tion activities 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 and cement and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lum-
ber.
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.

neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts of machine.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
© Sears, Roebuckand Co,
• 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.
• 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 in contact 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 all 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 HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool 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.
• 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.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, application and
specific limitations.
2
• 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.
If 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 kickback occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or
all of workpiece is thrown back violently toward operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the saw blade, out of
line with a possible kickback.
Kickbacks and possible injury from them can usually be avoid-
ed by:
• Maintaining rip fence parallel to saw blade.
• Keeping saw blade sharp. Replace or sharpen antikick-
back pawls when points become dull.
• Keeping saw blade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawls in place and operating properly. The spreader must
be in alignment with the saw blade and the pawls must
stop a kickback once it has started. Check their action
before ripping.
• Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
• Not releasing work until you have pushed it all the way
past the saw blade.
• Using a push stick for ripping widths less than 6 inches.
• Not confining the cutoff piece when ripping or crosscutting.
PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, BODY, EARS
• If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, or has
been damaged or broken (such as the motor switch, elec-
tronic controls, other operating control, a safety device or
power cord), cease operating immediately until the partic-
ular part is properly repaired or replaced.
• Wear safety goggles that comply with United States ANSI
Z87.1 and a face shield or dust mask if operation is dusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of 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 rabbetingireplace guard as soon
as that operation iscompleted.
• 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 lb,
page 4).
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.
• To prevent unauthorized use, lock the start switch using
provided padlock.
• 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 antikickback 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.
3
• Do not remove small pieces of cutoff material that may
become trapped inside the blade guard while the saw is
running. This could endanger your hands or cause kick-
back. Turn saw OFF and wait until blade stops.
• Use extra care when ripping wood with twisted grain or
wood that is twisted or bowediit may rock on table and
pinch saw blade.

KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
• Dull, gummy, improperly sharpened or set cutting tools can
cause material to stick, jam, stall saw, or kickback at oper-
ator. Minimize potential injury by proper care and machine
maintenance.
USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR SAW
• Crosscutting operations are worked more conveniently and
with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is attached
to miter gauge using holes provided. However, facing must
not interfere with proper functioning of saw blade guard.
• Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in normal operating position.
Also make sure the cutting tool, blade flange and arbor
nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting tool as low as
possible for the operation being performed. Keep all
guards in place whenever possible.
4
• Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for oper-
ating speed less than 4000 RPM. Never use a cutting tool
larger in diameter than diameter for which saw was
designed. For greatest safety and efficiency when ripping,
use maximum diameter blade for which saw is designed,
since under these conditions spreader is nearest the
blade.
• Adjust table inserts flush with table top. Never operate saw
unless proper insert is installed.
• Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of
the saw. An accident and serious injury could result.
THINK SAFETY
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alert-
ness at all times when the saw is being used.
Never use another person as a substitute for a table exten-
sion, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or
wider than basic saw table, or to assist in feeding, supporting
or pulling the workpiece.
Do not pull the workpiece through the saw blade--position
your body at the infeed side of the guard; start and complete
the cut from that same side. This will require added table sup-
port for long or wide workpieces that extend beyond the
length or width of the saw table.
CAUTION: Follow safety instructions that appear on the front
of your saw.

SAW INSTALLATION
Positioning the saw on a level surface (shimming may be
required) will improve stability and accuracy and prevent
warpage and failure of cast components and welds. Level the
saw using shims or machine mounts. The stationary saw base
is fitted with four mounting holes. The holes are located within
an orange recess. Use these holes to secure stationary saw
to the floor. This saw should be permanently fastened to the
floor. This will decrease vibration and increase stability.
DUST PORT ASSEMBLY

WARNING: Make certain that the saw is disconnected from
the power source.
• Attach the dust port (Key No. 14) to the opening in the bot-
tom rear of the cabinet with four ¼-20 x 1_,,screws (Key
No. 13).
HANDWHEEL ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 8.
WARNING: Make certain that the saw is disconnected from
the power source.
• Place one of the handwheels (Key No. 2) onto the blade
raise/lower shaft (Key No. 38) located on the front of the
cabinet. Align the groove in the back of the handwheel
with the pin.
• Thread the locking knob (Key No. 1) onto the threaded end
of the shaft.
