Additional Safety for Table Saws

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during operation. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike operators or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep hands away

from saw blade and out of blade path during operation, so they cannot accidentally slip into blade. Only operate at front of machine and always stand to side of blade path. Never reach behind or over blade.

BLADE GUARD. The blade guard protects operator from rotating saw blade. Make sure blade guard is installed, adjusted correctly, and used for all possible “through cuts.” Promptly repair or replace if damaged. Re-install immediately after operations that require its removal.

RIVING KNIFE. Use riving knife for all “nonthrough cuts.” Make sure it is aligned and positioned correctly. Promptly repair or replace it if damaged.

KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when saw blade ejects workpiece back toward operator. Know how to reduce risk of kickback, and learn how to protect yourself if it does occur.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding workpiece incorrectly increases risk of kickback. Always allow blade to reach full speed before cutting, feed workpiece from front of saw, making sure workpiece is flat against table and a fence, miter gauge, or other guide is used to feed workpiece in a straight line. Feed cuts through to completion. Never start saw with workpiece touching blade or pull workpiece from behind blade. Never back workpiece out of cut, move it sideways, or perform a “freehand” operation. Never plunge cut.

PUSH STICKS/PUSH BLOCKS. To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, use push sticks/push blocks whenever possible. In event of an accident, these will often take damage that would have occurred to hands/fingers.

FENCE. To reduce risk of kickback, make sure fence remains properly adjusted and parallel with blade. Always lock fence before using.

CUT-OFF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to

near blade or trapped between blade and table

pieces away from blade while saw is running.

BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting blade height or tilt during operation increases risk of crashing blade and sending metal fragments flying with

adjust blade height and tilt when blade is completely stopped and saw is OFF.

CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while changing saw blade can result in serious injury. To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, always disconnect power before changing blades.

DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Damaged saw blade teeth can become deadly projectiles. Never use blades that have been dropped or damaged.

DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. Dado and rabbeting operations require special attention since they must be performed with blade guard removed, which increases risk of blade contact. DO NOT attempt dado or rabbeting operations without first reading these sections in this manual.

CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Cutting metal, glass, stone, tile, etc., increases risk of operator injury due to kickback or flying particles. Only cut natural and man-made wood products, laminatecovered wood products, and some plastics. Never cut materials not intended for this saw.

-10-

Page 13

Model W1837 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/17)

Preventing Kickback

Below are ways to avoid the most common causes of kickback:

• Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut warped, cupped or twisted wood.

• Keep the blade guard installed and working correctly for all through-cuts.

• Never move the workpiece backwards or try to back it out of a cut while the blade is moving. If you cannot complete a cut for some reason, stop the saw motor and allow the blade to completely stop before backing the workpiece out. Promptly fix the condition that prevented you from completing the cut before starting the saw again.

Protecting Yourself

SAFETY

• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece is not fed parallel with the blade, kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or miter gauge to support the workpiece.

• Make sure the spreader or riving knife is aligned with the blade. A misaligned spreader or riving knife can cause the workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the chance of kickback.

• Take the time to check and adjust the rip fence parallel with the blade; otherwise, the chances of kickback are extreme.

• The spreader or riving knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance of kickback. Always use the riving knife for all non-through operations, unless using with dado blade smaller than 10" in diameter. Always use the spreader with the blade guard for all through cuts.

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

From Kickback

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it may still happen. Here are some ways to protect yourself if kickback DOES occur:

• Stand to the side of the blade during every cut. If kickback does occur, the thrown workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.

• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the event of kickback, your eyes and face are the most vulnerable parts of your body.

• Never, for any reason, place your hand behind the blade. Should kickback occur, your hand will be pulled into the blade, which could cause amputation.

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

• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices to assist with feeding and prevent or slow down kickback.

• Keep the blade guard installed and in good working order. Only remove it when performing non-through cuts and immediately re-install the blade guard when finished. Remember, always use the riving knife for all non-through operations, unless a dado blade is installed.

• Make multiple, shallow passes when performing a non-through cut. Making a deep nonthrough cut will greatly increase the chance of kickback.

-11-

Statistics show that most common accidents among table saw users can be linked to kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion of stock from the table saw toward its operator. In addition to the danger of the operator or others in the area being struck by the flying stock, it is often the case that the operator’s hands are pulled into the blade during kickback.

he bare metal surfaces

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. Avoid using these products to clean machinery. Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.

SETUP

Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of

cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

. Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is

effective, the coating will wipe off easily.

Tip: An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)

. Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the

compound is removed.

. To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,

In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative coating. Before using these products, though, test them on an inconspicuous area of your paint to make sure they will not damage it.

