SAFETY INSTRUCT|ONS FOR TABLE SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your table saw works. Read this manual to understand this saw.

BEFORE USING THE SAW

4.GROUND

THE SAW- This saw has an approved 3conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug.

The plug fits grounding type outlets designed for 120

volt 15 amp circuits.The green conductor in the cord is the NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause_ serious, permanent injury, do not plug the saw in until the following steps have been satisfactorily completed.

1. Assembly and Alignment. (See pages 12-31 )

2.Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF Switch,

Guard, Spreader, Anti-Kickback devise, Miter Gauge,

Fence, Table Insert and Blade Elevation and Bevel

Controls. (See pages 32-34)

3. Review and understanding of all safety instructions and operating procedures in this manual.

4. Review of the maintenance methods for this saw. (See page 46)

Read the DANGER label found on the front of the saw, as shown below.

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW

1. AVOID DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT.

Use the saw in a dry place protected from rain. Keep work area well lighted.

2.To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

A.Put the saw on a firm level surface where there is

plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.

B.Support the saw so that the table is level and the

saw does not rock.

C.Bolt the saw to the floor it it tends to slip, walk or

slide during nomnal use.

D.When using table extensions over 24 inches wide on any side of the saw, bolt the saw to the floor or prop up the outer end of the extension from the floor to keepthe saw from tipping.

3. Put the saw where neither Operator nor bystanders must stand in line with the saw blade,

I

5.To avoid injury form electrical shock, make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when

plugging in or unplugging the saw.

6.To avoid back injury, get help or use recommended casters when you need to move the saw. Always get

help if you need to lift the saw. Hold the saw close to your body. Bend your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back.

7. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting toolj

Do not store anything above or near the tool wher4 anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.

BEFORE EACH USE:

1. inspect your saw

A.To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug the

saw, turn the switch off and remove the switch key before raising or removing the Guard, changing the cuttingtoo, changingthe setup or adjusting anything.

B. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any other conditions that may affect the way the saw

works. If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the saw.

C.Reptace damaged, missing or failed parts before using the saw again.

D.Use the Sawblade Guard, Spreader and Anti-Kickback Pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes through the top of the workpiece).

Make sure the Pawls work properly. Make sure the Spreader is

in line with sawblade.

E.REMOVE

ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking for and removing keys and

adjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.

3. Neveruse grinding

wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels.

They can fly

apart explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor. c. When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10 inch diameter blade.

This keeps the spreader in closest to the blade.

d. Do not over tighten arbor nut.

Use arbor wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth.

Consult a professional blade sharpenerwhen in doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.

NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts have any excessive play.

2. Keep work area clean

A. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

3. Plan your work - plan ahead to protect your eyes,

hands, face, ears.

WARNING: To avoid injury, don't do layout,

assembly, or setup work on the table while the blade is spinning.

It could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.

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

B. Dress for safety:

1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wristwatches).

They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

2. Wear non-slip footwear.

3. Tie back long hair.

.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5.

Noise levels vary widely.

To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for long periods of time.

.

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog stores.

Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with the safety goggles.

C. Inspect your workpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-

BACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece binds on the blade and is thrown violently back toward the front of the saw.

.

Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a

Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position

and guide the work, so itwon't twist, bind on the blade and kickback.

2. Make sure there's no debris between the work- piece and its supports.

3. When cutting irregularlyshaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade: a. A piece of molding, for example, must lie flat

or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for work that can't be made stable.

4. Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces: a.

Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for anyworkpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

NEVER use another person as a substitute for atable extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

safety instructions for table saw

b. Never confine the piece being cut off, that is, the piece NOT against the fence, mitergauge

or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it. touch it, or use length stops against it. it must be free to move. If confined, itcouldgetwedged against the blade and cause a kickback or throwback.

c. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.

d. Never turn your table saw"ON" before clear°

ing everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table.

4. Plan the way you wil! push the workplece throug h

A NEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and finish the cut from the front of the tabb saw.

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade or other cuthng tool.

C. NEVER reach in back of the cutting toolwith either hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other oJtting tool,

E. DON'T OVERREACH.

Always keep good footing and balance.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade, NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the saw.