• Repeat the steps above to assemble the remaining hand-
wheel and locking knob onto the bevel shaft located on
the side of the cabinet.
TOOL AND FENCE HOOK ASSEMBLY

head screws (Key No. 6).
• Assemble both tool hooks (Key No. 5) to the left side of
cabinet using two ¼-20 x %" round head screws (Key No.
3).
GRANITE EXTENSION TABLES
Refer to Figure 7.
WARNING: Make certain that the saw is disconnected from
the power source.
CAUTION: The granite extension table is heavy; two people
are required for assembly.
• Install two T-support bars (Key No. 7) into the T-slot under
main table (Key No. 12).
NOTE: Make sure the support bar is installed all the way into
the slot, under the main table.
• Thread three _-18 x 2" set screws (Key No. 4) into the
edge of the granite table.
• Thread the two M8 x 15 set screws (Key No. 8) into the
support bars. Thread screws up to, but NOT beyond, the
top surface of the bars.
• Find some help for lifting the extension table. Line up both
slots with the support bar until the extension table reaches
the main table. Make sure the three _-18 x 2" set screws
protrude into the extension table.
• Install flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts (Key Nos.
3, 5 and 6) onto set screws. Hand tighten only. Do not
tighten completely until tables are level.
• Repeat above procedure for the other extension table.
• Use a straight edge to check level and flatness between
main and extension tables.
• Use a 4mm hex wrench to adjust the set screws in support
bars to bring tables level and flat.
• After tables are adjusted level and flat, secure the exten-
sion tables by tightening the hex nuts completely.
CHECK TABLE ALIGNMENT
Refer to Figures 3 and 7.
• Saws are shipped from the factory with the table adjusted
so the miter gauge slots are parallel to the saw blade.
However, in order to obtain the best results from the saw, it
is suggested this adjustment be checked before operating.
• A simple method of checking alignment is as follows: Bolt
or clamp a dowel rod or similar object to miter gauge (a
combination square can be substituted). Pick out a tooth
on front of blade and set the dowel to it so it is just touch-
ing. Move same tooth to back of blade.
• Gauge this tooth with the dowel rod. If the tooth is in the
same position, relative to the miter gauge, the table is par-
allel with the blade. In short, the miter gauge slots must be
parallel with the blade. This means that when measuring
distance between blade and slot at the front and rear of
the blade, the distances will be equal (see Figure 3).
NOTE: Be positive to measure the distance or make the test
on the same tooth of the saw blade in both front and rear
positions.
• If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: (Refer
to Figures 3 and 7, page 7 and 18). Loosen the hex head
bolts and lock washers (Fig. 7, Nos. 5, 9 and 10) to the
table (Fig. 7, No. 12). Shift the table until a position is
found where the saw blade is parallel to the miter gauge
slots.
NOTE: Saw blade should also be centered within its table
insert opening.

knife and the saw blade should be an even distance
across the entire radius.
• The riving knife should also be in line with the saw blade. If
adjustment is necessary:
1. Locate the riving knife clamping block assembly (Key
No. 24).
2. Loosen the two socket head cap screws (Key No. 21)
slightly enough to move the bracket bringing the riving
knife in line with the saw blade making sure the gap

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW
Refer to Figure 7.
WARNING: Never operate saw without blade guards in
place. Be sure blade is not in contact with workpiece when
motor is started. Start motor and allow saw to come to full
speed.
WARNING: Make sure the electrical characteristics of motor
nameplate and power source are the same.
• The ON/OFF switch is located under the front rail of the
table saw at the left side.
• To turn saw on, stand to either side of the blade--never in
line with it. Push green ON button (Key No. 28). Always
allow saw blade to come up to full speed before cutting.
• Do not turn motor switch ON and OFF rapidly. This action
overheats the motor and may cause saw blade to loosen.
• Never leave saw while the power is on.
• To turn the table saw off, press the large red OFF paddle
(Key No. 26) or lift the paddle and press directly on the red
OFF button. Never leave saw until cutting tool has come to
a complete stop.
• The table saw has a resettable thermal overload relay
located on the side of the switch (Ref. No. 31). If the motor
shuts off during an operation, press the OFF button and
let the motor cool several minutes. Clear saw blade and
work area of debris. Push the button on the thermal over-
load relay to reset the relay.The motor can now be turned
on again.
