Table Saw Modifications Required for Installation

The Model W1822 can be installed on a wide range of table saw brands and sizes; however, installation usually requires permanent modification to your table saw or its parts. This modification can include cutting, grinding, drilling, and tapping threads in metal surfaces. Read the following to determine what type of modification may be required for your saw:

SAFETYINTRODUCTION

SETUP ACCESSORIES

OPERATIONS

• If your saw table does not have mounting holes that match those in the Model W1822, you will need to drill (and possibly tap) new holes in the saw table.

• If the fence rails on your saw prevent installation of the Model W1822, then you will need to either: — Cut off the ends of the rails (this is the easiest and fastest option). — Re-mount the rails farther to the right, which may also require you to drill (and possibly tap)

new holes in your table and cut small notches into your rails for access to T-slots in your saw’s table.

• If the power switch on your saw is mounted on the left, you may need to re-mount it to a new location, such as the non-moving base portion of the Model W1822 or a new location on your fence rails. Remounting the switch may require drilling and tapping new holes.

Before beginning any modification to your table saw or its parts, read the entire assembly section in this manual to make sure the person making the modification is capable of performing the required tasks, and to make sure the Model W1822 will fit your saw.

operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

SAFETY

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-

glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause

permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.

11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.

13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-

SAFETY

heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords for 220V machinery.

14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting

wrenches before turning machinery ON.

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured

workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-

tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.

25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and

animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety for Sliding Table Saws

READ and understand this entire manual AND the table saw owner's manual before using this attachment. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

KICKBACK. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator at a high rate of

speed. Until you have a clear understanding of kickback, how it occurs, and how to prevent it, DO NOT operate the table saw with this sliding table attachment!

CLEARANCE. To prevent flying metal debris causing serious injuries, always make sure the sliding table crosscut fence will not contact the blade before starting the table saw.

WORKPIECE CONTROL. If the workpiece should unexpectedly move and bind with the blade, kickback could occur. Always make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the tables and is either supported by the rip fence or the crosscut fence during cutting operations.

OPERATOR POSITION. If kickback occurs, the workpiece will be ejected in a path that is in-line with the blade. Never have any part of your body in-line with the cutting path of the blade during operation.

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

SAFETY

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Avoid awkward body and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hands to move into the spinning blade.

REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. To prevent your hands or arms accidently contacting the spinning blade, never reach behind or over the blade during cutting operations.

USING RIP FENCE WITH SLIDING TABLE CROSSCUT FENCE. When using the rip fence as a stop block for the crosscut fence, the rip fence must be in front of the blade. Otherwise, the workpiece could bind against the rip fence and kickback could occur.

REMOVING WORKPIECES. To avoid accidental contact with the spinning blade, always turn the saw OFF and wait until the blade is completely stopped before removing any part of the workpiece from the table.