G Always push the workpiece all the way past the sawblade.

H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade, out of linewith a possible kickback or throwback.

I NEVER turn the saw"ON"before clearingthetabte of al! tools wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the cut planned.

J, AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPINNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from frequent use of your table saw) cause a careless

mistake. Always remember that a careless frac-

tion of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

1. Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately.

Turn the saw off,

Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and fixing the problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns toward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you're planning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept asafe distance fromwork.

Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece.

5, Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL.

It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate. Feedthe workpiece intothe blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed materiah

A. Turn switch "OFF".

B. Unplug the saw.

C. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for proper alignment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off p_eces:

A Use the Guard assembly.

B. To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside the guard:

1. Turn saw "OFF".

2. Remove switch key

3. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the Guard.

ADDITIONAL _NSTRUCTIONS FOR

RiP TYPE CUTS

1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.

2 Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more inches from the blade.

When thru-sawing, use an

Auxiliary Fence and Push Block whenever the Fence must bebelween 1/2 and 2 inchesof the blade. Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than t/2 inch (See

'_ASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE" section.)

3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

4. When using a Push Stick or Push Btock, the traiting end ot the board must be square.

A Push Stick or

Block against an uneven end coutd stip off or push the

work away from the Fence.

5, A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.

(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP

FENCE.") Always use Featherboards for any non thru rip type cuts.

24

S/16" APART

_i

BEFORE STARTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make

sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

4

2_ Before thru-sawing, check the AntioKickback Pawls.

(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP

FENCE.") The Pawls must stop a kickback once it has started Replace or stlarpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points become duti.

3. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the Anti-Kickback

Pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always push forward on the section of the workpiece between the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTOONS

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

FOR

BEFORE STARTING

1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached [o the Miter Gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks

Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing iong enough and big enough to support your work. Make sure, however, it witl not interfere with the Sawbfade

Guard..

3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too sina!! to extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge face during the cut. This lets you properly hold the Miter

Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away from the blade.

(See page 32,)

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge as shown in "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - USING

THE MITER GAUGE,"

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

1_ Turn the saw off.

2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

3. Make workshop child-proof.

Lock the shop Disconnect master switches.

Remove the yetlow Switch

Key.

Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the too!.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING

THE TABLE INSERT

The table inset must be llushwith the surface of the saw

table to keep the workpiece from hanging up or binding

with the sawblade as the workpiece is cut by the sawblade.

1. Lower sawblade beneath the table insert and checkto be surethe screw fastening the insert in Place is snug.

2. Use a straight edge to check near each of the eight leveling tab positionsto determine if the insert is flush with the surface of the saw table at all eight leveling tab positions.

3. If insert is not flush with table surface, loosen inser_ fastening screw and pull insert forward to lift from saw table.

4. Bend with pliers or tap with a hammer, as required, to make the insert flush with the table top.

r

HEELING ADJUSTMENT OR

PARALLELISM OF THE SAWBLAOE

THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE

TO

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line

PARALLELto the SAWBLADE, therefore, both the Miter

Gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be PARAL-

LEL to the SAWBLADE.

WARNING: if the sawblade is NOT parallel with

the Miter Gauge Groove, it is said to have "HEEL'.

This condition can cause the workpiece to bind or

move away from the Rip Fence at the end of a rip cut, possibly causing a kickback.

make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-

I WARNING: To avoid injury from accide ntai stall, nected to power source outlet.

1. Raise blade to highest elevation.

2. Lift Blade Guard, if already installed, to highest position.

3. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth of the sawbiade which is naturally bent to the left.

4. Place the head of a combination square in the left

Miter Gauge Groove and adjust the ruler blade of the square so that the end of the blade just touches the

14 side of the tooth you marked on the sawblade.

Remember to keep the head of the square flush against the Miter Gauge Groove.

5. Rotate the sawblade so that the "X" on the tooth is now visible at the rear of the saw.

6. Move the combination square to the rear of the saw and the end of the square blade should just touch the marked tooth the same as it did at the front of the sawblade.

.

.

If sawblade is not parallel with the Miter Gauge

Groove, you must adjust the position of the sawblade. Use a 3/16 in. hex "L" wrench to loosen the four adjustment locking screws about 1/2 turn.

