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 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 20
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION ... SEE PAGE 23
4. ADJUSTMENTS ... SEE PAGE 29
5. MAINTENANCE ... SEE PAGE 34
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.

7. LOCATION

The saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the saw blade.

8. KICKBACKS

A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or all 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 sawblade sharp. Replace or sharpen antikickback pawls when points become dull.
C. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback pawls 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 until you have pushed it all the way past the sawblade.
F. Using a push stick 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 cross-cutting.
H. When ripping apply the feed force to the section of the workpiece between the saw blade 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 plugs 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 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.

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 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.

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 tool.
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 fence 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 workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off, while power 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. 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.
Q. 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.

Page 4

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 tool and machine maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO EREE 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 sawblade 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 table 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. THINK SAFETY.

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.

19. WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR SAW) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. - ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
20. WARNING: THE 2-1/2" SAW PULLEY AND THE 2-1/2" MOTOR PULLEY FURNISHED, WILL RUN THE BLADE AT APPROXIMATELY 3450 RPM WHEN USED WITH A 3450 RPM MOTOR. NEVER SUBSTITUTE THESE PULLEYS TO INCREASE THIS SPEED BECAUSE IT COULD BE DANGEROUS.

NOTE: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use the arbor wrench to just "snug" it.

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail or catalog stores.

ALIGNING RIP FENCE

The fence should slide easily along the bars and always remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade and miter gauge grooves).

The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath the fence which bears against the front guide bar.

To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the fence with one hand at the front.

Page 13

For very close adjustments, grasp the guide bar with both hands and move the fence with your thumbs.

Place fence on saw but DO NOT LOCK IT. Move the REAR END of the fence slightly to the right or left ... when you release it, the fence should "spring" back to its original position.

If it does not, the spring pressure must be INCREASED. 1. Loosen the screws.

2. Move Spring slightly toward front of fence.

If the fence does not slide easily along the bars, the pressure of the spring can be REDUCED.

1. Loosen the screws.
2. Move spring slightly toward rear of fence ... tighten screws.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW

ON-OFF SWITCH

1 ON-OFF SWITCH

CAUTION: Before turning switch on, make sure the blade guard is correctly installed and operating properly.

The On-Off Switch has a locking feature. THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED AND POSSIBLE HAZARDOUS USE BY CHILDREN AND OTHERS.

B. TO turn saw ON ... stand to either side of the blade never in line with it ... insert finger under switch lever and pull END of lever out.

After turning switch ON, always allow the blade to come up to full speed before cutting.

Do not cycle the motor switch on and off rapidly, as this may cause the sawblade to loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow the sawblade to come to a complete stop and retighten the arbor nut normally, not excessively. Never leave the saw while the power is "ON".

C. TO turn saw OFF ... PUSH lever in. Never leave the saw until the cutting tool has come to a complete stop.
D. TO lock switch in OFF position ... hold switch IN with one hand ... REMOVE key with other hand.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, LOWER BLADE OR OTHER CUTTING TOOL BELOW TABLE SURFACE. (IF BLADE IS TILTED, RETURN IT TO VERTICAL (90°) POSITION). ALWAYS LOCK THE SWITCH "OFF". WHEN SAW IS NOT IN USE ... REMOVE KEY AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE ... ALSO ... IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE (ALL OF YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT) TURN SWITCH OFF ... LOCK IT AND REMOVE THE KEY. THIS WILL PREVENT THE SAW FROM STARTING UP AGAIN WHEN THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

Page 22

2 ELEVATION HANDWHEEL ... elevates or lowers the blade. Turn clockwise to elevate ... counterclockwise to lower.
3 TILT HANDWHEEL ... tilts the blade for bevel cutting. Turn clockwise to tilt toward left ... counterclockwise to tilt toward right.

When the blade is tilted to the LEFT as far as it will go, it should be at 45° to the table and the bevel indicator should point 45°.

NOTE: There are LIMIT STOPS inside the saw which prevent the blade from tilting beyond 45^o to the LEFT and 90^o to the RIGHT. (See "Adjustments" section "Blade Tilt, or Squareness of Blade to Table").

4 TILT LOCK HANDLE ... locks the blade in the desired tilt position. To loosen, turn counterclockwise. Push handle in and turn it to another position if necessary in order to tighten or loosen.

IMPORTANT: Be sure handle is hanging in the "DOWN" position before tilting blade. If it is pointing to the 1 o'clock position it may jam on underside of the table and bend the locking bolt.

