ADDDTaONAL SAFETY RNSTRUCTSONS FOR TABLE SAWS
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING,
1, GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
TOOLS .... SEE PAGE 2
2,_ GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW .... SEE PAGE 15
3o BASIC SAW OPERATION , ,. SEE PAGE 17
4, ADJUSTMENTS ..... SEE PAGE 23
5o MAINTENANCE , _o SEE PAGE 26
6_ STABILITY OF SAW
if there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move
during certain cutting operations such as cutting
extremely large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the
saw should be bolted 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.,
7o LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in Iine with the
saw blade
8o KICKBACKS
A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation
when a part or aU of the workpiece is 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 sawbiade sharp, Repfacing antikickback
pawls when points become dull
C Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawts in place and operating properly. The spreader
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 untii you have pushed it all the
way past the sawblade
F. Using a "PUSH STICK" (See Page T6) for ripping
widths of 2 to 6 in, and an auxiliary fence and push
block for ripping widths narrower than 2 in (See
"Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence" section }
G NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or
crosscutting.
H When ripping apply the feed force to the section of
the workpiece between the saw bfade and the rip
fence
9, PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS, BODY
A If any part of your saw is malfunctioning, 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
B. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87 1,
and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear
p[ugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation
C. 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 al! "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,
D 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
E 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
F. During rip and rip type cuts, the workplece 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..
G NEVER turn the saw "'ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the
workpiece and related feed or support devices for
the operation planned
H NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool..
I, NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tooI.
J NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with
either hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason Avoid
awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move
into a sawblade or other cutting tool
K_ DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
L. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" -
always use either the rip or the miter gauge to
position and guide the work
M_ NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting or the
miter gauge when ripping.DO NOT use the rip fence
as a length stop
NEVER hold onto or touch the "free end" of the
workplece or a "free piece" that _s cut off, while
Dower is "ON" and!or the sawblade is rotating.
N Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord
when removing the table insert, changing the
cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade guard,
or making adjustments.
O.. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
P PIastic and composition (like hardboard) materials
may be cut on your saw However, since these are
usualty 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 e_se to stand, in Iine
with a potential kickback.
Q If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpieceo
turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the
sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is
paraIlel to the miter gauge grooves and if the
Page 4

spreaderisinproperalignmentwiththesawblade,,
If rippingatthetime,checktoseeif theripfence
is parallel with the sawbladeReadjustas
indicated.
R. 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
S Use extra care when ripping wood that has a twisted
grain or is twisted or bowed -- it may rock on the
table and/or pinch the sawblade
10. 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 roof
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
11. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS
SAW_
12 Crosscutting operations are more conveniently worked
and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is
attached to the miter gauge using the holes provided
However, the facing must not interfere with the proper
functioning of the sawbtade guard,
13 Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in normal operating
position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly Keep the cutting
tool as low as possible for the operation being
performed Keep all guards in place whenever possible
14 Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for
an operating speed less than 3450 RPM Never use a
cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for
which the saw was designed For greatest safety and
efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade
15. Adjust tabie inserts flush with the table top NEVER
Operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed
16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear
of the saw. An accident and serious injury could result.
17 Always maintain control of the workpiece -- DO NOT
"let go" of the workpiece until the cutting tool has
come to a stop.
18. IF YOUR SAW MAKES AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE OR
IF IT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY CEASE
OPERATING IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE SOURCE
HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THE PROBLEM
CORRECTED.
19. If any part of this table saw is missing or should break,
bend or fail in any way, or any electrical component
fail to perform properly, shut off power switch, remove
cord from power supply and replace damaged, missing
and/or failed parts before resuming operation,
20. THINK SAFETY,