WARNING: For your own safety, lower blade or cutting tool
below table surface. If blade is tilted, return it to vertical posi-
tion. Turn off safety disconnect or circuit breaker when saw is
not in use.
BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 8.
• Blade height is controlled by handwheel (Key 2) on the
front of the saw.
• To adjust height, loosen locking hand knob (Key No. 1).
Rotate knob counterclockwise approximately three turns.
Turn handwheel to desired blade height.
CAUTION: For safety, blade should be raised only 1/8"above
the surface of the material to be cut. However, if hollow
ground blades are used, raise blade to its maximum height to
allow for greater blade clearance.
• Lock blade height into position. Lock handwheel (Key No.
2) by tightening locking knob (Key No. 1) clockwise.
Tighten only until snug.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten. Only a small amount of
pressure is necessary to lock handwheel securely.
• The blade height mechanism has upper and lower limit
stops (Key Nos. 29 and 34). These limit stops are set at
the factory and need no further adjustment.
BLADE TILT ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 8.
• The saw blade can be set at any angle between 90° and
45°. Blade tilt is controlled by the handwheel (Key No. 2)
on the left side of the saw. The indicator (Key No. 20) on
front of saw shows the tilt angle of the blade.
• To adjust tilt, loosen locking hand knob (Key No. 1). Rotate
knob counterclockwise at least three turns. Turn handwheel
to desired blade angle. Lock blade angle into position.
Lock handwheel (Key No. 2) by tightening locking hand
knob (Key No. 2) clockwise. Tighten only until snug.
The saw is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45°.
These positive stops allow operator to position saw blade
at 90° and 45 ° quickly and accurately.
90 ° STOP ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figures 7 and 8.
• Raise saw blade above table as far as possible. Set blade
at 90° to table by turning the tilting handwheel. Place a
square on table and check to see if blade is perpendicular
to the table. When checking put square flush against saw
blade. Do not put square on teeth of saw blade.
• If the blade will not tilt to 90°, turn (counterclockwise) the
set screw (Fig. 7, Key No. 11) in the left miter slot of the
saw table until the blade can be positioned to 90°.
• Once the blade has been tilted to 90° (confirm this using
your square), tighten the bevel handwheel lock knob,
located on the side of the cabinet. This will keep the blade
from tilting further.
• Turn the set screw (clockwise) until it comes in contact
with the positive stop.
• Check tilt indicator pointer. If necessary, adjust pointer so it
points to 0° mark on scale. To adjust pointer, remove
handwheel and loosen screw (Fig. 8, Key No. 18). Be sure
to tighten screw securely after adjustment is completed.
45 ° STOP ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 7.
• Tilt the saw blade to 45°. Using a combination square,
check to see if blade is 45° to the table.
• If the blade will not tilt to 45°, turn (counterclockwise) the
set screw (Key No. 16) located just to the right of the right
miter slot, until the blade can be positioned to 45°.
• With the blade at 45 °, tighten the bevel handwheel lock
knob to keep the blade from further tilting.
• Turn the set screw clockwise until it comes in contact with
the positive stop.
TABLE INSERT ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 7.
• The table insert (Key No. 14) must always be level with the
saw table. To adjust the table insert, loosen and remove
table insert retaining bolts (Key No. 13).
• The table insert is equipped with a finger hold for easy
removal.
• Place a straight edge across the front and rear of the table
insert. Check that the insert is perfectly level with the saw
table.
• To level the table insert, turn the one or more adjusting set
screws (Key No. 15) as needed and recheck.
• Once the insert is level, secure the insert with the retaining
bolts removed in the first step.
MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT
• Miter gauge supplied with saw is equipped with individually
adjustable index stops at 0° and 45°, right and left, and
can be manually adjusted up to 60° right and left.
Adjustment to index stops can be made by loosening lock-
ing nut and tightening or loosening three adjusting screws.
Be sure to tighten locking nut after adjustment is made.
10
• Face of miter gauge has two holes for purpose of attach-
ing auxiliary facing.
• Miter gauge is accurately constructed for precision work.
Miter gauge is guided through T-slot with a roller guide
mounted at front of guide bar. Roller guide adds to miter
gauge's stability and prevents the guide bar from leaving
T-slot.
