GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE TABLE SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your table saw.

To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the table saw in until you have read and understood the following:

.

READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations, and possible hazards.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

12.

WEARYOUR ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION. Any table saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear

Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety

Goggles are available at Sears. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

13.

WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK.

Sawing operation produces dust.

14.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

15.

DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

.

DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

, KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.

7.

MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

8.

DON'T FORCE THE TOOL, It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or the attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

10.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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. The table on page 5 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves , neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.

Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

SAVE THESE

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.

Make sure the switch is in OFF position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner's manual for the recommended accessories.

The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19. CHECK FOR 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 should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.

TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

21. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

22. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

23. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

INSTRUCTIONS

SPECiFiC SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

FOR THE TABLE SAW

14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting tool.

15.

NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.

Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.

5,

.

ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD spreader and anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which they can be used, including through-sawing.

Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or cross-cutting.

3.

,

ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

,

USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick pattern included in this Owner's Manual.

NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION

"FREE HAND", which means using your hands only to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the line of the saw blade.

6.

NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason.

16.

MOUNT your table saw before performing any cutting operations. Refer to installation instructions.

17.

NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.

18.

ALWAYS USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust chute for additional sawdust removal.

19.

NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL running unattended.

Don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20.

For proper operation follow the instructions of this owner's manual titled "SAW MOUNTED TO WORK

SURFACES." Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area, which may result in a fire hazard or cause motor damage.

21.

ALWAYS USE THE TABLE EXTENSION for extra support when cutting a long workpiece.Never

use another person or any unstable surface to hold long workpiece.

22.

ALWAYS LOCK THE TABLE EXTENSION securely in place before cutting workpiece.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug

MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (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 person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

USE A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT for your tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse.

Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A. FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded receptacle can be installed by a qualified technician. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

CORDS

USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool to overheat. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.

To prevent serious injury: o Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of the table saw to cause careless mistakes.

• A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a serious injury.

• Keep both hands away from the blade and the blade path.

The workpiece must have a straight edge against a fence.

• Do not try to saw warped, twisted, or bowed workpieces.

o Do not try to saw a workpiece too long for the table.

.

Do not use another person or surface to support a workpiece that is too long for the table.

USING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS (FIG. W)

The table extension length allows a maximum 24-1/2" rip capacity to the right of the blade, with the rip fence (1) placed at the end of the extension.

After placing the rip fence at the distance desired, measure from the nearest table top edge (3) to make sure the rip fence is exactly parallel.

Before sawing, make sure all extension lock knobs (2) are tightened.

Fig. W

RIPPING (FIG. X,Y)

To prevent serious injury:

° Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes.

Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

o Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the blade.

, The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed.

1.

Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the table.

2.

Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" higher than the top of the workpiece.

3.

Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the werkpiece about 1" away from the blade.

4.

Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up to speed.

5.

Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will pass between the blade and the fence. (FIG. X)

0

AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward only on that section of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence.

CUTTING OPERATIONS

There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting.

Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.

t

Before you use the saw each and every time, check the following:

1.

Blade is tight on the arbor.

2.

Bevel angle lock knob is tight.

3.

If ripping, fence knob is tight and fence is parallel to the miter gauge grooves.

4.

Blade guard is in place and working properly.

5.

You are wearing safety glasses.

The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

6.

(Fig.Y) Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), finish the cut with a push stick (3). Make a push stick using the pattern on page 33.

7.

The push stick should always be used when the ripped workpiece is 2" or narrower (1). (FIG. X)

8.

Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.

Fig. BB

Fig. DD .

Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely stops raise the kickback pawls on each side of the splitter and slide the workpiece out.

Fig. Y

3.

Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to one inch distance from the blade.

4.

Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full speed.

5.

Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge (3) and flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade (FIG.Y).

6.

Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.

Fig. Z

BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0".

Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the blade.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

Avoid injury from blade contact. Never make through-saw cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.

2.

.

It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.

When a small width is to be ripped and your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move the workpiece.

CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Z)

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA)

This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0 °.

1.

Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

2.

Always work to the left side of the blade when crosscutting. The miter gauge (3) must be in the left side groove (2).

Fig. AA

To prevent serious injury:

• Do not allow familiarity gained from the frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes.

Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

o Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the blade.

1.

Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the left side groove.

2.

Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" higher than the top of the workpiece.

18

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB)

This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a bevel angle.

1.

Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle. Use only the left side groove (2).

2.

Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired angle.

3.

Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the cutting operation.

MITERING (FIG. CC)

This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90 °.

1.

Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle and place in the left side groove (2).

1.

Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge.

2.

Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to prevent the workpiece from moving.

DADO CUTS (FIG. EE)

1.

The dado table insert is included with this saw.

Remove the saw blade, the blade guard, and the table insert. Install the dado and dado table insert.

2.

Instructions for operating the dado are packed with the separately purchased dado set.

3.

The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width of the cut to 13/16".

4.

It is not necessary to install the outside blade flange (2) before screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that the arbor nut is tight, and that at least one thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut.

5.

Use only the 6" dado set and keep the width 13/16" or less. It is necessary to remove the blade guard and splitter when using a dado. Use caution when the dado is operating.

6.

Use only the correct number of round outside blades and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's instruction manual. The blade or chipper must not exceed 13/16".

7.

Make sure the dado will not strike the housing, insert, or motor when in operation.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. DD)

When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).

1.

Use a smooth straight 3/4" thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.

2.

Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table.

For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished with the dado operation.
