all instruc-

tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below,
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
[]

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the saw's applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
[] GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED
SURFACES. For example, pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
[]
[]

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
[] KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or
pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation.
[] DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit.
[] KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe
distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact
tool or extension cord while operating.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
[] DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
[] USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or attachment
to do a job it was not designed for. Don't use it for a
purpose not intended.
[] USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a
cord 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. A
wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended
for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
[]

[]

DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught
and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and
nonskid footwear are recommended when working
outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EXTENSION

ELECTRICAL

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 carry 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.

CONNECTION

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor.
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.
SPEED

AND WIRING

25'

50'

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4,800 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor.
Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too
light for a greater distance. A line that can support one
power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

WARNING:
The saw's motor cord must only be
plugged into the receptacle provided on the saw which
is controlled by the saw's master switch. Never plug
the motor cord directly into an extension cord as this
will stop the saw's motor from turning OFF.

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
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 modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor 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 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
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin
like the one shown.

SPREADER/RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece
of the blade guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw
blade, which helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback. When in the through sawing, or "up" position, it is
higher than the saw blade and becomes a spreader. When
in the non-through sawing, or "down" position, it is below
the saw blade teeth and becomes a riving knife.

Do not use blades rated less than the

speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could
result in personal injury.
BLADE GUARD - Always keep the removable blade guard
down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access
power switch located below the front rail. To lock the
switch in the OFF position, remove the switch key from
the switch. Place the key in a location that is inaccessible
to children and others not qualified to use the tool.

BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever, placed just under
the saw table surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the
angle setting of the blade.

areprovidedinthe Operation section of this manual for

the basic cuts: cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and
compound cuts.
The sliding miter table assembly is used for cross cutting
operations. The miter fence is easily adjusted to cut wood
at an angle by loosening the adjusting clamp, setting the
fence to the miter scale, and retightening the clamp. The
sliding miter table, which rests on a base mounted on the
rails, can be repositioned along the rails for wide work. It
can be reversed so the projecting base is in the back and
can be moved from the left side to the right side as needed. With the miter fence removed, the miter table offers
additional support for other operations such as ripping.

WARNING:
Always remove the switch key when
the tool is not in use and keep it in a safe place.
In the event of a power failure, turn the switch off
( O ) and remove the key. This action will prevent the
tool from accidentally starting when power returns.
WARNING:
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is
not in contact with the blade before operating the
switch to start the tool. Failure to heed this warning
may cause the workpiece to be kicked back toward
the operator and result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, Always make sure the switch is in the off ( O )
position before plugging tool into the power source.

rip fence and the blade.
It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for all
through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly
includes: riving knife/spreader/splitter, anti-kickback
pawls, and plastic blade guard.
The saw features a receptacle on the right side of the
cabinet that permits use of accessories. Use only accessories that are listed for use with this tool. When using a
listed accessory, unplug the saw motor cord and use the
receptacle and the saw's power switch to operate the
accessory.

TO STORE

THE TABLE SAW ACCESSORIES

See Figures 10- 11.
The table saw has two convenient storage areas specifically designed for the saw's accessories. These accessories must be securely stored prior to closing the leg stand
and moving the saw.

BRACE

The rip fence, miter fence, miter gauge, and push stick
should be stored in the brackets located on the side of the
Fig. 8
TO SECURE/LEVEL

saw cabinet. Simply snap each accessory in place to hold
it securely.

THE SAW

Storage hooks for the sliding miter table are located on
the back of the saw cabinet. This storage area is to be
used only for moving the saw or when the saw is not
being used.

See Figure 9.
With the leg stand open and the table saw resting on a
flat, level surface, the saw should not move or rock from
side to side.

NOTE: During operation of the saw, the sliding miter table
must be mounted on the rails. NEVER operate the saw
with the sliding miter table in the storage position because
it blocks the dust exhaust port.

If the saw rests on the wheels and rolls, loosen each
wheel stop by turning counterclockwise. The leg stand
should rest on each stop only slightly. If the wheel stop is
turned too much, the stop will interfere with the opening
and closing motion of the leg stand.
If the saw rocks from side to side, the leveling feet need
adjusting until the leg stand is balanced.
[]

Loosen both the top and bottom wing nuts.

Two basic checks should be made before using the miter
table: (1) the miter base must be parallel to the blade as
the table slides from the front to back, and (2) the miter
fence must be square to the blade when set at exactly
zero (0°) on the miter table scale.

