E, REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking for and removing keys and

adjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.

F. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1. USE ONLY "RECOMMENDED ACCESSO-
RIES" (See page 43). Follow the instructions

that come with the accessories. Using other ac-
cessories may be dangerous.

2. Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for
the material and the type of cutting you plan to

do.

3. Never use gdnding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buffingwheeL They canfly apart

explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrap-

nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or
Smaller blades or other cutting tools marked

for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades

designed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

c. When thru-sawing (making cuts where the

blade comes through the workpiece top),
always use a 10 inch diameter blade. This
keeps the spreader in closest to the blade.

d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor

wrenches to "snug" it securely.

e. Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth.

Consult a professional blade sharpenerwhen
in doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5..Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.

NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no

parts have any excessive play.

_.Keep work area clean

A Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burnsor other firedamage, never usethe

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

C. To avoidinjury,don'tdo layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while the blade is spinning. It

could cut or throw anything hittingthe blade.

Plan ahead to protectyour eyes, hands, face, ears.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

L Plan your work

A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or

attachment to do a job itwas not designed for.

B. Dress for safety:

1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get

caught and draw you into moving parts.

2. Wear nonslip footwear.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible

hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when

using saw for long periods of time.

6. Any power saw can throw foreign objects into

the eyes. This can cause permanent eye
damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)

that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack-

age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact

resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Safety goggles are available at Sears retail
catalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in com-
pliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt
you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with the safety goggles.

C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no

nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be cut.

D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-

BACKS -when a part or al! of the workpiece binds

on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.

1. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a
Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position
and guide the work, so it won't twist, bind on the

blade and kickback.

2. Make sure there's no debris between the work-
piece and its supports.

3. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the

blade:

a. A piece of molding, for example, must tieflat

or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it

twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs or
fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece

shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of tool for

work that can't be made stable.

4. Use extra caution with large, very small or
awkward workpieces:

a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,

b!ocks,etc.) for anyworkpieces large enough

totip when not held down to the table top.

NEVER use another personas a substitute

for atable extension, or as additional support

for a workpiece that is longer or wider than
the basic saw table, or to help feed, support

or pull the workpiece.

b. Nevercontinethepiecebeingcutoff. Thatis,

the piece NOTagainstthe fence, mitergauge

or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or
use length stopsagainst it. Itmust be free to

move. Ifconfined, itcouldget wedged against
the blade and cause a kickback or throw-

back.

c. Never cut more than oneworkpiece at atime.
d. Never turn your table saw "ON" before clear-

ing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.

4. Plan the way youwill pushthe workplecethrough.
A. NEVER pull the workplece through. Start and

finish the cut from the front of the table saw.

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade orother cutting tool.

C. NEVER reach in back ofthe cuttingtoolwith either

hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, orfor any other reason.

D. AvoU hand positions where a sudden sl;p could

cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or
other cutting tool.

E. DON'T OVERREACH. Always keep good footing

and balance.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the

blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool
from the rear of the saw.

G.Always push the workpiece all the way past the

sawblade.

H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to

one side ofthe sawblade,out of linewith apossible
kickback or throwback.

L NEVERtumthesaw"ON"beforeclearingthetable

of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work-

piece and related feed or support devices for the
cut planned.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING

second is enough to cause a severe Injury.

1. Before actually cutting with the saw, watch itwhile it
runsfor ashort while. If itmakes anunfamiliar noise

or vibrates a lot,stop immediately. Turn the saw off.

Unplug the saw. Do notrestart untilfinding andfixing

the problem.

2. Make sL=rethe top of the arbor or cutting toolturns
toward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut

you're planning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY, Allvisitorsshouldbe kept

asafedistancefrornwork. Make surebystanders are
clear ofthe saw andworkpiece.

5. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
saferat itsdesigned rate. Feed theworkpiece intothe

blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging

down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed material:
A. Turn switch "OFF",

B. Unplug the saw.
C. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

D. Check blade, Spreader and Fencefor proper align-

rnent before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;
A, Use the Guard assembly.
B To remove loose pieces beneath ortrapped inside

the guard:

1. rum saw "OFF".

2. Remove switch key.

3. Wait for blade tostop before liftingthe Guard.

ADDiTiONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

RIPTYPE CUTS

1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.

2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade. When thru sawing, use an

Auxiliary Fence and Push Block whenever the Fence

mustbe between 1/2 and 2 inches oftheblade. Never

thru saw ripcuts lessthan 1/2 inchwide. (See"BASIC

SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE" sec-

tion.)

3. Never rip anything shorter than 10"long.

4. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailing
end of the board must be square. A Push Stick or

Blockagainst an uneven end couldslip off orpushthe

work away from the Fence.

