WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the instructions

and precautions before operating tool. PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created by using

power tools contain chemicals known to the state of California

to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH

approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures as

defined in this manual -- even if you are familiar with use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS LEAD. A CHEMI- CAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUC- TIVE HARM. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts of machine.

Sears Brands Management Corporation

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles. ° Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI

Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lens-

es. They are NOT safety glasses.

° Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty. ° Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when

tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause

drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

* Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite acci-

dents,

, Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not

use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools to rain.

o Work area should be properly lighted. ° Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area. ° Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof.

Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to

prevent any unintentional use of power tools.

° Keep power cords from coming incontact with sharp

objects, oil, grease and hot surfaces.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

° Always unplug tool prior to inspection. . Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting pro-

cedures.

- Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation. ° Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that

adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.

. Keep al! parts in working order. Check to determine that

the guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their intended function.

. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving

parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any other condi- tion that may affect a tool's operation.

° A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order replacement parts.)

• Maintain proper adjustment of rip fence and blade guard.

° Never adjust saw while running. Disconnect power to avoid

accidental start-up.

- Have damaged or worn power cords replaced immediately. . Keep blade sharp for efficient and safest operation.

KNOW HOWTO USE TOOL

. Use right tool for job. Do not force too] or attachment to do

a job for which it was not designed.

. Disconnect tool when changing blade. ° Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the

"off" position before plugging in, turning on safety discon- nect or activating breakers.

° Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for

which it was designed.

o Keep hands away from blade and moving parts and cutting

surfaces.

. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off

and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

° Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance. . Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is

tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.

o Know yourtoo]. Learn the tool's operation, application and

specific limitations.

° Handle workpiece correctly. Press firmly against table.

Protect hands from possible injury.

• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the

work.)

• Feed work into the blade only as recommended in "Operation"

WARNING; For your own safety, do not operate your saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to instructions.

STABILITY OF SAW

If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move during certain cutting operations, such as cutting extremely heavy

panels or long heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down. tf you attach any kind of extensions over 24" wide to either

end of the saw, make sure you either bolt the saw to the floor, as appropriate, or support the outer end of the extension from

the bench or floor, as appropriate.

LOCATION

The saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the saw blade.

KICKBACKS

A kickbackoccursduringa rip-typeoperationwhena part or allof workpieceisthrownback violentlytowardoperator.

Keepyourface andbodyto one sideofthesawblade,outof linewitha possible kickback.

Kickbacksand possibleinjuryfrom themcanusuallybe avoid-

edby:

• Maintainingripfence parallel to saw blade. ° Keepingsaw bladesharp.Replace or sharpen anti-kick-

backpawlswhenpointsbecomedull.

• Keepingsawblade guard, spreader,andanti-kickback

pawls in placeand operatingproperly.The spreader must

be in alignmentwiththe saw bladeand the pawlsmust

stopa kickbackonceit hasstarted. Checktheiraction beforeripping.

• Not ripping workthat is twistedor warpedor doesnot havea straight edge toguidealongthe rip fence.

• Not releasing workuntil youhavepushedit allthe way pastthe saw blade.

• Usinga push stick for rippingwidthslessthan6 inches.

• Not confiningthecutoffpiecewhen ripping orcrosscutting.

PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, BODY, EARS

• If any part of yoursaw ismissing, malfunctioning, or has

beendamagedorbroken(such asthe motor switch, elec-

troniccontrols,otheroperatingcontrol,a safety device or powercord),cease operatingimmediately until the partic-

ularpart is properly.repairedorreplaced.

• Wear safety gogglesthat complywithUnitedStatesANSI

Z87.1 anda face shield or dustmask if operationisdusty.

Wear ear plugsor muffsduringextendedperiodsof oper-

ation.

• Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back at the

operator at excessive speed. This can usually be avoided by keeping the guard and spreader in place for all thru- sawing operations (sawing entirely thru work) and by

removing all loose pieces from the table with a long stick of wood immediately after they are cut off.

• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is removed for resawing, dadoing, or rabbeting--replace guard as soon as that operation is completed.

° Never turn the saw ON before clearing the table of all

tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.

° Never place your face or body in line with the cutting tool. ° Never place your fingers or hands in path of saw blade or

other cutting tool.

° For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a workpiece to

which a push stick or push board is applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed

pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick or block does not cause the workpiece to come away from

the fence, and possibly cause a kickback.

• During rip and rip-type cuts, workpiece must be held down on table and against fence with a push stick, push block,

or featherboards, as applicable (see Figures la and l b, page 4).

Push Stick: A safety device used to push the workpiece through a cutting operation. Used most often when rip cutting thin workpieces.

The push stick and push block examples shown below are use- ful for keeping hands and fingers away from saw blade during

ripping, rabbeting and dadoing. Apply downward pressure and

push workpiece through the cut and past the blades. Several other configurations may be suitable for safe operation.

Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the rip fence or table during the cutting operation. Use of featherboards

can help to prevent kickbacks and binding. Featherboards should be used for all "non thru-sawing" operations.

• Never reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to

hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid awkward operations and

hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a saw blade or other cutting tool.

° Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the

table while the cutting tool is rotating.

• Do not perform any operation freehand--always use either rip fence or miter gauge to position and guide the work.

° Never use the rip fence when cross-cutting or the miter gauge

when ripping. Do not use rip fence as a length stop. Never hold onto or touch free-end of workpiece or a free-piece that

is cut off, while power is ON and/or saw blade is rotating.

• Shut the saw OFF and disconnect power source when removing the table insert, changing the cutting tool,

removing or replacing the blade guard, or making adjust- ments.

Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.

Plastic and composition materials (like hardboard) 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 especially attentive to following proper setup and cutting procedures for ripping. Do not

stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a poten- tial kickback.

If you stall or jam the saw blade in the workpiece, turn saw

OFF and remove the workpiece from the saw blade. Check to see if the saw blade is parallel to the miter

gauge grooves and if the spreader is in proper alignment with the saw blade. If ripping at the time, check to see if

the rip fence is parallel with the saw blade. Readjust as required.

CHECK TABLE ALIGNMENT Refer to Figures21, 22 and 23, page 10. _.-

• Saws are shippedfrom thefactory withthe tableadjusted so themitergaugeslotsare parallel to thesaw blade.

However,in orderto obtainthebest resultsfrom thesaw, it issuggestedthisadjustmentbe checkedbeforeoperating.

• A simple method ofcheckingalignment isas follows: Bolt orclampa dowelrod or similar objectto mitergauge(a

combinationsquarecan be substituted). Pick outa tooth

onfront of bla_leand setthe dowel to it so it isjusttouch- ing.Move sametoothto backof blade.

• Gauge thistoothwiththedowel rod. Ifthetoothis in the

same position,relative tothe miter gaugeslot, the tableis paral]elwiththeblade. In short, the mitergaugeslots must be parallelwiththe blade.This means thatwhenmeasur- ingdistancebetween blade andmitergauge slot atthe front and rear oftheblade,thedistanceswillbe equal (see Figure21).

NOTE: Be sure to measure the distance ormake the test

onthe same toothof the saw bladein both front andrear positions.

° If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: Loosen

and remove the six socket pan head screws and the rear panel (see Figure 22). Loosen the three hex head bolts on

the trunnion (see Figure 23) and shift trunnions until a position is found where the saw blade is parallel to the

miter guage slots.
