E. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND 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. USE ONLY"Recommended Accessories" (See page 40). Follow the instructionsthat come with

the accessories. Using other accessories 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 slilting blades)

wirewheelsorbuffingwheel. Theycan fly apad

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 sr other cutting tools

marked for speeds of 5000 rpm or higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades de-

signed 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 closest to the blade.

d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp bladeswith properly setteeth.

Consult a professional blade sharpener

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 usethe

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

C. To avoid injury,don't do layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while the blads is spinning. It

could cut or throw anything hitting the blade. PLAN AHEAD TO PROTECT YOUR EYES,

HANDS, FACE, EARS.

3. Plan your work

A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or

attachment to do a job it was notdesigned for.

1. DOnotwear looseclothing, gloves, neckties or

jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get caught and draw you into moving pads.

2. Wear nonslip footwear.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Rol! 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.f (shown on pack-

age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

Safety goggtes are available at Sears retail catalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in com- pliance 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.

Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no nailsor foreign objects inthe part of the workpiece

to be cut.

Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROWBACKS (when a part or all of the work- piece binds on the blade and is thrown violently back toward the front of the saw).

1. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position

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

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

3. Whencutting Irreguladyshaped workpleces, plan your work so itwill not slip and pinch the

blade:

a. A piece of molding, for example, rr_st lie flat

or be held by a fixture or jigthat will not let it

twist, rock or slipwhile being cut. Usejigsor 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

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

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept

uselength stopsagainst it. it must befreeto

move. If confined, itcouldgetwedged against

the blade and cause a kickback or throw-

back.

c. Never cut more than one workpiece ata time. d. Never turn your table saw"ON" before clear-

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

4. Planthewayyouwlil pushtheworkplecethrough

A. NEVER pull the workplece through. Start and B. Unplug the saw.

finish the cut from the front of the table saw,

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawb ade orother cutting tool.

C. NEVER reach !n back of the cuttingtool with 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 asawblade or other cutting tool.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the

blade. NEVER feed material intothe 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, outer line with apossible kickback or throwback.

I. NEVER tum the saw "ON"before clearingthe table

of all tools wood scraps, etc., except the work-

piece and related feed or support devices forthe cut planned.

J. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure

switch is"OFF" before plugging saw in,

WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING I WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-_

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless j

1 mistake, Always remember that a careless frac- J

tlon of a second Is enough to cause a severe j

I injury. J

t. Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it

runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise

a safe distance fromwork. Make sure bystanders are clear ofthe 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 atitsdesignedrate. Feedtheworkpiece intothe blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed material:

A. Turn switch "OFF".

C. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for proper align-

ment before starting, again.

8, To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;

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 forblade to stop before lifting the Guard,

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS 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 Blockwheneverthe Fence mustbe between 112and2 inchesofthe blade. Never

thru-sawrip cuts narrower than 1t2 inch. (See "Basic

Saw Operation - Using the Rip Fence" section.)

3. Never rip anything shorter than 10"long.

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

Blockagainst an uneven end could slipoffor pushthe

work away from the Fence.

5. A FEATHEABOARD can help guide the workpiece. See "BasicSaw Operations - Using the Rip Fence".

Always use Featherboards forany non thru rip type

BEFORE STARTING

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

sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

2. Before thru-sawing, 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 Pawiswhen 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 espe-

cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.

WHILE CUTTING

1. TO avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

pushforwardon the sectionofthe workpiece between the saw bladeand the RipFence, Never pushforward

on the piece being cut off.

ADDITIONAL 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

can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks. Attach ittothe holes provided. Make the facing !ong

enough and big enough to support your work. Make sure, however, it will not interfere with the Sawbiade 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. (See page 20.)

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge as shown in the "Basic Saw Operation - Using the

Miter Gauge."

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAY#

1. Turn the saw off.

2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

3. Make workshop child-proof. Lockthe shop. Discon- nect master switches. Remove the yellow Switch

Key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.