Machine Placement

Weight Load

Refer to the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/ covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.

read

seek additional training

machine operators, and do

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:

1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is

suitable for cutting.

. Adjusts blade tilt, if necessary, to correct

angle of desired cut.

. Adjusts blade height approximately 1⁄4"

higher than thickness of workpiece.

Before beginning the cutting operation, inspect all workpieces for the following:

• Material Type. This machine is intended

for cutting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementitious backer board creates extremely fine dust and may reduce the life of the motor bearings. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a table saw may lead to injury.

• Foreign Objects. Nails, staples, dirt,

rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause kickback, or break the blade, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they can’t be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.

OPERATIONS

. Adjusts fence to desired width of cut, then

locks it in place.

. Checks outfeed side of machine for proper

support and to make sure workpiece can safely pass all the way through blade without interference.

. Puts on safety glasses, respirator, hearing

protection, and locates push sticks if needed.

. Starts saw.

8. Feeds workpiece all the way through blade

while maintaining firm pressure on workpiece against table and fence, and keeping hands and fingers out of blade path and away from blade.

. Stops machine promptly after cut is complete.

• Large/Loose Knots. Loose knots can become

dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Choose workpieces that do not have large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting through them.

• Wet or “Green” Stock. Cutting wood

with a moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blades, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.

• Excessive Warping. Workpieces with

excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and may move unpredictably when being cut.

• Minor Warping. Slightly cupped workpieces

can be safely supported with the cupped side facing the table or fence; however, workpieces supported on the bowed side will rock during the cut, which could cause kickback or severe injury.

Non-Through & Through

Cuts

Non-Through Cuts

A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock, as shown in

Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from kickback because the blade guard must be removed. However, the riving knife MUST be installed because it still provides some protection. When making non-through cuts with a dado blade, do not attempt to cut the full depth in one pass. Instead, take multiple light passes to reduce the load on the blade. A dado blade smaller than 10" will require removal of the riving knife, because the riving knife will be higher than the blade.

Through Cuts

A through cut is a sawing operation in which the workpiece is completely sawn through, as shown in

Figure

cuts, miter cuts, and beveled cuts. The blade guard assembly MUST be used when performing through cuts.

Blade Size Requirements

The spreader/riving knife included with this machine is

0.090" (2.3mm) thick and is only designed for 10" diameter

blades.

When choosing a main blade, make sure the blade size meets the requirements listed below. The thickness of the blade body and teeth can be measured with calipers or any precision measuring device.

Blade Size Requirements:

• Body Thickness: 0.060"-0.086" (1.5-2.1mm)

• Kerf (Tooth) Thickness: 0.094"-0.126"

(2.4-3.2mm)

Using a blade that does not meet the specified blade size requirements presents a hazardous condition that could cause kickback, operator injuries, or property damage. ALWAYS use a blade that meets the given blade size requirements.

Blade Installation

Properly installing the blade is critical to safe cutting operations that produce good results. Review this section, even if your blade came pre-installed.

To install blade, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

. Raise blade arbor all the way up, remove blade

guard, table insert (leave Phillips head screws mounted in table throat), and spreader/riving knife.

Note: Table insert is held in place by magnet.

. Use included arbor wrenches to loosen and remove

arbor nut, flange, and blade (see Figure 43). Arbor nut has right-hand threads; turn counterclockwise to loosen.

To reduce risk of injury, always disconnect power to saw before changing blades. Since the blade is sharp, use extra care and wear gloves when installing it.

. Install new blade, flange, and arbor nut on arbor (as

shown in

Blade Guard Assembly

The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that consists of the clear polycarbonate shield, the spreader, and the anti-kickback pawls on each side of the spreader

Figure 45). Each of these components has important

(see safety functions during the operation of the saw.

Model W1837 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/17)

Clear Shield

Guard

The clear polycarbonate guard allows the operator to watch the blade cut the workpiece during operation. This guard is designed to lift as the workpiece is pushed into the blade and remain in contact with the workpiece throughout the entire cut.

The guard reduces injury risk by providing a barrier around the blade that prevents accidental contact and contains flying wood chips.

To ensure that the guard does its job effectively, the guard must always be in the downward position against the table during idle operation, and the hinge mechanism must be maintained in good working condition so the guard can freely pivot up and down to accommodate the height of the workpiece and return to the table surface.

Spreader/Riving Knife

The spreader/riving knife is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the back side of the blade, causing kickback.

The spreader/riving knife also acts as a barrier behind the

OPERATIONS

blade, which can help prevent hand from being pulled into the blade in certain situations if a kickback occurs.

components.