TABLE

The miter table slides allowing the operator to slide the
workpiece across the saw. A miter slide lock is mounted
on the front of the miter table to lock it in place. The miter
slide lock is placed in a slot on the base to align the miter
table with the front edge of the saw table. The sliding
miter table should be locked for any cut in which the
operator prefers a fixed table.

NOTE: The miter table has adjustment screws for squaring miter fence to blade and maintaining 0 ° scale settings
when miter base adjustments are required. These checks
and adjustments are explained in step-by-step procedures in the Operation section and depend on each other.

[] To lock the miter table with the base projecting to the
front, place miter slide lock in the back slot on the
base.

Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the
blade in the wood such as:

WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to
make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

[] Making a cut with incorrect blade depth
[] Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece

[] Twisting the wood while making a cut

WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side
shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to
do so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

[] Failing to support work
[] Forcing a cut
[] Cutting warped or wet lumber
[] Using the wrong blade for the type of cut

WARNING;
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of
this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not
recommended can result in serious personal injury.

[] Not following correct operating procedures
[] Misusing the saw
[] Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls
[] Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set
blade

WARNING;
Although many of the illustrations in
this manual are shown with the blade guard removed
for clarity, do not operate the saw without the blade
guard unless specifically instructed to do so.

AVOIDING

[] 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.

APPLICATIONS

[] Inspect the wood for knots or nails before beginning a
cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never
saw into a loose knot or nail.

You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
[] Straight line cutting operations such as cross cutting,
ripping, mitering, beveling, and compound cutting
[]

[] Always use the rip fence when rip cutting. Use the
miter gauge (or miter fence) when cross cutting. This
helps prevent twisting the wood in the cut.

Dado or molding cuts with optional accessories

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.
CAUSES

KICKBACK

[] Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
[] Use extra caution when cutting some prefinished or
composition wood products as the anti-kickback
pawls may not always be effective.
[] Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with
push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a
balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should
it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.

OF KICKBACK

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 workpiece and may contact the
blade. Kickback can cause serious injury. Use precautions
to avoid the risks.

[] Use of a featherboard will help hold the workpiece
securely against the saw table or fence.
[] Clean the saw, blade guard, under the throat plate, and
any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces may
gather.
[] Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
[] Always use the spreader/riving knife for every
operation where it is allowed. The use of this device
will greatly reduce the risk of kickback.

CUTTINGAIDS
See Figure 29.
Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a
workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When making non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock, always use
a push stick, push block, and/or featherboard so your
hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade.
They can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap
wood and used in a specific project. The stick must be
narrower than the workpiece, with a 90 ° notch in one end
and shaped for a grip on the other end.

Fig. 30

A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws
from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and
all non-through cuts.

HOW TO MAKE A JIG (FOR RIP CUTTING
NARROW WORKPIECE)
See Figure 31.

CAUTION: Be sure the screws in a push block are
recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.

If ripping a narrow workpiece places the hands too close
to the blade, it will be necessary to make and use a jig.
To make a jig:
[] Attach a handle to a long, straight piece of wood and
secure from the underside using recessed screws.
[] Cut an L-shaped stop in the side of the jig.
To use a jig:
[] Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the jig and against the stop.

[] Holding the jig handle and using a push block, make
the rip cut as described in Making a Rip Cut later in
this section.

[]

Drill two holes in the auxiliary fence then counterbore
the holes.

[]

Place hex head bolts in the holes and loosely secure
the bolts to the fence using washers and hex nuts
positioning mounting hardware away from the blade.

[] Slide the bolts into the slot on the rip fence then push
the auxiliary fence toward the front of the rip fence.

[] With the auxiliary fence resting firmly on the saw table,
tighten the hex nuts to secure the auxiliary fence to the
rip fence.

FEATHERBOARD

PUSH
BLOCK

A featherboard is a device used to help control the
workpiece by holding it securely against the table or
fence. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping
small workpieces 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 to ensure it can resist kickback.
HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD
See Figure 32.

PUSH
STICK

The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw.
Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick,
2-1/2 in. wide and 12 in. long. Mark the center of the
width on one end of the stock. Miter the width to 70 ° (see
Making a Rip Cutfor information on miter cuts).