5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.

See "BASIC SAW OPERAT{ON - USING THE RIP
FENCE." Always use Featherboards for any non

thru riptype cuts.

_...-------- 24"

KERFS ABOUT

5/16" APART

BEFORE STARTING

1. TO avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make
sure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

2. Check the anti-kickback pawls. (See "BASIC SAW
OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.") The

Pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Replace or sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points

become dull.

3. Plastic and composition (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 espe-

cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always

push forward onthe section ofthe workpiece between
the saw blade andthe Rip Fence. Never push forward
on the piece being cut off.

ADDITIONAL iNSTRUCTIONS FOR

CROSSCUT TYPE CUTS

BEFORE STARTING

1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gauge
can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks.

Attach itto the holes provided. Make the facing long
enough and big enough to support your work. Make

sure, however, it will not interfere with the Sawblade
Guard. (See page 26)

3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small to
extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge face

during the cut. This lets you properly hold the Miter
Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands

away from the blade.

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - US-

ING THE MITER GAUGE."

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

1. Turn the saw off.

2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

3. Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Discon-
nect master switches. Remove the yellow Switch
Key. Store _ away from children and others not

qualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.

safety instructions for basic saw operations

BEFORE EACH USE:

1. Inspect your saw.
A. To avoid injuryfrom accidental starting, unplugthe

saw, turn the switch offand remove the Switch Key
before raising or removing the Guard, changing

the cutting tool, changing the setup or adjusting

anything.

B. Check for alignment of moving pads, binding of

moving pads, breakage of pads, mounting, and

any other conditions that may affect the way it
works. If any partis missing, bent, or broken inany
way, or any electrical parts don't work properly,

turn the saw off and unplug the saw.

C. Replace damaged, missing,or failed parts before

using the saw again.

D. Use the Sawblade Guard, Spreader, and Anti-

Kickback Pawls forany thin-sawing (whenever the
blade comes through the top of the workpiece).
Make sure the Pawlswork properly. Makesurethe

Spreader isin linewith the sawblade.

E. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCH ES.

Form habit of checking forand removing keys and
adjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.

F. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces

(kickback and throwback):

1. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
(See page 44). Follow the instructions that

come withthe accessories. Using other acces-
sories may be dangerous.

2. Choose"the right blade orcutting accessory for
the material and the type of cutting you plan to

do.

3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off 6.
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels orbuffingwheel. Theycan flyapart

explosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.
a. To avoid cuttingtoolfailure andthrownshrap-

nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked

for speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades

designed to fit this saw's 5t8 inch arbor.

c. When thru-sawing (making cuts where the

blade comes through the workpiece top),
always use a t 0 inch diameter blade. This

keeps the Spreader in closest to the bade.

d. Donor overtighten arbor nuL Use arbor

enches to snug itsecurely. 7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along

e; Use onlysharp blades with properlyset teeth, with the safety goggles.

Consult aprofessionalblade sharpenerwhen
in doubt, nailsor foreign objects in the part of the workpiece

f. Keep blades clean ofgum and resin, to be cut.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.
NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no
parts have any excessive play.

2. Keep work area clean

A. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burns orother fire damage, never use the

saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

C. To avoid injury frorn accidental blade contact, don't

do layout, assembly, or setup work on the table
while the blade is spinning. It could cut or throw

anything hitting the blade.

Plan aheadto protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure
switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

3. Plan your work

A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or attach-

ment to do a job it was not designed for.

B. Dress for safety:

1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or

jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving pads.

2. Wear nonslip footwear.

3, Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
head ng damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when

using saw for long periods of time.
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into

the eyes. This can cause permanent eye

damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack-

age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Safety goggles are available at Sears retail

catalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in com-

pliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt
you when they break.

C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no

28

D. Plan your cutto avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-

BACKS -when a partor allofthe workpiece binds

on the blade and is thrown violently back toward
the front of the saw.

f. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a

Rip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to position
and guide thework, so itwon't twist,bind onthe

blade and kickback.

2. Make sure there's no debris between the work-

piece and its supports.

3. Whencutting irregularlyshapedworkpieces,
plan your work so itwill not slip and pinch the

blade:
a. A piece of molding, for example, must lie flat

or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it
twist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigsor
fixtures where needed to prevent workpiece

shifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of toolfor

work that can't be made stable.

4. Use extra caution with large, very small or
awkward workpieces:

a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses

blocks,etc.) for anyworkpieces large enough

to tip when not held down to the table top.

