accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the 3rd
prong. See Grounding Instructions.
3. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRON=
MENT. DO NOT Use electrical tools in a damp
environment or expose them to rain.
4. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gasses.
9.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power
tool can throw debris into the eyes during opera-
tions, which could cause severe and permanent
eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that
comply with ANSi standard Z87.t) when operating
power tools. Safety Goggles are available at Sears
Retail Stores. Hearing equipment should comply
with ANSi S3.t 9 Standards.
10.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELEC=
TRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments,
changing parts or performing any maintenance.
11.
KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS iN PLACE AND iN
WORKING ORDER.
12.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that
the power switch isin the "OFF" position before plug-
ging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.
13.
REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the
immediate area prior to turning the tool "ON".
14.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Use of incorrect or improper accessories could
cause serious injury to the operator and cause
damage to the tool. If in doubt, check the instruction
manual that comes with that particular accessory.
5.
ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and
organized. DO NOT work in an environment with
floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease,

breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be immediately repaired or
replaced.
21. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov-
ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical
receptacles, and using padlocks.
GUIDELINES FOR
EXTENSION CORDS
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger diameter of
the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in a loss of power and overheating. USE ONLY A
3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG
GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL iF UNDER THE
iNFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
23. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use
clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer
than attempting to hold the workpiece with your
hands.
24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING,
AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING
A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE A TOOL WHILE
TIRED OR UNDER THE iNFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
25. Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or
other airborne particles, including wood dust,
crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct
particles away from face and body. Always operate
tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper
dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever
possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid pro-
longed contact with dust. Allowing dust to get
into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may
promote absorption of harmful material. Always use
properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD iN GOOD
CONDiTiON. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. Please see "MiNiMUM
RECOMMENDED GAUGE FOR EXTENSION
CORDS (AWG)" table for correct sizing of an
extension cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it
is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indi-
cate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, exces-
sive heat, and damp or wet areas.

THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
USE ONLY A 3=WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3=PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the 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 ground-
ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical 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 electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip-
ment-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. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
The motor supplied with your Table Saw is a dual voltage
120/240 volts, 60 hertz alternating current, single phase
motor. It is shipped wired for 120 volts application. Never
connect the green or ground wire to a live terminal.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDI=
ATELY.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD=CONNECTED MACHINES
iNTENDED FOR USE ON A SUPPLY CiRCUiT HAVING
A NOMINAL RATING LESS THAN 150 VOLTS.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE "IA'.
FIGURE "IA" shows a 3-wire electrical plug and elec-
trical receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a
properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available,
an adapter as shown in FIGURE "IB" can be used to
temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it
that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground,
such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THIS
ADAPTER IS PROHiBiTED iN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
The motor supplied with your Table Saw is a dual volt-
age, 120/240 volt, single phase motor. If it is desired
to operate your table saw at 240 volts, it is necessary to
reconnect the motor leads in the motor junction box by
following the wiring diagram on the junction box cover.
MAKE CERTAIN the motor is disconnected from power
source before reconnecting motor leads.

It is also necessary to replace the 120 volt plug, sup-
plied with the motor, with a UL/CSA Listed plug suitable
for 240 volts and rated current of the saw. Contact a
local qualified electrician for proper procedures to install
the plug. The table saw must comply with all local and
national electrical codes after the 240 volt plug is
installed.
The table saw with a 240 volt plug should only be con-
nected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug shown in Figure "1C". No adapter is available
or should be used with the 240 volt plug.
MAKE CERTAIN that masks or respirators are
MSHA/NIOSH approved.
The operation of any Table Saw can result in debris
being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that com-
ply with ANSi standard Z87.1) when operating the Table
Saw. Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail
Stores. Keep your thumbs and fingers away from the
blade while it is spinning.

CAUTION
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
table saw. The table saw comes pre-wired for 120-volt
use. The circuit should not be less than #14 AWG wire
and should be protected with a 15-amp time lag fuse.
• Have a qualified electrician repair or replace damaged
or worn cord immediately.
• Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
certain the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure
that the electric current is of the same characteristics
as the motor nameplate. All line connections should
make good contact.
• Running on low voltage or long extension cords will
damage the motor.
• DO NOT expose the table saw to rain or operate the
in damp locations.
• MAKE SURE all parts have been assembled correct-
ly and are in working order.
• KEEP table surface clear of tools and debris before
starting table saw.