BASUC SAW
WORK HELPERS
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study alt of the
"Basic Saw Operations"
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like the
Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxiliary Fence/Work
Support, which you can make yourself.,
After you have made a few practice cuts, make these
"helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "Push
Stick" first,
PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the Push Stick using a piece of ] x 2, or rip one from
a wide board, say t 1-1/2" wide, end set the rip fence 9-7/8
in. from the sawblade
Make the Push Block using a piece of 3/8 in and 3/4 in,
plywood,
The small piece of wood 3/8 in, x 3/8 in. x 2-1/2 in should
be GLUED to the plywood , DO NOT USE NAILS, This
is to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event you
mistakingly cut into the push block,
Position the handle in the center of the plywood and fasten
together with glue and woodscrews
AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT
Make one using a piece of 3/8 in, and 3/4 in., plywood
Fasten together with glue and woodscrews
NOTE: Since the Push Block is used with the Auxiliary
Fence, the 4-3/4 in,, dimensions must be held identical on
both the pieces.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
tN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGES 2. 3, and 4.
1. Never make these cuts freehand (without using the
miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the
blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or
cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade
2. Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use,
3,, Remove rip fence from table,
4,, Make sure blade guard is installed for all "thru-sawing"
operations (when sawblade cuts entirely thru the
thickness of the workpiece ) Replace guard
IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing, molding
or rabbeting cuts
5 Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in., above top of
workpiece., Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential,
6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a
THROWBACK (Small cut-off piece caught by the back
of the blade and thrown toward the operator), Stand to
either side of the blade
7, Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade,.
If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH
OFF before attempting to free the blade,

CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across
the grain, at 90 ° , or square with both the edge and the flat
side of the wood° This is done with miter gauge set at "0'°..
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking In some cases where extreme
accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example,
make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square, or protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inacurracy,
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.
For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always
"favor" one side of the groove in the table, In other words,
don't move the miter gauge from side to side while cutting,
but keep one side of the bar riding against one side of the
groove_
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter
gauge head.. This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut°
The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) should be
used on the miter gauge for greater accuracy,
When cutting long workpieces, invert AUXILIARY
FENCE!WORK SUPPORT and position it on top of the
guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as
possible if this does not adequately support the workpiece,
you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy
SANDP
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table. Make sure it is locked..
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right
When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lock knob with your left
hand.
REPETITIVE CUTTING
REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.
1o Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting
duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.
2. DO NOT FEED workpiece with RIGHT Hand. merely
guide it. making sure that it does not bind or pinch the
sawbtade
When making repetitive cuts from a tong workpiece, make
sure it is adequately supported.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the

MITER CUTTING
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than 90 ° with the edge of the wood Follow the same
procedure as you would for crosscutting.,
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it,
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table,,
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT Hand groove, hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lockknob with your left hand,
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory} on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy,,
BLOCK
PIEC_
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle , , other than
90 ° with the flat side of the wood
Adjust the blade to the desired angle,.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the
blade, it cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT because
the blade guard wi!t interfere Hold the workpiece with
your right hand and the Iockknob with your left hand
Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for
additlona] support of the workpiece
Lay it across the guide bars to support the workpiece as
near to the end as possible
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory} on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter
cutting and bevel crosscutting The cut is made at an angle
other than 90 ° to both the edge and the flat side of the
wood_
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired angle
Make sure miter gauge is locked,

Remove miter gauge from table.
4.
Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-sawing
type cuts. Replace the guard iMMEDIATELY following
completion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding
operations,,
Frequently check the action of the ANTIKICKBACI<
PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the
spreader while saw is OFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you If the PAWLS do
RIPPING
RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood with the
grain, or lengthwise, This is done using the rip fence.
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP and lock
in place.
Before starting to rip, be sure
A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.
& Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade
C Antikickback pawls are functioning properly
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS, always
use a work support
A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse.,
BEVEL RIPPING
When bevel ripping materia_ 6 in or narrower, use fence on
the right side of the blade ONLY, This will provide more
space between the fence and the sawblade for use of a push
stick_ If the fence is mounted to the left, the sawblade
guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick,
not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it, • the pawls
must be SHARPENED,, See "Maintenance" section
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in above top of
workpiece,, Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential.
& Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a
KICKBACK, Stand to either side of the blade°
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade,
& If the blade stalls or stops while cutting. TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade,
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut oo. to support long or
heavy workpieces , o,. to remove small cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table° REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with a long stick,, Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
1t 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 the saw OFF,, After the blade has stopped turning,
lift the guard and remove the piece°
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of wood through
its thickness, Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or
WARPED material, NOTE: To RESAW a piece of wood
wider than 3-9/16 in ..... it will be necessary to remove the
blade guard .... and use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT. (See "Work Helpers"),
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece wilt SLIDE
EASILY (but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS) without
BINDING between the two fences.
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly,
Place a small block or wood between the bottom edge of
the table and the "C" clamp
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY . oo
1, DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE
RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A
KICKBACK.
CUTTING PANELS
When cutting panels (whenever fence is positioned outside
of table surface), ALWAYS use the AUXILIARY
FENCE!WORK SUPPORT,
1, Unlock fence and raise rear end
2. Position AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT as
shown and attach it with two "'C" clamps

