?8E;GFJ@K@FE@E>% Never purposely touch a saw blade during operation. Always keep hands/fingers
out of the blade path; place them where they cannot slip into the blade accidentally. Never reach
around, behind, or over the blade. Touching a spinning saw blade will cause serious laceration or
amputation injuries.
9C8;<>L8I;% Use the blade guard for all “through cuts” for which it can be used. (A through cut is
an operation where the blade cuts completely through the top of the workpiece.) Make sure the blade
guard is installed and adjusted correctly; promptly repair or replace it if damaged. Always re-install
blade guard immediately after operations that require its removal. Operating saw with the blade guard
removed greatly increases the risk of severe laceration or amputation injuries from accidental blade
contact.
I@M@E>BE@=<% Use the riving knife for all “non-through cuts” for which it can be used. (A non-through
cut is an operation where the blade does not cut through the top of the workpiece.) Make sure the
riving knife is aligned and positioned correctly; and promptly repair or replace it if damaged. Using the
riving knife incorrectly will increase the risk of kickback or accidental blade contact.
KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the saw blade ejects the workpiece back toward the operator. Know
how to reduce the risk of kickback, and learn how to protect yourself if it does occur.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding the workpiece incorrectly will increase risk of kickback. Never start
the saw with a workpiece touching the blade; allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting. Only
feed the workpiece against the direction of blade rotation. Always use some type of guide (fence, miter
gauge, sliding table or sled, etc.) to feed the workpiece in a straight line. Never back a workpiece out
of a cut or try to move it backwards or sideways after starting a cut. Feed cuts all the way through to
completion. Never perform any operation “freehand” (making a cut without using a fence or guide).
FENCE. Make sure the fence remains properly adjusted and parallel with the blade. Always lock the
fence in place before using. Using or adjusting the fence incorrectly will increase risk of kickback.
PUSH STICKS/BLOCKS. Use push sticks or push blocks whenever possible to keep your hands farther
away from the blade while cutting; in the event of an accident these devices will often take damage
that would have happened to hands/fingers.
:LK$F==G@<:<J% Never use your hands to move cut-offs away from the blade while the saw is running.
If a cut-off becomes trapped between the blade and table insert, turn the saw F== and allow the blade
to completely stop before removing it.
BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting the blade height or tilt during operation increases the risk of crashing
the blade and sending metal fragments flying with deadly force at the operator or bystanders. Only
adjust the blade height and tilt when the blade is completely stopped and the saw is F==.
CHANGING BLADES. Always disconnect power before changing blades. Changing blades while the saw is
connected to power greatly increases the injury risk if saw is accidentally powered up.
DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or otherwise damaged. Damaged
blades can fly apart and strike the operator with shards of metal.
DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. DO NOT attempt dado or rabbeting operations without first reading
those sections in this manual. Dado and rabbeting operations require special attention because they
must be performed with the blade guard removed.

[li`e^k_\b`ZbYXZb%
Below are ways to avoid the most common
causes of kickback:
• Only cut workpieces with at least one
smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut
warped, cupped or twisted wood.
• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the
workpiece is not fed parallel with the
blade, kickback will likely occur. Always use
the rip fence or miter gauge to support the
workpiece.
• Make sure the spreader or riving knife
is aligned with the blade. A misaligned
spreader or riving knife can cause the
workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the
chance of kickback. If you think that your
spreader or riving knife is not aligned with
the blade, check it immediately!
• Take the time to check and adjust the rip
fence parallel with the blade; otherwise,
the chances of kickback are extreme.
• The spreader or riving knife maintains the
kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance
of kickback. Always use the riving knife for
all non-through operations, unless a dado
blade is installed. Always use the spreader
with the blade guard for all through cuts.
• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle
of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly
increased.
• Keep the blade guard installed and in good
working order. Only remove it when per-
forming non-through cuts and immediately
re-install the blade guard when finished.
Remember, always use the riving knife for all
non-through operations, unless a dado blade
is installed.
• Make multiple, shallow passes when per-
forming a non-through cut. Making a deep
non-through cut will greatly increase the
chance of kickback.
Gi\m\ek`e^B`ZbYXZb
Even if you know how to prevent kickback,
it may still happen. Here are some ways to
protect yourself if kickback DOES occur:
• Stand to the side of the blade during every
cut. If kickback does occur, the thrown
workpiece usually travels directly in front
of the blade.
• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the
event of kickback, your eyes and face are
the most vulnerable part of your body.
• Never, for any reason, place your hand
behind the blade. Should kickback occur,
your hand may be pulled into the blade,
which could cause amputation.
• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take
the damage that your hand would have
received.
• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices
to prevent or slow down kickback.

