SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
EXTENSION
ELECTRICAL
CORDS
This tool is powered by a precision bu(It electricmotor.
It should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do
not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, double check the power supply.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord
heavy enough to ¢arry the current that the tool will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the
motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used.
"Ampere
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,000 rpm.
Thisspeed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
importantas the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor.
Wirethat is heavy enough for a short distance will be too
light for a greater distance. A linethat can support one
power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

PUSHSTICKS
• Dado or molding cuts with optional accessories
II Cabinet making and woodworking
NOTE=This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood
composition products only.
BASIC OPERATION
OF THE TABLE SAW
The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded according to all
local codes and ordinances, Improper connection of the
equipment can result in electric shock. Do not modify
the plug if it will not fit the outlet. Have the correct outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the Electrical
section in this manual.
PUSHBLOCKS
Fig. 18
CAUSES OF KICKBACK
• Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades.
Never make cuts with dull blades.
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, kicking the workpiece back toward you with great force and
speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may
be jerked loose from the workplace and may contact the
blade. Kiokback can cause serious injury. Use precautions
to avoid the risks.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly
before beginning a cut.
• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
force cuts.
• DO not cut wet or warped lumber.
Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the
blade in the wood such as;
• SaWing into knots or nails in the workplace
• Always hold your werkpieee firmly with both hands or
with push st[cks. Keep your body [na balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should it occur.
Never stand directly in line with the blade,
• Twistingthe wood while making a cut
•
• Failing to support work

blade
AVOIDING
Push sticks •are devices used for safely pushing a
workplace through the blade. They can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood to use in a specific
project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece,
with a 90° notch in one end and shaping for a grip on the
other end.
A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws
from the underside. Use it on non-through cuts.
KICKBACK
CAUTION; Be sure the screws in a push block are
recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workplace.
• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of
the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 in. to
1/4 in.
•
Use the right type of blade for the cut being made,
Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a
cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never
saw into a loose knot or nail.
• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting and the miter
gauge when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting
the wood in the cut.
20
TYPES OF CUTS
See Figure 19.
There are six basic outs: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut, 3)
the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel rip cut,
and 6) the compound (bevel) miter cut. All other cuts are
combinations of these basic six. Operating procedures for
making each kind of cut are given Laterin this section.
CROSSCUT
_k, WARNING" Always make sure the blade guard
and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working
properly when making these cuts to avoid possible
injury.
Cross cuts are straight g0 ° cuts made across the grain of
the workpieee. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90" angle
to the blade, and the blade is vertical.
RIP CUT
Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood_ To avoid
kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of
the wood rides firmly against the rip fence.
Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the
blade other than 90% The blade is vertical. Miter cuts
tend to "creep" away from the miter fence during cutting.
This can be controtled by holding the workpiece securely
against the miter fence.
MITERCUT
o
A
AML WARNING:
Always use a push stick with small
pieces of wood, and also to finish the cut when
ripping a long narrow piece ef wood, to prevent your
hands from getting close to the blade.
BEVELCROSSCUT
Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross
cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts arewlth
the grain. The rip fence must always be on the right side
of the blade for bevel rip cuts,
Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an angled
blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be thoroughly
familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, and
miter cuts before trying a compound miter cut.
CUTTING

TIPS
Bade and rabbet cuts are non-through cuts which can
be either rip cuts or cross cuts. Carefully read and understand all sections of this operator's manual before at-
tempting any operation.

•
•
The kerr (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be
wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding.
Make allowance for the kerr when measuring wood.
Make sure the kerr is made on the waste side of the
measuring line.

FEATHERBOARD
HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD
A fsatherboard is a device used to help control the
workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or
fence. Featherboards are especially usefut when ripping
small workpiecee and for completing non-through cuts_
The end is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a
friction hold on the workpiece and locked in place on the
table with a C-clamp. Test that it can resist kickback.
See Figure 21.
_,
Completely lower the saw blade. Position the rip fence to
the desired adjustment for the cut to be performed and
lock the rip fence, Place the workpiece against the fence
and over the saw blade area, Adjust the featherboard
to apply resistance to the workpiece just forward of the
blade. Attach a C-clamp to secure the featherboard to the
edge of the saw table.
WARNING: Place the featherboard against the
uncut portion of the workpiece to avoid kickback that
could Cause serioUSpersonal iniury.
_k
WARNING:
DO not locate the featherboard to
the rear of the workplace. If positioned improperly,
kickback can resultfrom the featherboard pinching
the workpiece and bindingthe blade in the saw kerf.
Failureto heed this warning can result in serious
persona] injury.
HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD
See Figure 20.
The featherboard is an excellent project for your saw.
Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in.
thick, 3-5/8 in. wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of
the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the
width to 30 ° and miter the other half of the same end
to 45" (see page 28 for information on miter cuts). Mark
the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in. and 12 in,
Drill a 3/8 in. hole atthe 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.
