insulation havTngan outer surface that is green with

or without yellow stripes is the equipment-ground-

ing conductor. If repairor replacement of the electric

cord or plug is necessary,do not connect the equip-

ment-grounding conductor to a liveterminal. Repair

or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay

constantly aware of cord location and keep it we]l away

from the rotating blade.

•INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and

replace if damaged.

•GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-

prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole

electrical receptacle.

•CHECK WITH AQUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service

personnel if the grounding instructionsare not com-

pletely understood or if indoubt as to whether the tool

iS propedy grounded.

that are not listed may cause the risk of personal

injuw, Instructions for safe use of accessories are

included with the accessory.

•DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is

tight and not making contact with saw or workplace

before connecting to power supply.

•GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs

when the blade stallsrapidly and workplace is driven

back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into

the blade resultingin sedous personal injury. Stay out

of blade path and turn switch Offimmediately if blade

binds or stalls.

•USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge

guide when ripping.

•SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade

pinching and kickback, always support ]argo panels.

before transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in

an accident causing possible serious personaL injury.

•ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE/

SPREADER/SPLrrrER, AND ANTI-KICKBACK

PAWLS on all "through-sawing" operations. Through-

sawing operations are these in which the blade cuts

completelythrough the workplace as in ripping or

crosscutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-

kickback pawls down, and the rivingknife/spreader/

splitter properly aligned to the saw blade.

•ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against rip fence,

miter fence, or miter gauge.

• ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NAR-

ROW STOCK, A push stick is a device used to push

aworkpiece through the blade instead of using your

hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must

always be narrower than the workplace to prevent the

push stick from contacting the saw blade_When ripping

narrow stock, always use a push stick,so your hand does

not come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboardand

push blocks for non-through cuts.

•NEVER perform any operation "freehand" which

means using only your hands to support or guide the

workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or miter

gauge to position and guide the work.

•NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line

with the path of the saw blade.

•NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of

the blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.

• MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross

cutting,

•NEVER use rip fence as cutoff gauge when cross

cutting.

• NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without

first turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw

from the power source.

•PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and

sides of the saw table for wide or longwork pieces.

Use a sturdy "outrigger" support if atable extension

more than 24 inches long is attached to the saw.

•AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you)

by:

a) Keeping blade sharp.

b) Keeping rJpfence parallel to the saw blade.

c) Keeping riving knife/spreader/splitter=anti-kickback

pawls, and blade guard in place and operating,

d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the

way past the saw blade using a push stick,

e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does

not have a straight edge to guide alongthe fence.

• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS where a suddenslip could cause your

hand to move into the cutting tool,

•USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed

in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that

are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury.

Instructionsfor safe use of accessories are included

with the accessory.

EXTENSION CORDS

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 ¢arrythe 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.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension

cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by

the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.

Before using an extensioncord, inspect it for loose or

exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

AWARNING: Keep the extensioncord clear of the

working ares. Position the cord so that it will not get

caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while

you are working with apower tool. Failure to do so

can result in seriouspersonal injury.

_WARNING: Check extension cords before each

use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool

with a damaged cord since touching the damaged

area could cause electricalshook resulting in serious

injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool is powered by aprecision bu(It electricmotor.

It should be connected to apower supply that is 120

volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do

notoperate thistool on direct current (DC). Asubstantial

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.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,000 rpm.

Thisspeed is not constant and decreases under aload or

with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as

importantas the motor's horsepower rating. A line intend-

ed only for lightscannot properly carry apower tool motor.

Wirethat is heavy enough for a short distance will be too

light for a greater distance. Alinethat can support one

power tool may not be able to support two orthree tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a 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 conduc-

tor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a

matching outlet that is properly installed and groundedin

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do notmodify the plug provided, If it will not fitthe outlet.

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-

ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor

with insulation having an outer surface that is green with

or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding con-

ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug

is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding

conductor to alive terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if

the grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:

• Straight line cutting operations such as cross cutting,

ripping, mitering, beveling, and compound cutting

• 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 inthis manual.

CAUSES OF KICKBACK

Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, kick-

ing the workpiece back toward you with great force and

speed. Ifyour 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.

Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the

blade in the wood such as;

• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth

• SaWing into knots or nails in the workplace

•Twistingthe wood while making a cut

• Failing to support work

• Forcing a cut

•Cutting warped orwet lumber

• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut

• Not following correct operating procedures

• Misusing the saw

• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls

• Cutting wlth a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set

blade

AVOIDING KICKBACK

• 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.

• 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.

PUSHSTICKS

PUSHBLOCKS Fig. 18

• Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades.

Never make cuts with dull blades.

• 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 orwarped lumber.

• Always hold your werkpieee firmly with both hands or

with push st[cks. Keep your body [na balanced posi-

tion to be ready to resist kickback should it occur.

Never stand directly in line with the blade,

• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made,

CUTI"ING AIDS

See Figure 18,

Push sticks •are devices used for safely pushing a

workplace through the blade. They can be made in vari-

ous 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.

CAUTION; Be surethe screws in a push block are

recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workplace.

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.

_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 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.

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.

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 rightside

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 un-

derstand all sections of this operator's manual before at-

tempting any operation.

_, WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the

speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could

result in personal injury.

• The kerr (the cut made by the blade inthe 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

Afsatherboard 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 anumber of short kerfs to give a

friction hold on the workpiece and locked inplace on the

table with a C-clamp. Test that it can resist kickback.

_, WARNING: Place the featherboard against the

uncut portion of the workpiece to avoid kickback that

could Cause serioUSpersonal iniury.

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 a3/8 in. hole atthe 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.

Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 27.

Set the rip fence tO allow approximately a1/4 in. "fin-

ger" to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to the

mark previously made at 6in. Turn the saw OFF and al-

low the blade to completely stop rotating before remov-

ing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced rips

into the workpiece to allow approxfmately 1/4 in. fingers

and 1/8 in. Spaces between the fingers.

HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD

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 aC-clamp to securethe featherboard to the

edge of the saw table.

_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.