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.
)

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one. Grounding Prong

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an

The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(see =`^li\) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor life.
Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and
the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:

The table and other unpainted parts of your
table saw are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Since the adhesive fence scale will be difficult to remove
once it installed, determine whether you will use the
pointer window on the right or the left side of the fence
before installing the scale.
The pointer window may come pre-installed on the left
side of the fence. However, we recommend loosening the
mounting screws on the window and re-installing it on the
right side of the fence (see =`^li\)0) so workpieces will
not cover the pointer window when preparing to cut.

On the Model W1819, if you move the pointer window to
the right side of the fence, you may have to trim the last
two inches of the scale so it will not protrude past the
end of the fence tube.
One option for using the pointer window on the left side

A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade
does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock,
as shown in =`^li\*..
Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and
rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury
from kickback because the spreader and blade guard
must be removed. When making non-through cuts with a
standard blade, the riving knife MUST be installed. When
making non-through cuts with a dado blade, extreme
care, including using multiple light passes must be used,
because the blade guard cannot be used.

There are two types of dado blades: stacked and wobble.
• JkXZb\[;X[f9cX[\: These dedicated dado cutting
blade sets consist of up to 8 individual blades.
Multiple cutters are "stacked" between two outside
blades. The width of the dado is determined by the
combination of cutters that are “stacked” together.
The dado is cut in a single pass leaving a smooth and
square channel in the face of the workpiece. Stacked
dado blades are the most expensive option, but are
worth considering if your projects require a lot of
visible dado cuts. A stacked dado blade is shown in
=`^li\+*.
• NfYYc\;X[f9cX[\: Also a dedicated dado blade,
a wobble blade usually consists of a single blade
that is tilted on the arbor shaft while it is spinning.
The channel is cut in the face of the workpiece as
the blade passes through its pre-adjusted width of
travel. Wobble blades are an inexpensive option
when visibly pleasing channels are not a concern.

The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that con-
sists of the clear polycarbonate shield, the spreader, and
the anti-kickback pawls on each side of the spreader
(=`^li\ +-). Each of these components have important
safety functions during the operation of the saw.
>lXi[
The clear polycarbonate guard allows the operator to
see the blade cut the workpiece during operation. This
guard is designed to lift as the workpiece is pushed into
the blade and remain in contact with the workpiece
throughout the entire cut.
The guard reduces injury risk by providing a barrier
around the blade that prevents accidental contact and
contains flying wood chips.
To ensure that the guard does its job effectively, it must
always be in the downward position against the table
in the resting position during idle operation, and the
hinge mechanism must be maintained in good working
condition so the guard can freely pivot up and down to
accommodate the height of the workpiece and return to
the table surface.
Jgi\X[\i
The spreader is a metal plate that prevents the newly
cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the backside of
the blade, causing kickback. The spreader also acts as a
barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled
into the blade if a kickback occurs.

The anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in
only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards,
such as during a kickback, the pawls will dig into the
workpiece to slow or stop it.
To work properly, the pawls must return to their bottom-
most position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 47, and
they must not be engaged in the arresting hooks. If the
pawls fail to return to the bottom position, the pivot
spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need
to be fixed/replaced.
;`jXYc`e^GXncj
To disable the pawls, rotate the arresting hooks
downward, then place the pawls on each of the hooks, as
shown in Figure 48.
Use your best judgment before retracting the pawls,
as they are provided for your safety. Certain situations
could warrant retracting the pawls. For example, you
might retract the pawls if you are concerned about them
scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that
they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding
difficulty or loss of control.

