SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR TABLE SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your table saw works. Read this manual to understand this saw.

SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

DANGER: If the safety information is not followed,

someone WILL be seriously injured or killed

WARNING: If the safety information is not fol-

lowed, someone COULD be seriously injured or

killed.

CAUTION: If the safety information is notfollowed,

someone MAY be injured.

Read and follow all safety informationand instructions. 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 14-39)

2. Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch, guard, spreader, anti-kickback device, miter gauge,

table insert and blade elevation and bevel controls.

(See pages 39-42)

3. Review and understanding of all safety instructions

and operating procedures inthis manual. A. To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug

4. Review of the maintenance methods for this saw. (See page 61)

Read the following WARNING label found on the front of your saw.

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

does not rock. 2 adjusting wrenchesfrom tool before tuming iton.

C: Bolt the saw to the floor if it 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 bystanders 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 designed 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 injury, get help or use recommended caster accessories 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 withyour 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.

the saw, turn the switch off and remove the switch

key before raising or removing the Guard, chang- ingthe cutting too!, changing the setup or adjust-

ing 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 proper- ly.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 (whenever the blade comes through the top of the work-

Form habit of checking for and removing keys and

R [b avoidinjuryfrom jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1.)USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Follow the instructions that come with the acces-

sories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

2,)Choose the right blade or cutting accessories for

the material and the type of cutting you plan to do.

3.)Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.

4.)Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrap- nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for speed of 3450 rprn or higher.

Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to fit this saw's 5/8" arbor.

When thru-sawing, (making cuts where the

blade comes through the workpiece top)

always use a 10 inch diameter blade. This

keeps the spreader inclosest to the blade. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth.

Consult a professional blade sharpener when

in doubt. 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.

C. 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.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and

ears.

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 safety:

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or

jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caugllt and draw you into moving parts.

Wear nonshp footwear. Tie back long hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible qear- _ngdamage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the

eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggies (not gtasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only impaot resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are

available at Sears retail catalogue stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI

Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

SAFE

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 of the saw:

Never out 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 is no debris between the work-

piece and its supports. 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 lie flat or

be held by a fixture or jig that wil! not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs, fixtures

where needed to prevent workpiece shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

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

a. 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 additiona! 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 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.

Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.

4. Plan the way you wlll push the workplece

through.

NEVER pull the workplece through. Start and

finish _e clot from the front of the table saw.

NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of the sawt_ade or other cutting too!.

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

Additional Instructions for

RiP TYPE CUTS

NEVER use the Miter Gauge when npp_ng, 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 must be between 1/2 inch and 2 inches

from the blade, Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower _an 1/2 inch. (See "BASIC SAW OPERATION

USING THE RIP FENCE' section),

Never rip anything shorter than 10" tong,

When using a Push Stick or Push Block the trail-

_ngend 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 hetp guide the work- p_ece See BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING

THE RiP FENCE. Always use featherboards for any non4f_ru rip type cuts.

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from frequent use of your table saw) cause a care-

_ess mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a

severe injury.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cu11_ng tool turns toward the front of the saw.

3, Set the cutting tool as tow as possible for the cuz

you're planning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All ws_tors should be kept a safe distance from work. MaKe sure bystanders are c4ear of the saw and workp_ece

5. Let, #_e blade reach full sp_ before cutting, & DON'T FORCE TOOL. !t wilt do the job be_er and

safer at _ts designed rate. Feed the workp_ece rote the b{ade only fast enougr_ to let it cut without bog- g_ng down or binding.

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

BEFORE STARTING

-[b avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

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.

Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the antikick- back 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.

Addi_lona! Instructions for

CROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

Before starting

NEVER use the rip fence wt_en crosscutting. An atJxiliary wood facing attached to the miter

gauge can heip prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks. Attach t to the i_oles provided. Make the facing tong enough and big e,qo_gh to support

your work. Make sure however, it wii! not inter.. fore with the sawb_ade guard. (See "Using The
