GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Operating a Table Saw can be dangerous if safety and common sense are ignored. The operator must be familiar with the operation of the tool. Read this manual to understand this Table Saw. DO NOT operate this Table Saw ifyou do not fully understand the limitations of this tool. DO NOT modify this Table Saw in any way. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.

BEFORE USING THE TABLE SAW

To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before operating the Table Saw.

1. READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.

GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground the tool and provide protection against

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.

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 com- ply 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.

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,

and wax.

6. KEEP ViSiTORS AND CHILDREN AWAY from the

table saw. DO NOT permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an opera- tion for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations

for which the tool was intended.

8. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose

clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. These items can get caught in the machine during operations and pull the operator into the moving parts. Users must wear a protective cover on their hair, if the hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.

15.

NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the "OFF" position. DO NOT leave the tool until it has come to a complete

stop.

16.

DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over or you accidentally contact

the tool.

17.

DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to

reach it.

18.

MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber-

soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and

wax.

19.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades

and tool bits sharp.

20.EACHAND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAM=

AGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate

properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or 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 pro-

mote 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.

or cutter only.

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.

Sears may recommend other accessories not listed in this manual.

See your nearest Sears Hardware Department or Sears Power and Hand Tool Catalog for other accessories.

Do not use any accessory unless you have completely read the Owner's Manual for that accessory.

Use only accessories recommended for this table saw. Using other accessories may cause serious injury and

cause damage to the table saw.

Figure 2A illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. The material, which the featherboard is

constructed of, should be straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Featherboards are used to

keep the work in contact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks. Clamp the featherboard to the

fence and table so that the leading edge of the feather- board will support the workpiece until the cut is com-

pleted.

Use featherboards for all non-through cutting opera- tions where the guard and splitter assembly must be

removed. Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non-through cutting operations are finished. See figure 2B.

Fig. 2B

CONSTRUCTING A PUSHSTICK

When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a pushstick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in figure 2C.

Fig. 2C

The Pushstick should be made of 3/4 or 1/2 inch wood or a thickness less than the width of the workpiece to be cut.

Figure 2C should be copied and scaled so the grids are 1/2 inch square. This copy can be used to make your pushstick.

CAUTION LOCKING ON/OFF SWITCH

• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your 1. 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 3. 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 correctly and are in working order.

• KEEP table surface clear of tools and debris before starting table saw.

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 19-1.

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.

To return the saw blade bevel to zero degrees, loosen the handwheel lock knob (counterclockwise) and turn

the handwheel counterclockwise. 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. To tilt the blade bevel to 45-degrees, loosen the hand-

wheel lock knob (counterclockwise) 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.

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.

Figure 20A=2

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 fol-

lows:

MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from the power source.

Figure 20A=1

6. Rotate the saw blade back so that you take the measurement from the same spot on the saw

blade. See Figure 20A-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.

If an adjustment is necessary see "ADJUSTING

BLADE ALIGNMENT".

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).

RIP FENCE OPERATIONS

AND ADJUSTMENTS

MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from the power source.

The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw blade. The most common location is on the right hand side. This fence is a front locking fence, meaning it only clamps on the front rail. The fence slides across

the front and rear rails.

Figure 21=1

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 20B-1.

Figure 20B=2

C G D F

1. To move the rip fence, lift up on the fence handle (A) and slide the fence back and forth across the

saw table. Note: The fence handle is spring loaded and will stay in the up position until press down on.

See figure 21-1.

2. To lock the fence from sliding side to side, push down on the fence handle.

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 20B-2.

Clean the front and rear rail with rubbing alcohol or automotive brake cleaner. Make sure not to get

cleaner on any painted surfaces. After cleaning, wax the entire front and rear rail. For models that

have the Micro-Adjustment assembly, do not wax the area of the front rail where the rubber wheel

from the micro-adjust contacts.

ADJUSTING RiP FENCE PARALLEL:

1. To adjust the rip fence parallel to the miter gauge groove, position the rip fence (B) along the right

side (C) of the right hand miter gauge groove and lock the fence. The rip fence should be parallel to

the miter gauge groove. If an adjustment is neces- sary, proceed to the next step. See figure 21-1.

2. Lift the fence handle and slightly loosen hex head screw (G). Lightly tap on the rear of the fence until the rip fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove. Lock the fence and retighten hex head screws.

Unlock the fence and move it side to side. Lock and recheck it for parallel. See figure 21-1.

ADJUSTING RiP FENCE SQUARE:

1. To adjust the rip fence square to the table surface, lock the fence in place and place a square on the

saw table and against the side of the rip fence. Ifthe rip fence is out-of-square, proceed to the next step.

2. Unlock the rip fence handle and adjust one or both set screws (H) to make the rip fence square to the

saw table. Lock the rip fence handle and recheck.

CAUTION

Keep about 1mm gap between saw table and bottom of fence. Ten sheets of printer paper are

about lmm. See figure 21-1.

ADJUSTING CLAMPING PRESSURE:

ADJUSTING RiP SCALE

1. To adjust the right scale, align left fence side (B) at a distance from the right side (C) of the right miter

gauge groove and lock the fence. See figure 21-1.

2. Use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the saw blade right side to the left fence side.

3. Loosen two screws attaching the cursor (E) to the right side of fence cross arm. See figure 21-1.

4. Align cursor with the scale (F) so that the thin black line (D) is on the same number as the distance

measured in step 4. Tighten the cursor screws.

5. To adjust the left scale, remove fence from table and reposition it on left side of saw blade. Align

right fence side at a distance from the left side of left miter gauge groove and lock the fence.

6. Use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the saw blade left side to the right fence side.

7. Loosen two screws attaching the cursor to the left side of fence cross arm.

8. Align cursor with the scale so that the thin black line is on the same number as the distance measured in

step 6. Tighten the cursor screws.

1. After the rip fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove, check to see if there is adequate clamping

force to hold the rip fence in place. If you can lift the rip fence up off the front rail while it is locked, it

needs adjusted.

2. To adjust the clamping pressure of the rip fence, slightly loosen two hex socket head screws under- neath fence body (I). To increase clamping pres- sure turn set screw (J) clockwise; to decrease clamping pressure turn set screw counterclockwise

and tighten both hex socket head screws. Note: Only make small adjustments to set screw (J) and

recheck. See figure 21-1.

Figure 21=2

The rip fence must be properly aligned to the miter gauge groove in order to prevent "kickback" when ripping.
