WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW:

1. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Use the
saw in a dry place protectedfrom rain. Keep work

2. To avoidinjury from unexpected saw movement:

b. Support the saw so the table is level and the

saw does not rock.

C Bolt the saw to the floor if ittends to stip walk;

or slide during normal use. ,

d. When Using table extensions Over24;'wide _n

any side of ;_hesaw, bo tthe saw to the floor6r

prop Upthe outer end" of the extension from
the floor to keep the saw from tipping,

3 put the saw where neither operators or bystand-

ers must stand in line with the saw blade.

4. 'GROUND THE SAW- This saw has an approved

3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type
plug. The plug fits grounding type outlets design-

ed for 120 volt 15 amp circuits. The green

conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. To
avoid electrocution, NEVER connect the green
wire to a live terminal.

5. To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure
your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs

when plugging in or unplugging the saw.

6. To avoid back n.ury, get help or use recom-
mended casters when you need to move the saw.
Always get help if you need to lift the saw. Hold
the saw close to your body. Bend your knees so

you can lift with your legs, not your back.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could

occur if the tool t_ps or you accidentally hit the
cutting tool. Do not store anything above or near

the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to
reach them.

BEFORE EACH USE:

guard, changing the cutting tool. changing
the setup or adjusting anything.

b. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect the
way it works. If any part is missing, bent, or

broken in anyway, or any electrical parts don't

work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the

saw.

c. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts

before using the saw again.

d. Use the sawblade guard, spreader, and anti-

kickback pawls for any thru-sawing (wher)ever
the blade comes through the top of the work-

piece). Make sure the pawls work properly.

Make sure the spreader is in line with the

sawblade.

e. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form habit,of checking for and

removing keys and adjusting wrenches from

tool belt;re turning it on: ....

f. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback an(Jthrowback)_

1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSO:
R|ES. Follow the instructions that come with

the accessories. Consult the owners manual

!or recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury

to persons.

2. Choose the right blade orcutting accessory
for the material and the type of cutting you
plan to do.

3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting

blades) wire wheels or buffing wheel. They
can fly apart explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool care-
fully.

a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown

shrapnel (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

designed to fit this saw's 5/8" 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 overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with properly set

teeth. Consult a professional blade sharp-
ener when 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
sawdus_

b. To avoid burns or ott_er fire damage, never use

the saw near flammable liauids, vapors or
gases.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face.'

ears.

a. To avoid injury, don't do layout, assembly, or

setup work on the table while the blade is

spin ning. It could cut or throw anything hitting

the blade.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

Plan your work

1. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

2. Dress for safety:

- Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties
or jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.

- Wear nonslip footwear.

- 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

damage, Wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack-

age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact

resistant 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

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

3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the part of the work-

piece to be cut.

4. Plan your cut toavoid KICKBACKSand 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

guide the work. so it won't twist, bind on the
blade and kickback.

-Make sure there's no debris between the
workpiece and its supports.

- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the

blade:

- A piece of molding, for example, must lie
flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not

let it twist, rock or slip while being cut, Use

jigs. fixtures where needed to prevent work-

piece shifting.

- Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

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

-Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
blocks, etc.) for any workpieces large

enough to tip when not held down to the
table top. NEVER use another person as a

substitutefor a table extension, or as addi-
tional support for a workpiece that is longer

or wider then the basic saw table, orto help
feed. support or pull the workpiece.

- Never confine the piece being cut oft. That
is, the piece NOT against the fence, miter

gauge or fixture. Never hold it. clamp it,
touch it, or use length stops against it. tt

must be free to move. If confined, it could
get wedged against the blade and cause a

kickback or throwback.

- Never cut more than one workpiece at a

time.

- Never turn your table saw "ON" before
clearing everything except the workpiece

and related support devices off the table.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

- NEVER putt the workpiece through. Start and

finish the cut from the front of the table saw.

- NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade or other cutting tool.

- NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with
either hand to hold down or support the work-

piece, remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason.

- Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause fingers or hand to move into a saw blade or
other cutting tool.

- DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.

- Push the workpiece against the rotation of the

blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool

from the rear of the saw.

- Always push the workpiece all the way past the
sawblade.

- As much as possible, keep you r face and body to
one side of the sawblade, out of line with a

possible kickback or throwback.

- NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc.. except the
werkpiece and related feed or support devices
for the cut planned.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING
WARNING: DON'T LET FAMILIARITY (GAINED

FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR TABLE SAW)

CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A
SECOND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEVERE
INJURY.

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

unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immedi-

ately. 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.

4. KEEPCHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be

5. Let the blade reachfull speed before cutting.

6. DON T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bette
and,safer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece

into the blade only fast enough to let it cut While cutting
without bogging down or binding. -To avoid kickbacks and slips into the bade

c. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

d, Check blade, spreader and fence for proper

alignment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of small, cut off pieces:
a. Use the guard assembly.

b. To remove pieces trapped inside the guard:

1. Turn saw off.

2. Remove switch key.

3. Unplug saw.

4. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the
guard.

additional instructions for
RiP TYPE CUTS

- NEVER use the miter gauge when ripping.

- Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 to 6
inches from the blade. Use an auxiliary fence and

push block whenever the fence must be within 2

inches of the blade. (See "Basic Saw Operation
Using The Rip Fence" section.)

- Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

-When using a push stick or push block, the

trailing end of the _)oard must be square. A push
stick or block against an uneven end could slip

off or push the work away from the fence.

- A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the work-
piece. See BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING

THE RIP FENCE. Always use featherboards for
any non-thru rip type cuts.

Before Starting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade,
make surethe rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

- Check the antikickback pawls. (See BASIC SAW
OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.) The
pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Replace or sharpen antikickback pawls when

points become dul t.

- Plastic and composition (like hardboard) mater-
ials 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 careful in your set-up

and cutting procedures.

always push forward on the section of the work-

addiUonai instructions for
CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

- NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting.

- An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter

gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and
throwbacks. Attach it to the holes provided.

Make the facing long enough and big enough to
support your work, Make sure, however, it will
not interfere with the sawblade guard.

- Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too
small 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 hetps

keep your hands away from the blade.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR WOODWORKING

While cutting

- To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter
gauge as shown in the BASIC SAW OPERA-

TIONS - USING THE MITER GAUGE.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
