sawing operations arethese in whichthe blade cuts completelythrough the workplace as in rippingor crosscutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti- kickback pawls down, and the rivingknife/spreader/

splitter properly alignedto the saw blade.

• ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against ripfence, miter fence, ormiter gauge.

• ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NAR- ROW STOCK, A push stick is a device used to push

a workpiece through the blade instead of usingyour hands. Size and shape can vary but the pushstickmust always be narrower than the workplace to prevent the pushstick from contacting the saw blade_When ripping

narrow stock, always use a push stick,soyour hand does not come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboardand

push blocks for non-through cuts.

Page 5

• NEVER perform any operation "freehand" which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or miter gauge to position and guide the work.

• NEVER stand or have any part of your body inline with the path of the saw blade.

• NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.

• MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross cutting,

• NEVER use rip fence as cutoff gauge when cross cutting.

• NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw

from the power source.

• PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rearand

sides ofthe saw table for wide or longwork pieces. Use a sturdy "outrigger" support if a table extension

more than 24 inches long is attached to the saw.

• AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you)

by:

a) Keeping blade sharp.

b) KeepingrJpfence parallelto the saw blade. c) Keepingriving knife/spreader/splitter=anti-kickback

pawls, and blade guard in place and operating,

d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the

way past the saw blade using a push stick,

e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does

not have a straight edge to guide alongthe fence.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:

• Straight line cutting operations such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, and compound cutting

• Dado or molding cuts with optional accessories

II Cabinet making and woodworking NOTE=Thistable saw is designed to cut wood and wood

composition products only.

BASIC OPERATION OF THE TABLE SAW

The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded according to all

local codes and ordinances, Improper connection of the

equipmentcan result in electric shock. Do not modify the plug if it will not fit the outlet. Have the correct outlet

installed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the Electrical section inthis manual.

CAUSES OF KICKBACK

Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, kick- ing the workpiece back toward you with great force and

speed. Ifyour hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workplace and may contact the blade. Kiokback can cause serious injury. Use precautions

to avoid the risks.

Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood such as;

• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth

• SaWing into knots or nails in the workplace

• Twistingthe wood while making a cut

• Failing to support work

• Forcing a cut

• Cutting warped orwet lumber

• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut

• Not following correct operating procedures

• Misusing the saw

• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls

• Cutting wlth a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set

blade

AVOIDING KICKBACK

• Always use the correct blade depth setting.The top of the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 in. to

1/4 in.

• Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never saw into a loose knot or nail.

• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting and the miter gauge when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting

the wood in the cut.

PUSHSTICKS

PUSHBLOCKS

Fig. 18

• Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.

• To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly

before beginning a cut.

• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never

force cuts.

• DO not cut wet orwarped lumber.

• Always hold your werkpieee firmly with both hands or

with push st[cks. Keep your body [na balanced posi- tion to be ready to resist kickback should it occur.

Never stand directly in line with the blade,

• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made,

CUTI"ING AIDS

See Figure 18,

Push sticks •are devices used for safely pushing a

workplace through the blade. They can be made in vari-

ous sizes and shapes from scrap wood to use in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece,

with a 90°notch in one end and shapingfor a grip on the

other end. A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws

from the underside. Use it on non-through cuts.

CAUTION; Be surethe screws in a push block are recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workplace.

Page 21

TYPES OF CUTS

See Figure 19.

There are six basic outs: 1) the cross cut, 2) the ripcut, 3) the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5)the bevel rip cut,

and 6) the compound (bevel) miter cut. All other cuts are combinations of these basic six. Operating procedures for making each kind of cut are given Laterin this section.

_k, WARNING" Always make sure the blade guard

and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury.

Cross cuts are straight g0° cuts made across the grain of the workpieee. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90" angle to the blade, and the blade is vertical.

Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood_ To avoid

kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of the wood rides firmly against the rip fence.

Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the

blade other than 90%The blade is vertical. Miter cuts tend to "creep" away from the miter fence during cutting.

This can be controtled by holding the workpiecesecurely against the miter fence.

AML WARNING: Always use a push stick with small

pieces of wood, and also to finish the cut when

ripping a long narrow piece ef wood, to prevent your hands from getting close to the blade.

CROSSCUT

RIPCUT

MITERCUT

BEVELCROSSCUT

Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts arewlth

the grain. The rip fence must always be on the rightside of the blade for bevel rip cuts,

Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an angled blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be thoroughly

familiar withmaking cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, and miter cuts before trying a compound miter cut.

CUTTING TIPS

Bade and rabbet cuts are non-through cuts which can be either rip cuts or cross cuts. Carefully read and un-

derstand all sections of this operator's manual before at-

tempting any operation.

_, WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the

speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could resultin personal injury.

• The kerr (the cut made by the blade inthe wood) will be

wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make allowancefor the kerr when measuring wood.

• Make sure the kerr is made on the waste side of the

measuring line.

BEVELRIPCUT

COMPOUND(BEVEL)MITERCUT

• Cut the wood with the finish side up.

• Knock out any loose knots with e hammer before making the cut.

• Always provide proper support for the wood as it comes out of the saw,

FEATHERBOARD Afsatherboard is a device used to help control the

workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or fence. Featherboards are especially usefutwhen ripping

small workpiecee and for completing non-through cuts_

The end is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a friction hold on the workpiece and locked inplace on the table with a C-clamp. Test that it can resist kickback.

_, WARNING: Place the featherboard against the

uncut portion ofthe workpiece to avoid kickback that could Cause serioUSpersonal iniury.

HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure20.

The featherboard is an excellent project for your saw. Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in.

thick, 3-5/8 in. wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the width to 30° and miter the other half of the same end

to 45" (see page 28 for information on miter cuts). Mark

the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in. and 12 in, Drill a 3/8 in. hole atthe 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.

Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 27.

Set the rip fence tO allow approximately a 1/4 in. "fin- ger" to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to the

mark previously made at 6 in. Turn the saw OFF and al- low the blade to completely stop rotating before remov-

ing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced rips

into the workpiece to allow approxfmately 1/4 in. fingers and 1/8 in. Spaces between the fingers.

HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure 21.

Completely lower the saw blade. Positionthe rip fence to

the desired adjustment for the cut to be performed and

lock the rip fence, Place the workpiece againstthe fence and over the saw blade area, Adjust the featherboard

to apply resistance to the workpiece just forward of the

blade. Attach a C-clamp to securethe featherboard to the

edge of the saw table.

_k WARNING: DO not locate the featherboard to

the rear of the workplace. If positioned improperly, kickback can resultfrom the featherboard pinching the workpiece and bindingthe blade in the saw kerf. Failureto heed this warning can result in serious

persona]injury.

is essential to cutting grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. NOTE: This is the only type cutthat is made without

the blade guard installed.Make sure the blade guard

assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

Read the appropriate section which describes the type

of cut in addition to this section on non-through or dade

cuts. For example= if your non-through cut isa straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight

cross cuts before proceeding.

with blade.

The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for mak- (ng very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary clueto wear.

To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good

practice is to check your setups carefully with aflam-

ing square and make practice cuts (nscrap wood before making finish cuts (n good workp(eces. Do not start any

adjustments until you have checked with e square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.

TO REPLACE THE BLADE