The riving knife works in the same manner as the spread-
er on the blade guard assembly. It is a metal plate that
prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the back-
side of the blade and causing kickback.
The key difference between the spreader and the riving
knife is that the riving knife mounts below the blade's
highest point of rotation, as shown in =`^li\+0.
The height difference between the riving knife and the
blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during
non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut
all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).
The riving knife acts as a barrier behind the blade to
reduce the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if
a kickback occurs. The riving knife must be kept within
the range shown in Figure 50. For that reason, we only
recommend using a 10" blade for operations that require
use of the riving knife.

N_\ekfLj\k_\I`m`e^Be`]\
Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts made with
a standard table saw blade (i.e., dadoes or rabbet cuts
in which a dado blade is NOT used, and when using a
tenoning jig). Also, use the riving knife for those special
operations where the blade guard or its components get
in the way of safe operation, such as with very narrow
cuts.
When Not to Use the Riving Knife
The riving knife CANNOT be used with a dado blade
that has a diameter smaller than 10." Otherwise, the
riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the
workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing
the operator into a dangerous situation of trying to turn
the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the
cut.
In addition, although it is possible to use the riving knife
for through cutting operations, the blade guard assembly
offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than
the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend that
you use the blade guard assembly instead of the riving
knife for through cuts.

for cutting natural and man-made wood
products, laminate covered wood products,
and some plastics. Cutting drywall or
cementitious backer board creates
extremely fine dust and may reduce the
life of the bearings. This machine is NOT
designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile,
etc.; cutting these materials with a table
saw may lead to injury.
• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt,
rocks and other foreign objects are often
embedded in wood. While cutting, these
objects can become dislodged and hit the
operator, cause kickback, or break the
blade, which might then fly apart. Always
visually inspect your workpiece for these
items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT
cut the workpiece.
Large/Loose Knots:Loose knots can
become dislodged during the cutting
operation. Large knots can cause kickback
and machine damage. Choose workpieces
that do not have large/loose knots or plan
ahead to avoid cutting through them.
Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood
with a moisture content over 20% causes
unnecessary wear on the blades, increases
the risk of kickback, yields poor results.
• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with
excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are
dangerous to cut because they are unstable
and often unpredictable when being
cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these
characteristics!
• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight
cupping can be safely supported if the
cupped side is facing the table or the
fence.

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight
channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be
cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard
saw blade. Figure 57 shows a cutaway view of a dado cut
being made with a dado blade.
The included dado table insert must be installed and used
when a dado blade is installed—unless a zero clearance
table insert is used instead.
The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when making
a dado cut with a dado blade. If the motor starts to bog
down, slow down your feed rate, reduce the depth of cut
and make multiple shallow passes.

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an
L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece.
Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard
saw blade.
Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece requires a
sacrificial fence attachment as shown in =`^li\-). Make
the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and
3⁄4" thick. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps,
making sure they are all secure and tight. Raise the
blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed.

— If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal
blades because their larger size applies stronger force
to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the
depth and width of the cut. To minimize your risk of
serious personal injury, ensure that the stock is flat
and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than
one deep cut) to achieve the desired cutting depth.

Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock
into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can
be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that
you use a bandsaw instead.
A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and
resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table saw
is not intended for resawing, and resawing with one
is difficult and dangerous due to the increased risk of
kickback from binding and deep cuts, and the increased
risk of injury from having to remove the guard.
If you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT do
so without using a resaw barrier and wearing a full face
shield. The following instructions describe how to build a
resaw barrier and add an auxiliary fence to your standard
fence, to reduce the risk injury from resawing on a table
saw.
Efk\1 This table saw can only resaw wood that is less
than 63⁄8" tall.

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards (=`^li\.')
provide an added degree of protection against kickback,
especially when used together with push sticks. They
also maintain pressure on the workpiece to keep it
against the fence or table while cutting, which makes
the operation easier and safer because the cut can be
completed without the operator’s hands getting near the
blade. The angled ends and flexibility of the fingers allow
the workpiece to move in only one direction, which helps
slow/stop the workpiece if a kickback occurs.
DXb`e^X=\Xk_\iYfXi[

To make a featherboard, do these steps:
(% Cut a hardwood board 3⁄4" thick to size. The length
and width of the board can vary according to your
design. Most featherboards are 10"–28" long and 3"–6"
wide. Make sure the wood grain runs parallel with
the length of the featherboard, so the fingers you
create in Jk\g* will bend without breaking.