Loosen two pan head screws on the rear skirt of the table about 1/2 turn.

9_

The mechanism under the table can now be moved sideways from above by covering the sawblade with a piece of cardboard and shifting the blade to the right or left as required.

10. After shifting the sawblade mechanism slightly, recheck the position of the marked tooth of the sawblade at both front and rear.

11. The tooth marked on the sawblade should be parallel to the Miter Gauge Groove after adjustment is made.

12. Tighten all screws carefully so as not to move sawblade out of alignment.

13. Re-check parallelism of marked sawblade tooth to the Miter Gauge Groove.

Repeat the steps for heeling adjustment if necessary.

BLADE TILT, OR SQUARENESS OF

BLADE TO TABLE

When the Bevel Pointer is pointing directly to the "0" mark on the Bevel Scale, the sawblade should make a

SQUARE cut 90° to the table.

90 ° Position

To check for SQUAR ENESS: turn switch "OFF" and remove plug from power

I WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start, I

1. Raise blade all the way UP, raise Blade Guard.

2. TILT blade a few degrees to the LEFT. Now, tilt blade back to the RIGHT as far as it will go.

3. Place the square against blade. Make sure square is not touching the TIP of one of the saw TEETH.

safety instructions for basic saw eperations

BOTH MODELS

BEFORE EACH USE:

1. Inspect yoursaw

A To avoid injury from accidental starting,unplugthe saw. turn the switch off and remove the Switch Key before raising or removing the Guard, changing the cutting tool, changing the setup or adjusting anything_

B Check for a_ignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability,and any other conditions that may affect the way the saw works, if any part is missing, bent, or broken m any way, or any electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the saw.

C Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using the saw again.

D. Use the Sawbiade Guard, Spreader, and Anti-

Kickback Pawls forany thru-sawing (wheneverthe

blade comes through the top of the workpiece).

Make sure the Pawlswork properly. Make sure the

Spreader is in line with the sawblade.

E REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AN D WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking for and removing keys and adjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.

F To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1. USEONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

(See page 47).

Follow the instructions that come with the accessories. Using other acces- sories may be dangerous.

2 Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do

3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off

wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels. They can fty apart explosively.

4. Choo se and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

a To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher, b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

c_ When thru_sawing (making cuts where the blade comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10 inch diameter blade.

This keeps the Spreader in closest to the blade.

d. Do not over tighten arbor nut.

Use arbor wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with property set teeth.

Consult a I_rofessional blade sharpenerwhen in doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin,

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.

NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6 Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts have any excessive play.

36

2. Keep work area clean

A. CSuttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases

3. Plan your work - plan ahead to protect your eyes,

hands, face, ears.

WARNING: To avoid injury, don't do layout, assernbny, or setup work on the table while the blade is spinning, it could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.

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

B. Dress for safety:

1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wristwatches).

They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

2. Wear non-slip footwear.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5. Noise levels vary widely.

To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for long periods of time.

6. Any power saw can throw foreign objects into

the eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when

they break.

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along

with the safety goggles.

C. Inspect your workpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreignobjects in the part of the workpiece

to be cut.

D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW.

BACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece binds

on the blade and is thrown violently back toward the front of the saw.

1. Inspect yourworkpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

2. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a

Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position and guide the work, so it won't twist, bind on the blade and kickback.

3. Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

4. When cutting Irregu_arty shaped workpieces, p_an your work so it will not slip and pinch the

Made: a_ A piece of molding, for exampte, must lie fiat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not ie_:it twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or fixtures where needed to prevent wo_kpiece shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of too_for work that can't be made stable.

5. Use extra caution with large, very srna_ or awkward workpieces: a_ Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) forany workpieces {arge enough to tip when not he_d down to the table top.

NEVER use another person as a substitute for a TaMe Extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic saw tame, or to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.

b. Never confine the piece being cut off. That is, the piece NOT against the Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture.

Never hold it, clamp it, toucil it, or use length stops against it. it must be free to move. if confined, it could get wedged against the blade and cause a kickback or throwback.

c. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.

d. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before cleadng the table or all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the cut planned.

