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", except for dadoes. 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.

-10-

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.

Model G0962 (Mfd. Since 09/24)

Page 13

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.

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.

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.)

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.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to 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.

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 instructions for details.)

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

For 120V 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 240V operation: The plug specified under "

on the previous page has a grounding prong that must be attached to the equipment-grounding wire on 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.

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding requirements for this machine.

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

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension 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:

Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before they are safe to cut.

Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following:

• Material Type: This machine is intended for

cutting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementitious backer board creates extremely fine dust and may reduce the life of the bearings. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a table saw may lead to injury.

• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks

and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause kickback, or break the blade, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.

seriously injured by this machine risk increases with unsupervised operation.

machine unattended! Place key in a wellhidden or secure location.

NOTICE

The padlock shaft diameter is important to the disabling function of the switch. With any padlock used to lock the switch, test the switch after installation to ensure that it is properly disabled.

Figure 37. Minimum lock shaft requirements.

• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can

become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Choose workpieces that do not have large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting through them.

• Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with a

moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blades, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.

• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with exces-

sive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these characteristics!

• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cup-

ping can be safely supported if the cupped side is facing the table or the fence. On the contrary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side will rock during a cut and could cause kickback or severe injury.

Model G0962 (Mfd. Since 09/24)

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, when making these cuts with a standard blade, the riving knife MUST be installed because it still provides some protection.

IMPORTANT: When making non-through cuts with a dado blade, the riving knife MUST be removed. Do not attempt to cut the full depth in one pass. Instead, take multiple light passes to reduce the load on the blade.

A through cut is a sawing operation in which the workpiece is completely sawn through, as shown in the

. Examples of through cuts are rip cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, and beveled cuts. The blade guard assembly MUST be used when performing through cuts.

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

Chip

Blade

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.

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 47). Each of these components have important safety functions during the operation of the saw.

Spreader/Riving Knife

The spreader/riving knife is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the back side of the blade, causing kickback.

The spreader/riving knife also acts as a barrier behind the blade, which can help prevent hands from being pulled into the blade in certain situations if a kickback occurs.

Clear Shield

Spreader

Anti-Kickback

Pawl

Figure 47. Blade guard assembly components.

Blade 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.

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

Installing Blade Guard & Spreader/ Riving Knife

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Remove table insert, but leave Phillips head

screws mounted in table throat.

Raise blade all the way up.

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.

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 (see Figure 52).

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.

To disable pawls:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Pawl

Figure 52. Example of pawls in resting position.

If the pawls fail to return to the resting position, the pivot area may need to be cleaned or the spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need to be fixed/replaced.

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 the event of a kickback.

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

Whenever blade guard cannot be used, spreader/riving knife must be installed.

2. Remove cap screw, locking hex nut, wash-

ers, pawls, and retaining spring from blade guard assembly (see Figure 53).

Figure 53. Example of pawls removed.

Enabling Pawls

To enable the pawls, re-install retaining spring, pawls, washers, cap screw, and locking hex nut onto blade guard assembly. Do not overtighten.

When to Use 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 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). Sometimes the blade guard or its components can get in the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or other specialized cuts. Because the blade guard is provided to decrease your risk of injury, it should not be used if it gets in the way of making a safe cut. Use good judgment!

Riving Knife

The spreader also functions as a riving knife, which works in the same manner as the spreader, but is used for non-through cuts. It is a metal plate that prevents newly cut workpieces from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback.

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

Figure

54.

To ensure riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to blade. See Page 69 for riving knife alignment.

To install riving knife:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Remove table insert, but leave Phillips head

screws mounted in table throat.

Note: Table insert is held in place by magnet.

Minimum 1mm

Maximum 5mm

Figure 54. Example of height difference between

riving knife and blade.

The height difference between a riving knife and a 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).

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

When used as a riving knife, the spreader/riving knife must be kept within the range shown in Figure 55. For that reason, a 10" blade is required for operations that use a riving knife.

Height Difference

When to Use 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).

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.

-37-

Page 40

When Not to Use Riving Knife

Do not use the riving knife with a dado blade. 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 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 simply means cutting lengthwise.

Turn saw OFF and allow blade to come to a complete stop before removing cutoff piece. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe lacerations or amputation.

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:

Review Preventing Kickback on Page 11

and take necessary precautions to reduce likelihood of kickback.

If using natural wood, joint one long edge of

workpiece on a jointer.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.

Set fence to desired width of cut on scale.

6. Adjust blade height so highest saw tooth pro-

trudes no more than

⁄4" above workpiece.

Keep blade guard installed and in down position. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

Set up safety devices such as featherboards

or other anti-kickback devices, making sure no safety devices are contacting blade.

Plug saw into power source, turn it ON, and

allow it to reach full speed.

Note: Jointed edge of workpiece must slide

against fence during cutting operation.

Use push stick to feed workpiece through

saw blade, as shown in Figure 57, until workpiece is completely beyond saw blade.

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 59.

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 58), and ease it through blade until workpiece is completely past saw blade.

Figure 58. Typical crosscutting operation.

Figure 59. Example of marking miter line.

