Additional Safety for Table Saws

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during operation. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike operators or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep hands

away from saw blade and out of blade path during operation, so they cannot accidentally slip into blade. Only operate at front of machine and always stand to side of blade path. Never reach behind or over blade, or under blade guard when blade is spinning.

BLADE GUARD. The blade guard protects operator from rotating saw blade. Make sure blade guard is installed, adjusted correctly, and used for all possible “through cuts.” Promptly repair or replace if damaged. Re-install immediately after operations that require its removal.

RIVING KNIFE. Use riving knife for all “nonthrough cuts.” Make sure it is aligned and positioned correctly. Promptly repair or replace it if damaged.

KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when saw blade ejects workpiece back toward operator. Know how to reduce risk of kickback, and learn how to protect yourself if it does occur.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding workpiece incorrectly increases risk of kickback. Always allow blade to reach full speed before cutting, feed workpiece from front of saw, making sure workpiece is flat against table and a fence, miter gauge, or other guide is used to feed workpiece in a straight line. Feed cuts through to completion. Never start saw with workpiece touching blade or pull workpiece from behind blade. Never back workpiece out of cut, move it sideways, or perform a “freehand” operation. Never plunge cut.

PUSH STICKS/PUSH BLOCKS. To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, use push sticks/ push blocks whenever possible. In event of an accident, these will often take damage that would have occurred to hands/fingers.

FENCE. To reduce risk of kickback, make sure fence remains properly adjusted and parallel with blade. Always lock fence before using. Do not use fence while using miter gauge. Make sure fence is not touching the blade when the saw is started.

CUT-OFF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to completely stop before removing cut-off pieces near blade or trapped between blade and table insert. Never use your hands to move cut-off pieces away from blade while saw is running.

BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting blade height or tilt during operation increases risk of crashing blade and sending metal fragments flying with deadly force at operator or bystanders. Only adjust blade height and tilt when blade is completely stopped and saw is OFF. Make sure blade is not touching the guard, riving knife, or workpiece before the saw is started.

CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while changing saw blade can result in serious injury. To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, always disconnect power before changing blades.

DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Damaged saw blade teeth can become deadly projectiles. Never use blades that have been dropped or damaged.

DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. Dado and rabbeting operations require special attention since they must be performed with blade guard removed, which increases risk of blade contact. DO NOT attempt dado or rabbeting operations without first reading these sections in this manual.

Model G0899 (Mfd. Since 10/20)

CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Cutting metal, glass, stone, tile, etc., increases risk of operator injury due to kickback or flying particles. Only cut natural and man-made wood products, laminatecovered wood products, and some plastics. Never cut materials not intended for this saw.

-11-

Preventing Kickback

Below are ways to avoid the most common causes of kickback:

• Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut warped, cupped or twisted wood.

• Keep the blade guard installed and working correctly for all through cuts.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece is not fed parallel with the blade, kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or miter gauge to guide the workpiece.

• Never move the workpiece backwards or try to back it out of a cut while the blade is moving. If you cannot complete a cut for some reason, stop the saw motor and allow the blade to completely stop before backing the workpiece out. Promptly fix the condition that prevented you from completing the cut before starting the saw again.

Protecting Yourself

From Kickback

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it may still happen. Here are some ways to protect yourself if kickback DOES occur:

• Make sure the spreader or riving knife is aligned with the blade and secured tightly. A misaligned spreader or riving knife can cause the workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the chance of kickback.

• Take the time to check and adjust the rip fence parallel with the blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback are extreme.

• The spreader or riving knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance of kickback. Always use the riving knife for all non-through operations, unless a dado blade is installed. Always use the spreader with the blade guard for all through cuts.

• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly increased.

• Keep the blade guard installed and in good working order. Only remove it when performing non-through cuts and immediately re-install the blade guard when finished. Remember, always use the riving knife for all non-through operations, unless a dado blade is installed.

• Make multiple, shallow passes when performing a non-through cut. Making a deep non-through cut will greatly increase the chance of kickback.

• Stand to the side of the blade during every cut. If kickback does occur, the thrown workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.

• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the event of kickback, your eyes and face are the most vulnerable part of your body.

• Never, for any reason, place your hand behind the blade or under blade guard. Should kickback occur, your hand could be pulled into the blade, which could cause amputation.

• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther away from the moving blade. If kickback occurs, the push stick will most likely take the damage your hand would have received.

• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices to assist with feeding and prevent or slow down kickback.

Statistics show that most common accidents among table saw users can be linked to kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion of stock from the table saw toward its operator. In addition to the danger of the operator or others in the area being struck by the flying stock, it is often the case that the operator’s hands are pulled into the blade during kickback.

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

This machine can be converted to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the requirements listed below. (Refer to Voltage Conversion

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

process. DO NOT connect to power until

For 115V operation: This machine is equipped

with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (see following figure). The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

For 230V operation: The plug specified under “ ous page has a grounding prong that must be attached to the equipment-grounding wire inside the included power cord. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see following figure) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/ dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust-collection system.

Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 500 CFM +

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from kickback because the blade guard must be removed. However, the riving knife MUST be installed because it still provides some protection.

IMPORTANT:

with a dado blade, do not attempt to cut the full depth in one pass. Instead, take multiple light passes to reduce the load on the blade.

A dado blade smaller than 10

will require removal of the riving knife, because the riving knife will be higher than the blade.

A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock, as shown in the

Blade Guard

Assembly

The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that consists of the clear polycarbonate shield and dust enclosure, the spreader, and the antikickback pawls on each side of the spreader (see Figure 50). Each of these components have important safety functions during the operation of the saw.

Spreader

Guard

The clear polycarbonate guard allows the operator to see the blade cut the workpiece during operation. This guard is designed to lift as the workpiece is pushed into the blade and remain in contact with the workpiece throughout the entire cut.

The guard reduces injury risk by providing a barrier around the blade that prevents accidental contact and contains flying wood chips.

Arbor Nut Threads

Flange

Figure 49. Flange and arbor nut joined.

-34-

To ensure that the guard does its job effectively, the guard must always be in the downward position against the table during idle operation, and the hinge mechanism must be maintained in good working condition so the guard can freely pivot up and down to accommodate the height of the workpiece and return to the table surface.

Model G0899 (Mfd. Since 10/20)

Spreader

The spreader is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback.

The spreader also acts as a barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled into the blade if a kickback occurs.

In order to work properly, the spreader cannot be bent or misaligned with the blade. If the spreader gets accidentally bent, take the time to straighten it or just replace it. Using a bent or misaligned spreader will increase the risk of kickback! Refer to Page 69 to check or adjust alignment if necessary.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

The anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards, such as during a kickback, the pawls will dig into the workpiece to slow or stop it.

To work properly, the pawls must return to their resting position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 55, and they must NOT be engaged in the arresting hooks.

Disabling Pawls

You might disable the pawls if you are concerned about them scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding difficulty or loss of control. Use your best judgment before retracting the pawls, as they are provided for your safety.

We do not recommend disabling pawls during normal operations unless absolutely necessary. In most situations, disabling pawls will increase your risk of serious personal injury in event of a kickback. Do not remove pawls from spreader.

The pawls are sharp and can lacerate fingers or hands. Use caution, and wear leather gloves when handling the pawls to reduce risk of injury.

Enabling Pawls

To enable the pawls, lift up on each pawl and move them outward and down until they both touch the table surface, as shown in Figure 55 on Page 36.

When to Use the Blade Guard

The blade guard assembly MUST always be installed on the saw for all normal through cuts (those where the blade cuts all the way through the thickness of the workpiece). If the blade guard is removed for specific operations, always immediately replace it after those operations are complete.

When Not to Use the Blade Guard

The blade guard cannot be used on any nonthrough cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

IMPORTANT: Whenever the blade guard cannot be used, the riving knife must be installed.

To disable pawls:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Rotate one or both arresting hooks down-

ward, then place pawls on each of the hooks, as shown in Figure 56.

Riving Knife

The riving knife works in the same manner as the spreader on the blade guard assembly. It is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback.

The key difference between the spreader and the riving knife is that the riving knife mounts below the blade's highest point of rotation, as shown in Figure 57.

Minimum 1mm

Maximum 5mm

Figure 57. Height difference between riving knife

and blade.

Height Difference

To ensure that riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to blade. Refer to Page 69 to check or adjust riving knife alignment.

How to Install the Riving Knife

The riving knife is installed in a similar manner to the blade guard and spreader. Refer to Blade Guard Assembly on Page 34 for installation instructions.

When to Use the Riving Knife

Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts made with a standard table saw blade (i.e., dadoes or rabbet cuts, and when using a tenoning jig), or when using a 10" diameter dado blade.

