OF SAW

If there is any tendency
for the saw to tip over or move
durmg
certain
cutting
ooerations
such
as cutting
extremely
large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the
saw should be bolted down.
If you attach
any kind of table extensions
over 24"
wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either bolt
the saw to the bench or floor as a I_propriate,
or support

KICKBACKS

Kickbacks
can cause serious
injury:
A "Kickback'"
occurs when a 0art of the workpiece
binds between

rises
from the table, and is thrown toward the operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade,
out of line with a possible "Kickback.'"

Kickbacks
and possible
injury
from
them -- can
usually be avoided oV:
A. Maintaining
the rip fence parallel to the sawblade.
B. Keeping
the sawblade
sharp, Replace or sharpen
antikickback
pawls when points become dull.
C. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawls in place and operating
properly. The spreader
must be in alignment
with
the sawblade and the
pawls musl stop a kickback
once it has started.
Check their action before ripping,
D. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warpea or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.

This saw is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. The ground Conductor has a green lug and is
attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this saw is of the
two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE
GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an adapter
as shown and always connect the grounding lug to a known
ground.
It is recommended that you have _ qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a ;)roperly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs
to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending
from the ads pter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

RECEPTACLE

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already
have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum
and to prevent
over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong

with Model No. 113.298151 ) attach them at this time.
If you have only one Table Extension,
to either side.

it may be attached

NOTE: When the Table Extension is attached to the left
side, it offers more support to the workpiece, especially
when crosscutting or mitering long boards. When attached
to the right side, it offers more support when curing wide
panels.
If you attach the Extension to the left side, be sure to
construct the Auxiliary
Fence/Work Support and Push

ALIGNING

RIP FENCE

The fence should slide easily along the bars and always
remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade and miter gauge
grooves).
The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath the
fence which bears against the front guide bar,
To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the
fence with one hand at the front.

For very close adjustments, grasp the guide bar with both
hands and move the fence with your thumbs.

F
Place fence on saw but DO NOT LOCK IT.
Move the REAR END of the fence slightly to the right or
left ... when you release it, the fence should "spring"
back to its original position.
If it does not, the spring pressure must be INCREASED.
1. Loosen the screws.
2.

Move Spring slightly toward front of fence.

If the fence does not slide easily along the bars, the pressure
of the spring can be REDUCED.
1. Loosen the screws.
2. Move spring slightly toward rear of fence ... tighten
screws.

HEX
3,

The rip fence must be PARALLEL with the sawblade
(see page 29) and miter Gauge grooves... Move fence
until it is along side of groove. Do NOT LOCK IT. It
should be parallel to groove. If it is not;
A.

Loosen the two "Hex. Head Screws."

Hold fence head tightly against bar ... move end
of fence so that it is parallel with groove,

CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING
is known as cutting wood
across
the grain, at 90 °, or square with both the edge and the flat
side of the wood, This is done with miter gaugeset at "'O".
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking. In some cases where extreme
accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example,
make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square, or protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inacurracy,
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.
For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always
"favor" one side of the groove in the table, In other words,
don't move the miter gauge from side to side while cutting,
but keep one side of the bar riding against one side of the
groove.
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter
gauge head, This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) should be
used on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the workpiece

properly. Place a small block of wood between the
bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.

CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure that
the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be
sure it is clamped securely.

CUTTING

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than 90 ° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same
procedure as you would for crosscutting.
Adjust the miter gaugeto the desired angle, and lock it.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT Hand groove, I_old
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the knob with your left hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle ... other than
90 ° with the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the
blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT because
the blade guard wilt interfere. Hold the workpiece with
your right hand and the Iockhandle with _/our left hand.
Use the AUXILIARY
