TABLE SAW SAFETY

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE

GUARD, riving knife and anti-

kickback pawls assembly for every through–sawing operation. Through –sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or crosscutting. Always be sure blade guard is tightened securely.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE

FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push

block, especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this Operator’s Manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is included on page 56.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY

OPERATION FREEHAND, which means can using hands to support the workpiece, but always use either the fence OR the miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece.

WARNING

FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS. NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.

5. NEVER STAND or have any part of

your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the saw blade path.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw

9. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade against the direction of rotation of the blade.

10.NEVER use the rip fence as a

cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A

STALLED SAW BLADE without ﬁrst turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor damage.

12.PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT

to the rear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown

back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls assembly and guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release work before passing it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it along the fence.

Do not attempt to reverse out of a

cut with the blade running.

TABLE SAW SAFETY

SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY, ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY AND RIVING KNIFE

Your table saw is equipped with a blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife that covers the blade and reduces the possibility of accidental blade contact. The riving knife is a ﬂat plate that ﬁts into the cut made by the saw blade and effectively ﬁghts kickback by lessening the tendency of the blade to bind in the cut. The blade guard assembly and antikickback assembly can only be used when making through cuts that sever the wood. When making rabbets and other cuts that make non through cuts, the blade guard assembly and antikickback assembly must be removed and riving knife lowered to the non through cut position marked on the riving knife. Two anti-kickback pawls are located on the sides of the riving knife that allow the wood to pass through the blade in the cutting direction but reduce the possibility of the material being thrown backwards toward the operator. Use all components of the guarding system (blade guard assembly, riving knife and anti-kickback assembly) for every operation for which they can be used including all through cutting. If you elect not to use any of these components for a particular application exercise additional caution regarding control of the workpiece, the use of push sticks, the position of your hands relative to the blade, the use of safety

glasses, the means to avoid kickback and all other warnings contained in this manual and on the saw itself. Replace the guarding systems as soon as you return to thru-cutting operations. Keep the guard assembly in working order

KICKBACKS

KICKBACKS: Kickbacks can cause serious injury. A kickback occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence, or other ﬁxed object, and rises from the table and is thrown toward the operator. Kickbacks can be avoided by attention to the following conditions.

How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect Yourself from Possible Injury:

a. Be certain that the rip fence is

parallel to the saw blade.

b. Do not rip by applying the feed force

to the section of the workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece. Feed force when ripping should always be applied between the saw blade and the fence; use a push stick for narrow work, 6 in. (152 mm) wide or less.

c. Keep saw blade guard assembly,

riving knife and anti-kickback assembly in place and operating properly. If anti-kickback assembly is not operational, return your unit to the nearest authorized service center for repair. The riving knife must be in alignment with the saw blade and the anti-kickback pawls assembly must stop a kickback

10 11

Page 11

once it has started. Check their action before ripping by pushing the wood under the anti-kickback assembly. The teeth must prevent the wood from being pulled toward the front of the saw.

d. Plastic and composite (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.

e. Use saw blade guard assembly,

anti-kickback pawls assembly and riving knife for every operation for which it can be used, including all through-sawing.

f. Push the workpiece past the saw

blade prior to release.

g. Never rip a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along

the fence.

h. Never saw a large workpiece that

cannot be controlled.

i. Never use the fence as a guide or

length stop when crosscutting.

j. Never saw a workpiece with loose

knots, ﬂaws, nails or other foreign objects.

k. Never rip a workpiece shorter than

10 in. (254 mm).

l. NEVER use a dull blade – replace

or have resharpened.

m. NEVER use a rip fence and miter

gauge together.

n. Keep hands out of saw blade.

A MALFUNCTION

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the

equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualiﬁed electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.

USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than # 14 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord

is in good condition. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power,

To raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation handwheel (1) to the desired blade height, and then tighten the blade bevel lock knob (2) to maintain the desired blade angle.

Fig. TT

TILTING THE BLADE (FIG. TT)

Two methods are available for tilting the saw blade.

Rapid blade tilting:

Loosen the blade bevel lock knob (2), move the handwheel (1) to the desired angle, then tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

1. To turn the saw ON, insert the safety switch key (1) into the slot in the switch (2). Move the switch upward to the ON position. To turn the saw OFF, move the

2. switch downward.

3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end (or yellow part) of the safety switch key (1), and pull it out.

4. With the safety removal key removed, the switch will not operate.

5. If the safety removal key is removed while the saw is running, it can be turned OFF but cannot be restarted without inserting the safety switch key (1).

Fig. UU

Fine adjustment blade tilting:

Loosen the blade bevel lock knob (2), push in the handwheel (1) and at the same time turn the handwheel (1) to tilt the saw blade. When the saw blade is at the desired angle, tighten the blade bevel lock knob (2).

ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. UU)

he ON / OFF switch has a safety switch key. With the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. UU)

his saw has an overload reset

T button (3) that resets the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, turn the ON / OFF switch to the OFF position. Wait about ﬁve minutes for the motor to cool, then push the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position.

