1.USEONLY"RECOMMENDEDACCESSO- RIES"(Seepage47). Followtheinstructions

thatcomewiththeaccessories.Usingother

accessoriesmaybedangerous.

2. Choosetherightbladeorcuttingaccessoryfor thematerialandthetypeofcuttingyouplanto

do.

3. Neverusegrindingwheels, abrasive cut-off

wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully. a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrap-

nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or smaller blades or other cutting tools marked

for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades de-

signed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

c. When thru-sawing (making cuts where the

blade comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10 inch diameter blade. This

keeps the spreader in closest to the blade.

d. Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with properly setteeth.

Consult a professional blade sharpenerwhen in doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts have any excessive play.

2. Keep work area clean

A. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

3. Plan your work - plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

WARNING: To avoid injury, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the

blade is spinning. It could cut or throw any- thing hitting the blade.

A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or

attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

B. Dress for safety:

1. Do not wear loose clothing,gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get

caught and draw you into moving parts.

2. Wear non-slip footwear.

3. Tie back long hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for long periods of time.

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into

the eyes. This can cause permanent eye dam-

age. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resis- tant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog

stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with the safety goggles.

C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no

nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-

BACKS -when a part or all of the workpiece binds on the blade and is thrown violently back toward

the front of the saw.

Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position

and guidethe work, so itwon't twist, bind onthe blade and kickback.

2. Make sure there's no debris between the work-

piece and its supports.

3. When cutting irregularlyshaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the

blade: a. A piece of molding, for example, must lieflat

or be held by a fixture or jigthat will not let it

twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece

shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

4. Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces:

Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for anyworkpieces large enough

to tip when not held down to the table top.

NEVER use another person as a substitute

for atable extension, oras additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than

the basic saw table, or to help feed, support

or pullthe workpiece.

safety instructions for table saw

b. Never confine the piece being cut off, that is,

the pieceNOT against the fence, mitergauge or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it. touch it, or

use length stops against it. itmust be free to move. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwedged against

the blade and cause a kickback or throw-

back. c. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time. d. Never turn your table saw"ON" before clear°

ing everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table.

4. Plan the way you wil! push the workplece throug h A NEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and

finish the cut from the front of the tabb saw.

B. NEVER putyour fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade or other cuthng tool.

C. NEVER reach inback of the cutting toolwith either

hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could

cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other oJtting tool,

E. DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing

and balance.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the

blade, NEVER feed material intothe cutting tool

from the rear of the saw.

G Always push the workpiece all the way past the

sawblade.

H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to

one side ofthe sawblade, out of linewith a possible kickback or throwback.

I NEVER turn the saw"ON"before clearingthetabte

of al! tools wood scraps, etc., except the work- piece and related feed or support devices for the cut planned.

J, AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure

switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPINNING WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless frac-

tion of a second is enough to cause a severe

injury.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept asafe distance fromwork. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece.

5, Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer atits designed rate. Feedthe workpiece intothe blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging

down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed materiah A. Turn switch "OFF".

B. Unplug the saw. C. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for proper align-

ment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off p_eces: A Use the Guard assembly.

B. To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside

the guard:

1. Turn saw "OFF".

2. Remove switch key

3. Wait for blade to stop before liftingthe Guard.

ADDITIONAL _NSTRUCTIONS FOR

RiP TYPE CUTS

1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.

2 Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade. When thru-sawing, use an

Auxiliary Fence and Push Block whenever the Fence

must bebelween 1/2 and 2 inchesof the blade. Never

thru-saw rip cuts narrower than t/2 inch (See

'_ASIC SAW OPERATION -USING THE RIP FENCE" section.)

3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

4. When using a Push Stick or Push Btock, the traiting end ot the board must be square. A Push Stick or

Block against an uneven end coutd stip off or push the

work away from the Fence.

5, A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.

(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.") Always use Featherboards for any non

thru rip type cuts.

24 _i

1. Before actually cutting with the saw, watch itwhile it runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise

or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off, Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and fixing

the problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns toward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you're planning.