NEVER useanother person as a substitute

for a Table Extension, or as additional sup-
port for a workpiece that is longer or wider

than the basic saw table, or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece.

b. Neverconfinethepiecebeingcutoff. That is,

thepieceNOT againstthe Fence,MiterGauge
or fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or
use lengthstops against it. It must be free to
move. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwedged against

the blade and cause a kickback or throw-
back.

c. Never cutmore than oneworkpiece at atime.
d. Never turnyourtable saw "ON" before clear-

ing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.

4. Planthewayyouwill pushtheworkplecethrough.
A. NEVER pug the workpiece through. Start and

finishthe cut from the front ofthe table saw.

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade or other cutting tool.

C. NEVER reach in back ofthecuttingtoolwith either

hand to hold-down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions

where a suddenslip couldcause fingers or hand to

move into a sawblade or other cutting tool.

E. DONq" OVERREACH. Always keep good footing

and balance.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of the

blade. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool

from the rear of the saw.

G.Always push the workpiece all the way past the

sawblade.

H. As much as possible, keep your face and body to

one sideof the sawblade, out of line with a possible
kickback or throwback.

I. NEVER turn the saw"ON"before clearing the table

of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work-

piece and related feed or support devices for the
cut planned.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your table saw) cause a careless mis-

take. Always remember that a careless fraction of a

second is enough to cause a severe injury.

1. Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it
runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise

or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.
Unplugthe saw. Do not restart untiltinding andfixing
the problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns
toward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut
you're planning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept
a safe distance from work. Make sure bystanders are
clear of the saw and workpiece.

5. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the ._obbetter and
safer atits designed rate. Feed the workpiece intothe
blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging
down or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed material:
A. Turn switch "OFF".

B. Unplug the saw.
C. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

D. Checkblade, Spreader and Fence for proper align-

ment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;
A. Use the Guard Assembly.
B. To remove loose pieces beneath ortrapped inside

the Guard:

1; Turn saw "OFF".

2. Remove Switch Key.

3. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the Guard.

Before S_rting:

1. Never use the Rip Fence when crosscutting,

WORK HELPERS

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operations."

Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices, "Work Helpers", like
the Push Stick, the Push Blockandthe Auxiliary Fence/
Work Support, whichyou can make yourself.

Afteryou have made afew practice cuts, make up these
"helpers"before starting any projects. Make the "Push
Stick"first.

PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the Push Stick using a piece of 1 x 2.

Make the Push Blockusing a piece of 3/8 in. and 3/4 in.
plywood.

The small piece of wood 3/8 x 3/8 x 1-1!2 inches should
be GLUED tothe plywood. DO NOT USE NAILS. This
is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you

mistakenly cut intothe Push Block.

Position the handle in the center of the plywood and

fastentogetherwith glue and woodscrews.

AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPOFIT

An auxiliarywoodfacing attached tothe Miter Gauge

can helppreventworkpiece twistingand throwback s.
Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing long

enough andbig enoughto support yourwork. Make
sure, however, itwill not interfere with the sawblade

guard.
Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small

to extend across the full length of the Miter Gauge
face during the cut. This lets you properly hold the
Miter Gauge and workpiece and helps keep your

hands away from the blade.

While Cutting:

1. To avoid bladecontact, always holdthe Miter Gauge
as shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS -

CROSSCUTTING

Crosscut- A cuttingor shaping operation made across
the width of the workpiece.

The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracy
lor average woodworking. In some cases where ex-
treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an

accurate square, or protractor.
If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled

slightlyto compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space betweenthe Miter Gauge Bar andthe

groove inthe table isheld toa minimum dudng manufac-
turing.

For maximum accuracy when using the Miter Gauge,
always '1avor"one side of the groove in the table. In

other words, don't move the Miter Gauge from side to
side while cutting, but keep one side of the bar riding

against one side of the groove.

NOTE: Glue apiece of sandpaperto the face ofthe Miter

Gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut.

The Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) should be
used on the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

The Miter Gauge may be used in either ofthe grooves in

1. Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for
cutting duplicate pieces 6 inches long and longer.

2. Foitowall safety precautions and operational instruc-
tions for cross cutting.

When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece,
make sure it is adequately suppoded.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on

the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

3. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP

BECAUSE THE CUT-OFF PIECE COULD BIND

BETWEEN THE FENC EANDTHE BLADE CA USIN G
A KICKBACK.

4. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches,

clamp a block ofwood 2 inches long to the table to act

as a length stop. Do not clamp directly to the bottom
edge of the table because the "swivel" of the clamp

will not grip properly. Place a small block of wood

between the bottom edge of the table and the "C"

clamp,
CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure

that the end of the block Is well In front of the
sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

5. SrK:lethe workpiece along the Miter Gauge unt_ it

Before staring:

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make

sure the Rip Fence isparallel to the sawblade,

2. Check the Anti-Kickback Pawls. The Pawls must
stop a kickback once it has started. Replace or

sharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points become

dull.