Also, use the riving knife for those special operations where the blade guard or its components get in the way of safe operation, such as with very narrow cuts.

The height difference between the riving knife and the blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

The riving knife acts as a barrier behind the blade to reduce the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if a kickback occurs.

The riving knife must be kept within the range shown in Figure 58. For that reason, we only recommend using a 10" blade for operations that require use of the riving knife.

Top Distance

Minimum 3mm Maximum 8mm

When Not to Use the Riving Knife

DO NOT use the riving knife with a dado blade that has a diameter smaller than 10" in diameter. Otherwise, the riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing the operator into a dangerous situation of trying to turn the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the cut.

In addition, although it is possible to use the riving knife for through cutting operations, the blade guard assembly offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use the blade guard assembly with spreader instead of the riving knife for through cuts.

Ripping

"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of a natural wood workpiece. In man-made materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping means cutting lengthwise.

Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed ejection of stock from table saw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or operator’s hands can be pulled into blade during kickback.

To make a rip cut:

Crosscutting Miter Cuts

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of a natural wood workpiece, usually with a miter saw. In other man-made materials, such as MDF or plywood, crosscutting means cutting across the width of the workpiece.

To make a crosscut using miter gauge:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.

To avoid kickback, move rip fence aside and

position miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.

Adjust blade height so teeth protrude no

more than 1⁄4" above workpiece.

Slide miter gauge near blade and adjust

workpiece so blade will cut on waste side of line.

A miter is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually cut in the same manner as crosscuts, using the miter gauge and a predetermined mark on the workpiece.

To perform a miter cut:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.

Determine angle of cut. If angle needs to be

very precise, use a protractor to set miter gauge to blade.

Place face of miter gauge against edge

of workpiece and place bar across face of workpiece. Use bar as a guide to mark your cut, as shown in Figure 62.

Plug in table saw, turn it ON, and allow it to

reach full speed.

Hold workpiece firmly against face of miter

gauge (as shown in Figure 61), and ease it through blade until workpiece is completely past saw blade.

Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes are "non-through" cuts that can be made with a dado blade or a standard saw blade. The

Figure

shows a cutaway view of a dado cut

being made with a dado blade.

When the blade tilt collar bolts are properly adjusted (as described starting on Page 65), the blade tilt handwheel allows the operator to tilt the blade to the left, between 0° and 45°. This is used most often when cutting bevels, compound miters, or chamfers. Figure 63 shows an example of the blade when tilted to 45°.

The Model G0899 can accommodate dado blades up to 8" in diameter. However, you MUST install the included riving knife while using a 8" diameter dado blade, as it provides a barrier behind the blade and reduces the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs.

DO NOT use the riving knife if you install a dado blade smaller than 8" in diameter. Otherwise, the riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing the operator into a dangerous situation and trying to turn the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the cut.

DO NOT make through cuts with a dado blade. The extra width of a dado blade will increase the risk of kickback during a through cut. Dado blades are only intended for non-through cuts. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury.

Never try to cut a warped board by holding it down against the table. If kickback occurs, your hand could be pulled into the blade, resulting in accidental contact with the rotating blade, causing severe lacerations or amputation.

dado blade.

Model G0899 (Mfd. Since 10/20)

-41-

The Figure below demonstrates the sequential process of making multiple, light cuts that get progressively deeper. The actual number of cuts used should be determined by workpiece hardness, total dado depth, and feed rate. In general, if you hear the motor slow down during the cut, you are cutting too deep or feeding too fast. Slow down!

Cutting Dadoes with a Dado Blade

Because dado blades are much wider than standard blades, they place a greater amount of force against the workpiece when cutting. This additional force increases the risk of kickback, requiring the operator to take additional steps when cutting to keep their injury risk at an acceptable level.

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut. To minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve the desired cutting depth.

To cut a dado with a dado blade:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Adjust dado blade to desired depth of cut.

Adjust distance between fence and inside

3. edge of blade, as shown in Figure 64 on Page 41, to dado length of a workpiece.

— If dadoing across workpiece, use miter

gauge and carefully line up desired cut with dado blade. To reduce kickback, DO NOT use fence in combination with miter gauge.

Reconnect saw to power source.

5. Turn saw ON. Blade should run smoothly,

with no vibrations.

Rabbet Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade.

Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece with a dado blade requires a sacrificial fence (see Figure 69). Make the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and to the fence with screws or clamps, making sure they are all secure and tight. Raise the blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed.

Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require that blade guard be removed from saw. ALWAYS replace blade guard after dadoing is complete.

Cutting Rabbets with a Standard Blade

A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently. (See Page 31 for blade details.) Also, a sacrificial fence is not required when cutting rabbets with a standard blade.

Resawing

Resawing operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when resawing. Any tilting or movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT place a tall board on edge to perform a rabbet cut with a standard blade. Workpieces that are too tall to properly support with fence can easily shift during operation and cause kickback. Instead, place stock flat on saw and perform rabbet cut with a dado blade, as instructed on Page 43.

Reconnect saw to power source, then per-

form cut.

Lay workpiece flat on table, as shown in

7. Figure 72, adjust saw blade height to inter-

sect with first cut, then perform second cut to complete rabbet.

Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that you use a bandsaw instead.

A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table saw is not intended for resawing, and resawing with one is difficult and dangerous due to the increased risk of kickback from binding and deep cuts, and the increased risk of injury from having to remove the guard.

If you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT do so without using a resaw barrier and wearing a full face shield. The following instructions describe how to build a resaw barrier and add an auxiliary fence to your standard fence, to reduce the risk injury from resawing on a table saw.

Note: To determine the maximum resawing height for this table saw, find the maximum blade height,

then double it and subtract

⁄8".

Making Resaw Barrier

When resawing, the resaw barrier acts in tandem with the rip fence to provide tall support for the workpiece. This minimizes the probability of it binding against the blade and causing kickback.

Making Auxiliary Fence

An auxiliary fence is necessary if you are resawing a workpiece that is taller than it is wide. The fence should be no less than to be resawn.

stick or push block to feed workpiece through blade, using a slow and steady feed rate.

Note: We recommend making a series of

light cuts that get progressively deeper, to reduce the chance of stalling the motor.

Flip workpiece end-for-end, keeping same

side against fence, and run workpiece through blade.

The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

SECTION 5: SHOP MADE SAFETY

ACCESSORIES

Featherboards

We recommend using a bandsaw for mak-

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback, especially when used together with push sticks. They also maintain pressure on the workpiece to keep it against the fence or table while cutting, which makes the operation easier and safer because the cut can be completed without the operator’s hands getting near the blade. The angled ends and flexibility of the fingers allow the workpiece to move in only one direction.

Making a Featherboard

This sub-section covers the two basic types of featherboards: 1) Those secured by clamps, or 2) those secured with the miter slot.

ing fingers in the next step because it tends to be safer. A table saw can be used, but it will over-cut the underside of the ends, produce a thicker kerf, and require you to stop the blade half-way through the cut, which can be dangerous.

Make a series of end cuts with the grain

⁄8"–1⁄4" apart and 2"–3" long, as shown in

Figure 79 (A). Alternatively, start cuts at 2"-3" deep, then make them progressively deeper, as shown in Figure 79 (B).

To make a featherboard:

Cut a hardwood board approximately 3⁄4" thick

to size. The length and width of the board can vary according to your design. Most featherboards are 10"–28" long and 3"–6" wide. Make sure the wood grain runs parallel with the length of the featherboard, so the fingers you will create in Step 3 will bend without breaking.

Cut a 30º angle at one end of the board.

IMPORTANT: Cuts made across the grain result

in weak fingers that easily break when flexed. When made correctly, the fingers should withstand flexing from moderate pressure. To test the finger flexibility, push firmly on the ends with your thumb. If the fingers do not flex, they are likely too thick (the cuts are too far apart).

Tip: Consider making miter bar longer for

Note: The routed slot, countersink hole, and

flat head screw are essential for miter bar to clamp into miter slot. When wing nut is tightened, it will draw flat head screw upward into countersunk hole. This will spread sides of miter bar and force them into walls of miter slot, locking featherboard in place.

Tip: The length of the flat head screw depends

on thickness of featherboard—though 1

Optional: If cutting long workpieces, it may

be beneficial to use a second featherboard attached to fence to keep board firmly against table while feeding.

Position fingered edge of featherboard

against edge of workpiece, so that all fingers contact workpiece. Slide featherboard toward blade until first finger is nearly even with end of workpiece, which should be 1" away from blade.

Double-check workpiece and featherboard

to ensure they are properly positioned, as described in Step 4. Then secure featherboard to table. Check featherboard by hand to make sure it is tight.

