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 =sany 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, asappropriate.

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 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" (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

/_ 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 ;)ieces 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 corn pleted.

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

nto 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 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.

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 adeauate 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 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 perm=t anyone else to stand, in line

with a potential kickback.

N. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work

on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

O. 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.

P. 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 vour

hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and wait until blade stops.

10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS

A. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpened or setcutting

tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall the saw, or kickback at the opelator.

Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool and machine maintenance.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE

SAW OFF.

B. Neverusegrindingwheels,abrasivecut-offwheels.

frictionwheels(metalslittingblades)wirewheelsor buffingwheels.

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.

WEAR YOUR

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 power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears

16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the saw. An accident and seriousinjury could result.

17. THINK SAFETY.

Safety is a combination of operator common senseand alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

MOTOR SPECI FICATIONS

The AC motor used in this saw is a capacitor start, non-reversible type, with the following specifications:

Voltage ................................. 120

Amperes ................................. 12

Hertz ................ : .................. 60

Phase ................................ Single

RPM ................................... 3450

Rotation (vieweq 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. NOTE: The starting relay is a GRAVITY SENSITIVE

TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER ON WHILE THE SAW IS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE MOTOR.

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor, move the saw switch lever to the "OFF" position

immediately and allow the motor to cool.

2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the overload protector can be closed manually by pushing

in the red RESET button on the front of the saw. 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. /ks 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 maneplate voltage.

Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals by 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 connection, load and supply circuit when the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table at

end of this section.

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.

If your saw is for use on less than 150 volts it has a plug

that looks like below.

3-PRONG PLUG

1. Line up FLAT SPOTS on shaft and handwheel, push handwheel onto shaft. Install screw and Iockwasher to

lock handwheel on shaft.

CHECKING TABLE INSERT

1. With the insert in place, and sawblade all the way down,

use a small scale or straight edge to check near each of the eight leveling tab positions, in order to determine if the insert is flush with saw table surface at all eight tab

locations,

2. If the insert is above the table surface, the leveling tabs

must be adjusted. A. LoosenScrew.

B. Lift insert from front end, and pull toward front of

saw.

C. Remove the insert, place it upside down on your

workbench and GENTLY TAP each of the tabs downward only a slight amount. Replace insert ...

check it and readjust tabs, if necessary.
