_l_ WARNING: Read and understand 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

long hair.

[] ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WiTH SIDE

SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-

resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

[] SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work

when practical. It's safer than using your hand and

frees both hands to operate tool.

[] DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

[] MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp

and clean for better and safer performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

[] DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before

servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits,

cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.

[] AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off

when plugging in any tool.

[] USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the

operator's manual for recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may risk injury.

[] NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could

occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is

unintentionally contacted.

[] CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of

the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions

that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by

an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal

injury.

[] USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work

into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of

blade or cutter only.

[] NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.

TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it

comes to a complete stop.

[] PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if

the cutting operation is dusty.

[] PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection

during extended periods of operation.

[] DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to

disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, and sharp edges.

[] WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL OUTSIDE, USE

AN OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORD MARKED "W-A"

OR "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and

reduce the risk of electric shock.

[] KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, AND WITH

SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling

and kickback.

[] KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep

hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath

work or around or over the blade while blade is

rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when

blade is moving.

[] BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.

[] NEVER USE iN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.

Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

[] INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged,

have repaired by a qualified service technician at

an authorized service facility. 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. Repair or

replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay

constantly aware of cord location and keep it well

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 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.

[] USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES:

3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding

plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's

plug.

[] DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the

outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

[] KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM

OiL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, or any solvents to clean tool.

[] STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch

what you are doing and use common sense. Do not

operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

[] DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT

ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an

authorized service center.

[] USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades

with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers

or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The

maximum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254

mm).

[] BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST-

MENTS ARE SECURE.

[] BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect

for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

[] NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during

use.

[] NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING

COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE

WORKPIECE.

[] DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE

INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY

MEDICATION.

[] WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement

parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or

cause product damage.

[] USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed

in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that

are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury.

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 workpiece

before connecting to power supply.

[] FIRMLY BOLT THE SAW TO A WORK BENCH OR

LEG STAND at approximately hip height.

[] NEVER OPERATE THE SAW ON THE FLOOR.

[] GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs

when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven

back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into

the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out

of blade path and turn switch off immediately 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 large panels.

[] REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES

before transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in

an accident causing possible serious personal injury.

[] ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, SPREADER, AND

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS on all "through-sawing"

operations. Through-sawing operations are those

in which the blade cuts completely through the

workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. Keep the

blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls down, and

the spreader in place.

[] ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against the rip fence

or miter gauge. NEVER use the rip fence during the

same operation as the miter gauge.

[] WHEN MAKING NON-THROUGH RiP CUTS, always

use a push stick, push block, and/or featherboard so

your hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw

blade.

[] WHEN RiPPiNG NARROW STOCK, always use a

push stick, push block, or featherboard.

[] NEVERperformanyoperation"freehand"which

meansusingonlyyourhandsto supportorguidethe

workpiece.Alwaysuseeithertheripfenceor miter

gaugeto positionandguidethework.

[] NEVERstandorhaveanypartofyourbodyin 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.

[] DO NOT USE THE MITER GAUGE AND RIP FENCE

during the same operation.

[] 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 long work pieces.

[] AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by:

a) Keeping blade sharp.

b) Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.

c) Keeping spreader, 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 along the fence.

[] IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD iS DAMAGED, it

must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an

authorized service center to avoid risk.

[] AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS where a sudden slip 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.

Instructions for safe use of accessories are included

with the accessory.

[] MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE

LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstructions

will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing

any work using the table saw.

[] ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to

avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power

supply.

[] ONLY USE BLADES within the thickness range

stamped on the spreader/riving knife.

[] THIS TOOL should have the following markings:

a) Wear eye protection.

ELECTRICAL 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

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 intend-

ed 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.

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 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 conduc-

tor 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.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding of

the information on the tool and in this operator's manual

as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting.

Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all op-

erating features and safety rules.

ACCESSORY TABLE - The accessory table may be used

on either the right or left side of the saw as needed and

has been designed for use with some touters. A router

mounted on the accessory table will provide expanded

capabilities for making rabbets, grooves, chamfers, dove-

tails, and mortise and tenon joints.

