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.

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.
