Safety is acombination of common sense, staying alert and knowing 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.

4. GROUND THE SAW- This saw has an approved 3- conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug.

The plug fitsgrounding type outlets designed for 120 volt 15 amp circuits. The green conductor inthe cord isthe groundingwire. To avoid electrocution,NEVER

connect the green wire to a live terminal.

5. To avoid injuryfrom electrical shock, make sure your

fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when

plugging in or unplugging the saw.

1. Assembly and Alignment (See pages 13 - 34).

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 35)

3. Review and understanding of all safety instructions

and operating procedures inthis manual.

4. Review of the maintenance methods for this saw.

6. To avoid back injury, get help or use recommended casterswhen you need to movethe saw. Always get

help ifyouneed to il_ the saw. Holdthe saw closeto yourbody. Bend your knees soyoucan liftwithyour

legs, not your back.

7. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur ifthe tooltips or you accidentally hitthe cutting

tool. Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone mightstand on the toolto reach them.

Read theDANGER label found onthefrontofthe saw as BEFORE EACH USE: shown below.

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SAW

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

area well lighted.

E. REMOVEADJUSTING KEYSANDWRENCHES.

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 58). Follow the instructions

that come with the accessories. The use of improper accessories maycause riskof injury to

persons.

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 or buffing wheel. Theycan fly apart explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully. a. To avoidcuttingtoolfailure andthrown shrap-

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. Useonlysharpbladeswith properly setteeth.

Consult aprofessional blade sharpenerwhen in doubt,

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table lop. 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.

C. 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.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face,

ears.

3. Plan yourwork

A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or

attachment to do a job 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 muffs when

using saw for long periods of lime.

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 incom-

pliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

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 apart or all of the workpiece binds

on the blade and is thrown violently back toward the front of the saw.

1. Nevercut FREEHAND: Always use eithera rip fence, miter gauge or fixture to position ane 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 wilt not slip and pinch the

blade: a. A piece of molding, for example, must _ieflat

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.] for anyworkpieces large enough

to tip when not held down to the table top.

NEVER use another person as a substitute

for atable extension, oras additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than

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

b. Never confinethe piece being cutoff, that is,

thepieceNOTagainstthe Fence,MiterGauge or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or

use length stops against it. It mustbe freeto move. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwedged against

the blade and cause a kickback or throw- back.

c. Never cut morethan 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. Plan thewayyou will pushtheworkplecathrough. A. NEVER pull the workpiece through. Start and

finish thecut 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 ofthe cutUngtoolwitheither

hand to hold clown or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D. Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could

cause fingers or hand to move intoa 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 intothe cutting 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 sideofthe sawblade,out of linewith a possible kickback or throwback.

I. NEVERtumthe saw"ON"before cleadngthetable

of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work- piece and related feed or support devices for the

cut planned.

J. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure

switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless

mistake. Always remember that a careless frac- tion of a second is enough to cause a severe

injury.

1. Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it runsfor a short while. Ifit makes an unfamiliar noise

or vJ_oratesa lot,stop immediately. Turn the saw off.

Unplug thesaw. Do not restart until finding and fixing

the problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting toot tu ms 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. Ailvisitors shouldbe kept

asale distancefmmwork. Make surebystanders are clear ofthe 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 itsdesigned rate. Feed theworkpiece intothe

blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging

down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed material: A. -rum switch "OFF".

B. Unplug the saw.

C. Wait for allmovingparts to stop. D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for properalign-

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 switchkey.

3. Wait for blade to stop before liftingthe Guard.

additional instructions for

RiP TYPE CUTS

1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.

2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade. When thru=sawing, use an Auxiliary Fence and Push Block whenever the Fence

mustbe between 1/2 and 2 inchesofthe blade. Never thru-saw ripcutsnarrowerthan 1/2 inch. (See"BASIC

SAW OPERATION - USING THE RiP FENCE" sec- tion.)

3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

4. 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 offor push the

work away from the Fence.

5. A FEATHERSOARD can help guide the workpiece. See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RiP

FENCE." Always use Featherboards for any non

thru rip type cuts.

24"

KERFS ABOUT

5/16" APART

4-112 '''-'_--'_ 5'""

BEFORESTARllNG

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the Rip Fence isparallel to the sawblade.

2. Before thru-sawing, check the Anti-Kickback Pawls. (See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP

FENCE.") The Pawls must stop a kickback once it has started. Replace orsharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points become due

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 theworkpiece between

the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Never pushforward

on the piece being cut off.

3. Use jigsor fixtures to help hold any piece too sina!! to extend across the full lengthof the Miter Gauge face during the cut. This lets you propedy hold the Miter

Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away from the blade. (See page 37.)

WHgLE CUTTING

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - US- iNG THE MITER GAUGE."

BEFORE LEAVDNG THE SAW

1. Turn the saw off.

Wait for blade to stop spinning,

Makeworkshopchild-proof. Lock the shop. Discon- nect master switches. Remove the yellow Switch

Key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.

additional instructions for

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

BEFORE STARTING

1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crossc:£ting.

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting andthrowbacks.

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 withthe Sawblade

Guard.

Motor Thermal Overload Protector

breakers may result if:

IMPORTANT: To avoid motor damage, this motorshould be blown out orvacuumed frequently to prevent sawdust

buildupwhich will interfere with normal motor ventilation. Your saw is equipped with a manual-reset thermal over-

load protector designed to open the power line circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe level, motor is overloaded or a low voltage condition exists.

WARNING: Avoid thrown objects or blade con.

tact from unexpected starting, if the protector

stops the saw motor, immediately turn the saw switch "OFF", remove the key and allow motor

time to cool.

1. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the overload protector can be closed manually by push-

ing the red button on the end ofthe motor. If the red

button will not click into place immediately, the motor

is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while longer.

The time required for the motor to cool may be equal

to the length of time the saw was used before the thermal overload protector opened, to shut of! elec-

trical flow, An audible click will indicate the protector is closed.

2_ As soon as the red button willclick into running posi-

tion. the saw may be started and operated normally.

a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can

occur ifyou feed too rapidly or ifsaw is misaligned

b. MOTOR CIRCUIT IS FUSED DIFFERENTLY

FROM RECOMMENDATIONS - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/breaker, Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without con.

suiting a qualified electrician

c. LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed

for operation on the voltage and frequency speci- fied on motor nameplate, normal loads will be han-

died safety on voltage not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads. however, require that voltage at motor terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

4. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor- rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage

(such as small size wire inthe supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the con-

nections, the load and the supply circuit whenever motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes

and length with the Wire Size Chart below.

Wire Sizes

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-

heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.] extension cord. Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the toolsplug.

iMPORTANT: For circuits that are farther away from electrical service box. the wire size must be increased

proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the

saw motor.
