AE)DJTIONAL SAFETY aNSTRUCTiONS FOR TABLE SAWS

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

27.

3. BASIC SAW OPERATION ... SEE PAGE 30.

4. MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 38.

5. STABlUTY 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 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 causal observer is forced tostand in line with the saw blade.

7. KICKBACKS

A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type

operation when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back violently 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 vvorkpiece 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

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.

B. Small loose pieces of wood or other objects

that contact the rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back at the operator at

excessive 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 IMMEDIATELYafter they are cut off.

O. 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.

g. 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.

E. 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, or featherboards. A featherboard is made of

solid tumber per sketch.

l= 24" ,_

5/16" APART KERFS ABOUT J_

F. 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.

G. NEVER place your face or body in line with

the cutting tool.

H. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the

path of the sawblade or other cutting tool.

i. 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.

J. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

K. DO NOT perform any operation

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

L. NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting

or the miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT use the rip fence as a length stop.

Never hold onto or touch the "free end" of the workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off,

while power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating.

M. Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the

power cord when removing the table insert,

changing ......... toot, removing or

replacing the blade guard, or making

adjustments.

N.Provide adequate support to the rear and

sides of the saw table for wider or long work pieces.

O. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)

materials 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 attentive to

following proper set-up and cutting

procedures for ripping. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a potential kickback.

P. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the

workpiece, turn saw 'OFF", remove the workpiece from the sawblade and check to see if the sawblade is parallel to the miter gauge grooves and if the spreader is in proper alignment with the sawblade. If

ripping at the time, check to see if the rip fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.

Q. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off

material that may become trapped inside the

blade guard while the saw is running. This could endanger your hands or cause a

kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and wait until blade stops.

R. Useextra care when ripping wood that has a

twisted grain oris twisted or bowed -- it may

when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade for which the saw is designed, since under these

conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.

14.

Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.

NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert

is installed.

15.

NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the saw. An accident and serious

injury could result.

17.

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, or to 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 iong or wide workpeices that extend beyond the length or width of the saw

table.

18. THINK SAFETY.

Safety is a combination of operator common

sense and alertness at all times when the saw is

being used.

19. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY iNSTRUC- TIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF

YOUR SAW.

HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE

GROOVE

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

both the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE.

If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge

groove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut.

(This is known as "HEELING").

To check for parallelism:

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

REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET.

1. Raise blade all the way up by turning elevation handwheel clockwise.

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 GROOVE... adjust blade of square so that it just

touches the tip of the MARKED tooth.

MARK'X"ON TOOTH

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

5. If tooth touches square at FRONT and REAR... sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER GAUGE GROOVE.

6. If tooth does not touch the same amount .. the mechanism underneath must be adjusted to

make the blade PARALLEL to GROOVE.

A. Rear support bearing must be moved

TOWARD the combination square if there is a space between marked tooth and end of square in step 4.