• To operate miter gauge, simply loosen lock handle and
move miter gauge to desired angle. The miter gauge will
stop at 0° and 45 °, both right and left. To position miter
gauge past these points, simply pull out gauge stop.
Position miter gauge at desired angle and tighten lock
handle.
• Be positive the edge of workpiece next to face of miter
gauge is straight and tight against miter gauge so that the
workpiece does not rock or rotate. Always use both hands
when operating the miter gauge.
• The miter gauge is used for cross-cutting, compound miter
cutting, miter cutting, rabbeting, bevel cutting and dadoing.
RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 9.
The saw's rip fence is precision manufactured, incorporating
fine adjustments for accurate cuts. The saw is built to allow
the operator to accurately adjust the rip fence without prob-
lems in a matter of seconds.
NOTE: Fence adjustments should be performed in the order
listed in this manual.
ADJUSTING THE REAR FOOT ASSEMBLY
• Make sure that the rear foot assembly (Key No. 39) rests
on the rear rail (Key No. 12).
• If the rear foot assembly does not rest on the rear rail,
loosen the block screw (Key No. 37) and slide the foot
assembly forwards or backwards until the foot rests on the
rear rail.
• Retighten the block screw to secure foot in position.
SETTING FENCE PARALLEL
Refer to Figure 9.
NOTE: Before setting the parallelism of the fence, it is critical
that the blade is parallel with the miter slots in the table. See
"Check Table Alignment", page 6.
• Unlock and position the fence so that the two front set
screws (Key No. 18) are aligned with the "windows" in the
front rail (Key No. 2). These windows allow access to the
set screws while fence is on the guide tube.
• Lock the fence in position and place a combination square
against the right edge of the right miter slot at the front of
the table.
• Extend the blade of the combination square that it just
touches the left side of the rip fence. Note the measure-
ment.
• Move the combination square to the rear of the table and
measure the distance from the miter slot to the fence. It
should be equal to the measurement taken previously. If
measurements are not equal, proceed to the next step.
• Unlock the fence and adjust one of the set screws using
provided hex wrench. Wrench can be inserted through the
back side of the window in the front rail.
• Lock the fence down and retake the measurements taken
previously. Repeat until both measurements are equal.
NOTE: The clamping pressure may need to be re-adjusted
after setting fence parallel.
SETTING FENCE PERPENDICULAR
Refer to Figure 9.
• Position fence anywhere on table and lock it down.
• Place a square on the table next to the fence and check to
see that the fence is at 90° to the table.
• If an adjustment is necessary, unlock the fence and turn
either of the two top adjusting screws (Key No. 18).
• Lock the fence in position and recheck. Continue this pro-
cedure until the fence is square to the table.
LEVELING THE FENCE TO THE TABLE
• Lift the lock handle (Key No. 15) to unlock the fence.
• Observe the space between the fence bottom and the
table. The space should be equal along the entire length
of the fence.
• The rear foot assembly (Key No. 39) and the top adjusting
screws (Key No. 18) are both used to level the fence.
Adjust whichever one is necessary until the fence is level
with the table.
• Once fence is level, tighten hex nut (Key No. 38) to secure
fence in position.
SETTING CLAMPING PRESSURE
Rip fence has been adjusted at the factory to lock securely
when the lock handle is pushed down. To adjust:
• Unlock fence and remove it from the guide tube.
• Adjust the two front adjusting screws (Key No. 18)
EQUALLY until the fence is held securely when the lock
handle is pushed down,
CURSOR ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 9.
• Raise the saw blade above the table.
• Position the fence several inches to the right of the saw
blade.
• Lock the fence down and measure the exact distance
between the saw blade and the inside of the fence.
• Loosen the two screws (Key No. 31) on the lens and slide
it left or right until the cursor (red line) equals the mea-
surement obtained in the previous step.
• Retighten the screws and make a test cut. Measure the
cut piece to verify that the cursor is set correctly.
NOTE: This adjustment should be checked whenever a new
blade is installed.
RAIL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 9.
To eliminate excessive play in the fence as it rides along the
guide tube:
• Unlockthe fence.
• Pull fence body towards the front of the saw.
11
• Tighten the two front adjustment screws (Key No. 18) until
they just touch the guide tube, and then back them off
about 1/4 turn. This should set the proper amount of play
in the fence.
