KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. 16.
DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. 17.
.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from the work area.
MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or the
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The table on page 5 shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

SPECiFiC SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR THE TABLE SAW
.
ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD spreader and
anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which
they can be used, including through-sawing.
Through-sawing operations are those in which the
blade cuts completely through the workpiece
when ripping or cross cutting.
2. ALWAYS HOLDTHE WORK FIRMLY against the
miter gauge or rip fence.
,
USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a
push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping
applications in the instruction manual where the
push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick
pattern included in this Owner's Manual.
. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION
"FREE HAND", which means using your hands
only to support or guide the work piece. Always
use either the fence or the miter gauge to position
and guide the work.
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 line of the saw blade.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool
for any reason.
7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross-cutting.
8. DO NOT USE molding head set with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the
direction of rotation only.
10. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge when
cross-cutting.

BLADE without first turning the saw OFE Turn
off power switch immediately to prevent motor
damage.
12.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and
sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
13.
AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards
you) by keeping the blade sharp, keeping the rip
fence parallel to the saw blade, and by keeping the
spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and guard in place
and operating. Do not release work before it is
pushed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip
work that is twisted, warped, or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the cutting tool.
15.
NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.
Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise
damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should
be used to clean plastic parts.
16. MOUNT your table saw before performing any
cutting operations. Refer to installation instructions.
17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make
hazardous dust.
ALWAYS USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
18.

cause motor damage.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
INTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
ungrounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded receptacle can
be installed by a qualified technician. The adapter
(FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
RAISING THE BLADE (FIG. X)
To raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation
handwheel (1) to the desired blade height, and
then tighten lock handle (2) to maintain the desired
blade angle.
Fig. X
TILTING THE BLADE
Two methods are available for tilting the saw blade.
Rapid blade tilting
Loosen blade lock handle (2), move the hand wheel (1)
to the desired angle and tighten lock handle.
Fine adjustment blade tilting
Loosen blade lock handle (2), push in hand wheel (1)
and at the same time turn the hand wheel (1) to tilt the
saw blade. When the saw blade is at the desired angle,
tighten lock handle (2).
ON / OFF SWITCH (FIG. Y)
The ON / OFF switch has a removable key.With the key
removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous
use by children and others is minimized.
1. To turn the saw ON, insert key (1) into the slot in the
switch (2). Move the switch upward to the ON position.
2. To turn the saw OFF, move the switch downward.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end
(or yellow part) of the switch toggle (1), and pull it out.
4. With the switch key removed_the switch will not operate.
5. If the switch key is removed while the saw is running,
it can be turned OFF but cannot be restarted without
inserting the switch key (1).
Fig. Y
RESET
1
OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. Y)
This saw has a reset overload relay button (3) that will
restart the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or
low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, turn the
ON/OFF switch to tile OFF position. Wait about five
minutes for the motor to cool. Push in on the reset button
(3) and turn the switch to the ON position.
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 dull blade. Inspect your saw for
proper setup before using it again.
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. Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be
done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the
rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
CAUTION: Before using the saw each and every time,
check the following:
1. Blade is tight on the arbor.
2. Bevel angle lock knob is tight.
3. If ripping, fence knob is tight and fence is parallel
to the miter gauge grooves.
4. Blade guard is in place and working properly.
5. Safety glasses are being 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.

