ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR TABLE SAWS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS ... AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING.

1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER

TOOLS... SEE PAGE 2

2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW... SEE PAGE 20

3. BASIC SAW OPERATION... SEE PAGE 23

4. ADJUSTMENTS... SEE PAGE 29

5. MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 32

6, STABILITY OF SAW

If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move

during certain cutting operations such as cutting
extremely large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the
saw should be bolted down.

If you attach any kind of table extensions over 24 in.
wide, make sure they are supported underneath by
sturdy 0race attached to saw base or bench.

7. LOCATION

The saw should be oositioned so neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the

saw blade.

8. KICKBACKS

Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "Kickback"
occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the

sawblade and the rip fence or other fixed object, rises

from the table, and is thrown toward the operator.
Keep your face and body ;o one side of the sawblade,
out of line with a possible "Kickback.'"

Kickbacks - and possible injury from them - can

usually be avoided by:

A. Maintaining the rip fence oarallel to the sawblade.
B. Keeong the sawblade sharp. Replacing

anti-kickback oawls when points become dull.

C. KeeDing_ sawblade guard, spreader, and

anti-kickback pawls in place and o 0erating properly.
The spreader must be in alignment with the

sawblade anG the oawls must stop a <ickback once
it has started. Check their action before ripping.

D. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or does

not have a straight eage to guide along the rip fence.

E. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all the

way oast the sawblade.

F. Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2 to 6 in.,

and an auxiliary fence and push block for ripping
widths na-rower tnan 2 in. (See "Basic Saw

Operation Using The RiD Fence" section.)

G. NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or

cross-cutting.

H. When ripping apply the feed force to the section of

the workpiece between the saw blade and the rip

fence.

9. PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS, BODY

A. If any part of your saw is malfunctioning, has been

damaged or broken.., such as the motor switch, or

other operat]n 9 control, a safety device or the

power cord ... cease operating immediately until
the particular Dart is properly repaired or replaced.

B. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANS

Z87.1-1968, and a face shield if operation isdusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.

C. Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that

contact the rear of the revolving blade can be

thrown back at the operator at excessive speed. This

can usually be avoided by keeping the guard and

spreader in 01ace for all thru-sawing operations

(sewing entirely thru the workJ AND by removing

all loose pieces from the table with a long stick of
wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.

D. Use extra caution when the guard assembly is

removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting, or
molding - replace the guard as soon as that

operation is completed.

E. NEVER turn the saw "ON" _)efore clearing the

table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the
workpiece and related feed or support devices for
the operation planned.

F. NEVER place your face or body in line with the

cutting tool.

G. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade or other cutting tool.

H. NEVER reach in oack of the cutting tool with

either hand to hold down or support the workplece,

remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid
awkward operations and hand positions where a

sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move
into a sawblade or other cutting tool.

I. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work

on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

J. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND"

always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to
position and guide the work.

K. NEVER Use the rip fence when crosscutting or the

miter guage when ripping. DO NOT use the rip
fence as a length stop.

Never hold ent0or touch the free end'" of the
workpiece or a "free piece'" that is cut off while

power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating.

L. Shtit "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord

when ,removing the table insert, changin£ the
cutting toot, removing or replacing the blade guard,
or making adjustments.

M. Provide adeauate support to the rear and sides of

the saw table for wider or tong workpieces,

N. 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 especially attentive to following

proper set-up and cutting procedures for ripping.
Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line

with a potential kickback.

O. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece,

turn saw "OFF", remove the workDiece from the
sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade s

parallel to the table slots or grooves ana if the
spreader is n proper alignment with the sawblade.
If ripping at the time, check to see if the rid fence is
parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.

10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpeneu or _et cutting

tools can cause materia to stick, jam, stall the saw,
or kickback at the onerator.

Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool
and machine maintenance.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED

SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE

SAW OFF.

B. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels,

friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or
buffing wheels.

11. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS
SAW,

12. Cross-cutting operations are more conveniently worked

and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is
attached to the miter gauge usingthe holes provided,

13. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in norm_ operating
position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars

and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting
tool as low as possible for the operation being

performed. Keep all guards in place whenever _ossible.

14. Do not useany blade or other cutting tool marked for

an operating speed lessthan 3450 RPM. Never use a
cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for
which the saw was designed. For greatest safety and

efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter
blade for whicl_ the saw is designed, since under these

conditions the spreader isnearest the blade.

15. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER
operate the saw unlessthe proper insert is installed.

16. THINK SAFETY.

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

17. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If you mount the saw on any other bench, make sure that
there is an opening in the top of the bench the same size as
the opening in the bottom of the saw so that the sawdust

can drop through. Recommended working height is 33 to
37 inches from the top of the saw table to the floor.

ATTACHING TABLE EXTENSIONS
If you received Table Extensions with your saw (two

furnished with Model No. 113.299040 or one furnished

with Model No. 113.298470) attach them at this time.

If you have only one Table Extension, it may be attached

to either side.
NOTE: When the Table Extension is attached to the left

side, it offers more support to the workpiece, especially
when crosscutting or mitering long boards. When attached
to the right side, it offers more support when cutting wide

panels.

