Safety is a o)fnbination of common sense, staying alert
and kno\Añng how your table saw works. Read this
manual to understand this saw.
BEFORE USING THE SAW
WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause
serious, permanent injury, do not plug the saw in
until the following steps have been satisfactorily
completed.
1. Assembly and Alignment (See pages 10 - 24).
2. Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF Switch,
Guard,Spreader, Anti-Kickbackdevice,MiterGauge,
Fence, Table Insert and Blade Elevation and Bevel
Controls. (See page 25)^ ^
3. Review and understanding of all safety instructions
and operating procedures in this manual.
4. Review of the maintenance methods for this saw,
(See page 43)
Read the followingDANGER label found on the front of
the saw; ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW
1. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Use the
saw in a dry place protected from rain. Keep work
areaweli 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 support
ing the workpiece.
B. Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
C. Bolt the saw to thefloor if it tends to slip walk, or
slide during normal use.
D. When using table extensions over 24 inches 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 nor bystanders
must stand in line with the saw blade.
......
4. GROUND THE SAW- This saw has an approved 3conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug.
The plug fits grounding type outlets designed for 120
volt 15ampcircuits. The green conductorin the cord
isthe grounding wire. Toavoid 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 injury, get help or use recommended
casters when you need to move the saw. Always get
help if you need to lift the saw. HoJd the saw close to
your body. Bend you r knees so you can lift with you r
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, tumthe 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 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 (wheneverthe
blade comes through the top of the workpiece).
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 injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces
(kickback and throwback):
1. USE ONLY "RECOMMENDED ACCESSO
RIES" (See page 43). Follow the instructions
that come withthe accessories. Using other ac
cessories may be dangerous.
2. Choose the right blade or cutting 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 orbuffingwheel. They can fly apart
explosively.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. Toavoidcuttingtoolfailureandthrownshrap-
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
designed 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 overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to “snug" it securely.
e. Useonlysharpbladeswithproperlysetteeth.
Consult a professional blade sharpener 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.
*. 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 otherfire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
C. To avoid injury, don’t do layout, assembly, or setup
wort< on the table while the blade is spinning. It
could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.
Plan ahead to protectyoureyes, hands, face, ears.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is “OFF” before plugging saw in.
I. Plan ytnir work
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a jdb 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 nonslip footwear.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
5. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or mutts when
using saw for long periods of time.
6. 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 com
pliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt
you when they break.

