those opera-
tions in which the saw blade cuts completely through the
thickness of the wood. Replace guard immediately after
completion of resawing, rabbeting and dadoing.
Frequently check action of anti-kickback pawls by passing
the workpiece alongside the spreader while saw is off. Pull
the workpiece toward you. If the pawls do not dig into the
workpiece and hold it, the pawls must be sharpened. (See
Maintenance section, page 19.)
•Have blade extend approximately 1/_,above top of work-
piece. Additional blade exposure increases hazard
potential.
• Do not stand directly in front of blade in case of a kick-
back. Stand to either side of the blade.
• Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of
the blade.
• If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn switch OFF
and safety disconnect OFF before attempting to free the
blade.
• Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the work-
piece through the cut, to support long or heavy work-
pieces, to remove small cut-off pieces of material or for
any other reason.
• Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. Remove them by pushing them off table with a long
stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the
rear of the blade.
• Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
become trapped inside blade guard while saw is on. This
could endanger your hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw
off. After blade has stopped turning, lift guard and remove
the piece.
• Always lower blade below the table level when machine is
not in use.
TYPES OF CUTS/OPERATIONS
THROUGH CUTS
A through cut is a sawing operation in which the workpiece is
completely sawn through. Examples of through cuts are rip
cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, and beveled cuts. The blade
guard assembly MUST be used when performing through
cuts.
CROSSCUTTING
WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent
binding of the guard against the workpiece.
This cut is performed with the miter gauge set at "0", and is
used for cutting across the workpiece grain at 90 °(blade
square with both the edge and flat side of wood).
MITER CUTTING
WARNING: Miter angles greater than 45" may force the
blade guard assembly into the saw blade causing damage to
the blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting
the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the
blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts
the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assem-
bly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor.
WARNING: Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may
not lift the blade guard assembly properly. With the power off,
feed the workpiece slowly into the blade guard area and until
the workpiece touches the blade. If the blade guard assembly
contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade
guard assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the
motor.
This cut is performed with the miter gauge, and is used for
cutting at an angle other than 90 °square with the edge of the
workpiece.
-18
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
WARNING: When possible, use the right miter gauge slot
whenbeveIcrosscuttingso that the bladetiltsaway from the
miter gaugeandyour hands.
WARNING: Use cautionwhenstartingthe cut to prevent
bindingof the guardagainstthe workpiece.
This cut is performedwiththe miter gauge,and is the same
as crosscutting,exceptthat the workpieceis alsocut at an
angleotherthan90°squareto the flat sideof the wood(blade
is at an angle).
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
Thiscut is performedwith the miter gauge, and is a combina-
tionof miter cuttingand bevel crosscutting.The cut is made at
angleotherthan90° to both the edgeand flat side of wood.
RIPPING
WARNING: When bevel ripping and whenever possible,
place the fence on the side of the blade so that the blade is
tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep hands clear of the
blade and use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there is
less than 6" between the fence and the blade.
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to cut the
workpiece lengthwise with the grain. Position the fence to the
desired width of rip and lock in piace. When ripping long
boards or large panels, always use a work support.
BEVEL RIPPING
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power
source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard
assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance
with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel
angle.
WARNING: When possible, place the fence on the right side
of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence
and hands. Keep your hands clear of the blade and use a
pushstick to feed the workpiece if there is less than 6"
between the fence and the blade.
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is the same as
ripping, except that the blade is set at an angle other than 90 °.
RESAWlNG
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to rip a
workpiece through its thickness rather than across its flat
width. Do not attempt to resaw bowed or warped material.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove blade guard and use
work supports as weII as push blocks when performing this
operation.
WARNING: Install blade guard immediately upon completion
of resawing operation.
PLOUGHING
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to make
a groove lengthwise with the grain of the workpiece. Use
proper hold downs and feed devices.
RABBETING
This cut is performed with either the miter gauge or rip fence.
Rabbeting is used to cut out a section of the corner of a
workpiece, across an end or along an edge. To make a rabbet
requires cuts which do not go all the way through the materi-
al. Therefore, blade guard must be removed. Install blade
guard immediately upon completion of rabbeting operation.
Rabbet cuts can also be made using dado head.
DADOING
This cut is performed with either the miter gauge or rip fence.
Dadoing is done with a set of blades (dado set) rather than
standard saw blades. The dado set is used to groove wood
similar to ploughing and rabbeting. However, the dado set
allows operator to remove more material in one pass. The
operator, with a dado set, can Vary width of cut up to _0".
Instructions for operating dado set are contained in owner's
manual furnished with dado set. Dadoing requires cuts which
do not go all the way through material. Therefore, blade guard
must be removed. Dado sets have different characteristics
than saw blades. As a result, saw must be fitted with special
parts that are not furnished with saw (Dado Insert, Part No.
31158.00).
The maximum dado blade set that can be used on this saw is
%" I.D. x 8" O.D. x '_" Wide.
IMPORTANT: Always use correct insert. When using the
dado set, use caution. Use featherboards and push sticks as
applicable.
WARNING: Always immediately replace the standard blade,
blade guard and blade insert when you are finished dadoing.
FREEHAND
Freehand is a very dangerous operation of making a cut with-
out using the miter gauge or rip fence. Freehand cuts must
never be performed on a Table Saw.
CUTTING OVERSIZED WORKPIECES
When cutting long workpieces or large panels, always support
workpiece that is not on table. Use adjustable roller stand or
make simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to saw
horse. Add facings to miter gauge or rip fence as needed.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow facings to interfere with operation
of blade guard.
DUST COLLECTING
• Saw is fitted with a 4" male exhaust port.
•Before starting saw, see that all adjustments are properly
made and guards in place. With power disconnected, turn
pulley by hand to make sure everything is correct before
connecting power and starting saw.

WARNING: Do not attempt under any circumstances, to
service,repair,dismantle, or disassemble any mechanical
or electrical componentswithoutphysicallydisconnecting all
power soumes.
CLEANING
Clean off any preservative on bright (machined) parts with
appropriate solvent (mineral spirits). Avoid getting cleaning
fluid on any rubber parts as they tend to deteriorate
rubber.
• Use soap and soft water on rubber and plastic parts.
°After cleaning, lubricate unpainted surfaces with a light
application of medium consistency machine oil. This lubri-
cation should be repeated at least once every six months.
NOTE: Instead of oil, a good quality paste wax can be applied
to rip fence and table surface. Paste wax will enhance move-
ment of workpieces. In addition to providing lubrication, paste
wax will help prevent rusting.
= Keep your machine and your workshop clean. Do not allow
sawdust to accumulate on saw or inside cabinet.
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust that may
accumulate within cabinet.
• Be certain motor and internal mechanisms are clean and
are frequently vacuumed or blown free of any dirt.
LUBRICATION
All bearings on the arbor are shielded ball bearings. These
bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory.
• As needed, clean the grease off the rack and worm gears
of height and tilt mechanism. Lubricate rack and gears
with a medium viscosity machine oil.
• Be sure to lubricate trunnion ways and all bushings.
• Occasionally oil all other bearing points, including bIade
guard assembly, miter gauge and rip fence.
SERVICE
• Replacebeltsandworn parts as needed.If power cords
are worn,cut, ordamaged in any way,havethem