If you attach the Extension to the left side, be sure to

construct the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support and Push

ALIGNING RIP FENCE

The fence should slide easily along the bars and always

remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade and miter gauge

grooves).
The alignment is ,maintained by a spring underneath the

fence which bears against the front guide bar.
To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the

fence with one hand at the front,

For very close adjustments, grasp the guide bar wi;_h both

hands and move the fence with your thumbs.

Place fence on saw but DO NOT LOCK IT.

Move the REAR END of the fence slightly to the right or

left ... when you release it, the fence should "spring"
back to its original position.

If it does not, the spring pressure must be INCREASED.

1. Loosen the screws.

2. Move Spring slightly toward front of fence.

12

If the fence does not slide easily along the bars, the pressure
of the spring can be REDUCED.

1. Loosen the screws.

2. Move spring slightly toward rear of fence ... tighten

screws.

BASIC SAW OPERATION

USING THE MITER GAUGE

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING,
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING and when RABBETING

across the end of a narrow workpiece, THE MITER
GAUGE IS USED.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON

PAGES 2, 3, and 4.

1. Never make these cuts freehand (without using the
miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the

blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or
cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.

2. Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use,

3. Remove rrp fence from table.

4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all "thru-sawing"
operations (when sawblade cuts entirely thru the

thickness of the workpiece.) Replace guard

IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing, molding

or rabbeting cuts.

5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase

the hazard potential.

6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a
THROWBACK (Small cut-off piece caught by the back
of the blade and thrown toward the operator), Stand to

either side of the blade.

7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path

of the blade.

& If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH

OFF before attempting to free the blade,

9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut ... to support long or

heavy workpieces ... to remove cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with along stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back

at you by the rear of the blade.

1I. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may

become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw
is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR
HANDS or cause a KICKBACK.

Turn the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped turning,

lift the guard and remove the piece.

WORK HELPERS

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the

"Basic Saw Operations".
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is

necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like the

Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxiliary Fence/Work

Support, which you can make yourself.

After you have made a few practice cuts, make up these

"helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "'Push
Stick" first. To rip the piece for the push stick, start out
with a wide board, say 11-1/2 in. wide and set the rip fence

_3/4 in. from the blade.

The small piece of wood 3/8 in. x 3/8 in, x 2-1/2 in. should

be GLUED to the plywood .., DO NOT USE NAILS. This
ts to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you

mistakingly cut into the push block.

CROSSCUTTING

CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across
the grain, at go °, or square with both the edge and the flat
side of the wood. This is done with miter gauge set at_"O ".

The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking. In some cases where extreme

accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example,

make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurat_
square, or protractor.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly

to compensate for any macurraey.

NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the

groove in the table is held to a minimum during

manufacturing.

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: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter

gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from

"creeping" while it is being cut.

The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessqry) should be

used on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

SAND

The miter gauge may be used in either of the groovesin the
table. Make sure it is locked.

When using the miter gaugein 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 workplece
with your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left

hand.

When cutting long workpieces, invert AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and position it on top of the
guide bars 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.

REPETITIVE CUTTING

REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of
_ieces the same length without having to mark each piece.

1. Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting

duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.

2, DO NOT FEED workpJeee with RIGHT Hand, merely

guide it, making sure that it does not bind or pinch the

sawblade.

When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make
sure it is supported.

Use the AUXILIARY FENCE / WORK SUPPORT for
additional support of the workpiece.

Lay it acrossthe guide bars to support the workpiece

asnear to the end aspossible.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the

miter gaugefor greater accuracy.

1. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP
BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD BIND
BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE CAUSING

A KICKBACK.

2_ When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in., clamp a

block of wood 3 in. long to the table to act asa length

stop.

CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure that

the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be
sure it is clamped securely.

3. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it
touches the block ... hold it securely or clamp it with
the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory).

4. Make the cut ... pull the workpiece back ... push the

cut off piece off the table with a Fong push stick ...
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD

ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.

MITER CUTTING

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than g0° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same

procedure asyou would for crosscutting•
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.

The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table.

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 workpiece

with your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left

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 workpiece with

your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left hand.

Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for

additional support of the workpiece,

Lay it acrossthe guide bars 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

USING THE RIP FENCE

RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWING AND
RABBETING are performed usingthe RIP FENCE together

with the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, PUSH
STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON

PAGES 2, 3, and 4.

Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the

rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because
the blade could bind in the cut and cause a

KICKBACK.

2.

Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.

3.

Remove miter gauge from table.

4.

Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-sawing
type cuts. Replace the guard IMMEDIATELY following
completion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding

operations.

Frequently check the action of the ANTI-KICKBACK

PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the
spreader while saw isOFF.

Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS do

RIPPING

RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood with the

grain, or lengthwise. This isdone using the rip fence.
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and lock
in place.

Before starting to rip, be sure

A. Rip Fence isparallel to sawblade.

B. Spreader isproperly aligned with sawblade.
C. Anti-Kickback pawls are functioning properly.

When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS, always
usea work support.