In order to work properly, the spreader cannot be bent or misaligned with the blade. If the spreader accidentally gets bent, take the time to straighten it or just replace it. Using a bent or misaligned spreader will increase the risk of kickback! Refer to Page 69 to check or adjust alignment if necessary.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

The anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards, such as during a kickback, the pawls will dig into the workpiece to slow or stop it.

To work properly, the pawls must return to their resting position after pivoting, shown in

If the pawls fail to return to the resting position, the pivot area may need to be cleaned or the spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need to be fixed/replaced.

Disabling Pawls

You might disable the pawls if you are concerned about them scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding difficulty or loss of control. Use your best judgment before retracting the pawls, as they are provided for your safety.

To disable pawls, do these steps:

. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Figure 50.

and retaining spring from blade guard assembly (see Figure 51).

Enabling Pawls

To enable the pawls, re-install retaining spring, pawls, washers, cap screw, and locking hex nut onto blade guard

assembly. Do not overtighten.

When to Use Blade Guard

The blade guard assembly MUST always be installed on the saw for all normal through cuts (those where the blade cuts all the way through the thickness of the workpiece). If the blade guard is removed for specific operations, always immediately replace it after those operations are complete.

When Not to Use Blade Guard

The blade guard cannot be used on any non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

Pawls are sharp and can cut fingers or hands. Use caution, and wear leather gloves when handling pawls to reduce risk of injury.

Figure 51. Pawls Removed.

Sometimes the blade guard or its components can get in the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or other specialized cuts. Because the blade guard is provided to decrease your risk of injury, it should not be used if it gets in the way of making a safe cut. Use good judgment!

-38-

Whenever blade guard cannot be used, spreader/riving knife must be installed.

Page 41

Model W1837 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/17)

Riving Knife

The spreader also functions as a riving knife, which works in the same manner as the spreader, but is used for nonthrough cuts. It is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback.

The key difference between a spreader and a riving knife is that a riving knife mounts below the blade's highest point of rotation, as shown in

The height difference between a riving knife and a blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during nonthrough cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).

Riving

Knife

Similar to the spreader, the riving knife acts as a barrier behind the blade to reduce the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs.

When to Use the Riving Knife

Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts made with a standard table saw blade (i.e., dadoes or rabbet cuts, and when using a tenoning jig), or when using a 10" diameter dado blade.

Also, use the riving knife for those special operations where the blade guard or its components get in the way of safe operation, such as with very narrow cuts.

When Not to Use the Riving Knife

Do not use the riving knife with a dado blade that has a diameter smaller than 10" in diameter. Otherwise, the riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing the operator into a dangerous situation of trying to turn the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the cut.

Model W1837 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/17)

To ensure riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to blade. Refer to Page 69 to check or adjust riving knife alignment.

In addition, although it is possible to use the riving knife for through cutting operations, the blade guard assembly offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, you use the blade guard assembly for through cuts.

Ripping

Ripping means cutting with the grain of a natural wood workpiece. In man-made materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise.

To make a rip cut, do these steps:

. Review Preventing Kickback on Page 11 and take

necessary precautions to reduce likelihood of kickback.

. If using natural wood, joint one long edge of

workpiece on a jointer.

. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.

. Set fence to desired width of cut on scale.

Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed ejection of stock from table saw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into blade during kickback.

6. Adjust blade height so highest saw tooth protrudes

no more than 1⁄4" above workpiece.

. Set up safety devices such as featherboards or other

anti-kickback devices, making sure no safety devices are contacting blade.

. Plug saw into power source, turn it ON, and allow it

to reach full speed.

Note: Jointed edge of workpiece must slide against

fence during cutting operation.

Use a push stick to feed workpiece through saw blade,

as shown in Figure 55, until workpiece is completely beyond saw blade.

Crosscutting

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of a natural wood workpiece, usually with a miter saw In other manmade materials, such as MDF or plywood, crosscutting means cutting across the width of the workpiece.

To make a crosscut using miter gauge, do these steps:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.

. Move rip fence aside and position miter gauge,

adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.

. Adjust blade height so teeth protrude no more than

⁄4" above workpiece.

. Slide miter gauge near blade and adjust workpiece

so blade will cut on waste side of line.

. Plug in table saw, turn it ON, and allow it to reach

full speed.

. Hold workpiece firmly against face of miter gauge

(as shown in Figure 56), and ease it through blade until workpiece is completely past saw blade.

Dado Blade

The Model W1837 can accommodate dado blades up to 10" in diameter. However, you MUST install the included riving knife while using a 10" diameter dado blade, as it provides a barrier behind the blade and reduces the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs.