5 RIP FENCE ... is locked in place by tightening the lock knob. To move the fence, loosen the knob and grasp the fence with one hand at the front.

Holes are provided in the rip fence for attaching a wood facing when using the dado head, or molding head.

Select a piece of smooth straight wood approx. 3/4 in. thick and the same size as the rip fence.

Attach it to the fence with three Round Head #10 Wood Screws 2 in. long. To remove the facing, loosen the screws, slide the facing forward and pull the screws through the round holes.

If you are making a rip type cut in material thinner than 3/16 in. while the fence is positioned over the depressed area of table extension, the facing should be attached to the fence so that the bottom edge touches the top surface of the extension. In this case, the facing must be shorter than the fence. This will prevent thin material from sliding under the rip fence.

6 MITER GAUGE ... head is locked in position for crosscutting or mitering by tightening the lock knob. ALWAYS LOCK IT SECURELY WHEN IN USE.

There are two slots for the stop pin at the 45 degree right and left positions for conveniently setting the Miter Gauge to cut miters.

NOTE: The slots 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 then be swiveled slightly to compensate and then locked.

Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an AUXILIARY FACING to make it easier to cut long pieces. Be positive facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard.

Select a suitable piece of smooth straight wood . drill two holes through it and attach it with screws.

NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so that it extends to the right of the miter gauge and use the miter gauge in the groove to the right of the blade.

7 BLADEGUARD must always be in place and working properly for all thru-sawing cuts. That is, all cuts whereby the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

To remove the guard for special operations, loosen the thumbscrew and slide the guard off of the rod. DO NOT DISTURB THE SETTING OF THE ROD.

When replacing the guard, make sure the PIN in the rod engages with the NOTCH in the spreader support. Make sure thumbscrew is tightened securely.

8 TABLE INSERT is removable for removing or installing blades or other cutting tools.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING INSERT.

A. Lower the blade below the table surface.
B. Raise blade guard.
C. Loosen Screw.
D. Lift insert from front end, and pull toward front of saw.

NEVER OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT THE PROPER INSERT IN PLACE, USE THE SAW BLADE INSERT WHEN SAWING ... USE THE COMBINATION DADO MOLDING INSERT WHEN DADOING OR MOLDING.

Page 23

9 REMOVING AND INSTALLING SAWBLADE.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING OR INSTALLING SAWBLADE.

A Raise Blade Guard . remove insert.
B. To REMOVE blade, place a block of wood against front of blade ... PULL arbor wrench toward you to LOOSEN arbor nut.

BLADE GUARD NOT SHOWN FOR PICTURE CLARITY

C. To TIGHTEN arbor nut, place a block of wood against rear of blade ... PUSH wrench away from you.

When installing the blade ... make sure the teeth are pointing toward the front of the saw ... and that the blade and collars are clean, and free from any burrs.

The HOLLOW side of the collar must be against the blade.

Always tighten the arbor nut securely.

NOTE: When using the Dado or Molding Head, it is not necessary to install the loose collar.

To replace insert.

Place insert into insert opening in table and push toward rear of saw to engage spring clip and until keyslot in insert will drop over screw. Tighten screw.

Do not tighten screw to the point where it will deflect the insert.

10 EXACT-I-CUT

The "yellow" plastic disc imbedded in the table in front of the sawblade, is provided for marking the location of the "sawcut" on the workpiece.

A. Check disc ... if it is above table surface, place a piece of hardwood on top of it and tap it down.
B. With blade 90^o (square to table) cut off a piece of wood.
C. Pull miter gauge back until wood is over disc. Using very sharp pencil, mark a line on disc.
D. With miter gauge in right hand groove, follow same procedure and mark another line on disc.
E. These lines indicate the "path" of the cut (kerf) made by the sawblade.
F. When cutting the workpiece, line up mark on workpiece with line on disc.

BASIC SAW OPERATION

WORK HELPERS

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all 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 up these "helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "Push Stick" first.

PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK

Make the Push Stick using a piece of 1 x 2, or rip one from a wide board, say 11-1/2 in. wide, and 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.

USING THE MITER GAUGE

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING, COMPOUND MITER CUTTING, DADOING and when RABBETTING AND MOLDING across the end of a narrow workpiece, THE MITER GAUGE IS USED.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN 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.
8. If 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 ... to support long or heavy workpieces ... to remove 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 along stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the blade.
11. 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.

Page 25

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) included with 113.298240 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) included with 113.298240 on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

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 handle with your right.