'‘ bitterthan
NO SIGHT
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 oi the saw.
1. 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.
2. Make sure there’s no debris between the work
piece and its supports.
3. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade:
a. A piece of molding, for example, must lie flat
or be held by a fixture or jig that wil! 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.
Page 4
4. Use extra caution with large, very small or
awkward workpieces :
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
biocks.etc.jforany workpieces large enough
loHJ when not held down to the table top.
HEVER use another person as a substitute
tor stable extenston* or as additiohal support
for a workpiece that is longer or wider than
the basic saw table, or to help feed. support
or pull the workpiece.
b. Neverconfinethepiecebeingcutoff. Thatis,
the piece NOTagainstthe fence, mitergauge
or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or
use length stops against it. It must be free to
move. If confined, itcouldgetwedged against
the blade and cause a kickback or throw
back.
c. Never cut rrjore than one workpiece at atime.
d. Never turn your table saw “ON” before clear
ing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
4, PlanthewayyouwlHpushfheworkpiecethrough.
A. NEVER puil the workpiece through. Start and
finish the cut from the front of the table saw.
B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
C. NEVER reach inback of the cutting tool with 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 couW
cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or
other cutting tool.
E. DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.
F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool
from the rearof the saw.
G. Always push the workpiece all the way past the
sawblade. ■' , . . ■ : ' ' ■■
H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to
ohe side of the sawblade, out of line with a possible
kickback or throwback.
i. NEVERtumthesaw“ON”beforeclearingthetable
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work
piece and related feed or support devices for the
eutpianned.
WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING
WARNING: Don't Set familiarity (gained from fre
quent use of your table saw) cause a careless mislake. 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 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.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors Should be kept
asafedistancefromwork. 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
saferat its designed rate. Feed the workpiece intothe
blade only fast enough to let if cut without bogging
down or binding.
7. Before freeing any jammed material:
A. Turn switch “OFF”.
B. Unplug the saw.
C. Wait for alt moving parts to stop.
D. Checkblade, Spreaderand Fenceforproper align
ment before starting, again.
8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;
A, Use the Guard assembly.
B, To remove foose pieces beneath ortrapped inside
the guard:
t . Turn saw "OFF".
2. Remove switch key.
3. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the Guard.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RiPTYPE CUTS
1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.
2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more
Inches Irom the blade. When thru sawing, use an
Auxiliary Fence and Push Block wheneverthe Fence
mustbebetweenl/2and2 inchesoflheblade. Never
thru saw rip cuts less than 1/2 inch wide. (See “BASIC
SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE” sectton.)
3. Never rp anything shorter than 10" iong.
4. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailing
errcl of the board must be square. A Push Stick or
Block against an uneven endcouldslipofforpushthe
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
Thai rip type cuts.
KERFS ABOUT
5/16" APART
4-1/2"
Page 5
BEFORE STARTING
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.
2. Check the anti-kickback pawls. {See "BASIC SAW
OPERATION - USING THE Rip FENCE.") The
Pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Replace or sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points
become dull.
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. Neverpushforward
on the piece being cut off.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CROSSCUT TYPE CUTS
BEFORE STARTING
1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.
2. 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. (See page 26)
3. 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 heips keep your hands
away from the blade.
WHILE CUTTING
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - US
ING THE MITER GAUGE."
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
1. Turn the saw off.
2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.
3. Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Discon
nect master switches. Remove the yellow Switch
Key. Store it away from children and others rtot
qualified to use the tool.
4. Unplug the saw.

safety instructions for basic saw operations
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. Inspect your saw.
A. To avoid injury from accidental starlir^, unplug the
saw, turnthe 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, mourrting, and
any other conditions that may affect the way it
works. If any part is missing, bent, orbroken in any
way, or any electrical parts don’t work properly,
turn the saw off and unplug the saw.
C. Replace damaged, missing, ortaiied parts before
using thé saw again.
D. Use the Sawblade Guard, Spreader, and Anti
Kickback Pawls for any thru-sawing (wheneverthe
blade comes through the top of the workpiece).
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 injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces
(Wckback and throwback):
1. USEONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
(See page 44). Folbw the instructions that
come with the accessories. Using other accèssortes may be dangerous.
2. Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for
the material and the type of cutting you plan to
, do.',. , ■ ■ . " • ■ , ' ■■ . . - ■
3. Never use grindir>g wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buffi ng wheel. They can fly apart
exploavely.
4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoidcutting toolf ailure andthrown shrap-
nef (broken pieces of bfade), 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 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 overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrenches to “snug" it securely,
e. Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth.
Consuft aptofessionai blade sharpener when
in doubt.
f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.
28
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 orotherfire damage, neveruse the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
C. To avoid injury from accidental blade contact, 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.
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands,face, ears.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is “OFF" before plugging saw in.
3. Plan your work
A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don’t force tool or attach
ment to do a job it was not designed for.
B. Dress for safely;
1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wristwafches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
2. Wear rranslip footwear.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
5. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when
using saw for long periods of time.
6. 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 com
pliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt
you when they break.
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.