• Check the fence movement. Readjust if needed.
RIP FENCE OPERATION
Refer to Figure 10.
• Unlock the fence by lifting the locking lever (Key No. 15).
Using the scale for placement, position the rip fence. Lock
the rip fence into position by placing the locking lever in
the down position.
• The rip fence is used for the following operations: ripping,
bevel ripping, ploughing, resawing, rabbeting and dadoing.
WARNING: For your own safety, always observe the follow-
ing safety precautions.
• Never make any cut freehand (without using miter gauge
or rip fence). Blade can bind in the cut and cause a kick-
back.
• Always lock miter gauge or rip fence securely when in use.
• Remove rip fence from the table when miter gauge is in
use.
• Remove miter gauge from table when rip fence is in use.
• Make sure blade guard is installed for all '_hru sawing"
operations. Replace guard immediately after completion of
resawing, rabbeting and dadoing.
Frequently check action of antikickback pawls by passing
the workpiece alongside the spreader while saw is off. Pull
the workpiece toward you. If the pawls do not dig into the
workpiece and hold it, the pawls must be sharpened. (See
Maintenance section, page 13.)
• Have blade extend approximately 1/81tabove top of work-
piece. Additional blade exposure increases hazard poten-
tial.
• Do not stand directly in front of blade in case of a kick-
back. Stand to either side of the blade.
• Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of
the blade.
• If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn switch OFF
and safety disconnect OFF before attempting to free the
blade.
• Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the work-
piece through the cut, to support long or heavy work-
pieces, to remove small cut-off pieces of material or for
any other reason.
• Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. Remove them by pushing them off table with a long
stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the
rear of the blade.
• Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
become trapped inside blade guard while saw is on. This
could endanger your hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw
off. After blade has stopped turning, lift guard and remove
the piece.
• Always lower blade below the table level when machine is
not in use.
TYPES OF CUTS/OPERATIONS
CROSSCUTTING
Performed with miter gauge set at "0". Crosscutting is known
as cutting work across the grain at 90°, or square with both
the edge and the flat side of the wood.
MITER CUTTING
Performed with miter gauge, is known as cutting wood at an
angle other than 90° with the edge of the wood.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
Performed with miter gauge, is same as crosscutting except
that the wood is also cut at an angle other than 90° with the
flat side of the wood (blade is at an angle).
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
Performed with miter gauge, is a combination of miter cutting
and bevel crosscutting. Cut is made at angle other than 90° to
both the edge and flat side of wood.
RIPPING
Performed with rip fence, is known as cutting a piece of wood
with the grain or lengthwise. Position the fence to the desired
width of rip and lock in place. When ripping long boards or
large panels always use a work support.
BEVEL RIPPING
Performed with rip fence, the same as ripping. However, blade
is set at an angle other than 90°.
RESAWlNG
Performed with rip fence, is known as ripping a piece of wood
through its thickness. Do not attempt to resaw bowed or
warped material.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove blade guard and use
work supports as well as push blocks when performing this
operation.
WARNING: Install blade guard immediately upon completion
of resawing operation.
PLOUGHING
Performed with rip fence, is grooving with grain long way of
workpiece. Use proper hold downs and feed devices.
RABBETING
Performed with either miter gauge or rip fence. Rabbeting is
known as cutting out a section of the corner of a piece of
material, across an end or along an edge. To make a rabbet
requires cuts which do not go all the way through the materi-
al. Therefore, blade guard must be removed. Install blade
guard immediately upon completion of rabbeting operation.
Rabbet cuts can also be made using dado head.
DADOING
Performed with either miter gauge or rip fence. Dadoing is
done with a set of blades (dado set) rather than standard saw
blades. The dado set is used to groove wood similar to
ploughing and rabbeting. However, the dado set allows opera-
tor to remove more material in one pass. The operator, with a
dado set, can vary width of cut up to 1_,,.
Instructions for operating dado set are contained in owner's
manual furnished with dado set. Dadoing requires cuts which
do not go all the way through material. Therefore, blade guard
must be removed. Dado sets have different characteristics
than saw blades. As a result, saw must be fitted with special
parts that are available for saw (dado table insert).
12
The Craftsman stationary saw dado set maximum capacity is
% I.D. x 8" O.D. x _6" width.