Note: The featherboard should be placed

firmly enough against workpiece to keep it against fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed workpiece.

Model G0899 (Mfd. Since 10/20)

Push Sticks

When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push stick can also absorb damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.

Using a Push Stick

Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12" of the blade. To maintain control when cutting large workpieces, start the cut by feeding with your hands then use push sticks to finish the cut, so your hands are not on the end of the workpiece as it passes through the blade.

Feeding: Place the notched end of the push stick against the end of the workpiece (see Figure 86 below), and move the workpiece into the blade with steady downward and forward pressure.

Supporting: A second push stick can be used to keep the workpiece firmly against the fence while cutting. When using a push stick in this manner, only apply pressure before the blade; otherwise, pushing the workpiece against or behind the blade will increase the risk of kickback (see Push Stick Prohibition Zone in Figure 85 below).

Push Blocks

When used correctly, a push block reduces the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push block often takes the damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.

Using a Push Block

A push block can be used in place of or in addition to a push stick for feeding workpieces into the blade. Due to their design, push blocks allow the operator to apply firm downward pressure on the workpiece that could not otherwise be achieved with a push stick.

The notched end of the push block is then used to push the workpiece the rest of the way through the cut, keeping the operator's hands at a safe distance from the blade. A push stick is often used at the same time in the other hand to support the workpiece during the cut (see Using a Push Stick on previous page).

The push block design on this page can be used in two different ways (see Figure 88 below). Typically, the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the workpiece reaches the blade.

Outfeed & Support

Tables

One of the best accessories for improving the safety and ease of using a table saw is simply placing a large table (outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece (see Figure 97). Additionally, another table to the left of the saw (support table) can also help support large workpieces so they can be cut safely and accurately.

Crosscut Sled

A crosscut sled (see Figure 98) is a fantastic way to improve the safety and accuracy of crosscutting on the table saw.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Cleaning &

To prevent serious personal injury from shock or accidental startup, always disconnect power from machine before doing any maintenance.

Schedule

For optimum performance from this machine, this maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.

Ongoing

To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper machine operation, shut down the machine immediately if you ever observe any of the items below, and fix the problem before continuing operations:

• Loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.

• Damaged saw blade.

Worn or damaged wires.

•

Any other unsafe condition.

•

Protecting

Cleaning the Model G0899 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Protect the unpainted cast-iron table by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on the bare metal surface. Keep the table rust-free with regular applications of products like G96 SLIPIT

G5562—SLIPIT G5563—SLIPIT G2871—Boeshield G2870—Boeshield H3788—G96 H3789—G96

Lubrication

It is essential to clean components before lubricating them because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make them hard to move. Simply adding more grease to them will not yield smooth moving components.

Clean the components in this section with an oil/ grease solvent cleaner and shop rags.

Worm Gear, Bull Gear & Leadscrew

Lubrication Type Amount Lubrication Frequency

Clean away any built up grime and debris from the worm gear, bull gear, and leadscrew (see Figures 110 –111) with a wire brush, rags, and mineral spirits. Allow the components to dry, then apply a thin coat of grease to them.

Miter Slot to Blade

Parallelism

Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted parallel to the blade. If either of these are not exactly parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback will be increased.

3. With end of adjustable square just touching

tip, lock square in place. Now, mark carbide tip with a marker where you made this measurement.

The saw blade is sharp. Use extra care or wear gloves when handling the blade or working near it.

8. Tilt blade to 45° and recheck miter slot-to-

blade parallelism.

— If blade is still parallel with miter slot, no

additional adjustments need to be made.

— If blade is parallel with miter slot at 0° but

not at 45°, one end of table will need to be shimmed higher with metal shim stock. Continue to Step 9.

11. Tighten one table mounting bolt a small

amount and then repeat with the others, tightening each down the same amount. Continue this process with all the bolts, tightening them a little each time until they are all secure.

12. Now recheck blade to miter slot at 0° and 45° by repeating Steps 2-5.

— If distance of A and B are equal, continue

to Step 13.

— If distances are not equal, repeat

Steps 9–12.

Belt Tension &

Replacement

The drive belt stretches slightly as the saw is used. Most of the belt stretching will happen during the first 16 hours of use, but it may continue through continued use. If you notice that the belt is slipping, it will need to be tensioned. If the belt is cracked, frayed, or shows other signs of excessive wear, it will need to be replaced.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
