ELECTRICAL SAFETY

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The

SAFETY GUIDELINES

conductor with a green outer surface, 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 technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug, as shown. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and overheating. The table on the next page shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• Make 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.

• Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must consist of not less than #12 wire with a 20 A time-delayed fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the Off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

CAUTION!

• In all cases, verify that the outlet in question is properly grounded. if you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

WARNING!

• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure to use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current required by the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating of the tool.

• Use the extension cord only for intended purpose. Do not pull the extension cord to remove it from the power socket.

WARNING!

• This tool must be grounded while in use in order to protect the operator from electric shock.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The machine is equipped with a overload reset switch that will restart the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, move the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF ” position. Remove any workpiece from the table. Wait about 5 minutes for the motor to cool down, and then push the reset button and move the switch to the “ON” position.

WOODEN SPACER

The wooden spacer is attached on one side of the rip fence to prevent the material from being caught between the bottom of the rip fence and the work table, when ripping material such as thin panelling.

OUTFEED SUPPORT

This outfeed support at the back of the tool gives the operator additional support when cutting long workpieces.

SLIDING EXTENSION TABLE

Located on right side of the saw table, this extension table givers the operator additional support when cutting wide workpieces.

OPERATING COMPONENTS

The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of the cabinet.

Detailed instructions are provided in the “Operating Instructions” section of this manual

for the basic cuts: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts and compound cuts.

The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts. A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip fence and the blade.

It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for all through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly includes: riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and plastic blade guard.

APPLICATIONS

You can use this tool for the purposes listed below:

• Straight-line cutting operations such as crosscutting, ripping, mitring 0-45° mitre angle, bevel crosscutting 0-45° blade bevel and 90° mitre angle and 0-45° blade bevel and 0-45° mitre angle.

• Cabinet making and woodworking.

CAUSES OF KICKBACK

Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using precautions to avoid the risks.

Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following:

• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth.

• Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece.

• Twisting the wood while making a cut.

• Failing to support the workpiece.

• Forcing a cut.

• Cutting warped or wet lumber.

• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.

• Not following correct operating procedures.

• Misusing the saw.

• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.

• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.

AVOIDING KICKBACK

• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 to 1/4" (3.2 to 6.4 mm).

NOTE: This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood composition

products only. Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or mitre gauge.

1918

• Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never saw into a loose knot or nail.

• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting and the mitre gauge when crosscutting. This helps to prevent twisting the wood in the cut.

• Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.

• To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly before beginning a cut.

• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.

• Do not cut wet or warped lumber.

• Always hold the workpiece ﬁrmly with both hands or with push sticks. Keep your body

in a balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.

• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Fig. 36)

The saw is equipped with an overload switch (1) to prevent the saw from overload damage. The saw will stop if the machine was overloaded with cutting or low voltage. Turn the switch to the Off position and allow the motor to cool down for at least ﬁve minutes. Press the overload switch button to reactivate the overload switch. After the motor has cooled down, turn the switch to the On position. The saw should now start.

OPERATION

MAKING CUTS

Before using the table saw, polish the table with an automotive wax in order to keep it clean and make it easier to slide the workpiece.

There are two basic types of table saw cuts: ripping and crosscutting. In general, ripping means cutting with the grain, along the length of the workpiece. Crosscutting means either cutting across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. However, with man-made materials, this distinction can be difﬁcult to make.

Therefore, cutting a piece of wood to a different width is ripping and cutting across the short dimension is crosscutting. Neither ripping nor crosscutting operations can be performed safety freehand: ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the use of the mitre gauge.

Fig. 36

OPERATION

WARNING!

Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or by a dull blade. Inspect the saw for proper setup before using it again.

WARNING!

• ALWAYS remove the switch key when the tool is not in use and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a power failure, turn the switch OFF ( O ) and remove the key. This action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when power returns.

WARNING!

• ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the switch to start the tool. Failure to heed this warning may cause the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator and result in serious personal injury.

WARNING!

• To reduce the risk of accidental starting, always make sure the switch is in the OFF ( O ) position before plugging tool into the power source.

WARNING!

Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

CAUTION!

Make sure you read the general safety guidelines for the table saw before operating it. Your safety depends on it. Verify the following every time the saw is used:

• The blade is tight.

• The bevel angle locking knob is tight.

• If ripping, the fence locking handle is tight, the fence is parallel and the mitre gauge locking handle is tight.

• If crosscutting, the mitre gauge knob is tight.

• The blade guard and riving knife are in place and are working properly.

• Safety glasses are being worn. Failure to adhere to these safety rules can greatly increase the chances of injury.

PUSH STICK (Fig. 37)

Push sticks are devices used for safely pushing a workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands. They can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a speciﬁc project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end.

• Use good quality plywood or solid wood.

• Use 1/2" (1.27 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) material.

• Push stick MUST be thinner than the width

of material being cut.

RIPPING (Fig. 38)

• Remove the mitre gauge, and secure the rip fence to table.

• Adjust the blade so that it is approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) higher than the workpiece.

• Hold the workpiece ﬂat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece approximately 1" (2.5 cm) away from the blade.

• Turn the saw On, and allow the blade to come up to full speed.

• Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing forward only on the section of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence.

• Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your thumbs touch the front edge of the table, complete the cut using a push stick.

• The push stick should always be used when the ripped workpiece is 2" (5 cm) wide or narrower.

• Continue to push the workpiece with the push stick until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.

• Never pull the workpiece back while the blade is turning. Turn the switch Off. When the blade comes to a complete stop, raise the anti-kickback pawls on either side of the riving knife, if necessary, and then slide the workpiece out.

WARNING!

To prevent serious injury:

• Never use the mitre gauge when ripping.

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

• Do not allow familiarity with or frequent use of your table saw

to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a fraction of a second of carelessness is enough to cause a severe injury.

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

• When ripping, the workpiece must have a straight edge

against the fence, and must not be warped, twisted or bowed.

BEVEL RIPPING

This operation is the same as ripping, except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°.

Make sure that you only cut with the workpiece and the fence on the right-hand side of the blade.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES (Fig. 39)

• It is not safe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to the blade. In order to ensure your safety, rip the small piece from a larger piece.

• When a small width is to be ripped and your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks. Use the push stick to hold the workpiece against the table top and the fence, and to push the workpiece completely past the blade.

Avoid injury resulting from contact with the blade. Never make through-cuts narrower than 3/4" (1.9 cm) wide.

OPERATION

CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 40)

• Remove the rip fence, and place the mitre gauge in one of the mitre gauge grooves on the table.

• Adjust the blade height so that it is 1/8" (3.2 mm) higher than the top of the workpiece.

• Hold the workpiece ﬁrmly against the mitre gauge, with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to within 1" (2.5 cm) of the blade.

• Start the saw, and wait for the blade to come up to

Fig. 39 Fig. 40

full speed. Never stand directly in line with the path of the saw blade.

• Keep the workpiece against the face of the mitre gauge and ﬂat against the table. Slowly push the workpiece through the blade.

• Do not attempt to pull the workpiece backward while the blade is turning. Turn the switch off, and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before carefully sliding the workpiece out.

OPERATION

CAUTION!

To prevent serious injury:

• Do not allow familiarity with or frequent use of your table saw

to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a fraction of a second of carelessness 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 backward during a cutting

operation. This will cause kickback, and serious injury to the user can occur.

WARNING!

In order to avoid instability, always place the larger surface of the workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting.