3. Plastic and composition (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 espe-

ciallycareful in your set-up and cutting procedures.

While cutting:

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips intothe blade, a_ways

push forward onthe section of the workpiece between

the saw blade and the Rip Fence. Never pushforward

on the piece being cut off.

Before starting to alp,be sure:

1. Rip Fence isparallel to sawblade.

2. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade.

3. Anti-Kickback Pawls are functioning properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS,

always use a work support.
A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of

plywood to a sawhorse.

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR THRU

SAWING

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

Featherboards are NOT employed for thru-sawing

operations when using the Miter Gauge.

Featherbaords are usedto keep thework incontact with

the Fence and table as shown, and to help stop kick-
backs.

Add 7-1/2 inches highflatfacing board to the Fence, the

NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood wider than 3_/8

inches, itwill be necessawto remove the blade guard
andusethe AuxiliaryFence/Work Support. (See _WORK

HELPERS').
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE

EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without

BINDING between the twoFences.

Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table

because the "swivel"ofthe clampw!ll notgrip properly.

ing because this could cause a kickback.

2. Make the first pass to a depth slightly more than
1/2the width ofthe board. Keep the same face of

the board against the fence for the second pass,

3. Install Blade Guard immediately upon comple-

tion of the resawlng operation.

CUTTING PANELS

When cutting panels (whenever fence is positioned
outside of table surface), ALWAYS use the Auxiliary
Fence/Work Support.

1. Unlock Fence and raise rear end.

2. PositionAuxiliary Fence/Work Support as shown and
attach it with two "C" clamps.

RABBETING

RABBETING is known as cutting out a section of the
comer of apiece of material, across an end oralong an
edge.

To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go allt he

way through the material. Therefore, the Blade Guard

must be removed.

1. Remove Blade Guard.

2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work-

piece) as shown, add facing to Rip Fence approxi-
mately as highas the workpiece is wide. Adjust Rip
Fence and blade to required dimensions; then make

first cut with board flat on table as any rip(type) cut;
make second cutwith workpiece on edge. Follow all
precautions, safety instructions,and operational in-
structionsas for dpping, or riptype operations, includ-
ing Featherboards and Push Stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2

inches and narrower, make the rabbet cut with the

board flat on the table. Using the Miter Gauge fitted
with a Facing, follow the same procedures and in-

structions for cross cutting making successive cuts
across the width of the workpiece to obtain the de-
sired width of cut. DO NOT use the Rip Fence for
rabbeting across the end.

4. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION.

Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the

workpiece over the cutter using the Dado Head or

Molding Head.

DADOING

Instructionsfor operating the Dado Head are contained
in booklet furnished with the Dado Head.

The arbor on the saw, is only long enough so that the

widest cut that can be made is 13/16 inch wide.

It is not necessary to install the outside loose collar
before screwing on the arbor nut. Make sure the arbor
nutis tight.

ALWAYS USE DADO INSERT LISTED UNDER "REC-
OMMENDED ACCESSORIES."

When using the Dado Head it will be necessary to
remove the Blade Guard and Spreader. USE CAU-

TION. USE MITER GAUGE,FENCE, FEATHER-
BOARDS OR PUSH STICKS, etc. AS REQUIRED.

USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR NON-

THRU SAWING

Featherboards are not employed dudng nonthru-saw-

ing operations when using the Miter Gauge.

Use Featherbaords for all other non thru-sawing

operations (when sawblade guard must be removed).

Featherboards are used to keep the work incontact with

the fence and table as shown andto stop kickbacks.

Add7-1/2 inch highflat facing board tothe fence, the full
length ofthe fence. Mount Featherboard tofence and
table as shown, so that leading edges of Featherbaords
will support work,piece until cut is complete, and the

workplace hasbeen pushed completely pastthe cutter

(sav/olade, dado head, molding head, etc.) with a Push
Stick, as in dpping;

Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and cutter

below table surface):

removethe Blade Guard and Spreader. USE CAUTION.

USE MITER GAUGE, FENCE, FEATHERBOARDS OR
PUSH STICKS, ETC. AS REQUIRED.

MITER GAUGE

NOTE: The Slotsfor the Stop Pin and the graduations
are manufactured to very close tolerances which pro-

vide accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases
where extreme accuracy is required, when making

angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then
recheck it.

If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled
slightlyto compensate for any inaccuracy.

1. Loosen the "knob" and pull "Stop Pin" OUT.

2. Swivel the head, position it at "0%push the Stop Pin
