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 20

3. BASIC SAW OPERATION... SEE PAGE 23

4. ADJUSTMENTS... SEE PAGE 29

5. MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 32

6. STABILITY OF SAW

If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move durmg certain cutting ooerations 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 a I_propriate, 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 s forced to stand in line with the saw blade.

8. KICKBACKS Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "Kickback'"

occurs when a 0art of the workpiece binds between the sawblade and the rid 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 oV:

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 musl stop a kickback once it has started. Check their action before ripping,

D. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warpea or does

not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.

E. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it al! the

way past the sawblade.

F. Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2 to 6 in.,

ana an auxiliary fence ana push block for ripping widths narrower than 2 q. (See "Basic Saw

Operation Using The Rip Fence" section._

G. NOT confining the cut-off oiece 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

P_ If any oar[ 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 opera[rag immediately until the particular part s properlv repaired or rep aced.

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 [hat

contact the rear of the revolving blade can be

thrown back at the operator at excessive soeed. This can usualtv be avoided by keeping the guard and spreader in place for all thru-sawing operations

(sawing entirelv thru the work) AND by removmg

a loose pieces from the table with a long stick of wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.

D. Use extra caution when the guaro assembly is

removea for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting, or molding - replace the guard as soon as tna_

operation is completed.

E. For rip or rip-type cuts. the following end of a

workoiece 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 featherhoaros. A

feather board is made of solid lumber per sketch.

_S"

KERF ABOUT

G. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the

[able of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workoiece and _elateo feed or suoport devices for [he operation planned.

H. NEVER place your face or body n line with the

cutting toot.

I NEVER place your fingers or hands ir 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 workmece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid

awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slib 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 or the

mtter gauge when ripping, DO NOT use the rid 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 _s "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating.

N. Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power core

whet removing the table insert, changing the cutting tool, remowng or replacing the blade guard.

or making adjustments.

O. Provide adectuate support to the rear and s_des of

the saw table for wider or long worKpiece's.

P. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials

may oe 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.

Q. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workolece,

turn saw "OFF", remove the worKpiece from the sawblade, and check to see f the sawblade s

parallel to the miter gauge grooves and i_ 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 ;)ieces 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 extr_ 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 potent/a 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 notinterfere 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

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. AcIjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER operate the saw unlessthe proper insert is installed.

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 m 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 you mount the saw on any other bench, make sure that

there is an opening in the/top of the bench the same size as the opening in the bottom of the saw so that the sawdust can drop through. Recommended working height is 33 to

37 inches from the top of the saw table to the floor.

ATTACHING AND ASSEMBLING TABLE EXTENSIONS

If you received Table Extensions with your saw (two

furnished with Model No. 113.298031) or one furnished with Model No. 113.298151 ) attach them at this time.

If you have only one Table Extension, it may be attached to either side.

NOTE: When the Table Extension is attached to the left

side, it offers more support to the workpiece, especially when crosscutting or mitering long boards. When attached

to the right side, it offers more support when curing wide

panels.

If you attach the Extension to the left side, be sure to

construct the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support and Push

Block shown in "Basic Saw Operation" section.

ALIGNING RIP FENCE

The fence should slide easily along the bars and always remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade and miter gauge

grooves).

The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath the fence which bearsagainst the front guide bar,

To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the fence with one hand at the front.

For very close adjustments, grasp the guide bar with both handsand move the fence with your thumbs.

Place fence on saw but DO NOT LOCK IT. Move the REAR END of the fence slightly to the right or

left ... when you release it, the fence should "spring" back to its original position.

If it does not, the spring pressuremust be INCREASED.

1. Loosen the screws.

2. Move Spring slightly toward front of fence.

If the fence does not slideeasily along the bars, the pressure

of the spring can be REDUCED.

1. Loosen the screws.

2. Move spring slightly toward rear of fence ... tighten screws.

The rip fence must be PARALLEL with the sawblade

(seepage 29) and miter Gauge grooves... Move fence

until it is along side of groove. Do NOT LOCK IT. It should be parallel to groove. If it is not;

A. Loosen the two "Hex. Head Screws." B. Hold fence head tightly against bar ... move end

of fence sothat it isparallel with groove,

C. Altemately tighten the screws.