IMPORTANT: Always use correct insert. When using the dado
set, use caution. Use featherboards and push sticks as applic-
able.
WARNING: Always immediately replace the standard blade,
blade guard and blade insert when you are finished dadoing.
CUTTING OVERSIZED WORKPIECES
When cutting long workpieces or large panels, always support
workpiece that is not on table. Use rear outfeed table exten-
sion or make simple support by clamping a piece of plywood
to saw horse. Add facings to miter gauge or rip fence as
needed.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow facings to interfere with operation
of blade guard.
DUST COLLECTING
• Saw is fitted with a 4" male exhaust port.
• Use of a dust collector is recommended.
• Be certain motor and internal mechanisms are clean and
are frequently vacuumed or blown free of any dirt.
LUBRICATION
All bearings on the arbor are shielded ball bearings. These
bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory.
• As needed, clean the grease off the rack and worm gears
of height and tilt mechanism. Lubricate rack and gears
with a medium viscosity machine oil.
• Be sure to lubricate trunnion ways and all bushings.
• Occasionally oil all other bearing points, including blade
guard assembly, miter gauge and rip fence.
SERVICE
• Replace belts and worn parts as needed. If power cords
are worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have them
replaced immediately.
• Make sure teeth of antikickback pawls are always sharp.
• Sharpen dull teeth using a few light strokes of a smooth
cut flat file.
BLADE SELECTION
Blade selection is based on type of material being cut and
how it will be cut. There are three general types of saw
blades: rip saw blades cut with grain of wood, cut-off saw
blades cut across grain, and combination saw blades cut with
grain, across grain and any angle to grain.
Blades vary in many aspects. When selecting a blade, the fol-
lowing blade characteristics should match up with operation to
be performed and type of material to be cut: type of steel;
quality of steel; tooth style; tooth set; carbide tipped; grind;
number of teeth and size.
IMPORTANT: Your saw is only as accurate and efficient as
blade or cutting tool used.
First, be certain to use the appropriate type of cutting tool for
the operation to be performed. Second, it is strongly recom-
mended that high-quality blades and cutting tools be used. Be
certain blades and cutting tools are kept sharp and in good
working order. Check blades periodically and replace or
sharpen if necessary.
WARNING: Do not attempt under any circumstances, to
service, repair, dismantle, or disassemble any mechanical
or electrical components without physically disconnecting all
power sources.
CLEANING
• Clean off any preservative on bright (machined) parts with
appropriate solvent (mineral spirits). Avoid getting cleaning
fluid on any rubber parts as they tend to deteriorate rub-
ber.
• Use soap and soft water on rubber and plastic parts.
• After cleaning, lubricate unpainted surfaces with a light
application of medium consistency machine oil.This lubri-
cation should be repeated at least once every six months.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the granite table.
• Keep your machine and your workshop clean. Do not allow
sawdust to accumulate on saw or inside cabinet.
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust that may
accumulate within cabinet.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
Refer to Figures 7 and 8.
NOTE: Any replacement blades must have a body thickness
less than the thickness of the riving knife/splitter. The kerf
width (width of cut made by the blade) must be greater than
the thickness of the riving knife/splitter. Check markings on
riving knife/splitter and on blade or blade packaging.
WARNING: Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the
power cord from its power source when changing the saw
blade.
WARNING: USE ONLY 10" diameter blades with 5/8 arbor
holes, rated at or higher than 3800 R.P.M.
• Raise saw blade to maximum height.
• Remove the table insert retaining bolts and table insert
(Fig. 7, Key Nos. 13 and 14).
• Remove blade guard/splitter or riving knife (Fig. 7, Key
Nos. 25 and 40).
• Two wrenches are supplied with the saw (Fig. 8, Key Nos
66 and 67). Place open-end wrench on the flat of the
arbor (Fig. 8, No. 56). Place box wrench on the arbor nut
(Fig. 8, Key No. 59) and loosen nut. Remove nut, flange
and blade (Fig. 8, Key Nos. 57, 58 and 59).
• Place new blade on arbor. Make sure blade teeth points
down at the front side of blade. Place flange and nut on
arbor and securely snug blade in position.
• Replace blade guard/splitter or riving knife.
• Replace table insert and tighten the table insert retaining
bolts.