When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lockhandle 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.

1. 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 sawblade.

When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make sure it is adequately supported.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) included with 113.298240 on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

Page 26

1. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD BIND BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE CAUSING A KICKBACK.
2. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in., clamp a block of wood 2 in. long to the table to act as a length stop. 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 of wood between the bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.

CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure that the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

3. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it touches the block ... hold it securely or clamp it with the Hold Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) included with 113.298240.
Make the cut ... pull the workpiece back ... push the cut off piece off the table with a long push stick ... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.

MITER CUTTING

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle other than 90^o 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 knob with your left hand.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) included with Model 113.298240 on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

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 will interfere. Hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lockhandle with your left hand.

Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for additional 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) included with Model 113.298240 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.

Page 27

USING THE HOLD-DOWN

When cutting wide pieces of material, move the clamp assembly forward as far as it will go...grip the lock handle and tighten by turning clockwise until lock handle is secured. Tighten both wing screws.

When cutting narrow pieces of material, adjust the clamp assembly with the clamp over the center of the workpiece. Grip the lock handle and tighten by turning clockwise until lock handle is secured. Tighten both wing screws.

The clamp screw contains a "rapid approach" feature. Disengage clamp lock latch, press IN the rapid approach button which is located on the left side of the clamp assembly and PUSH DOWN or PULL UP on the clamp screw. Release button and tighten the clamp screw. Engage clamp lock latch.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, NEVER USE MITER GAUGE WITH CLAMP LOCK LATCH DISENGAGED.

SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES ... you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

ADD FACING to front face of miter gauge head for support as needed. It must not extend past the right end – including the 45° corner – of miter gauge head when miter gauge is used in the left table groove, nor past the left end when miter gauge is used in the right table groove. Otherwise, the FACING will interfere with the saw blade guard and prevent proper and safe operation.

CAUTION: For bevel crosscutting or compound miter cutting, use the miter gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the blade ... NEVER TO THE LEFT. This will permit the guard and the miter gauge to function properly.

Always release clamping knob – unclamp workpiece and disengage clamp lock latch before pressing in rapid approach button.

End of workpiece must extend at least two inches to either side of shoe of clamp screw.

Wide (12" or wider) and long (2 feet or longer) pieces of plywood, chip board or wall paneling should be cut using the rip fence rather than the miter gauge.

NOTE: It may be necessary to add a facing to the Fence to prevent very thin materials like wall paneling or formica from slipping under the fence. Support wide workpieces to the rear of the table — you can make a sample support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.

BE POSITIVE edge of workpiece next to face of miter gauge head is straight and tight against miter gauge head so that workpiece does not rock or rotate.

When repositioning Head to another miter angle, it is necessary to loosen both Wing Screws slightly before lossening the Lock Handle.

CAUTION: After setting angle, secure Lock Handle and both Wing Screws, in that order, before clamping the workpiece and engaging the clamp lock latch.

ALWAYS use both hands when operating with miter gauge. Place one hand on the lock handle – use this hand to feed

workpiece thru the sawblade. For narrow work, place other hand so thumb is hooked behind miter gauge head and fingers hooked over leading edge for work. For wider work where other hand cannot span board as above, place hand on top of work and hook fingers over leading edge of work to hold it tight against the face of the miter gauge during the cutting operation.

Never use miter gauge with clamp lock latch disengaged.

RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, PLOUGHING, MOLDING, RESAWING AND RABBETING are performed using the RIP FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 2, 3, and 4.

Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
3. Remove miter gauge from table.
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 ANTIKICKBACK 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.
B. 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 material 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 quard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6 in. and WIDER use your RIGHT Hand to feed the workpiece until it is clear of the table.

Use LEFT hand ONLY to guide the workpiece ... do not FEED the workpiece with the left hand.

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.
8. 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 ... to support long or heavy workpieces ..., 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.
11. 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.

Page 29

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2 in. to 6 in. wide USE THE PUSH STICK to feed the work.

When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than 2 in., the push stick CANNOT be used because the guard will interfere ... USE the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and PUSH BLOCK.

Attach Auxiliary Fence/Work Support to rip fence with two "C" clamps.

Feed the workpiece by hand along the AUXILIARY FENCE until the end is approx. 1 in. past the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the PUSH BLOCK. Hold the workpiece in position and install the PUSH BLOCK by sliding it on top of the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT (This May Raise Guard).

workpiece. Use PUSH BLOCK to complete cut.

