ADDITIONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR TABLE SAWS
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO B.
THE INSTRUCTIONS ... AND UNTIL YOU HAVE
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.
1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
POWER TOOLS ... SEE PAGE 2
2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW... SEE PAGE
27.
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION... SEE PAGE 30.
4, MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 38. C.
5. STABILITY OF SAW
if there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or
move during certain cutting operations such as D.
cutting extremely large heavy panels or long
heavy boards, the saw should bebolted down.
If you attach any kind of table extensions over
24" wide to either end of the saw, make sure you
either bolt the saw to the bench or floor as
appropriate, or support the outer end of the
extension from the bench or floor, as
appropriate. E.
6. LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the
operator nor a causal observer isforced to stand
in line with the saw blade.
7. KICKBACKS
A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type
operation when a part or all of the workpiece _s
thrown back violently toward the operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the
sawblade, out of line with a possible "Kickback."
Kickbacks and possible injury from them
can usually be avoided by:
A. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the
sawblade.
B. Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replace or
sharpen anti kickback pawls when points
become dull.
C. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and
antikickback pawls in place and operating
properly. The spreacler must be in alignment
with the sawblade and the pawls must stop a
kickback once it has started,
Check their action before ripping.
D. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped
or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the rip fence.
E. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it
all the way past the sawblade.
F. Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2to6
in, and an auxi iary fence and push block for
ripping widths narrower than 2 in. (See
"Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence"
section.)
G, NOT c6nfining the cut-off piece when
section of the workpiece between the saw
blade and the rip fence
8. PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS,
BODY
A. If any part of your saw ismalfunctioning, has
been damaged or broken.., such as the
motor switch, or other operating control, a
safety device or the power Cord... cease
operating immediately until the particular
part is properly repaired or replaced.
Small loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the rear of the revolving blade
can be thrown back at the operator at
excessive speed. This can usually be avoided
by keeping the guard and spreader in place
for all thru-sawing operations (sawing
entirely thru the work) AND by removing all
loose pieces from the table with a long stick
of wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.
Use extra caution when the guard assembly
is removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting,
or molding replace the guard as soon as
that operation is completed.
For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a
workpiece to which a push stick or push
board is applied must be square
(perpendicular to the fence) in order that
feed pressure applied to the workpiece by
the push stick or block does not cause the
workpiece to come away from the fence, and
possibly cause a kickback.
During rip and rip type cuts. the workpiece
must be held down on the table and against
the fence with a push stick, push block, or
featherboards. A featherboard is made of
solid lumber per sketch.
]_ 24'" I
5/16" AP_T
-5"'--.-.1
F. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing
the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc.
except the workpiece and related feed of
support devices for the operation planned.
G. NEVER place your face or body in line witf"
the cutting tool.
H. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the
path of the sawblade or other cutting tool.
I. NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool witl"
either hand to hold down or support th_
workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for an_
other reason. Avoid awkward operations anc
hand positions where a suddenmovS_lPinto"coulc
cause fingers or hand to
sawbtade or other cutting tool.
J. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setu_
work on the table while the cutting toot i,'
rotating.
K. DO NOT perform any operatior
"FREEHAND" -- always use either the ri[;
fence or the miter gauge to position ant
guide the work.
L. NEVER use the rip fence when crosscuttin_
..... miter gauge when ripping. DO NO!
use the rip fence as a length stop.
Never hold onto or touch the "freeend"of the
workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off
while power is "ON" and/or the sawbiade i,.
rotating.
M. Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect th_
power cord when removing the table insert
changing the cutting tool, removing ot
replacing the blade guard, or makin{;
adjustments.
N. Provideadequatesupportto the rearand
sides of the saw table for wider or long
workpieces.
O. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)
materials may be cut on your saw. However,
since these are usually quite hard and
slippery, the antikickback pawls may not
stop a kickback.
Therefore, be especially attentive to
following proper set-up and cutting
procedures for ripping Do not stand, or
permit anyone else to stand, in line with a
potential kickback
P. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the
workpiece, turn saw "OFF", remove the
workpiece from the sawblade and check to
see if the sawblade is parallel to the miter
gauge grooves and if the spreader is in
proper alignment with the sawblade. If
ripping at the time, check to see if the rip
fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust
as indicated.
Q. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off
material that may become trapped inside the
blade guard while the saw is running. This
could endanger your hands or cause a
kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and wait until
blade stops.
R. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a
twisted grain or istwisted or bowed itmay
rock on the table and/or pinch the sawblade.
9. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpened or set
cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam,
stall the saw, or kickback at the operator.
Minimize potential injury by proper cutting
tool and machine maintenance.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING
THE SAW OFF.
B. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting
blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels.
10. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR
THIS SAW.
11. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently
worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary
wood facing isattached to the miter gauge using
the holes provided. However, the facing must
not interfere with the proper functioning of the
sawblade guard.
12. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool
rotates toward you when standing in normal
operating position. Also make sure the cutting
t0ol, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed
properly. Keep the cutting tool as low as
_)osstble for the operation being performed
when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade
f0 r which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader ts nearest the blade
14. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.
NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert
is installed.
15. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from
the rear of the saw. An accident and serious
injury could result.
17. NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
saw table, orto assist in feeding or supporting or
pulling the work piece.
DO NOT pu the workpiece through the
sawblade - position your body at the nose (in-
feed) side of the guard: start and complete the
cut from the same side. This will require added
table support for long or wide workpeices that
extend beyond the length or width of the saw
table.
18. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at all times when the saw is
being used.
19. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF
YOUR SAW.

HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE
GROOVE
While cutting, the material must move in a straight
line PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE . . . therefore
both the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE
must be PARALL:EL to the SAWBLADE,
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge
groove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut.
(This is known as "HEELING").
To check for parallelism:
WARNING -- TO AVOID INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL START, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND
REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET,
1. Raise blade all the way up by turning elevation
handwheel clockwise,
2. Mark an "x" on one of the teeth which is SET
(bent) to the LEFT.
3. Place the head of a combination square in the
GROOVE... adjust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of the MARKED tooth.

4. Move square to REAR, rotate blade to see if
MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.
5. If tooth touches square at FRONT and REAR.
sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER GAUGE
GROOVE.
6. If tooth does not touch the same amount.., the
mechanism underneath must be adjusted to
make the blade PARALLEL to GROOVE.
A. Rear support bearing must be moved
TOWARD the combination square if there is a
space between marked tooth and end of
square in step 4.
B. Rear support bearing must be moved AWAY

support bearing unless necessary, Recheck the
alignment with the square, then securely
retighten all support bearing screws.
NOTE: Be certain that the widest blade you use
does not contact blade insert after moving
support bearing. Check this at both 0°
(perpendicular to the table) and 45 ° bevel by
rotating the fully elevated blade by hand.
Readjust as required to maintain sufficient
clearance.