A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse.

BEVEL RIPPING

When bevel ripping material 6 in. or narrower, usefence on
the right side of the blade ONLY. This will provide more

space between the fence and the sawblade for useof a push
stick. If the fence is mounted to the left, the sawblade
guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.

not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it ... the pawls

............... See "Maintenance" section.

5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase

the hazard potential.

6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in caseof a

KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the blade.

7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.

8. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting. TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.

9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut ... to support long or

heavy workpieces .... to remove small cut-off piecesof

material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

I0. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the

table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.

11. Do not remove small piecesof cut-off material that may

become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw
is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR

HANDS or causea KICKBACK,

Turn the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped turning,

lift the guard and remove the piece.

ALWAYS SUPPORTLONG WORKPIECES

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6 in. and WIDER use your
RIGHT Hand to feed the workpiece until it is clear of the

table.
Use LEFT hand ONLY to guide the workpiece ... do not

FEED the workpiece with the left hand.

26

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2 in. to 6 in. wide USE THE
PUSH STICK to feed the work.

When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than 2 in., the push
stick CANNOT be used because the guard wilt interfere ...

USE the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and
PUSH BLOCK.

Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "'C'" clamps.

Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is approx. 1 in.

from the front edge of the table. Continue to feed usingthe
PUSH BLOCK.

BAFFLE

When ripping narrow strips that may enter the guard and

strike the baffle. CAREFULLY raise guard only enough to
clear the workpiece. Use Push Block to cornplete cut.

27

RESAWING

RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of wood through
its thickness. NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider

than 3-3/8 in.... it will be necessary to remove the blade

guard ... and use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT. [See "Work Helpers").
Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or WARPED material

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 "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly.
Place a small block or wood between the bottom edge of

the table and the "'C" clamp.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ...

1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE

R ESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A

KICKBACK.

2. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON

COMPLETION OF THE RESAWING OPERATION.

AU× LIARY FENCE/

CUTTING PANELS

When cutting panels (whenever fence is positioned outside
of table surface), ALWAYS use the AUXILIARY

FENCE/WO RK SUPPORT. ._

1. Unlock fence and raise rear end.

2. Position AUXILIARY FENCE as shown and attach it
with two "'C'" clamps.

RABBETING

Rabbeting is known ascutting out a section of the corner

of a piece of material.
To make a RABBET requires two cuts which do not go all

the way through the material, Therefore the blade guard
must be removed.

1. Remove blade guard.

2. Adjust rip fence and blade to required dimensions.

3. Make first cut through edge. Follow resawing

procedure.

4. Remove auxiliary fence and make second cut.

5. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION.

Rabbet cuts can also be made using the dado head or
molding head.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE

OUTLET BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

MITER GAUGE

NOTE: The holes for the stop ;)in and the graduations are

manufactured to very close tolerances which provide
accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly

to compensate for any inaccuracy.

1. Loosen the "handle" and pull "'stop pin" OUT.

2. Swivel the head ... position it at "'0" . . push the
stop pin IN ... lock the handle.

3. The HEAD should be square with the Bar and the
pointer should point to "0". Readjust the pointer if
necessary.

4. If the head is not square with the bar, adjustments are

required.
A. Loosen the "handle" (1] and the "two screws" (2)

B. Position the HEAD square with the BAR using a

combination square.

C. PUSH the STOP PIN into the hole in the head at

"0" ... push the pin into the hole and twist it.

Lock the handle.

D. Recheck with the square. If the head is still not

square, loosen the screws (2) and readjust the

INDICATOR BLOCK.

E. With the head square with the bar and the pin

pushed into the hole, adjust the pointer (3) to point

to "0".

F. The miter gauge head must rest on top of the bar

without being able to move up and down ... yet it

must swivel freely.

HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM

OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line

PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE ... therefore both the
miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be

PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE.
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gaugegroove,

the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (This is known as

"HEELING").

To check for parallelism;
WARNING - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH

"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET.

1. Raise blade all the way up... raise blade guard.

2. Mark as "x'" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent) to
the LEFT.

3. Place the head of a combination square in the
GROOVE ... adjust blade of square so that it just

touches the tip of of the MARKED tooth.

4. Move squareto REAR, rotate blade to see if MARKED -_

tooth again touches blade of square. _-_

5. If tooth touches square the same amount at FRONT
and REAR ,.. sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER

GAUGE GROOVE.

MARK "X" ON TOOTH

If tooth does not touch the same amount ... the

mechanism underneath must be adjusted to make the

blade PARALLEL to GROOVE. FRONT TRUNNION
A. Rear trunnion must be moved TOWARD the

combination square if there =s a space between

marked tooth and end of square in step 4,

B. Rear trunnion must be moved AWAY from the

square if marked tooth pushes square out of

position in the groove.

7. Loosen all three screws that hold the rear trunnion and
all three screws that hold the front trunnion.

NOTE: All six screws can be reached through back of saw.
Use a 9/16-in, wrench. To reach left-hand front trunnion

screw, tilt blade to 45 °. After loosening screws reposition

blade at 90° .
