3.0 Safety warnings

1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This table saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced perso nnel on ly. If you are no t fam iliar w ith the proper and safe operation of a table saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this table saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Powermatic disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this table saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this table saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Always use the blade guard on all ''throughsawing'' operations. A through-sawing operation is one in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

9. Kickback occurs when the workp iece i s throw n towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If you do not have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!

10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

11. S ome dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

•

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

Arsenic and chromium from chemically

•

treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

12. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

13. Make certain switch is in the OFF position before connecting machine to power supply.

14. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

15. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

17. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after completion of maintenance.

18. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

20. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

22. Make your workshop child proof w ith padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

24. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall into the blade or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

25. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job b etter and more safel y.

26. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

27. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

28. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.

29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

30. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

31. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

32. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.

33. Use a push-stick when required.

34. Pay particular attention to instructions on reducing risk of kickba ck.

35. Do not perform any operation freehand.

36. Never reach around or over saw blade.

37. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet location, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

3.1 Kickback

The most common accidents among table saw users, according to statistics, can be linked to kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from the table that can strike the operator. Kickback ca n also result in the operator’s hands being pulled into the blade.

Kickback Prevention

Tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback:

• Make sure the riving knife is always aligned with the blade. A workpiece can bind or stop the flow of the cut if the riving knife is misaligned, and result in kickback.

• Use a riving knife during every cut. The riving knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece, which will reduce the chance of kickback.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece must be fed parallel to the blade, otherwise kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or miter gauge to support the workpiece.

• Make sure that rip fence is parallel to blade. If not, the chances of kickback are very high. Take the time to check and adjust the rip fence.

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

Protection Tips from Kickback

Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to protect you if kickback does occur:

• Stand to the side of the blade when cutting. An ejected workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.

• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your eyes and face are the most vulnerable part of your body.

• Never place your hand behind the blade. If kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled into the blade.

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

5.0 Glossary

Arbor: Metal shaft that connects the drive

mechanism to the blade. Bevel Edge Cut: Tilt of the saw arbor and blade

between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting operation.

Blade Guard: Mechanism mounted over the saw blade to prevent accidental contact with the cutting edge.

Crosscut: Sawing operation in which the miter gauge is used to cut across the grain of the

workpiece. Dado Blade: Blade used for cutting grooves and

rabbets. A stacked dado set can be used for w ider grooves.

Dado Cut: Flat bottomed groove in t he face of the workpiece made with a dado blade.

Featherboard: Device used to keep a board against the rip fence or table that allows the operator to keep hands away from saw blade.

Freehand: Moving a workpiece into the blade using only the hands, without a fixed positioning device. (This is a dangerous, unacceptable procedure – always use appropriate devices to feed the workpiece though the saw blade during cutting operations.)

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw blade.

Kerf, Standard: 1/8" gap made with a standard blade.

Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is lifted up and thrown back toward the operator, caused when a workpiece binds on the saw blade or between the blade and rip fence (or other fixed object). To minimize or prevent injury from kickbacks, see the Operations section.

Miter Gauge: A component that controls the workpiece movement while performing a crosscut of various angles.

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that requires the removal of the blade guard and standard riving knife, resulting in a cut that does not protrude through the top of the workpiece (includes Dado and rabbet cuts).

The blade guard and riving knife must be reinstalled after performing a non-through cut to avoid accidental contact with the saw blade during operation.

Parallel: Two lines or surfaces lying at equal distance from each other at e very point along t heir lengths. For example, a rip fence must be paral lel to the side face of the saw blade.

Pawls, Anti-Kickback: Plates with a serrated edge, usually mounted to the splitter, that prevent the cut workpiece being drawn back toward the blade and producing kickback.

Perpendicular: 90° (right angle) intersection or position of the vertical and horizontal planes such as the position of the saw blade (vertical) to the table surface (horizontal).

Push Board/Push Stick: An instrument used to safely push the workpiece through the cutting operation.

Rabbet: A cutting operation that creates an L-shaped channel along the edge of the board.

Resaw: Process of cutting a thick workpiece into thinner pieces.

Rip Cut: A cut made along the grain of the workpiece.

Riving Knife: A metal plate fixed relative to the blade, which moves with the blade as cutting depth is adjusted. Thus, it maintains not only the kerf opening in the workpiece, but also the knife-toblade distance. A low-profile rivi ng kn ife sit s lower than the top edge of the blade, and is used for non- through cuts.

Splitter (Spreader): A stationary metal plate to which the blade guard is attached that maintains the kerf opening in the workpiece when perform ing a cutting operation. A splitter that rises and lowers with the blade is called a riving knife.

Straightedge: A tool used to c heck that a surface is flat or parallel.

Through Sawing: A saw ing operatio n in whic h the workpiece thickness is completely sawn through. Proper blade height usually allows 1/8" of the top of blade to extend above the wood stock. Keep t he blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls down, and the riving knife in place over the blade.

8.2 Unpacking and cleanup

Open shipping container and check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Table Saw is assembled and running properly.

Compare the contents of your container with the previous list to make sure all parts are intact. Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly for assembly, maintenance and safety ins tructions.

Tools required for assembly (provided):

10, 12, 14 and 17 mm wrenches Hex key set Arbor wrench

Additional tools required (not supplied):

Cross point screwdriver Rubber mallet or dead-blow hammer (or steel hammer over a block of wood)

11

8.3 Stand assembly

Assembly tip: A ratchet wrench with sockets and extensions will speed assembly time.

1. Assemble stand, using Figure 8 as a guide. Use the provided carriage bolts, flat washers lock washers, and hex nuts (SHP-3/4/5/6).

Only make fasteners snug at this time. They will be fully tightened later, after stand has settled under the weight of the saw.

2. Note the or ientation of the c ut-out brace (P) to the front brace with Powermatic label (R). The cut-out brace must be to the left, to allow protrusion of the motor.

3. When stand has been assembled, turn it over and install the rubber foot pads (V). (Should you ever need height adjustment on the foot pad, loosen the two hex nuts, rotate t he pad, then retighten the hex nuts against the metal of the stand.)

4. Turn stand right-side up. The fasteners are not fully tight, but they should be snug enough to withstand the weight of the saw. If the stand needs more stability, snug fasteners a little more.

5. The four large holes on top of the stand should be reasonably aligned through the upper braces for easy insertion of the screws.
