WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW:

1. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT., Use the

saw in a dry place protected from r'ain..Keep work area well lighted,

2_To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

a Put the saw on a firm level surface where there

is plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece..

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

saw does not rock.

c. Bott the saw to the floor ifit tends to slip, walk,

or slide during normal use_

d_ When using table extensions over 24" wide on

any side of the saw, bolt the saw to the floor or

prop up the 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 a3-prong grounding type

plug, The plug fits grounding type outlets design-

wire to a live termina!

5 To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure

your fingers do not ,DUCt1the plug's metal prongs when plugging in or' unplugging the saw..

6. To avoid back injury, 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.

7. NEVER STAND ON TOOL Serious injury could occur if the tool tips 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:

1 Inspect your saw

a To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug

the saw, turn the switch off and remove the switch key before raising or removing the

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 any way, or arty 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 before turning it on.

f. To avoid injuryfrom jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSO* RIES° Follow the instructions that come with

the accessories Consult the owner's manual

for 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 518" 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 aprofessional bladesharp- 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 sawdust

b To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use

the saw near flammable liquids, 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 spinning. 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 toot 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, wrist watches). 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 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

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

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

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

- Never confine the piece being cut off 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. It must be free to move If confined, it could

get wedged against the blade and cause a kickback or throwback

- Nevercut morethan one workpieceat a time

-Never turn your tablesaw "ON" before clearingeverythingexcepttheworkpiece andrelatedsupportdevicesoffthetable.

Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.

-NEVER pull 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 asawblade or other cutting too!

- 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 your 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 workpiece and related feed or support devices for the cut planned

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre- quent use of your table saw) cause a careless mis- take. 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 tot, 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, KEEP CHILDREN AWAY All visitors should be

kept a safe distance from work. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece

5 Let the blade reach full speed before cutting

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. tt will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.. Feed the workpiece into the blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or binding

7. Before freeing any jammed material: a Turn switch "OFF"..

b Unplug the saw

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 board 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 BAStC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE. Always use featherboards for

any non-thru rip type cuts.

4-1/2""_ _-_

Before Starting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the rip fence is paratlel 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 dull.

- 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..

While cutting

-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always push forward on the section of the work- piece between the saw blade and the rip fence Never push forward on the piece being cut off

additional 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 sawbtade 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 helps keep your hands away from the blade.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR WOODWORKaNG