ADJUSTING CLAMP - This clamp locks the miter fence at

the desired cutting angle.

ALIGN-A-CUT INSERT - A plastic insert on which marks

may be made to indicate the location of the saw cut on

the workpiece.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which

the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The

teeth on the removable anti-kickback pawls point away

from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled

back toward the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to

help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.

BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of

the cabinet shows the exact blade angle.

BLADE - This saw is provided with a 36-tooth, 10 in.

carbide blade. The blade is raised and lowered with the

height adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are locked with

the bevel locking lever.

WARNING-" 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.

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.

HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL- Located

on the front of the cabinet, use this handwheel to lower

and raise the blade for height adjustments or blade

replacement. This handwheel also makes the adjustment

for bevel angles easy.

LEG STAND - Attached to the table saw base, the leg

stand opens and closes with ease.

MITER FENCE WITH ADJUSTING CLAMP KNOB - The

fence attaches to the sliding miter table and can be an-

gled for miter and compound miter cuts as well as straight

cuts such as cross cuts and bevel cross cuts. With the

Iocator pin in place, this knob locks the miter fence to the

sliding miter table at the desired cutting angle.

MITER GAUGE - The miter gauge aligns the wood for

a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact

angle for a miter cut, with positive stops at 90° and 45°.

MITER GAUGE GROOVES - The miter gauge rides in the

grooves on the accessory table.

RAILS - Front and rear rails provide support for large

workpieces and the rip fence.

RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece

and is secured with the locking handle. Grooves run along

the top and sides of the rip fence for use with optional

clamps and accessories.

SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale

provides precise measurements for rip cuts.

SLIDING MITER TABLE - The miter table slides easily

along the miter table base allowing the operator to move

the workpiece across the saw table.

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 kick-

back. 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.

thesawtablehasrailsoneachside.Detailedinstructions

areprovidedintheOperation 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 need-

ed. With the miter fence removed, the miter table offers

additional support for other operations such as ripping.

The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts.

A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the

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 acces-

sories 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.

SLIDE LOCK

TO CHECK SLIDING MITER TABLE ASSEMBLY

The square relationship between the blade and the miter

fence as it travels the entire distance from the front to the

rear of the miter table base during a cut is very important

for making precise and accurate cuts. The sliding miter

table assembly has been preset at the factory. However,

misalignment during shipping or requirements for very

precise and accurate cuts may require realignment.

To avoid unnecessary setups and adjustments, we

suggest that you check these setups carefully with a fram-

ing square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before

making finish cuts in good workpieces.

NOTE: Follow the general rule of measuring twice and

cutting once.

Do not loosen any screws. Once screws have been loos-

ened, settings must be reset.

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.

NOTE: The miter table has adjustment screws for squar-

ing 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 proce-

dures in the Operation section and depend on each other.

do so could result in objects being thrown into your

eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

AWARNING; Do not use any attachments or acces-

sories not recommended by the manufacturer of

this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not

recommended can result in serious personal injury.

AWARNING; 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.

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

[] 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.

CAUSES OF KICKBACK

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

ing 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.

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 workpiece

[] Twisting the wood while making a cut

[] Failing to support work

[] Forcing a cut

[] Cutting warped or wet 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 with 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 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.

[] 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.

[] 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 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.

[] 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.

Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a

workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When mak-

ing 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.

A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws

from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and

all non-through cuts.

CAUTION: Be sure the screws in a push block are

recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.

AUXILIARY FENCE

An auxiliary fence is a device used to close the gap

between the rip fence and the saw table. Always make

and use an auxiliary fence when ripping material 1/8 in.

or thinner.

HOW TO MAKE AND ATTACH AN AUXILIARY

FENCE (FOR RIP CUTTING THIN WORKPIECE)

See Figure 30.

The auxiliary fence [a piece of wood 3/4 in. thick, 3-1/2 in.

wide, and 23-1/2 in. long] is secured to the rip fence using

the slots in the side of the rip fence.

[] 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.

Fig. 30

HOW TO MAKE A JIG (FOR RIP CUTTING

NARROW WORKPIECE)

See Figure 31.

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 ajig:

[] 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.

FEATHERBOARD

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.

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).

Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed in Making a Rip

Cut. Set the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in.

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

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

low the blade to completely stop rotating before removing

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

workpiece to allow approximately 1/4 in. fingers and 1/8

in. spaces between the fingers.

AWARNING: Mount the featherboard in front of the

saw blade. If positioned improperly, kickback can

result from the featherboard pinching the workpiece

and binding the blade in the saw kerf. Failure to heed

this warning can result in serious personal injury.

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

table slot but do not tighten. Completely lower the saw

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

just forward of the blade. Securely tighten the adjusting

clamp knob to secure the featherboard in place. Attach C-

clamps to further secure the featherboard to the edge of

the saw table.

TYPESOFCUTS

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.

AWARNING: Always make sure the blade guard and

anti-kickback pawls are in place and working prop-

erly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury.

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 un-

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

tempting any operation.

AWARNING: 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.

adjusted before checking miter fence alignment. See

To Adjust The Miter Base section that follows.

TO CHECK M(TER FENCE AUGNMENT

See Figure 39.

The miter fence must be perpendicular to the blade when

set at zero degrees.

[] Set the miter fence (H) at 0°. Miter indicator (I) should

be set precisely on 0° and secured in place with

adjusting clamp (J).

NOTE: The quick-stop is not necessary for this

checking procedure. However, you may want to check

and adjust it to 0° at this time. See the To Adjust

Quick-Stop section that follows.

[] Place a framing square (G) firmly against the miter

fence (H), with the other side against the blade (E).

[] Check whether the miter fence and blade are square

with each other. With the framing square against the

miter fence there should be no gap from the front to

the rear of the blade.

[]

If a gap exists, the miter fence may be out of square.

Rotate the blade and recheck. (f there is a consistent

gap between the front and rear of the blade, the

miter table needs aligning. Follow the adjustment

procedures that follow.

Remember: Check all settings before loosening screws

for the following procedures. Once screws have been

loosened, these settings must be reset.

Eight screws are visible on the miter base (B).

[] Four screws (K) are on the holder plates and secure

these plates to the rails. It is not necessary to loosen or

adjust these screws for this adjustment procedure.

[] Another pair of screws (L) is in the base, at the rear.

Loosen these two screws (L) and the rear miter locking

clamps (M).

[] The last pair of screws is located on the infeed side of

the base. Loosen the left screw (N) only.

[] The right screw (O) will be used as a pivot point.

NOTE: The front two miter locking clamps (P) and rail

clamps should remain locked.

[] Adjust the miter base so that it is parallel to the blade

see To Check Miter Base Parallelism.

[] Retighten the left front screw (N).

[] Clamp the rear miter locking clamps (M).

[] Retighten the two rear screws (L).

TO ADJUST THE MITER FENCE

See Figures 41 -42.

[] Set the miter fence (H) at 0°. Miter indicator should be

set precisely on 0° and secured in place with adjusting

clamp (J).

[] There are four slides located under the sliding miter

table. These slides let the miter table move on the

base. Three slides are mounted on eccentric screws

that can be adjusted by loosening the hex nuts on top

of the miter table.

[] Loosen the rear hex nuts (Q) on top of sliding miter

table for this adjustment procedure.

NOTE: The front screws (R) are only needed to remove

excessive play in the slides due to wear from extended

use. They are not needed for this procedure. The right

front hex nut is a non-eccentric pivot and should never

be loosened.

[] Adjust the right rear eccentric screw from the lower

side of the miter table so that maximum play exists

between the slide and miter base.

[] Push left rear of miter table snugly against miter base

as shown by the arrow (S) in figure 42 and secure.

[] Place a framing square firmly against the miter fence,

with the other side against the blade.

TO USE THE MITER GAUGE

See Figure 44.

The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts.

For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.

Change the location of the miter gauge groove from the left

side of the saw blade to the right side of the saw blade by

moving the accessory table.

When making a 90° cross cut, you can use either miter gauge

groove. When making a beveled cross cut (the blade tilted

in relation to the table) the miter gauge should be located in

the groove on the right so that the blade is tilted away from

the miter gauge and your hands.

The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left.

[] Loosen the lock knob.

[] With the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove, rotate

the gauge until the desired angle is reached on the

scale.