4. Plan the way you will push the workpJece through

A NEVER pulJ the workpiece through.

Start and finish the cut from the front of the table saw.

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade or other cutting too!.

C. NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to hold-down or support tile workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D.Avoid

awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause tinge rs or hand to move into a sawblade o r other cutting tool.

E. DON'T OVERREACH.

Always keep good footing and balance.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade.

NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the saw.

G.Always

push the workpiece all the way past the sawblade.

H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade, out of line with a possible kickback or throwback.

I. NEVER turn the saw"ON" before clearing the tabl of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the wor_ piece and related feed or support devices for th cut planned.

J. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sur switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

ADDiTiONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS.

Before starting:

1. Never use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gauge

CROSSCUTTING

can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks.

Attach it to the holes provided.

Make the facing long enough and big enough to support your work.

Make sure, however, it will not interfere with the sawblade guard.

3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small to extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge face during the cut. This lets you properly hold the Miter

Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away from the blade.

While cutting:

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge as shown in this section.

WORKPI ECE

1

Crosscut is known as a cutting or shaping operation made across the width of a workpiece.

The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where ex-

treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for

example, make a trial cut and then re-check it with an

accurate square, or protractor.

If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

NOTE: The space between the MiterGauge Bar andthe

groove inthe 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 sandpapertothe face ofthe 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.

The Miter Gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table.

Make sure it is locked.

WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback, hold Miter Gauge properly.

I [ itI

TABLE l

When using the Miter Gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the Miter Gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your right.

When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the Lock Handle with your left hand.

When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Fence/

Work Support and position it on top of the Guide Bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as possible. If

thisdoes not adequately support the workpiece, you can

make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

See illustration above.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the

Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

REPET_TIVE CUTTING

REPETITIVE cuTrtNG is known as cutting a quantity of pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.

1. Use the Stop Rods (optior_al accessory) on{y for cutting duplicate pieces 6 inches tong and _onger.

2. When making repetitive cuts from a _ong workpiece, make sure it is adequately supported.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

3. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP

BECAUSE THE CUT-OFF PIECE COULD BIND

BETWEEN THE FENCE AND "["HE BLADE CAUS-

ING A KICKBACK.

4. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches, clamp a block of wood 2 inches tong to the table to act as a length stop. Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly.

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

CAUTION: Avoid kickback from twisting the workpiece.

When clamping the block, make sure that the end ot the b_ock is wel_ _n front of the sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

5. Slide the workpiece along the Miter Gauge until gt touches the block, hold it securely.

Use Hold-Down

Clamp _optional accessory} for greater accuracy.

6. Make the cut, pull the workpiece back. turn saw off, wait for blade to stop and remove cut off piece before continuing.

MITER 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 Gauge to 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, hold the workpiece firmly against the Miter Gauge head with your left hand, and grip the Lock Knob with your

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.

2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade.

When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push block whe never the fence must be between 1/2 and 2 inches of theblade.

Never thru-saw rip cuts less than 1/2 inch wide.

3. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailing end of the board must be square.

A Push Stick or

Block against an uneven end could slip off or push the work away from the fence.

4. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.

KERFS ABOUT Ii

Before starting:

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

2. Check the Anti-Kickback Pawls.

(See BASIC SAW

OPERATION- USING THE RIP FENCE.) The Pawls must stop a kickback once it has started. Replace or sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points become dull.

3. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw.

However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the Anti-Kickback

Pawls may not stop a kickback.

Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures,

While cutting:

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always push forward on the section of the workpiece between the sawblade and the Rip Fence. Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

40

RIPPING

Ripping is known as a cutting operation aIong the tengt H of the workpiece.

Position the Fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and lock in place.

Belore starting to rip, be sure:

1. Rip Fence is paraflel to sawblade.

2. Spreader is properly a_igned with sawblade.

3. Anti-Kickback Pawls are functior_mg properly.

When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS, always use a work support.

A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse,

Keep your hands out of the blade path_

WARNING: To avoid kickback, use LEFT hand 1

ONLY to guide the workpiece.

Do not FEED tl_e

workpiece with your left hand.

Stop your left thumb at the front edge of the table. Finish the cut with the appropriate pusher.

