ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING.
1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
TOOLS ...SEE PAGE 2
2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW ... SEE PAGE 14
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION ... SEE PAGE 17
4. ADJUSTMENTS . .. SEE PAGE 23
5. MAINTENANCE . .. SEE PAGE 26
6. 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 table extensions over 24 in,
wide, make sure they are supported underneath by a
sturdy brace attached to saw base or bench.
7. LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the
saw blade.
8. KICKBACKS
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "Kickback"
occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the
sawblade and the rip fence or other fixed object, rises
from the table, and is thrown 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. Replacing
anti-kickback pawls when points become dull.
C. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and
anti-kickback 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.
9. 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 prop>erly repaired or replaced.
B. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANS
Z87.1-1968, and a face shield if operation is dusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.
C. 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 IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.
D. 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.
E. 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.
F. NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
G. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
H. 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.
I. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" —
always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to
position and guide the work.
J. NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting or the
miter guage 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.
K. Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord
when removing the table insert, changing the
cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade guard,
or making adjustments.
L. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
M. 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 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.
N. 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 table slots or 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.
10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A Dull, gummy,or improperly sharpened or set cuTt ng
tools can cause material to stick, jam. stall tne saw,
or kickback at the operator.
Minimize potential injury by proper .sutr-ng too,
and machine maintenance.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A SlA_l EC
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TijFN'NG THE
SAW OFF.
B. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels,
friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or
buffing wheels.
11. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS
SAW.
12. Cross-cutting operations are more conveniently worked
and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is
attached to the miter gauge using the holes provided.
13. 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.
14. Do not use any blade or other cutting 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 is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
15. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER
operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing
XFORESIGHT IS
'' BETTER THAN
power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears
retail or catalog stores.
N0 SIGHT
16. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at alt times when the saw is being used.
17. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
The AC motor used in this saw is a capacitor start,
non-reversible type, with the following specifications:
Voltage................................................................................................240
Amperes ................................................................................................7
Hertz .....................................................................................................60
Phase ........................................................................................... Single
RPM .............................................................................................. 3450
Rotation (viewed from
sawblade end) .....................................................Counterclockwise
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
The saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset thermal
overload protector, designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.
1. "If motor is overloaded and overload protector is
actuated (stopping motor) BE POSITIVE you push
switch "OFF" immediately and allow the motor to coot
before attempting to reset the protector. Since the
protector is near the sawblade, the switch must not be
turned "ON" until after you have reset the protector.
2. If the red button will not snap into place immediately,
the motor is still too hot and must be allowed to cool
for a while longer.
3. As soon as the red button will snap into running
position, the saw may be started and operated normally
by moving the saw switch lever to the "ON" position.
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 be not less 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 connections, load and
supply circuit when the motor fails to perform
satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with the
table in the next paragraph. Replace or repair damaged
or worn cord immediately.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This saw must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately.
CAUTION; This saw is wired for operation on 240 volts
only. Connect to a 15 ampere branch circuit protected by a
15 ampere time delay or circuit saver fuse or circuit
breaker.
WARNING; Do not permit fingers to contact the terminals
of power or motor plugs when installing or removing the
plug to or from a live power source. Hold the plug as
WARNING; IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN
USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS, IN PROXIMITY TO
PLUMBING, OR OUT OF DOORS. IF AN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A
SEC ON DAR Y HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS
CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. The ground conductor has a green lug and is
attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong
grounding type lugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tools plug.