Page 42

WARNING

To avoid injury, the ON / OFF switch should be in the OFF position and the plug removed from the power source while the cool down takes place, to prevent accidental starting when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a dull blade or undersized extensing cord. Inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again.

USING THE TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. VV, WW)

If the table extension is not parallel with the table, remove the bolts (1) and position the extension leveling spacers (2) between the table extension and tube until it is parallel with the table, then tighten the bolts (1). NOTE: See page 15 for table of loose parts ITEM: R.

Fig. VV

1. Release the extension cam locking

levers (3).

Slide the extension (4) out until the correct measurement is displayed on the tube scale. The user sights the scale off the edge of the table.

3. Tighten all extension cam locking

levers (3).

Fig. WW

CUTTING OPERATIONS

There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. (It is not safe to rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.

NEVER USE A RIP FENCE AND MITER GAUGE TOGETHER.

WARNING

Before using the saw each time, check the following: 1

. The blade is tightened to the arbor.

2. The blade bevel lock knob is tightened.

3. If ripping, make sure the fence is locked into position and is parallel to the miter gauge groove.

4. The blade guard is in place and working properly.

5. Safety glasses are worn.

The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

42 43

Page 43

RIPPING (FIG. XX, YY)

WARNING

To prevent serious injury:

● Never use a miter gauge when ripping.

● Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut.

● Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury

● Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from the path of the blade.

● The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed when ripping.

1. Remove the miter gauge and store it in the “storage” compartment in the base of the saw.

2. Secure the rip fence to the table.

3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece.

4. Place the workpiece ﬂat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.

5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come to full speed.

6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will pass between the blade and the fence. (Fig. XX)

7. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), ﬁnish the cut with a push stick (3).

To make an additional push stick, use the pattern on page 56. (Fig. ZZ)

WARNING

AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward on the section of the workpiece that passes between the blade and the fence. Never perform any freehand operations.

Fig. XX

WARNING

When width or rip is narrower than 2 in., the push stick cannot be used because the blade guard will interfere. Use the auxiliary fence (5) and push block (6) as shown in Fig. YY.

Fig.

8. Continue pushing the workpiece (4) with the push stick (3) or push block (6 - Fig. YY) until it passes through the blade guard and clears the rear of the table. (Fig. XX)

Page 44

9. Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning. Turn the switch Off. When the blade completely stops, you can then remove the workpiece.

WARNING

Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur. When the blade completely stops, raise the anti-kickback pawls assembly (7) on each side of the riving knife and slide the workpiece out. (Fig. YY)

BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

To avoid injury from blade contact, never make cuts narrower than 3/4 in. wide.

1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.

2. When a small width is to be ripped, and your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use push stick or push block to pass the workpiece completely through and past the blade.

HELPFUL DEVICES

In order to make some cuts, it is necessary to use devices like a push block, featherboard or auxiliary fence, which you can make yourself. Here are some templates for your reference.

FEATHERBOARD (FIG. ZZ, aa)

featherboard is a device used to

A help control the workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or fence. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a friction hold on the workpiece and locked in place on the table with C-clamps. Test that it can resist kickback.

WARNING

Place the featherboard against the uncut portion of the workpiece to avoid kickback that could cause serious personal injury.

MAKE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. ZZ)

Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick, 4 in. wide and 18 in. long. To make a featherboard, cut one end of the lumber at 60 degrees, then cut 8 in. long slots 1/4 in. apart on the angled end as shown in Fig. ZZ.

CROSSCUTTING (FIG. dd)

WARNING

To prevent serious injury:

● Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury

● Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade.

● Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur

1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove on the table.

2. Adjust the blade height so that it

is 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece.

3. Hold the workpiece ﬁrmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to a 1 in. distance from the blade.

4. Start the saw and wait for the

blade to come up to full speed.

Never stand directly in line of the saw blade path, always stand to

the side of the blade that you are cutting on.

5. Keep the workpiece (1) against the face of the miter gauge (2) and ﬂat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade.

6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade has completely stopped.

WARNING

Always position the larger surface of the workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting to avoid instability

46 47

Page 47

Fig. dd

USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (FIG. ee)

Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach it to the miter gauge with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw blade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

WARNING

Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right side groove because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove.

Lower the blade to the down position.

2. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel

lock knob.

3. Tighten the miter gauge lock

handle (2) at 90°.

4. Hold workpiece (3) ﬁrmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.

Page 52

Fig. nn

NOTE: If excessive looseness is observed in any part of the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, take the complete unit to a Service Center.

LUBRICATION

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional lubrication. On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.

The carbon brushes included with the unit will last approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.

Remove the blade guard, blade,

1. rip fence, miter gauge and stand assembly from the table saw.

2. Lower the blade height to its minimum setting. This will make the brush locations easier to access.

3. Place cardboard or an old blanket on the ﬂoor to protect the saw table surface.

4. Place the saw upside down on the protective material.

5. Tilt the blade elevation/tilting handwheel (1) to the 45° position. (Fig. oo)

6. Remove the black plastic cap (2) from the side of the motor (3).
