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 if you 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.

Some dust created by using power tools contains 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, cement, and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, 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, such as those dust masks that are spe-

cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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.

AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRON-

MENT. DO NOT Use electrical tools ina damp

environment or expose them to rain.

DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.

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.

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.

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.

10.

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 Z87.1) when operating

power tools. Safety Goggles are available at Sears

Retail Stores. Hearing equipment should comply

with ANSI $3.19 Standards.

11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELEC- TRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments,

changing parts or performing any maintenance.

12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.

13.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure

that the power switch is in the "OFF" position

before plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.

14.

REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area prior to turning the tool "ON".

15.

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.

16.

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.

17.

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

the tool.

21.EACH AND 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.

22. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by re- moving switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

23. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

24. 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.

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.

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.

25. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Basic precautions should always be followed when using your Table Saw. To reduce the risk of injury, electrical shock or fire, comply with the safety rules

listed below:

1. READ and understand the instruction manual before operating the Table Saw.

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.

kerf should be

about 1/4" apart I

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.

[

Fig. 2B

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.

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.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Fig. 3-1

CAUTION

LOCKING ON/OFF SWITCH

• 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 correctly and are in working order.

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

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW

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) (counterclockwise) and turn the handwheel (B) clockwise. When the saw blade is at its desired

degree, tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise) until it is securely tightened. See figure 18-1

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.

ADJUSTING BLADE BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS

Figure 19-1

To adjust blade 90-degree blade bevel positive stop,

raise the saw blade (A) to its highest position. See

figure 19-1.

Using a combination square (B) check that the

blade is 90-degrees to the saw table (zero degrees on bevel scale). See figure 19-1.

Figure 19-2

To adjust blade 45-degree blade bevel positive stop,

raise the saw blade to its highest position.

Using a combination square (D) check that the

blade is 45-degrees to the saw table (45-degrees on bevel scale). See figure 19-2.

If the blade will not tilt to 45-degrees, turn (counter-

clockwise) the set screw (E) in the right hand side of the saw table until the blade can be positioned to 45-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 19-2.

If the blade has been tilted to 45-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.

BEVEL ARROW ADJUSTMENT

1. Make certain that the blade is at 90-degrees to the table surface with a combination square. See figure 19-1.

Figure 20-1

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 20-1.

To adjust arrow, loosen the Philips head screw (C)

and reposition the bevel arrow and tighten screw. See figure 20-1.

Raise the saw blade to its highest point.

Place a combination square (A) on the saw table

with one edge (B) of the square against the left miter slot (C). See Figure 20A-1.

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.

Lock the rule in this position.

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

Rotate the saw blade back so that you take the

measurement from the same spot on the saw blade. See Figure 20A-2.

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).

MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from

the power source.

Figure 20B-1

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

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.

To lock the fence from sliding side to side, push

down on the fence handle.

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.

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 ALIGN- MENT".

When blade is parallel to miter slot tighten all four hex head screws.

Recheck blade alignment.

Tilt the blade to 45 degrees, and rotate the saw blade by hand. Make sure the blade does not con-

tact the table insert.

ADJUSTING FENCE SLIDE
