• Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner's plenty of roomto handle and properly support the work-_

manual for recommended accessories. The use of piece (See "Assembly-Mounting Your Saw" section).

Support the saw so the table is level and the saw does not rock,

When using a table extension longer than 12" attached to any side of the saw, bolt the saw to a stationary sur-

face or prop up the outer end of the extension from the floor or bench top to keep the saw from tipping.

Put the saw where neither operator nor bystanders

must stand in line with the sawblade.

..... -.... w

Before Each Use

inspect your saw.

o To avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the switch

off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before raising or removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing the setup, or adjusting anything. Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.

Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov- ing parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any other conditions that may affect the way the saw

works. If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any

electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off and unplug the saw.

o Replace damaged or missing parts before using the

saw again,

- Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes

through the top of the workpiece). Make sure the anti-

kickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader is in line with sawblade (See "Assembly-Aligning Blade Guard" section).

• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of

checking for and removing keys and adjusting wrenches from table top before turning saw on.

• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts

have excessive play.

To Avoid injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)

Inspect Your Blade.

• Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do.

• Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

° Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels.

friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or

buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.

• Cut only wood. wood like or plastic materials. Do not cut metal.

• Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:

-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 5000 rpm or higher.

- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to

fit this saw's 5/8 inch 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 closest

to the blade.

- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to "snug" it securely.

- Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth. Con-

suit a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.

- Keep blades clean of gum and resin

- Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.

Inspect your work area.

• Keep work area clean.

• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

° To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

• To avoid injury, don't do layout assembly, or setup work on the table while blade is spinning. It could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.

Plan your work

• Use the right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to do

a job it was not designed for.

Inspect your workpiece.

• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

• 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 or fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece from shifting.

• Use a different, better suited type of tool for work that can't be made stable.

Plan your cut.

• To avoid kickbacks and throwbacks - when a part or all of the workpiece binds on the blade and is thrown vio-

lently 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 or bind on the blade and kick back.

- Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

Safety Instructions For Table

- Use extra supports (tables_ saw horses blocks, etc._ for any workpieces large enough to tip when not hold

down to the table top. Never use anolher person as a substitute for a table extension, or as additional sup.

port for a workpiece that Ls longer or wJder than the basic saw table, or to help feed. support or pull the

werkpiece.

"Never confine the piece being cut off. that is the piece

not against the rip fence, miter gauge or fixture Never

Saws (continued) ...................

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.

"Never turn your table saw "ON" before clearing every-

thing except the workpiece and related support devices off the table,

Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes,---aanes, Face

Dress for safety

* Do no! wear loose c othing, gloves, neckties or jewelry

(rings wrist watches). -[hey can get caught and draw

you into moving parts.

- Wear nonslip footwear

- Tie back Ion.g hair.

o Roll tong sleeves above the elbow

-Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using table

saw for hours at a time.

° Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the

eyes. ]"his can result in permanent eye damage. Wear

safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87 I (sl)own on package). Everyday eyeglasses have

only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety

glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail 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 safety goggles

and Ears

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 workpiece, support the workpiece. remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

• Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other cut-

ting tool.

• Don't overreach. Always keep good footing and balance_ ° Push the workpiece against the rotation el the blade.

never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the saw.

• Always push the workpiece all the way past the saw- blade.

• As much as possible, keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade, out of line with a possible kick-

back or throwback.

• Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you're

planning.

Avoid Accidental Starting.

° Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging saw into a

power outlet.

Whenever Sawblade is Spinning

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from Ire- ]

cluent use of your table saw) to cause a careless/ mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction /

of a second is enough to cause a severe injury, /

° Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it

runs for a short while, if it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a IoL stop immediately. Turn the saw off, Unplug the saw. Do nol restart until finding and cor-

recting the problem.

- Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns toward the front of the saw.

Keep Children Away,

- Keep all visitors a safe distance from the table saw. ° Make sure bystanders are clear of the table saw and

workpJece.

Don't Force Tool.

- Let the blade reach full speed before cuthng. ° It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

= Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let

the blade cut without bogging down or binding.

Before freeing jammed material.

° Turn switch "OFF",

o Wait for all mowng parts to stop. ° Unplug the saw.

- Check blade, spreader and fence for proper alignment before starting again,

To avoid throwback of cut off pieces.

• Use the guard assembly.

To remove Roose pieces beneath or trapped inside the guard,

,, Turn saw "OFF". ,, Remove switch key.

,, Wait for blade to stop before _ifting the guard.

Additional Safety _nstructions

Rip Type Cuts.

o Never use the miler gauge when ripping. ,, Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade.

o When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push

block whenever the fence must be between !/2 and 2 inches of the blade.

o Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See

"Basic Saw Operations_Ripping and Beret Ripping"

sections.) ,, 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 workpiece. (see

"Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for Thru.-

Sawing." section)

° Always use featherboards for any non thru rip type cuts.

(See "Basic Saw Operations - Using Featherboards for Non-Thru Sawing" section,

Before Starting.

,, To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

* Before thru-sawing, 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. (See "Maintaining Your Table Saw - Anti- Kickback Pawls" section o)

° 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 careful in your setup and cutting procedures.

While Thru-sawing,

° To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push forward on the piece being cut off.

Before Leaving The Saw.

• Turn the saw off. Wait for blade to stop spir_ning. Unplug the saw.

o Make workshop child@roof, t.ock the shop. Disconnect

master switches_ Remove the yeliow switch key Store it away from children and others not qualified to use

the tool.

Featherboard

See "Work Feed Devices" section for

Material and Dimensions

Crosscut Type Cuts.

* 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 slots provided. Make the facing long

enough and big enough to support your work Make sure, however, it will not interfere with the sawbiade

guard.

Before Starting.

. Use jigs or fixtures to help L_oidany piece too smali to

extend across the full length of the miter gauge face

during the cut. ]'his lets you properly hold the miter

gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away from the blade:

While Cutting

, To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter gauge

as shown in "Basic Saw Operations - Using The Miter Gauge'.

110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool information

NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use. Your local electrical code

may require slightly different power cord plug connec-

tions. If these differences exist refer to and make the

proper adjustments per your local code before your tool is plugged in and turned on.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped

with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding con-

ductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installedand grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will notfit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. A temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug to

a 2-prong outlet as shown if a properly grounded three prong outlet is not available. This temporary adapter

should be used only until a properly grounded three prong outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-

ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc- tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug isnecessary, do not connectthe equipment-ground-

ingconductor to a live terminal.

If the grounding instructions are not completely under- stood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is prop- erly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service

)ersonnei,

WARNING: ff not properly grounded, this tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly when used

in damp locations, in proximity to plumbing, or out of doors, if an electrical shock occurs there is the

potential of a secondary hazard, such as your hands contacting the sawblade.

Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (continued)

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to

prevent sawdust buildup which will interfere with normal motor ventilation.

1. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break- ers may result if:

a. Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you

feed too rapidly or if saw is misaligned.

b, Motor circuit is fused differently from recommenda-

tions - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/

breaker. Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.

c. Low voltage - Although the motor is designed for

operation on the voltage and frequency specified on

motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled

safely on voltage not more than 10% above o r below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however.

require that voltage at motor terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

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

(such as small size wire in the 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

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and

is in good condition.

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 shown 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-prong receptacles which

accept the tool's plug.
