SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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: 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 8-20). 2 Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch,

guard, spreader, anti-kickback device, miter gauge, fence, table insert and blade elevation and bevel

controls. (See page 21).

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 32).

Read the following DANGER label found on the front of the saw:

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW:

1. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Use the saw in adry place protected from rain Keep work

area well righted.

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 workp_ece.

b. Support the saw so the table is level and the

saw does not rock.

c Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to siip, walk,

or slide during normal use.

d. When us=ngtabre extensions over 24" 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 keep the saw from tipping.

3 Put the saw where neither operators or bystand-

ers must stand in line with the saw blade.

4 GROUND THE SAW- This saw has an approved

3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type pt,Jg. The plug fits grounding type outlets design-

ed for 120 volt 15 amp circuits. The green

conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. To

avoid electrocution, NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

5. To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's met31 prongs when plugging in or unplugging the saw.

6. To avoid back injury, get help or use recom- mended 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 tool. Do not store anything above or near the tool where 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 cutting tool, changing

the setup or adjusting anything.

b. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,

and any other conditions that may affect the

way it works. If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts don't 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 sawblade guard, spreader, and anti-

kickback pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever

the blade comes through the top of the work-

p,ece). Make sure the pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader is in line with the

sawblade.

e. REM©VE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form habit of checking for and removing keys and adiusting wrenches from toot before turning it on.

f. To avoid injury from jams. slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSO- RIES. Follow the instructions that come with

the accessories. Consult the owner's manual

for recommended accessories. The use of

improper accessories may cause risk of injury

to persons.

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 wheel. 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 8" 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" arbor.

c. When thru-sawing, (making cuts where the

blade comes through the workpiece top) always use a 8" diameter blade. This keeps

the spreader in closest to the blade.

d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with properly set

teeth. Consult a professional blade shar-

pener when 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.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

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

Plan your work

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

2. Dress for safety:

- Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get

caught and draw you into moving parts.

- Wear nonslip footwear.

- Tie back long hair.

- Roll long sleeves above the elbow

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 pack- age). 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

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

3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the work- piece to be cut.

4. Plan yourcut 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 it won't twist, bind on the blade and kickback.

-Make sure there's no debris between the

workpiece and its supports.

- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,

plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the

blade:

- 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, fixtures where needed to prevent work-

piece shifting.

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

- Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces:

-Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any workpieces large

enough to tip when not held down to the table top. NEVER use another person as a

substitute for a table extension, or as addi- tional support for a workpiece that is longer

or wider then the basic saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

- Never confine the piece being cut off. That

is, the piece NOT against the fence, miter gauge or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch 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.

- Nevercut morethan oneworkpieceat a time.

-Never turn your table saw "ON" before clearingeverythingexcepttheworkpiece andrelatedsupportdevicesoffthetable,

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

- NEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and finish the cut from the front of the table saw.

- NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade or other cutting tool.

- NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to hold down or support the work- piece, remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason.

- Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into asawblade or other cutting tool.

- DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing

and balance.

- Push the workpiece against the rotation of the blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool

from the rear of the saw.

- Always push the workpiece all the way past the

sawb/ade.

- As much as possible, keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade, out of line with a

possible kickback or throwback.

- 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 cut planned.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING WARNING: DON'T LET FAMILIARITY (GAINED

FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR TABLE SAW) CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION 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 immedi- ately. 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 a safe distance from work. 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. Feed the workpiece

into the blade only fast enough to let it cut

without bogging down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed material: 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 small, cut off pieces: a. Use the guard assembly.

b. Push loose pieces off the table with a long

stick before starting another cut.

c. To remove pieces trapped inside the guard:

1. Turn saw off.

2. Remove switch key.

3. Unplug saw.

4. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the guard.

additional instructions for RIP TYPE CUTS

NEVER use the miter gauge when ripping. Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 to 6

inches from the blade. Use an auxiliary fence and

push block whenever the fence must be within 2 inches of the blade. (See "Basic Saw Operation

Using The Rip Fence" section.) Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

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.

A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the work-

piece. See BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE. Always use featherboards for any non-thru rip type cuts.

,_ 2'I

I I

Before Starling

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

- Check theantikickback pawls. (See BASlCSAW

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

- Plastic and composition (like hardboard) mater-

ials may be cut on your saw. However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the antikickback pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.

While cutting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade,

always push forward on the section of the work- piece between the saw blade and the rip fence. Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

additional instructions for CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

- NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting.

- An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter gauge 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.

- 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.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR WOODWORKING

While cutting

-To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter gauge as shown in the BASIC SAW OPERA-

TIONS - 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. Dis- connect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.

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 handwheel.

2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which is SET (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 square 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

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

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.

1. Raise blade to highest elevation.

2. Turn bevel handwheel 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