DO NOT use the riving knife if you install a dado blade smaller than 10" in diameter. Otherwise, the riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing the operator into a dangerous situation and trying to turn the saw OFF with the workpiece stuck halfway through the cut.

Cutting Dadoes with a Dado Blade

Because dado blades are much wider than standard blades, they place a greater amount of force against the workpiece when cutting. This additional force increases the risk of kickback, requiring the operator to take additional steps when cutting to keep their injury risk at an acceptable level.

Never try to cut a warped board by holding it down against the table. If kickback occurs, your hand could be pulled into blade, resulting in accidental contact with rotating blade, causing severe cuts or amputation.

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to depth and width of cut. To minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve desired cutting depth.

Figure 60 demonstrates the sequential process of making

multiple, light cuts that get progressively deeper. The actual number of cuts used should be determined by workpiece hardness, total dado depth, and feed rate. In general, if you hear the motor slow down during the cut, you are cutting too deep or feeding too fast. Slow down!

Rabbet Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet cut is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade.

Rabbet cutting along the edge of a workpiece with a dado blade requires a sacrificial fence (see the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and

⁄4" thick. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps,

making sure they are all secure and tight. Raise the blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed.

To cut rabbets with standard blade, do these steps:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Ensure that riving knife and standard table insert are

Resawing

Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that you use a bandsaw instead.

A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table saw is not intended for resawing, and resawing with one is difficult and dangerous due to the increased risk of kickback from binding and deep cuts, and the increased risk of injury from having to remove the guard.

If you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT do so without using a resaw barrier and wearing a full face shield. The following instructions describe how to build a resaw barrier and add an auxiliary fence to your standard fence, to reduce the risk injury from resawing on a table saw.

Resawing operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury and prevent kickback. Any tilting or movement of workpiece away from fence will likely cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury or amputation.

Note: To determine the maximum resawing height for this

table saw, find the maximum blade height, then double it and subtract

⁄8".

Making a Resaw Barrier

When resawing, the resaw barrier (see Figure 68) acts in tandem with the rip fence to provide tall support for the workpiece. This minimizes the probability of it binding against the blade and causing kickback.

Resawing Operations

The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly.

You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear safety glasses and a full face shield to prevent injury when resawing.

. Install ripping blade, install riving knife, lower blade

below table surface, then install zero-clearance table insert.

. Attach auxiliary fence and set it to desired width.

Note: When determining correct width, don't forget

to account for blade kerf and inaccuracy of fence scale while auxiliary fence is installed.

SHOP-MADE SAFETY ACCESSORIES

Featherboards

Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback, especially when used together with push sticks. They also maintain pressure on the workpiece to keep it against the fence or table while cutting, which makes the operation easier and safer because the cut can be completed without the operator’s hands getting near the blade. The angled ends and flexibility of the fingers allow the workpiece to move in only one direction.

Making a Featherboard

This sub-section covers the two basic types of featherboards: 1) Those secured by clamps, and 2) those secured with the miter slot.

thick to size. The length and width of the board can vary according to your design. Most featherboards are 10"–28" long and 3"–6" wide. Make sure wood grain runs parallel with length of featherboard, so fingers you will create in

Step 3 will bend without

breaking.

Model W1837 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/17)

We recommend using a bandsaw for making fingers in the next step because it tends to be safer. A table saw can be used, but it will over-cut the underside of the ends, produce a thicker kerf, and require you to stop the blade half-way through the cut, which can be dangerous.

Figure 75. Patterns for making

featherboards.

IM P O R TANT: Cuts made across grain result in weak fingers that easily break when flexed. When made correctly, fingers should withstand flexing from moderate pressure. To test finger flexibility, push firmly on ends with your thumb. If fingers do not flex, they are likely too thick (cuts are too far apart).

Cut 30º angle at one end of board.

Make a series of end cuts with the grain 3⁄8"– 1⁄4"

apart and 2"–3" long, as shown in

Figure 75

(A). Alternatively, start cuts at 2"–3" deep, then make them progressively deeper, as shown in

Figure 75 (B).

Only Steps 1–3 are required to make a clamp-mounted featherboard. Refer to Page 55 for instructions on clamping.

center, then use a jig saw with a narrow blade to cut it out.

Assemble miter bar and featherboard with a 1⁄4"-20

x flat head screw, flat washer, and a wing nut or a star knob (see

Figure 78). Congratulations! Your

featherboard is complete.

Note: The routed slot, countersink hole, and flat

head screw are essential for miter bar to clamp into miter slot. When wing nut is tightened, it will draw flat head screw upward into countersunk hole. This will spread sides of miter bar and force them into walls of miter slot, locking featherboard in place.