Feed the workpiece by pushing forward only on the part of the workpiece that will pass between the btade and I he fence.

When WIDTH OF RIP is 1/2 inch to 2 inches, the Push

Stick CANNOT be used because the Guard will interfere. USE the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support and Push

Block.

Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work Support to Rip Fence with two "C" clamps.

Feed the workpiece by hand along the Auxiliary Fence until the end is approximately 1 inch past the front edge of the table.

Continue to feed using the Push Block.

Hold the workpiece in position and install the Push Block by sliding it on top of the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support

(this may raise Guard).

WARNING: To avoid injury from blade contact, I

never thru-saw cuts narrower than 1/2 inch wide. '1

Narrow strips thicker than the Auxiliary Fence/Work

Support may enter the Guard and strike the Baffle.

CAREFULLY raise Guard only enough to clear the workpiece. Use Push Block to complete cut.

USING FEATHERBOARDS

SAWmNG

FOR THRU

Featherboards are NOT employed for thru-sawing op-

erations when using the Miter Gauge.

Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the Fence and table as shown, and to help stop kickbacks.

Add 7-1/2 inch Mgh flat facing board tothe Fence, the full

length of the Fence.

Mount Featherboards to Fence and table as shown, so that leading edges of Featherboards wil! support workpiece.

WARNING: Make sure the Featherboard against the edge presses only on the uncut position (in front of the blade).

Btmight othenNise pinch the blade i the kerr and cause a kickback.

Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and cutter below tabte surface):

1. install Featherboards so they exert pressure on the workpiece; be positive they are secure, and

2. Make sure by trial that the Featherboards will stop a kickback if one should occur.

RESAWaNG

RESAWING is a thru-sawing cut made by ripping a piece of wood through its thickness Do not attempt to resaw

BOWED or WARPED material.

NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider than 3-3/8 inches, it will be necessary to remove the blade guard and usethe Auxiliary Fence/Work Support. (See"WORK

HELPERS").

Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE

EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without

BINDING between the two Fences.

Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge ot the table because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly.

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

WARNING: For your own safety

1.

DO not "Back up" (reverse feeding) while resawing becausethis could cause a kickback,

2.

Make first pass to a depth slightly more than

RABBETING

RABBETING is known as cutting out a section of the corner of a piece of material, across an end or along an edge.

To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go all the way through the material.

Therefore, the Blade Guard must be removed.

1. Remove Blade Guard.

2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work- piece) as shown, add facing to Rip Fence approximately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust Rip

Fe nce and blade to required dimensions; then make first cut with board flat on table as any rip (type) cut;

make second cut with workpiece on edge. Follow all precautions, safety instructions, and operational instructions as for ripping, or riptype operations, includ- ing Featherboards and Push Stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2

inches and narrower, make the rabbet cut with the board flat on the table. Using the Miter Gauge fitted

with a Facing, follow the same procedures and in- structions for cross cutting making successive cuts across the width of the workpiece to obtain the desired width of cut. DO NOT use the Rip Fence for rabbeting across the end.

1. The beadrK:js,in both end shields of the motor, have

been lubricated at the factory with correct lubricant.

No other part of the motor requires lubrication.

2. if disassembly of the motor is necessary, itshould be returned to your nearest Sears retail or main-order store in order to prevent voiding the guarantee.

NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated or changed.

3. Every effort should be made to prevent foreign materiat trom entering the rr_tor.

When operated under conditions likely to permit accumulations of dust, dirt, or waste within the motor, a visual inspection should be made at frequent intervals.

Accumulations of dry dust can usually be blown out successfully.

NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are particularly susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips and should be blown out or

"vacuumed" frequently to prevent interference with normal motor ventilation.

maintenance

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start,

turn switch "OFF" and remove plug from power

source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your saw.

Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw.

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate

inside the saw cabinet and the motor.

Frequently clean your cutting tools with Craftsman Gum and Pitch Remover.

A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will

help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide more freely.

It the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

Make sure the teeth of the Anti-Kickback Pawls are always sharp. To sharpen:

1. Remove Blade Guard.

2. Rotate Pawl toward rear of Spreader so that teeth are above top of Spreader.
