ADDITIONAL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR TABLE

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY

ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS,.. AND UNTIL YOU HAVE

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:

1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS. _. SEE PAGE 2

2, GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW.,, SEE PAGE

3. BASIC SAW OPERATION _., SEE PAGE 23

4. MAINTENANCE ._. SEE PAGE 31

5. STABILITY OF SAW

if there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or

move during certain cutting operations such as cutting extremely large heavy panels or long

heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down. If you attach any kind of auxiliary table

extensions over 24" wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either bolt the saw to the bench or

floor as appropriate, or support the outer end of the extension from the bench or floor, as

appropriate,

6. LOCATION The saw should be positioned so neither the

operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand

in line with the saw biade,

7. KICKBACKS

A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or all of the workpiece is violently thrown back 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 by:

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 must stop a kickback once it has started. Check their

action before ripping

D, NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or

does not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence

E NOT releasing work until you have pushed it

all the way past the sawblade.

F. Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2 to 6

in., and an auxiliary fence and push block for ripping widths narrower than 2 in. (See "Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence"

section )

G NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping

or cross-cutting

H When ripping apply the feed force to the

section of the workpiece between the saw

blade and the rip fence.

8. PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS, BODY

A if any part of your saw is malfunctioning, has

SAWS

been damaged or broken ...such as the motor switch, or other operating control, a safety

device or the power cord. cease operating immediately until the particular part is

properly repaired or replaced

Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1, and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.

Smali loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the rear of the revolving blade can

be thrown back at the operator at very high speed. This can usually be avoided by keeping the guard and spreader in place for all thru- sawing operations (sawing entirely thru the work) AND by removing all loose pieces from the table with a long stick of wood

IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off

Use extra caution when the guard assembly is

removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting, or

molding ,-- replace the guard as soon as that

operation is completed

For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a

workpiece to which a push stick or push board

is applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick or block does not cause the workpiece to come away from the fence, and possibly cause a kickback

During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must be held down on the table and against the fence with a push stick, push block, and/or

featherboards A featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch

5/I 6" APA_RT

G NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the

table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned

H NEVER place your face or body in line with the

cutting tool.

t NEVER pface yourfingers or hands in the path

of the sawblade or other cutting tool

J NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with

either hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason Avoid awkward operations and

hand positions where a sudden slip could

cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool

K. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while the cutting tool is

rotating

L, DO NOT perform any operation

"FREEHAND" -- always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to position and guide

the work

T Nevergangcrosscutor rip -- lining up more

than one workpiece in front of the blade

(stacked vertically, or horizontally outward on

the table) and then pushing through sawblade The blade could pick up one or

more pieces and cause a binding or loss of

control and possible injury

9. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS A° Dull, gummy, or improlSerly sharpened or set

cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall the saw, or kickback at the operator

Minimize potential injury by proper cutting

tool and machine maintenance

NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING

THE SAW OFF.

B- Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off

wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels

10oUSE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR

THIS SAW,

11_ Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool

rotates toward you when standing in normal

operating position Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed

properly Keep the cutting tool as low as

possible for the operation being performed Keep all guards in place whenever possible

12_ Do not use any blade or other culling tool

marked for an operating speed less than 3450 RPM. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for which the saw was

designed. For greatest safety and efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade for which the saw isdesigned, since under these conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.

13. NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed

14, NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from

the rear of the saw An accident and serious injury could result

t5, NEVER use another person as a substitute for a

table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, orto assist in feeding or supporting or

pulling the workpiece, DO NOT pull the workpiece through the sawblade -- position your body at the nose (in-

feed) side of the guard: start and complete the cut from the same side This will require added table support for tong or wide workpieces that extend beyond the length or width of the saw

table

16. THINK SAFETY. Safety is a combination of operator common

sense and alertness at att times when the saw is being used

17_ NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUC-

TIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

1 REPEATED STALLING OF THE SAW BLADE

WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR.