S/16" APART

BEFORE STARTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

2_ Before thru-sawing, check the AntioKickback Pawls.

(See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.") The Pawls must stop a kickback once it

has started Replace or stlarpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points become duti.

3. 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 espe-

cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always push forward on the section of the workpiece between the saw blade andthe Rip Fence. Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTOONS FOR

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

BEFORE STARTING

1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached [o the Miter Gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks

Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing iong enough and big enough to support your work. Make sure, however, it witl not interfere with the Sawbfade

Guard..

3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too sina!! to extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge face

during the cut. This lets you properly hold the Miter

Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away from the blade. (See page 32,)

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge as shown in "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - USING THE MITER GAUGE,"

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW 1_ Turn the saw off.

2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

3. Make workshop child-proof. Lockthe shop Discon- nect master switches. Remove the yetlow Switch

Key. Store it away from children and others not

qualified to use the too!.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

1. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may

result ifmotor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fusedwith afuse other than those recommended. Do

notuse a fuse of greater capacity without consulting

the power company.

2. Although the motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,

minimal loads will be handled safely at voltages 10% aboveor below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals be not less than the voltage specified on nameplate.

3- Most motor troubles may betraced to loose or incor-

rectconnections, overloading, reduced input voltage (which results when small size wires are used inthe

supply circuit)orwhen the supply circuit isextremely long. Always check connection, load and supply

circuitwhen the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table atend ofthis

section.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE TABLE INSERT

The table inset must be llushwith the surface of the saw table to keep the workpiece from hanging up or binding

with the sawblade as the workpiece is cut by the saw-

blade.

1. Lower sawblade beneath the table insert and checkto be surethe screw fastening the insert in Place is snug.

2. Use a straight edge to check near each of the eight

leveling tab positionsto determine if the insert is flush

with the surface of the saw table at all eight leveling tab positions.

3. If insert is not flush with table surface, loosen inser_

fastening screw and pull insert forward to lift from saw

table.

4. Bend with pliers or tap with a hammer, as required, to make the insert flush with the table top.

HEELING ADJUSTMENT OR

PARALLELISM OF THE SAWBLAOE TO

THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line

PARALLELto the SAWBLADE, therefore, both the Miter Gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be PARAL-

LEL to the SAWBLADE.

WARNING: if the sawblade is NOT parallel with the Miter Gauge Groove, it is said to have "HEEL'.

This condition can cause the workpiece to bind or move away from the Rip Fence at the end of a rip

cut, possibly causing a kickback.

make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-

I WARNING: To avoid injury from accide ntai stall,

nected to power source outlet.

1. Raise blade to highest elevation.

2. Lift Blade Guard, if already installed, to highest posi-

tion.

3. Mark an "X" on one ofthe teeth of the sawbiade which is naturally bent to the left.

4. Place the head of a combination square in the left Miter Gauge Groove and adjust the ruler blade of the

square so that the end of the blade just touches the

side of the tooth you marked on the sawblade. Re- member to keep the head of the square flush against

the Miter Gauge Groove.

5. Rotate the sawblade so that the "X" on the tooth is now visible at the rear of the saw.

6. Move the combination square to the rear of the saw

and the end of the square blade should just touch the marked tooth the same as it did at the front of the

sawblade.

If sawblade is not parallel with the Miter Gauge

Groove, you must adjust the position of the saw-

blade. Use a 3/16 in. hex "L" wrench to loosen the

four adjustment locking screws about 1/2 turn.

Loosen two pan head screws on the rear skirt of the table about 1/2 turn.

The mechanism under the table can now be moved

sideways from above by covering the sawblade with a piece of cardboard and shifting the blade to the

right or left as required.

10. After shifting the sawblade mechanism slightly, re- check the position of the marked tooth of the saw- blade at both front and rear.

11. The tooth marked on the sawblade should be paral- lel to the Miter Gauge Groove after adjustment is

made.

12. Tighten all screws carefully so as not to move sawblade out of alignment.

13. Re-check parallelism of marked sawblade tooth to the Miter Gauge Groove. Repeat the steps for

heeling adjustment if necessary.
