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.
Page 4
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

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:
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
Page 5
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.

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING,
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING and when RABBETING
across the end of a narrow workpiece, THE MITER
GAUGE iSUSED.
WARNING; FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGES 2, 3, and 4.
1.
Never make these cuts freehand (without using the
miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the
blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or
cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.
2.
Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use.
3.
Remove rip fence from table.
4.
Make sure blade guard is installed for all "thru-sawing"
operations (when sawblade cuts entirely thru the
thickness of the workpiece.) Replace guard
IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing, molding
or rabbeting cuts.
5.
Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential.
6.
Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a
THROWBACK (Small cut-off piece caught by the back
of the blade and thrown toward the opierator). Stand to
either side of the blade.
7.
Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.
a If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH
OFF before attempting to free the blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut ... to support long or
heavy workpieces ... to remove cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with along stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
11. 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 the saw OFF. After the blade has stopp>ed turning,
lift the guard and remove the piece.
WORK HELPERS
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operations".
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like the
Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxiliary Fence/Work
Support, which you can make yourself.
After you have made a few practice cuts, make up these
"helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "Push
Stick" first. To rip the piece for the push stick, start out
with a wide board, say 11-1/2 in, wide and set the rip fence
9-3/4 in. from the blade.
PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the Push Stick using a piece of 1 x 2.
Make the Push Block using a piece of 3/8 in. and 3/4 in.
plywood.
The small piece of wood 3/8 in. x 3/8 in. x 2-1/2 in. should
be GLUED to the plywood ... DO NOT USE NAILS. This
is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you
mistakingly cut into the push block.
Position the handle in the center of the plywood and fasten
together with glue and woodscrews.
AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT
Make one using a piece of 3/8 in. and 3/4 in. plywood.
Fasten together with glue and woodscrews.
NOTE: Since the Push Block is used with the Auxiliary
Fence, the 4-3/4 in. dimensions must be held identical on
both the pieces.
Page 18
CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across
the grain, at 90°, or square with both the edge and the flat
side of the wood. This is done with miter gauge set at "0".
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking. In some cases where extreme
accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example,
make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square, or protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inacurracy.
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.
For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always
"favor" one side of the groove in the table. In other words,
don't move the miter gau^ from side to side while cutting,
but keep one side of the bar riding against one side of the
groove.
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter
gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) should be
used on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.
When cutting long workpieces, invert AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and position it on top of the
guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as
possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on
miter gauge for greater accuracy.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table. Make sure it is locked.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your right.
When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lockhandle with your left
hand.
REPETITIVE CUTTING
REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.
1. Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting
duplicate pieces 6 in. tong and longer.
2. DO NOT FEED workpiece with RIGHT Hand, merely
guide it, making sure that it does not bind or pinch the
sawblade.
When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make
sure it is supported.
Use the AUXILIARY FENCE / WORK SUPPORT for
additional support of the workpiece.
Lay it across the guide bars to support the workpiece
as near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
nniter gauge for greater accuracy.
AUXILIARY FENCE/
WORK SUPPORT
18
Page 19
1.
NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP
BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD BIND
BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE CAUSING
A KICKBACK.
When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in., clamp a
block of wood 3 in. long to the table to act as a length
stop.
CAUTION; When clamping the block, make sure that
the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be
sure it is clamped securely.
3.
Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it
touches the block . .. hold it securely or clamp it with
the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory).
4.
Make the cut ... pull the workpiece back ... push the
cut off piece off the table with a long push stick ., .
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD
ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.
MITER CUTTING
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than 90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same
procedure as you would for crosscutting.
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT Hand groove, hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lockhandle with your left
hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle .. . other than
90° with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the
blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT because
the blade guard will interfere. Hold the workpiece with
your right hand and the lockhandle with your left hand.
Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for
additional support of the workpiece.
Lay it across the guide bars to support the workpiece as
near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter
cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an angle
other than 90° to both the edge and the flat side of the
wood.
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired angle
... Make sure miter gauge is locked.

Page 20
USING THE RIP FENCE
RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWING AND
RABBETING are performed using the RIP FENCE together
with the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, PUSH
STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGES 2, 3, and 4.
Never make these cuts FREEHAND {without using the
1.
rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because
the blade could bind in the cut and cause a
KICKBACK.
Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
2.
Remove miter gauge from table.
3.
Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-sawing
4.
type cuts. Replace the guard IMMEDIATELY following
completion oif resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding
operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the
spreader while saw is OFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS do
RIPPING
RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood with the
grain, or lengthwise. This is done using the rip fence.
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and lock
in place.
Before starting to rip, be sure
A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.
B. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade.
C. Anti-Kickback pawls are functioning properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS, always
use a work support.
A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse.
BEVEL RIPPING
When bevel ripping material 6 in. or narrower, use fence on
the right side of the blade ONLY. This will provide more
space between the fence and the sawblade for use of a push
stick. If the fence is mounted to the left, the sawblade
guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.
not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it . . . the pawls
must be REPLACED. See "Maintenance" section.
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential.
6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a
KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the blade.
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.
8. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting. TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut ... to support long or
heavy workpieces ..,. to remove small cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
11. 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 the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped turning,
lift the guard and remove the piece.
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6 in. and WIDER use your
RIGHT Hand to f№d the workpiece until it is clear of the
table.
Use LEFT hand ONLY to guide the workpiece ... do not
FEED the workpiece with the left hand.
20
Page 21
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2 in. to 6 in. wide USE THE
PUSH STICK to feed the work.
When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than 2 in., the push
stick CANNOT be used because the guard will interfere ...
USE the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and
PUSH BLOCK.
Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is approx. 1 in.
from the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the
PUSH BLOCK.
When ripping narrow strips that may enter the guard and
strike the baffle, CAREFULLY raise guard only enough to
clear the workpiece. Use Push Block to complete cut
21
Page 22
RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of wood through
its thickness. NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider
than 3-9/16 in. ... it will be necessary to remove the blade
guard ... and use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT. (See "Work Helpers").
Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or WARPED material.
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE
EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without
BINDING between the two fences.
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly.
Place a small block or wood between the bottom edge of
the table and the "C" clamp.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ...
1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE
RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A
KICKBACK.
Z INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF THE RESAWING OPERATION.
AUXILIARY FENCE/
RABBETING
Rabbeting is known as cutting out a section of the corner
of a piece of material.
To make a RABBET requires two cuts which do not go all
the way through the material. Therefore the blade guard
must be removed.
1. Remove blade guard.
Z Adjust rip fence and blade to required dimensions.
3. Make first cut through edge. Follow resawing
procedure.
4. Remove auxiliary fence and make second cut.
5. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made using the dado head or
molding head.

“OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
MITER GAUGE
NOTE: The holes for the stop pin and the graduations are
manufactured to very close tolerances which provide
accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inaccuracy.
1. Loosen the "handle" and pull "stop pin" OUT.
2. Swivel the head . .. position it at "0" . .. push the
stop pin IN ... lock the handle.
3. The HEAD should be square with the Bar and the

To reach it, swivel the head to 60 degrees and turn
the miter gauge upside down.
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 - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET.
1. Raise blade all the way up.. . raise blade guard.
2. Mark as "x" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent) to

TROUBLE SHOOTING - MOTOR
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are particularly
susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips
TROUBLE
Excessive noise.
Motor fails to develop
full power. (Power
output of motor decreases
rapidly with decrease in
voltage at motor terminals.
For example, a reduction
of 10% in voltage causes
a reduction of 19% in
maximum power output
of which the motor is
capable, while a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes
a reduction of 36% in
maximum power output)