Page 30

PLOUGHING AND MOLDING

PLOUGHING is grooving with the grain the long way of the workpiece, using the fence. USE proper holddowns and feed devices.

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 3-3/8 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 will 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 of wood between the bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ... 1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE

RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A KICKBACK.

AUXILIARY FENCE/

2. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON COMPLETION OF THE RESAWING OPERATION.

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.
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 cuts which do not go all the way through the material. Therefore the blade guard must be removed.

1. Remove blade guard.
2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of workpiece) as shown, add facing to rip fence (see 5. RIP FENCE, p. 21) approximately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust rip fence and blade to required dimensions; then make first cut with board flat 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, or rip type operations, including feather boards and push stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 101/2" and

narrower make the rabbet cut with the board flat on the table using the miter gage fitted with a facing (per "6. MITER GAUGE" on p.21). 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.

MOLDING is shaping the workpiece with the grain the long way of the workpiece, using the fence. Use proper holddowns and feed devices.

Page 31

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 in this manual.

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 install 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 dado head it will be necessary to remove the Blade Guard and Spreader. USE CAUTION. USE FEATHERBOARDS AND PUSH STICKS 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 in this manual.

Always use Molding Insert Listed Under Recommended

When using the molding head it will be necessary to remove the Blade Guard and Spreader. USE CAUTION. USE FEATHERBOARDS AND PUSH STICKS, etc. AS REOUIRED.

ALWAYS REPLACE THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED MOLDING.

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 sawblade 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 will 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.

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 sawblade guard as soon as the non thru-sawing operation is complete.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

MITER GAUGE

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

1. Loosen the "knob" and pull "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 required.

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.
D. 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".
F. The miter gauge head must rest on top of the bar without being able to move up and down ... yet it must swivel freely.
G. The swiveling movement of the head can be

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 PARALLEL 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 - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET.

1. Raise blade all the way up . raise blade guard.
2. Mark as "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 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.

adjusted by tightening or loosening the setscrew (4) ... using the 1/8 in. setscrew wrench.

NOTE: The setscrew is located inside of the head. To reach it, swivel the head to 60 degrees and turn the miter gauge upside down.

Page 33

6. If tooth does not touch the same amount ... the mechanism underneath must be adjusted to make the blade PARALLEL to GROOVE.
- A. Rear trunnion must be moved TOWARD the combination square if there is a space between marked tooth and end of square in step 4.
- B. Rear trunnion must be moved AWAY from the square if marked tooth pushes square out of position in the groove.
FRONT TRUNNION
7. Loosen all three screws that hold the rear trunnion and all three screws that hold the front trunnion.

NOTE: All six screws can be reached through back of saw. Use a 9/16-in. wrench. To reach left-hand front trunnion screw, tilt blade to 45°. After loosening screws reposition blade at 90°.

CLAW HAMMER

PLACE BLOCK HERE

8. Using a wood block and mallet as shown, move rear trunnion to right or left as required to realign the blade. If necessary, shift front trunnion in similar manner; but do NOT move front trunnion unless necessary. Recheck the alignment with the square, then securely retighten all six trunnion screws.

BLADE TILT, OR SQUARENESS OF BLADE TO TABLE

90° (SQUARE) and 45° (BEVEL) STOP COLLARS.

When the bevel pointer is pointing directly to the "O" mark on the bevel scale, the sawblade should make a SQUARE cut 90° to the table.

To check for SQUARENESS:

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET.

1. Raise blade all the way UP . raise blade guard.
2. Place the square against blade. Make sure square is not touching the TIP of one of the saw TEETH.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING YOUR SAW.

Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw.

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the saw cabinet and the motor.

Frequently clean your cutting tools with Craftsman Gum and Pitch Remover.

A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide more freely.

If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTIKICKBACK pawls are always sharp. To sharpen:

1. Remove blade guard.

2. Rotate pawl toward rear of spreader so that teeth are above top of spreader.
3. Hold spreader with left hand and place pawl over corner of workbench.
4. Using a small round file (Smooth Cut) sharpen the teeth.

LUBRICATION

The following parts should be oiled occasionally with SAE No. 20 or No. 30 engine oil.

1. Tilt screw threads and pivot nut. (First Clean with Craftsman Gum & Pitch Remover.)
2. Elevation screw threads and pivot nut. (First Clean with Craftsman Gum & Pitch Remover.)
3. Cradle bearing points.
4. Bearing points in guard assembly, miter gauge and rip fence.
