TABLE SAW SAFETY

English

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and

anti-kickback pawls for every through–sawing operation. Through–sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or crosscutting. Always be sure blade guard is tightened securely.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

3. ALWAYS USE a push stick, especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this Operator’s Manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is included on page 25.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION

FREEHAND, which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE

MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/ HAND AMPUTATIONS.

5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the saw blade path.

12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.

13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release work before passing it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it along the fence.

14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the saw blade.

15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.

16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 11.

17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may make hazardous dust.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.

9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only.

10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without ﬁrst turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor damage.

18. ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential ﬁre hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for additional sawdust removal.

19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop.

20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS (Page 11). Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a ﬁre hazard and potential motor damage.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not ﬁt the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor (wire) with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualiﬁed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly grounded.

Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be grounded (3-wire with two ﬂat prongs and one round ground prong).

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, make sure you use one heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table above shows the correct size to use according to extension cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord. NOTE: The 12 to 16 amp rating is correct for this tool. It is highlighted in the table above.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Before connecting the saw to the extension cord, make sure the saw switch is turned OFF.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole grounding receptacles that accept the saw’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

CUTTING OPERATIONS

There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.

WARNING

Before using the saw each and every time, check the following:

1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.

2. The bevel angle lock knob is tight.

3. If ripping, the fence is locked into position & is parallel to the miter gauge groove.

4. The blade guard is in place and working properly.

5. Safety glasses are being worn.

English

WARNING

AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward on the section of the workpiece that passes between the blade and the fence. Never perform any freehand operations.

Fig. V

The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

RIPPING (FIG. V, W)

WARNING

To prevent serious injury:

• Never use a miter gauge when ripping.

• Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut.

• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

• Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from the path of the blade.

• The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed when ripping.

1. Remove the miter gauge and store it in the “storage” compartment in the base of the saw.

2. Secure the rip fence to the table.

3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8” higher than the top of the workpiece.

4. Place the workpiece ﬂat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.

5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come to full speed.

6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will pass between the blade and the fence. (Fig. V)

– 19 –

NOTE: Always use a push stick. When width of the rip is narrower than 2” the push stick cannot be used because the guard will interfere…therefore, use the auxiliary fence so the push stick can be used as shown on page

25.

7. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), ﬁnish the cut with a push stick. To make an additional push stick, use the pattern on page 25.

8. The push stick (3) should always be used. (Fig. W)

9. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes through the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.

10.Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely stops, you can then remove the workpiece.

Fig. W

English

BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than “0º”.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

To avoid injury from the blade contact, never make cuts narrower than 1/2” wide.

1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.

2. When a small width is to be ripped and your hand cannot safely pass between the blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move the workpiece. Always use a push stick during ripping operations.

CROSSCUTTING (FIG. X)

To prevent serious injury:

• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

• Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade.

• Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.

1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in a miter gauge groove on the table.

2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece.

3. Hold the workpiece ﬁrmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to 1in. distance from the blade.

4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full speed. Never stand directly inline of the saw blade path, always stand to the side of the blade that you are cutting on.

5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge (3) and ﬂat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade.

6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.

Fig. X

USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (Fig. X-1)

Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach it to the miter gauge with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

Fig. X-1

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Y)

This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.

WARNING

Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge (1) must be in the right side groove (2) because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove.

1. Adjust the blade (3) to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

2. Tighten miter lock handle at 90°.

3. Hold workpiece ﬁrmly against the face of the miter gauge (1) throughout the cutting operation.

NOTE: When tilting the blade to 45°, the miter gauge

handle will hit the blade guard.

Fig. Y

WARNING

Always position the larger surface of the workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting to avoid instability.

English

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. Z)

This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle.

WARNING

Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge (3) must be in the right side groove because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove. When tilting the workpiece to 45° and push it toward the blade, the blade guard may hit the blade. To avoid injury, stop the work at that time.

1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle.

2. Place the miter gauge (3) in the right side groove (2) of the table.

3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle

and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4. Hold workpiece ﬁrmly against the face of the miter gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. BB)

When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).

1. Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.

2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table.

Fig. BB

Fig. Z

MITER CUTS (FIG. AA)

This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.

1. Set the blade (1) to 0° bevel angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

2. Set the miter gauge (3) at the desired miter angle and lock in position by tightening the miter gauge locking handle.

3. Hold the workpiece (2) ﬁrmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