Always avoid stalling the blade If the motor has been abused (repeated stalling) and fails to start (hums), TURN THE SWITCH OFF, ALLOW THE

MOTOR TO COOL, THEN RE-START IT

2 ALWAYS USE SHARP BLADES A dull blade

requires excessive power and does not produce

quality results

3. NOTE: The starting relay is a GRAVITY SENSITIVE TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER

ON WHILE TH E SAW tS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS

WILL DAMAGE THE MOTOR.

4 Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers

may result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused with a fuse other than those

recommended Do not use a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power company°

5 Although the motor is designed for operation on

the voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more than 10% above or below

the nameplate voltage

Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at

motor terminals by not tess than the voltage

specified on nameplate

6 Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or

incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (which results when small size wires

are used in the supply circuit) or when the supply circuit is extremely long Always check connection, load and supply circuit when the

motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table at end of this section

CHECKING HEELING OR PARALLELISM OF SAW BLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line PARALLEL to the SAW BLADE . . therefore

both the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE

must be PARALLEL to the SAW BLADE

If the saw blade is not parallel to the miter gauge

groove, it is said to have "HEEL" This condition can cause the workpiece to bind or move workpiece

away from the rip fence at the end of a cut, possibly causing a kickback

WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL START MAKE SURE SWITCH IS "OFF" AND PLUG IS NOT CONNECTED TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET.

1. Elevate blade to maximum height by turning elevation handwheef

2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which _sSET (bent) to the LEFT

3, Place the head of a combination square in the

MITER GROOVE. Adjust blade of square so that it

just touches the tip of the MARKED tooth

4. Move squar;_ to REAR, rotate blade to see if MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.

5 If tooth touches square the same amount at

FRONT and REAR, sawblade is PARALLEL to

MITER GAUGE GROOVE

MARK 'X" ON

TOOTH

ADJUSTING PARALLELISM OF SAW

BLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE

If tooth does not touch front and rear the mechanism underneath must be adjusted to make

the blade PARALLEL to miter gauge groove

1. Loosen the four hex socket screws in the top of the table next to the saw blade using a 3/16 inch

hex L wrench This will allow the mechanism below the table to be shifted sideways

2 Fold a piece of cardboard or heavy paper over the

blade to protect your hands

3 Grasp the blade and the cradle rod and move the

mechani,sm right or left a small amount as needed to make the square touch the same amount front and rear Tighten one screw

4 Check with squareto determine if MARKED tooth

touches square the same amount at front and

rear tf it does -- alternately tighten other three screws

sfowly If it does not -- loosen screw and move blade the

required amount

5 Recheck blade clearance to table and table insert

to make sure blade does not hit

NOTE: Use the hex L wrench as shown Do not usea pair of pliers or any other tool to gain more leverage

on the setscrew wrench

ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE BEVEL STOP

(IMPORTANT: Blade must be square (90 ° ) to table in order to accurately align the saw° Using care in

the following adjustments will help assure accurate woodworking cuts.)

WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL START, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND

REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE ADJUSTING BEVEL STOP.

t Raise blade to highest elevation 2 Turn bevel handwheet just until it stops under

moderate pressure Blade should be 90° to the table top

3 Place a square flush on the table top to the left of

the sawblade and slide the square up against the body of the sawblade, NOT against the teeth of

the blade

4 The square should be nearly flush with the body

of the sawblade When this is so, the sawblade is said to be 90° with respect to the table top

Notice the bevel pointer on the front of the saw The pointer should be at 0°

5, If you feel the blade is not close enough to 90°

with respect to the table top, further adjustment can be made by performing the following operation&.

ADJUSTING 90 DEGREE BEVEL STOP

1 On the stop bracket are two t0-32 pan head

screws which set 90° stop position. If condition A exists the two screws need to be turned clockwise

to obtain 90° setting if condition B exists the stews should be turned counterclockwise