on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.
1. 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 Idc^back.
2. Make sure there’s no debris between the work
piece and its supports.
3. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade:
a. 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 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:
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
blocks, etc.) forany woritpieces large enough
to tip when not held down to the table top.
NEVER another person as a substitute
for a Table Extension, or as additional sup
port for a workpiece that is longer or wider
than the basic saw table, or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece.
b. Neverconfinethepiecebeingcutoff. 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 throw
back.
c. Nevercutmorethanone workpiece at atime.
d. Never turn yourtable saw “ON" before clear
ing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
4. Plan the way you will [Hish the workpiece through.
A. NEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and
finish the cut from the front of the table saw.
B. N EVER put your fingers or hands In the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
C. NEVER reach In back of the cutting tool with either
hand to hold-down or support the workpiece,
remove wckxl scraps, or for any other reason.
D. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to
move into a sawblade or other cutting tool.
E. DONT OVERREACH. Always keep good footing
and balance.
F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the
blade. NEVER feed material into the culling 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 of Ihe sawblade, out of line with a possible
kickback or throwback.
I. NEVERturnthesaw“ON’’beforeclearingthetable
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work
piece and related feed or support devices tor the
cut planned.
WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPINNING
WARNING: Don’t let familiarity (gained from fre
quent use of yourtable 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 lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw oft.
Unpiugthe 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. It will do the job better and
safer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece into the
blade only last 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 lor all moving parts to stop.
D. Checkblade, Spreaderand Fenceforproperalign-
ment before starting, again.
8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;
A. Use the Guard Assembly.
B, To remove loose pieces beneath ortrapped inside
the Guard:
1. Turn saw "OFF".
2. Remove Switch Key,
3. Wait for biade to stop before lifting the Guard.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS
Before Starting;
1. Never use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.
WORK HELPERS
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
“Basic Saw Operations."
Notice that in order to make some of thè cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices, "Work Helpers”, like
the Push Sttek, the Push Block and the Auxiliary Fence/
Work Suf^rt, which you can make yourself.
After you have made a few practice aits, make upthese
"helpers” before starting any projects. Make the "Push
Stick" first
2. An auxiliary woodfacing attached to the MiterGauge
can help prevent workpiece twisting and t h rowbacks.
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.
3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece loo small
to extend across the fuli 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.
While Cutting:
1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS -
USING THE MITER GAUGE."

The small piece of wood 3/3 x 3/8 x 1-1/2 inches should
be GLUED to the plywood. DO NOT USE NAILS. This
is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you
mistakenly cut into the Push Block.
Position the handle in the center of the plywood and
fasten together with glue and woodscrews.

Panel Work Support only when cutting large panels that
require the Rip Fence to be positioned past the exposed
side of the extension.
CROSSCUTTING
Crosscut» A cutting or shaping operation made across
the width of the workpiece.
The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracy
for average woodworking. In some cases where ex
treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an
accurate square, or protractor.
If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled
slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space between the Miter Gauge Bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimumduring manufac
turing.
For maximum accuracy when using the Miter Gauge,
always “favor one side of the groove in the table. In
other words, don’t move the Miter Gauge from side to
side while cutting, but keep one side of the bar riding
against one side of the groove.
NOTE: GlueapieceofsandpapertothefaceoftheMiter
Gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
“creeping” while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp {optional accessory) should be
used on the Miter Gauge tor greater accuracy.
The Miter Gauge may be usedin either of the grooves in

WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback,
hold the Miter Gauge properly.
When using the Miter Gauge in the LEFT hand groove,
hold the workpiece firmly against the Miter Gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your
right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the work
piece with your right hand and the Lock Handle with your
left hand.
When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Panel/
Work Support and position it on top of the Guide Bars to
support the workpiece as near to the end as possible, if
this does not adequately support the workpiece, you can
make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse. (See illustration above)
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

4. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 Inches,
clamp a block of wood 2 inches long to the table to act
as a length stop. Do not clamp directly to the tbttom
edge of the table because the "swivel* of the clamp
will not grip properly . Place a small block of wood
between the bottom edge of the table and the "C”
clamp.
CAUTION; When clamping the block, make sure
that the end of the block is well In front of the
sawblade. Eie sure It is clamped securely.
5. Slide the workpiece along the Miter Gauge until it
touches the block, hold It securely orclahnp it with the
HoId-DoWn Clamp (optional accessory).
6. Make the cut, pull the workpiece bade, turn the saw

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle, other than
90“ with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the
blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT
because the Blade Guard will interfere. Hold the work
piece with your right hand and the Lock Handle with your
left hand.
Use the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support for additional
support of the workpiece.
Lay it across the Guide Bans to support the workpiece as
near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of
miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at
an angle other than 90“ to both the edge and the flat side
of the wood.
Adjust the Miter Gauge and the blade to the desired
angle. Make sure Miter Gauge is locked.