RABBETING
Rabbeting is known as cutting out a section of the corner
of a piece of material, across an end or along an edge
To make a RABBET requires two cuts which do not go all
the way through the material Therefore the blade guard
must be removed
1 Remove blade guard
2o For rabbeting along an edge (tong way of workpiece)
add facing to rip fence (see 6. RIP FENCE, p. 15)
approximately as high as the workpiece is wide Adjust
rip fence and blade to required dimensions, then make
first cut with board fiat on table as any rip (type) cut;
make second cut with workpiece on edge, Follow all
precautions, safety instructions, and operational
instructions as for ripping, rip type operations,
including feather boards and push sticks, etc
DADOING
Instructions for operating the Dado Head are contained in
booklet furnished with the Dado Head,.
The recommended Dado Head is listed under recommended
accessories°
The' arbor on the saw, is only long enough so that the
widest cut that can be made is 13/16" wide,
It is not necessary to instatl the outside loose collar before
screwing on the arbor nut Make sure the arbor nut is tight.
ALWAYS USE DADO INSERT LISTED UNDER
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES,
When using the dadoing head it will be necessary to remove
the Blade Guard and Spreader USE CAUTION. Use
featherboards and pushsticks as required,
ALWAYS REPLACE THE BLADE GUARD AND
SPREADER WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED DADOING,
MOLDING CUTTING
instructions for operating the Molding Head are contained
in a booklet furnished with the Molding Head
The recommended molding head is listed under
recommended accessories,
Always use Molding Insert Listed Under Recommended
Accessories
3 For rabbeting across an end for workplace 10-I/2" and
narrower make the rabbet cut with the board flat on
the table using the miter gage fitted with a facing (per
"7 Miter Gauge" on p, t5) DO NOT use the rip fence,
4 iNSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION
Rabbet cuts can also be made using the dado head or
molding head.

Page 23

USING FEATHERBOARDS
Add 8 inch high flat facing board to the fence, the full
length of the fence,
Use featherboards for all non "thru-sawing" operations
(when sawb[ade guard must be removed), Featherboards are
used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table
as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown, so that
leading edges of featherboards wil! support workpiece until
cut is complete, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter (sawblade, dado head, molding
head, etc.) with a pushstick, as in ripping
"C" CLAMPS FEATHE_ BOAR D
/
"C" CLAMPS
WORK SUPPORT
Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and cutter
below table surface):
(a) Install featherboards so they exert pressure on the
workpiece; be positive they are secure, and
(b) Make sure by trial that the featherboards will stop a
kickback if one should occur,
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-sawing
operations when using the miter gage,
Replace the sawbtade guard as soon as the non thru-sawing
operation is complete

MITER GAUGE
NOTE: The holes for the stop pin and the graduations are
manufactured to very close tolerances which provide
accuracy for average woodworking In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly
to compensate for any inaccuracy.,
1. Loosen the "knob" and pul! "stop pin'" OUT,
2. Swivel the head .... position it at "0" . . push the
stop pin IN ..... lock the handle,
3. The HEAD should be square with the Bar and the
pointer should point to "0",, Readjust the pointer if
necessary.
4. If the head is not square with the bar, adjustments are
require&
A, Loosen the "knob" (1) and the "two screws" (2)
B Position the HEAD square with the BAR using a
combination square,
C, PUSH the STOP PIN into the slot in the head at
"0" ,.... push the pin into the slot and twist it, Lock
the knob,,
Do Recheck with the square,, if the head is still not
square, loosen the screws (2) and readjust the
INDICATOR BLOCK,
E, With the head square with the bar and the pin
pushed into the slot, adjust the pointer (3) to point
to "0",
Fo The miter gauge head must rest on top of the bar
without being able to move up and down .... yet it
must swivel freely,