Tip: The length of the flat head screw depends on

the thickness of the featherboard—

though 1 1⁄2" to 2"

lengths usually work.

Push Sticks

When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push stick can absorb damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers. Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12" of the blade. To maintain control when cutting large workpieces, start the cut by feeding with your hands then use push sticks to finish the cut, so your hands are not on the end of the workpiece as it passes through the blade.

Feeding: Place the notched end of the push stick against the end of the workpiece (see inset and move the workpiece into the blade with steady downward and forward pressure.

Supporting: A second push stick can be used to keep the workpiece firmly against the fence while cutting. When using a push stick in this manner, only apply pressure before the blade; otherwise, pushing the workpiece against or behind the blade will increase the risk of kickback (see "Push Stick Prohibition Zone" in

Figure 81),

Push Blocks

When used correctly, a push block reduces the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push block often takes the damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.

A push block can be used in place of or in addition to a push stick for feeding workpieces into the blade. Due to their design, push blocks allow the operator to apply firm downward pressure on the workpiece that could not otherwise be achieved with a push stick.

The push block design on this page (see be used in two different ways (see the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the workpiece reaches the blade.

The notched end of the push block is then used to push the workpiece the rest of the way through the cut, keeping the operator's hands at a safe distance from the blade. A push stick is often used at the same time in the other hand to support the workpiece during the cut.

Outfeed & Support Tables

One of the best accessories for improving the safety and ease of using a table saw is simply placing a large table (outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece

Figure 93). Additionally, another table to the left

(see of the saw (support table) can also help support large workpieces so they can be cut safely and accurately.

Crosscut Sled

A crosscut sled (see Figure 94) is a fantastic way to improve the safety and accuracy of crosscutting on the table saw. Most expert table saw operators use a crosscut sled when they have to crosscut a large volume of work, because the sled offers substantial protection against kickback when crosscutting.

MAINTENANCE

General

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

• Inspect blades for damage or wear.

Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.

•

Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.

•

• Check for the proper function of the blade guard

(see Blade Guard Assembly on Page 35).

Check for any other condition that could hamper the

•

safe operation of this machine.

• Wipe the table clean after every use—this ensures

moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

MAKE SURE that your machine is

unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Weekly Maintenance:

• Wipe down the table surface and grooves with a

lubricant and rust preventive such as SLIPIT®.

• Vacuum dust buildup from the motor housing and

trunnions.

• Clean the pitch and resin from the saw blade with a

cleaner like OxiSolv® Blade & Bit Cleaner.

Monthly Maintenance:

• Check/tighten the belt tension (Page 77).

Every 6–12 Months:

• Lubricate trunnion slides (Page 64).

• Lubricate worm gear (Page 64).

• Lubricate leadscrew (Page 64).

Cleaning & Protecting

Cleaning the Model W1837 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resindissolving cleaner to remove it.

MAINTENANCE

Protect the unpainted cast iron table by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep your table r u s tfree with regular applications of quality lubricants.

Lubrication

It is essential to clean components before lubricating them because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make them hard to move. Simply adding more grease to them will not yield smooth moving components.

Model W1837 (For Machines Mfd. Since 9/17)

Clean the components in this section with mineral spirits or other oil/grease solvent cleaner and shop rags.

If you thoroughly clean the components in this section before lubricating them, the result will be silky smooth movement when turning the handwheels, which will result in much higher enjoyment on your part!

The following are the main components that need to be lubricated:

• Trunnion Slides and Orientation Gears

• Worm Gears, Trunnion, and Bearing Housing Teeth

Trunnion Slides

Clean out the front and rear trunnion slides with mineral spirits and a rag, then apply lithium grease into each groove. Move the blade tilt back-and-forth to spread the grease (see

Figure 95).

Worm Gear, Bull Gear, Leadscrew

Clean away any built up grime and debris from the worm gear, bull gear, and leadscrew (see with a wire brush, rags, and mineral spirits. Allow the components to dry, then apply a thin coat of white lithium grease.

Offsetting Fence

Some woodworkers prefer to offset the rear of the fence

/64" from the blade, as shown in Figure 119.

The reason for this wider gap at the back side of the blade is to help prevent the chance of kickback and the blade burning the workpiece because a workpiece may be inconsistent. H owe v e r, t h e trade-off is less accurate cuts, and if the fence is placed on the other side of the blade for other table saw operations, the potential of workpiece burning and kickback can be increased. Whenever using a fence, make sure that if an offset has been adjusted in the fence alignment, you use the fence on the side of the blade where the offset creates the wide gap.