RAiSiNG AND LOWERING THE BLADE
Figure 14=1
The blade height adjustment handwheel and handwheel
lock knob are located on the front of the cabinet above
the blade bevel scale. To raise the saw blade, loosen
the handwheel lock knob (A) (counter-clockwise) and
turn the handwheel (B) clockwise. When the saw blade
is at its desired height, tighten the handwheel lock knob
(clockwise) until it is securely tightened. See figure 14-1.
ADJUSTING BLADE BEVEL
POSITIVE STOPS
Figure 15=1
1. To adjust blade 90-degree blade bevel positive
stop, raise the saw blade (A) to its highest position.
See figure 15-1.
To lower the saw blade, loosen the handwheel lock knob
(counter-clockwise) and turn the handwheel counter-
clockwise. When the saw blade is at its desired height,
tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise) until it is
securely tightened.
TILTING THE BLADE
The blade bevel handwheel and handwheel lock knob
is located on the left side of the cabinet. To increase
the saw blade-bevel, loosen the handwheel lock knob
(A) (counter-clockwise) and turn the handwheel (B)
clockwise. When the saw blade is at its desired
degree, tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise)
until it issecurely tightened. See figure 14-1
To return the saw blade bevel to zero degrees, loosen
the handwheel lock knob (counter-clockwise) and turn
the handwheel counter-clockwise. When the saw blade
is back to zero degrees it will come into contact with the
adjustable positive stop which will cause the blade to
stop. Tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise) until
it is securely tightened.
2. Using a combination square (B) check that the
blade is 90-degrees to the saw table (zero degrees
on bevel scale). See figure 15-1.
3. If the blade will not tilt to 90-degree, turn (counter-
clockwise) the set screw (C) in the left hand side of
the saw table until the blade can be positioned to
90-degrees. Tighten bevel handwheel lock knob,
located on the left side of the cabinet. This will keep
the blade from further tilting and check that the set
screw is contacting positive stop. See figure 15-1.
4. If the blade has been tilted to 90-degrees, tighten
bevel handwheel lock knob, located on the left side
of the cabinet. This will keep the blade from further
tilting. Turn the set screw clockwise until it comes
in contact with the positive stop.
Figure 15=2
To tilt the blade bevel to 45-degrees, loosen the hand-
wheel lock knob (counter-clockwise) and turn the hand-
wheel clockwise. When the saw blade is at 45-degrees
it will come into contact with the adjustable positive stop
which will cause the blade to stop, tighten the hand-
wheel lock knob (clockwise) until it is securely tightened.

BEVEL ARROW ADJUSTMENT
1. Make certain that the blade is at 90-degrees to
the table surface with a combination square. See
figure 16-1.
BLADE HEEL ALIGNMENT
CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT
Blade heel is the misalignment of the blade to the miter
slots. This means when the blade is not parallel to the
miter slots it is heeling. The blade is set parallel at the
factory and should not need any adjustments. You can
check this by using a dial indicator (not included) or a
combination square (not included). It is recommended
to check the alignment before initial operation as
follows:
MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from
the power source.
Fig. 16A-1
Figure 16=1
2. Check that the bevel arrow (A) is pointing to the
zero degree mark on the bevel scale (B) located on
the front of the cabinet. See figure 16-1.
3. To adjust arrow, loosen the Philips head screw (C)
and reposition the bevel arrow and tighten screw.
See figure 16-1.

1,
Raise the saw blade to its highest point.
2.
Place a combination square (A) on the saw table
with one edge (B) of the square against the left
miter slot (C). See Figure 16A-1.
3,
Adjust the square so the rule (D) just touches the
saw blade about 1 inch in from the outer diameter.
Make sure the rule is not touching any of the car-
bide tips of the saw blade.
4,
Lock the rule in this position.

5.
This dimension should be around 5-1/2 inch, plus or
minus 3/32 of an inch.

6,
Rotate the saw blade back so that you take the
measurement from the same spot on the saw
blade. See Figure 16A-2.
7,
Take a reading at the rear of the blade (E) with the
combination square. If there is a difference of more
than four pieces of standard printer paper between
the rule and the blade then adjustment will have to
be made.
8,
If an adjustment is necessary see "ADJUSTING
BLADE ALIGNMENT".
1,
To align the blade parallel to the miter slot, first
loosen two hex head screws (A) under the left side
of the table saw. This is the same side as the bevel
handwheel (B). See figure 16B-1.

ADJUSTING BLADE ALIGNMENT
Blade alignment is factory set and should not need
adjustment. All saw blades have some runout.
Therefore, readjusting the blade alignment should only
be attempted if it becomes necessary (see checking
blade alignment).
MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from
the power source.
2,
Open motor cover located on the right side of the
table saw. Loosen two hex head screws (C) locat-
ed directly above the opening. See Figure 16B-2.
3,
The saw table is now loose and can be reposi-
tioned until the blade is parallel to the miter slot.
Repeat steps in "CHECKING BLADE ALIGNMENT".
4,
When blade is parallel to miter slot tighten all four
hex head screws.
5.
Recheck blade alignment.
6.
Tilt the blade to 45 degrees, and rotate the saw
blade by hand. Make sure the blade does not
contact the table insert.
