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 UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.
1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
TOOLS... SEE PAGE 2
2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW... SEE PAGE 15
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION... SEE PAGE 17
4. ADJUSTMENTS... SEE PAGE 24
5. MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 27
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"
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.
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
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. Replacing
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 istwisted 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" (See Page 18) 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
crosscutting.
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 properly repaired or replaced.
B. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1,
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-SAWlNG"
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.
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.
F.
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 lumber per sketch.
1, 2,,, , I
1/4" APART
I_1_1 KER_ABOUT
G. 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.
H. NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
I. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
J. 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.
K. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
L. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" --
always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge
to position and guide the work.
M. NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting orthe
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.
N. 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.
O. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
P. 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.
Q. 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.
R.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.
S. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a
twisted grain or is twisted or bowed -- it may rock
on the table and/or pinch the sawblade.
10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpened or set
cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall
the saw, or kickback at the operator.
Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool
and machine maintenance.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING 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. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently
worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood
facing is attached to the miter gauge using the holes
provided. However, the facing must not interfere with
the proper functioning of the sawblade guard.
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.

TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER ON WHILE THE
SAW IS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS WILL DAMAGE
THE MOTOR.
3. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear
of the saw. An accident and serious injury could
result.
17. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense
and alertness at all times when the saw is being used.
18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.

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.
4.
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.
5.
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 connection, load and
supply circuit when the motor fails to perform
satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table at
end of this section.

CHECKING BLADE SQUARENESS TO TABLE
IMPORTANT: BLADE must be SQUARE (90° ) to
TABLE, in order to proceed with assembly.
To check for blade squareness, refer to "BLADE TILT, OR
SQUARENESS OF BLADE TO TABLE" adjustments on
page 25.
NOTE: The Combination Square must be "TRUE" - See
start of "Unpacking and Checking Contents section on page
6 for checking method.
CHECKING BLADE FOR HEEL
IMPORTANT: Saw blade MUST be parallel to miter gauge
groove.
To check for parallelism, refer to "HEELING
ADJUSTMENT OR PARALLELISM OF SAWBLADE TO
MITER GAUGE GROOVE" adjustment on page 24.

Maximum depth of cut MUST NOT EXCEED TWO
INCHES. This adjustment is set at the factory and should
be checked to make sure that it has not changed due to
rough handling during shipment.
MAKE SURE SQUARE
IS NOT TOUCHING
TIP OF TOOTH
\
With the blade up as high as it will go, measure the distance
from the top of the table to top of the highest saw tooth. If
it is more than two (2) inches, adjust it at this time. Refer
to "BLADE ELEVATION'" adjustments on page 26.
