ABLE SAW SAFETY

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter 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.

ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a

push stick 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 28.

NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION “FREE

HAND”, which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

A DANGER

FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF

KICK-BACK & FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.

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. NEVER use a rip fence when cross cutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.

10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.

functioning. Do not release work before it has passed all the way past the saw blade and is off the table. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it along the fence.

14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the saw blade.

15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to dean 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 on a bench or stand before performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 10.

17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.

18. ALWAYS USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for additional sawdust removal.

19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not leave the saw until it comes to a complete stop.

20. FOR proper operation follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual. Failure to provide sawdust fallthrough and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage (see page 11 for details).

21. DO NOT AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL USERS to operate this power tool without the accompanying operators manual for which the user must read and understand.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAP

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical 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.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor.

If repair or replacement of the electric 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.

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. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 shows a 3-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.

CAUTION In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

CAUTION This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

Fig.1

3-Pronged Plug

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

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord wi cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table on the right 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.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit

must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the

Page 18

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. Never use the two cut the same time.

A WARNING

Before using the saw each and every time, check the following:

1. Blade is tight on the arbor.

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.

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. AA)

A WARNING

AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward on the section of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence. Use a push stick at all times.

A WARNING

Always use a push stick. When width or rip narrower than 2 in. the push stick cannot be used because the guard will interfere... Use the auxiliary fence as shown are page 20.

RIPPING (FIG. AA, BB)

A WARNING

• Never use the miter gauge when ripping.

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

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

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

• 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.

1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the table at the desired rip measurement.

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

3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence so the larger portion of the workpiece is between the blade and the fence. Keep the workpiece about 1 in. away from the blade.

4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up to speed.

xJ xJ I

6. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When your hand reaches the front edge of the table (2), finish the cut with a push stick (3) (Fig. BB). You can make a push stick using the pattern on page 28.

7. The push stick (3) should always be used during all ripping operations. (Fig. BB)

8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.

A DANGER

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 on each side of the splitter and slide the workpiece out.

Page 19

BEVEL RIPPING This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than “0”.

A WARNING

Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the blade.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

A WARNING

Avoid injury from the blade contact Never make through saw cuts narrower than 1/2 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, your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, therefore, use one or more push sticks to pass the workpiece completely through and past the blade.

CROSSCUTTING 90° MITER ANGLE (FIG. CC)

USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (Fig. DD) 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 the miter gauge face with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

A 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.

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

2. Adjust the blade height so 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. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.

4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full speed.

5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge (3) and flat against the face of the gauge and flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade. (Fig. CC)

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.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. EE) 0°~45° BLADE BEVEL & 90° MITER ANGLE This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.

A 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.

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

2. Tighten miter lock handle (3) at 90°.

3. Hold workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.

A WARNING

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

Page 20

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. FF) 0°~45° BLADE BE¥EL & 0°~45° MITER ANGLE This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. HH) When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).

A 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.

1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle.

2. Place the miter gauge in the right side groove of the table.

3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4. Hold workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.

1. Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.

2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw (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. HH

AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. fl) Making the base:

• Start with a piece of 3/8 in. plywood at least 5-1/2 in. wide or wider and 30” long or longer.