15
RIPPING (FIG. Z, AA)
Do not allow familiarity gained from the 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.
1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to
the table.
2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece about 1" away from the blade.
CAUTION: The workpiece must have a straight edge against
the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed.
4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up
to speed.
5. 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. Z)
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward that section of the
workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence.
Fig. AA
BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than 0°.
Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
side of the blade.
Keep both hands away from the blade and the path
of the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade to come up to
full speed.
5. Keep the workpiece against the face of the miter
gauge and flat against the face of the gauge and flat
against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece
through the blade (FIG. BB).
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 is completely stopped.
Fig. BB
COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. DD)
This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a
bevel angle.
1. Set the miter gauge to the desired angle. Use only
the left side groove.
2. Set the blade bevel to the desired angle.
3. Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the
cutting operation.
Fig. DD
I
2 1
6. 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.
7. The push stick (3) should always be used when the
ripped workpiece is 2" or wider (1). (FIG. AA)
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick
(3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear
of the table.
9. Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is
turning. Turn the switch OFR When the blade
completely stops raise the anti-kickback pawls on
each side of the splitter and slide the workpiece out.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
Avoid injury from blade contact. Never make through-saw
cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.
,
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 one or more push sticks to move
the workpiece.
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB)
Do not allow familiarity gained from the 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.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in
the left side groove.
2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" 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 one inch distance
from the blade.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. CC)
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except
the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
1. Adjust the blade to the desired angle, and tighten the
blade bevel lock knob.
2. Always work to the left side of the blade. The miter
gauge must be in the left side groove.
Fig. CC
MITERING (FIG. EE)
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except
the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.
1. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge.
2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade to prevent
the workpiece from moving.
Fig. EE
16
USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. FF)
When performing some special cutting operations, add
a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2):
1. Use a smooth straight 3/4" thick wood board (1) that
is as long as the rip fence.
2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood
screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood
fence should be used when ripping material such as
thin paneling to prevent the material from catching
between the bottom of the fence and the table.
Fig. FF
÷--":........
DADO CUTS (FIG, HH)
1. The dado table insert is included with this saw.
Remove saw blade, blade guard, installed dado,
and dado table insert.
2. Instructions for operating the dado are packed with
the separately purchased dado set.
3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum
width of the cut to 1/2".
4. It is not necessary to install the outside flange (2)
before screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that
the arbor nut (3) is tight, and that at least one thread
of the arbor sticks out past the nut.
5. Use only the 6" dado set and keep the width 1/2" or
less. It will be necessary to remove the blade guard
and splitter when using dado. Use caution when
dado is operating.
6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades
and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's instruction
manual. Blade or chipper must not exceed 1/2".
7. Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the
housing, insert, or motor when in operation.
MAINTAINING YOUR TABLE SAW
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the
switch key. Remove the plug from the power source outlet
before maintaining or lubricating your saw.
1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside
the saw cabinet and the motor.
2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep
it clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.
3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
4. A worn, cut, or damaged power cord should be
replaced immediately.
Fig. II
/
2
REPETITIVE CUTTING (FIG. GG)
To crosscut a quantity of workpieces the same length
without having to mark each one, attach the stop rods to
your miter gauge. Use the stop rods only for cutting
duplicate workpieces 6" or longer.
1. Square one workpiece end on alt of the workpieces (1)
to be cut.
2. Attach the stop rod assembly (2) to the miter gauge.
The miter gauge must be in the left-of-the-blade slot.
3. Measure and set the desired distance from the end
of the stop rod to one blade tooth set to the left.
4. Place the squared workpiece end against the stop rod.
5. Hold the workpiece (1) firmly against the miter gauge
body with your left hand and grip the lock knob (3) with
your right hand.
6. Carefully slide the workpiece into the blade and make
the cut.

For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade
guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished
with the dado operation.
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted
only by a trained repair technician. Contact the nearest
Sears Service Center for service. Use only identical
replacement parts. Any other parts may create a hazard.
5. Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to
clean all plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can damage
plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of the following cleaning chemicals or
solvents: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
containing ammonia.
7. Inspect cutting blade for missing teeth or other damage.
If any damage is evident replace blade before using.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
After each five hours of operation, the blade raising
mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked for
looseness, binding, or other abnormalities. With the saw
disconnected from the power source, turn the saw
upside down and alternately pull upward and downward
on the motor unit. Observe any movement of the motor
mounting mechanism. Looseness or play in the blade
raising screw (1) (FIG. II) should be adjusted as follows:
/
Place a small amount of dry lubricant such as graphite
or silicon on screw rod (1) at thrust washer (5). Do not
oil threads of screw rods (1). Screw rod (1) must be
kept clean and free of saw dust, gum, pitch, and other
contaminants for smooth operation.
If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of the
blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, take the
complete unit to a Sears Authorized 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.