HOW TO MOUNT

A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure 33,
Remove the adjusting clamp knob, bolt, and washer from
the miter fence holder. Place the bolt through one of the
holes in the featherboard. Positioning the featherboard will
depend on the placement of the bolt and the position of
the sliding miter table on the rails. Place the washer on the
bolt and attach the adjusting clamp knob loosely. Position
the featherboard with the hex head of the bolt in the miter

blade. Position the rip fence to the desired adjustment for
the cut to be performed and lock. Place the workpiece
against the fence and over the saw blade area. Adjust
the featherboard to apply resistance to the workpiece

TYPESOF CUTS
See Figure 34,

There are six basic cuts: 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 later in this section.

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.

CROSSCUT

Cross cuts are straight 90 ° cuts made across the grain of
the workpiece. 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 controlled by holding the workpiece securely
against the miter fence.
Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross
cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are with
the grain.
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

Dado 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 attempting 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 kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood)
will be wider than the blade to avoid overheating or
binding. Make allowance for the kerf when measuring
wood.

[]

Make sure the kerr is made on the waste side of the

measuring line.
[] Cut the wood with the finish side up.
[]

Knock out any loose knots with a hammer before
making the cut.

[] Always provide proper support for the wood as it
comes out of the saw.

TO CHANGETHE BLADE DEPTH

CHECKING SLIDING MITER TABLE AND
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 35.
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of
the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately
1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below
the top surface.

TO CHECK MITER
See Figures 37 - 38.

BASE PARALLELISM

[] Unplug the saw.
[] Set saw up as if you were preparing to make a cut.
Tighten rail clamps, miter locking clamps, adjusting
clamp, etc.

[] Push the bevel locking lever to the left for elevation
mode.
[] Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
hand-wheel clockwise or lower it by turning the handle
counterclockwise.

[] Slide miter table (A) to the front of miter base (B) as far
as it will go. Place a reference mark (C) near the end of
the miter table as shown in figure 37.

GULLET

NOTE: Front of miter base is on infeed side of saw.
[] Place a reference mark on one of the blade teeth (D)
and rotate the blade (E) so that the reference mark on
the blade is at the front of the throat plate.
[] Place a framing square (G) against the blade and
align with reference mark on miter table. Measure the
distance between the blade and the edge of miter
table.
NOTE: Place framing square between carbide teeth
and measure from blade. This step will insure framing
square is square against blade from the front to back
of blade.

cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting
grooves.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly

is installed and working properly to avoid possible
serious injury.

This is the only type cut that is made without the blade
guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

A
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts
without the miter gauge, miter fence, or rip fence).
Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury.
[]

Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to
the sides as needed.

[]

Depending on the side of the saw blade the panel is
cut on, move the rails left or right as needed.

Read the appropriate section which describes the type of
cut in addition to this section on non-through cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read
and understand the section on straight cross cuts before
proceeding.
WARNING:

[]

Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence
or miter gauge (or miter fence), if the panel is too large
to use either the rip fence or the miter gauge (or miter
fence), it is too large for this saw.
[] Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before

Select the correct size throat plate for the size of the
router bit. Align the tab on the throat plate with the
slot in the router extension and snap in place. Make
sure the throat plate is firmly seated below the table
surface. Recheck the router bit to make sure it will not
strike the throat plate.

See Figure 62,
[]

Unplug the router.

[]

Place your router upside down on a workbench.

[]

Remove the subbase screws and the subbase from
your router.

FINAL PREPARATION
See Figure 63,

NOTE: The subbase is mounted permanently on some
routers and should not be removed.

[] Adjust the guard/dust cover so that it will not come in
contact with the workpiece or cutter during a cutting
operation.

[] Select the screws needed for your particular router. For
consumer routers, use the 10-32 x 3/4 in. screws. For
commercial routers, use the 5/16-18 screws.
[]

FOR OPERATION

[]

Direction of feed of the workpiece is from right to left
or from the back of the saw toward the front with the
bit located in the fence opening.

Position router upside down under the router extension
table. The router label should be facing the front of the
table.

[] Align the holes in the table with the holes in your router.
Feed the screws through the table and into the router.
[] Tighten all screws with a screwdriver.

\
THROAT
PLATE

Fig. 63
[]

Direction of feed must always be so that the workpiece
is being thrust against the sharp edges of the rotating
bit.

[]

The workpiece must always be tight against the guide
fence, unless a ball-bearing piloted bit is being used.
The infeed fence should be adjusted to support the
uncut workpiece while the outfeed fence should be
adjusted properly to support the workpiece after
the cut passes the router bit, compensating for the
removed stock.