Before starting:
1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sav^lade.
2 Check the Anti-Kickback Pawls. The Pawls must
stop a kickback once it has started. Replace or
sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points become
dull
3. Plastic and composition (iike hardboard) materiais
may be cut on your saw. However, since these are
usually quite hard and siippery, the Anti-Kid<back
Pawls may not stop a kickb^A. Therefore, be espe-
ciaily careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.
While cutting:
1. To avokf kickbacks and slips Into the biade, aiways

USING FEATtiERBOARDS FOR THRU
SAWING
Featherboards are NOT empfoyed for thru-sawing
operations when using the Miter Gauge.
Featherbaords are used to keep the work in contact with
the Fence and table as shown, and to help stop kick
backs.
AcftI 7-1/2 inches highHat facing board to the Fence, the

BEVEL RIPPING
When bevel ripping materiai 6 inches or narrower, use
Fence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This will
provide morespace betweenthe Fence andthe sawblade
for use of a Push Stick. If the Fence is mounted to the
left, the Sawblade Guard may interfere with proper use
of a Push Stick.
Keep your hands out of the blade path. Feed the
workpiece by pushing forward only on the part of the
workpiece that will pass between the blade and fence.
Stop your thumbs at the front edge of the table.
Finish the cut with the appropriate pusher.
When thru-sawing a rip 1/2 inch to 2 inches wide, the
Push Stick CANNOT be used because the Guard will
interfere. USE the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support and
Push Block.
Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work Support to Rip Fence with
two “C” clamps.
35
Page 36
basic saw operation
Feed the wort<piece by hand along the Auxiliary Fence
until the end is approximately 1 irxh past the front edge
of the table. Continue to feed using the Push Biock.
Hold the workpiece in position and instail the Push Block
by sliding it on top of the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support
(this may raise Guard).
WARNING: To avoid blade contact, never thru-saw
a rip less than 1/2 Inch wide.
Narrow strips thicker than the Auxiliary Fence/Wotk
Su|:^rt may enter the Guard and strike the Baffle.
CAREFULLY raise Guard only enough to clear the
workpiet». Use Push Block to complete cut.
RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of woodthrough
its thickness. Do not attempt to resaw SOWED or
WARPED material.
NOTE; To RESAW a piece of wood wider than 3^3/8
inches, it will be necessary to remove the blade guard
andusethe Auxiliary Fence/Work Support. (See“WORK
HELPERS").
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE
EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without
BINDING between the two Fences.
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the “swiver of the clamp will not grip properly.
Place a small block of wood between the bottom edge of
thetadble andthe “C" clamp.
WARNING: Foryeur own safety
1. Do not "Back up” (reverse feeding) while resaw
BAFFLE
ing because this could cause a kickback.
2. Make the first pass to a depth slightly more than
1/2 the width of the board. Keep the same face of
the board against the fence for the second pass.
3. Install Blade Guard immediately upon comple
tion of the resawing operation.
36
Page 37
CUTTING PANELS
When cutting panels (whenever fence is positioned
outside of table surface), ALWAYS use the Auxiliary
Fence/Work Support.
1. Unlock Fence and raise rear end.
2. Position Auxiliary Fence/Work Support as shown and
attach it with two “C" clamps.
RABBETING
RABBETING is known as cutting out a section of the
corner of a piece of material, across an end or along an
edge.
To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go ail the
way through the material. Therefore, the Blade Guard
must be removed,
1. Remove Blade Guard.
2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work
piece) as shown, add facing to Rip Fence approxi
mately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust Rip
Fence and blade to required dimensions; then make
first cut with board flat on table as any r1p(type) cut;
make second cut with workpiece on edge. Follow all
precautions, safety instructions, and operational in
structions as for ripping, or rip type operations, includ
ing Featherboards and Push Stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2
inches and narrower, make the rabbet cut with the
board flat on the table. Using the Miter Gauge fitted
with a Facing, follow the same procedures and in
structions for cross cutting making successive cuts
across the width of the workpiece to obtain the de
sired width of cut. DO NOT use the Rip Fence for
rabbeting across the end.
4. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the
workpiece over the cutter using the Dado Head or
Molding Head.