[] Retighten the lock knob.

MAKING CUTS

This table saw can perform a variety of cuts that are not all

mentioned in this manual. DO NOT attempt to make any

cuts not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar

with the proper procedures and necessary accessories.

Your local library has many books on table saw usage and

specialized woodworking procedures for your reference.

The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combi-

nation blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations.

Carefully check all setups and rotate the blade one full

revolution to assure proper clearance before connect-

ing saw to power source. Stand slightly to the side of the

blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback

Occur.

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

speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could

result in personal injury.

Use the miter gauge or miter fence when making cross,

miter, bevel, and compound miter cuts. To secure the

angle, lock the miter gauge in place by twisting the lock

knob clockwise. Always tighten the lock knob securely in

place before use.

NOTE: It is recommended that you place the piece to be

saved on the left side of the blade and that you make a

test cut on scrap wood first.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

See Figure 56.

Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 in. blade) can

be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross

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

grooves.

This is the only type cut that is made without the blade

guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard as-

sembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

Read the appropriate section which describes the type of

cut in addition to this section on non-through cuts. For ex-

ample, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read

and understand the section on straight cross cuts before

proceeding.

WARNING: When making a non-through or dado

cuts, the blade is covered by the workpiece during

most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed blade at

the start and finish of every cut to reduce the risk of

personal injury.

,mL WARNING: Never feed wood with your hands when

making any non-through cut such as rabbets. To

MAKING ADADO CUT

See Figure 57.

An optional dado throat plate is required for this procedure.

All blades and dado sets must not be rated less than the

speed of this tool. This saw is designed for 13/16 in. dado

cuts. With the purchase of an optional dado throat plate (part

number 089110122059), it can be used with a 6 in. stack

dado (up to width of 13/16 in.). Do not use an adjustable

dado or molding cutters on this saw.

NOTE: This saw cannot be used to make a bevel dado cut.

AWARNING: Always put all spacers in proper loca-

tion when changing back to saw blade. Failure to do

so can result in possible injury and damage to the

tool.

AWARNING: Always use push blocks, push sticks,

or featherboards when making dado cuts to avoid

the risk of serious injury.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] Remove the blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, throat

plate, and spreader/riving knife.

See Figure 62,

[] Unplug the router.

[] Place your router upside down on a workbench.

[] Remove the subbase screws and the subbase from

your router.

NOTE: The subbase is mounted permanently on some

routers and should not be removed.

[] 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.

[] 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.

[] 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.

FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

See Figure 63,

[] Adjust the guard/dust cover so that it will not come in

contact with the workpiece or cutter during a cutting

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.

THROAT

PLATE

TO INSTALL BIT AND THROAT PLATE

Fig. 62

The router throat plates are included to assure no more

than 1/4 in. clearance between the cutter and the opening

in the throat plate. Use the correct throat plate. Do not use

a router bit smaller than 1/4 in. or larger than 2 in.

[] To install the router bit, follow the instructions in the

operator's manual that came with your router.

_, CAUTION: Make sure the router bit will not strike

the accessory table or any metal surface.

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.

,A WARNING: The direction of feed for the workpiece

is always against the sharp edges of the bit and

against the rotation of the cutter. Failure to heed this

warning is likely to result in serious personal injury.

AWARNING: Do not use the guide fence with ball-

bearing piloted bits. Failure to heed this warning can

result in serious personal injury.

The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for making

very accurate cuts. However, some of the components

might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping.

Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably

become necessary due to wear.

To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good

practice is to check your setups carefully with a framing

square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before mak-

ing finish cuts in good workpieces. Do not start any ad-

justments until you have checked with a square and made

test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.

TO REPLACE THE BLADE

See Figures 64 -66.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] Remove the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

[] Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.

[] Make sure the bevel locking lever is locked.

[] Raise the saw blade to full height.

[] Insert the open-end blade wrench onto the flats on the

arbor shaft.

[] Insert the closed-end blade wrench over the blade

nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the closed-end

wrench (right side) forward while pushing the open-end

wrench (left side) to the back of the saw. Remove the

nut.

[] Unlock the release locking lever and remove the blade.