Place miter gauge back into slot and hold

workpiece firmly against miter gauge body. Slide miter gauge near blade and adjust workpiece so blade will cut on waste side of line.

Proceed to make cut in same manner as

described in Crosscutting instructions on this page.

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.

Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts

The Model G0962 accommodates 8" diameter dado blades. When using a dado blade, DO NOT install the riving knife.

When the blade tilt adjustment 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 60 shows an example of the blade when tilted to 45°.

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!

Finished

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.

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.

To cut 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.

6. Connect saw to power source, then perform

cut.

Lay workpiece flat on table, as shown in

7. Figure 69, adjust saw blade height to inter-

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

Blade

Fence

Workpiece

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 of 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.

Place auxiliary fence board against fence

face. Place a thin metal shim (such as a ruler) between table and bottom of auxiliary fence board to ensure adequate clearance between fence board and table. Clamp in position.

Measure depth of board plus depth of T-slot,

to determine maximum length of M6-1 flat head cap screws needed to mount auxiliary fence board to fence face.

. Measure centerline of fence T-slot and trans-

fer to auxiliary fence board to determine where to drill holes in board for flat head cap screws.

7. Set auxiliary fence board aside, and using

Resawing Operations

The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly.

You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear safety glasses and a full face shield to prevent injury when resawing.

To perform resawing operations:

. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove standard table insert and blade guard assembly.

Install a ripping blade, install riving knife,

lower blade below table surface, then install zero-clearance table insert.

Attach auxiliary fence and set it to desired

width.

Note: When determining correct width,

don't forget to account for blade kerf and inaccuracy of fence scale while auxiliary fence is installed.

Figure 74. Ideal resaw workpiece setup.

Lower blade completely below table-top, and

slide workpiece over blade to make sure it moves smoothly and fits between resaw barrier and fence.

Raise blade approximately 1", or close to half

the height of workpiece, whichever is less.

Always use push sticks or push paddles to increase safety and control during operations which require that the blade guard and spreader must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace blade guard after resawing is complete.

Page 50

Plug in table saw, turn it ON, and use a push

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.

10. Repeat Steps 7–9 until blade is close to half

the height of board to be resawn. The ideal

completed resaw cut will leave a

⁄8" connec-

tion when resawing is complete, as shown in Figure

75. Leaving a 1⁄8" connection will

reduce risk of kickback.

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.

Flip workpiece end-over-end, keeping same

side against fence, and run workpiece through blade.

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 with-

out 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 grain 3⁄8"–

⁄4" apart and 2"–3" long, as shown in

Figure 76

deep, then make them progressively deeper, as shown in Figure 76 (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).

Only Steps 1–3 are required to make a clamp-mounted featherboard. See Page 51 for instructions on clamping.

Tip: Consider making miter bar longer for

larger featherboards—approximately half the length of total featherboard—to support force applied to the featherboard during use.

Drill a 1⁄4" hole in center of bar, then counter-

sink bottom to fit a

⁄4"-20 flat head screw.

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.

4. 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.

The featherboard should be placed firmly enough against the workpiece to keep it against the fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed the workpiece.

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 and move the workpiece into the blade with steady downward and forward pressure.

83),

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 82).

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 85 below). Typically, the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the workpiece reaches the blade.

There are designs for hundreds of specialty jigs that can be found in books, trade magazines, and on the internet. These types of jigs can greatly improve the safety and consistency of cuts. They are particularly useful during production runs when dozens or hundreds of the same type of cut need to be made.

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 94). 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 95) is a fantastic way to improve the safety and accuracy of crosscutting on the table saw. Most expert table saw operators use a crosscut sled when they have to crosscut a large volume of work, because the sled offers substantial protection against kickback when crosscutting.

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.

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.

If you thoroughly clean the components in this section before lubricating them, the result will be silky smooth movement when turning the handwheels, which will result in much higher enjoyment on your part!

The reason for this wider gap at the back side of the blade is to help prevent the chance of kickback and the blade burning the workpiece because a workpiece may be inconsistent. However, the trade-off is less accurate cuts, and if the fence is placed on the other side of the blade for other table saw operations, the potential of workpiece burning and kickback can be increased. Whenever using a fence, make sure that if an offset has been adjusted in the fence alignment, you use the fence on the side of the blade where the offset creates the wide gap.

Table/Dado Insert

Adjustment

The table/dado insert must sit perfectly flush with the table to provide a smooth, continuous surface for the workpiece to slide over. The insert is held in place by a magnet and sits on top of five adjustment screws (see Figure 129). The insert should be checked and adjusted any time it is removed, after prolonged use, or when the workpiece does not slide smoothly across the insert.

Belt Tension &

Replacement

The drive belt stretches slightly as the saw is used. Most stretching will happen during the first 16 hours of use, but it may slightly continue with further use. If you notice that the saw is losing power in the middle of a cut, the belt may be slipping and will need to be tensioned. If, upon inspection, you find that the belt is cracked, frayed, or shows other signs of excessive wear or other damage, replace it immediately to ensure proper power transmission from the motor to the blade.

Tools Needed Qty

Open-End Wrench or Socket 13mm ................. 1

SECTION 9: WIRING

Note: Please gather the serial

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.