@DGFIK8EK1 Cuts made across the grain will result
in weak fingers that easily break when flexed. When
made correctly, the fingers should withstand flexing
from moderate pressure. To test the finger flexibility,
push firmly on the ends with your thumb. If the
fingers do not flex, they are likely too thick (the

When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury
by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In
the event of an accident, a push stick can absorb damage
that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.
Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12"
of the blade. To maintain control when cutting large
workpieces, start the cut by feeding with your hands then
use push sticks to finish the cut, so your hands are not on
the end of the workpiece as it passes through the blade.
=\\[`e^1 Place the notched end of the push stick
against the end of the workpiece (see inset =`^li\.-),
and move the workpiece into the blade with steady
downward and forward pressure.
Jlggfik`e^1 A second push stick can be used to keep the
workpiece firmly against the fence while cutting. When
using a push stick in this manner, only apply pressure
before the blade; otherwise, pushing the workpiece
against or behind the blade will increase the risk of
kickback (see =`^li\.-).

When used correctly, a push block reduces the risk of
injury by keeping hands away from the blade while
cutting. In the event of an accident, a push block often
takes the damage that would have otherwise happened
to hands or fingers.
A push block can be used in place of or in addition to
a push stick for feeding workpieces into the blade. Due
to their design, push blocks allow the operator to apply
firm downward pressure on the workpiece that could not
otherwise be achieved with a push stick.
The push block design on this page (see =`^li\81) can
be used in two different ways (see =`^li\80). Typically,
the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the
workpiece reaches the blade.
The notched end of the push block is then used to push
the workpiece the rest of the way through the cut,
keeping the operator's hands at a safe distance from the
blade. A push stick is often used at the same time in the
other hand to support the workpiece during the cut.

One of the best accessories for improving the safety and
ease of using a table saw is simply placing a large table
(outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece
(see =`^li\//). Additionally, another table to the left
of the saw (support table) can also help support large
workpieces so they can be cut safely and accurately.
A crosscut sled (see =`^li\/0) is a fantastic way to
improve the safety and accuracy of crosscutting on the
table saw. Most expert table operator uses a crosscut
sled when they have to crosscut a large volume of work,
because the sled offers substantial protection against
kickback when crosscutting.

Cleaning the Model W1819/W1820 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up,
use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
After cleaning, treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with
a non-staining lubricant.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the
internal parts with more than a vacuum. To do this,
remove the table top and clean the internal parts with
resin/pitch dissolver or mineral spirits and a stiff wire
brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER WILL
CAUSE CAST IRON TO RUST.
Make sure the internal workings are dry before using
the saw again, so that wood dust will not accumulate.
If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning,
re-lubricate those areas.
:c\Xe`e^
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this
maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions
given in this section.
;X`cp:_\Zb1
• Inspect blades for damage or wear.
• Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.
• Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.
• Check for any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
• Wipe the table clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare
metal surfaces.
N\\bcpDX`ek\eXeZ\1
• Wipe down the table surface and grooves with a

An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the compo-

This step is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard to move.
Simply adding more grease to built-up grime will not
result in smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/grease
solvent cleaner.
The following are the main components that need to be
lubricated:
• Trunnion Slides and Orientation Gears
• Worm Gears, Trunnion and Bearing Housing Teeth

The table saw features stop bolts that stop the blade
exactly at 45° and 90° when tilting it with the handwheel.
The tilt scale reads "0" when the blade is 90° to the table.
The stops have been set at the factory and should require
no adjustments, unless you notice that your cuts are not
accurate.

Figure 98. Example of adjusting blade to
miter slot.
Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot
and the rip fence are parallel to the blade. If either of
these are not exactly parallel, your cuts and your fin-
ished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly,
the risk of kickback will be increased. Take the time to
adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes now will
be time well spent.
