The following changes were recently made since the owner's manual was printed:

• Miter Slot to Blade Parallelism on Page 50 of the owner's manual has been revised.

Aside from the information contained in this update, all other content in the owner's manual is applicable and MUST be read and understood for your own safety.

IMPORTANT: Keep this update with the owner's manual for future reference. If you have any further questions, contact our Technical Support.

Revised Miter Slot to Blade Parallelism

Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot is adjusted parallel to the blade. If the miter slot is not exactly parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback will be increased.

Tools Needed Qty

Combination Square ............................................1

Marker Flat Head Screwdriver

To adjust blade parallel to miter slot, do these steps:

............................................................1

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Tilt blade to 0°, raise blade all the way, then

remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

Use combination square to measure distance from

miter slot to a carbide tip on blade, as shown in Figure 64. Make sure face of square is even along miter slot.

With end of square just touching blade tip, lock

square in place. Now, mark carbide tip with a marker where you made this measurement.

Additional Safety for Table Saws

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, or under blade guard when blade is spinning.

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.

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

. Keep hands away

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. Do not use fence while using miter gauge. Make sure fence is not touching the blade when the saw is started.

CUT-OFF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to

blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to completely stop before removing cut-off pieces near blade or trapped between blade and table insert. Never use your hands to move cut-of f pieces away from blade while saw is running.

SAFETY

rectly 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.

ADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. Dado and rab-

beting 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.

Page 16

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.

SAFETY

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

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

• 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

• 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 guide the workpiece.

• Make sure the spreader or riving knife is aligned with the blade and secured tightly. 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 a dado blade is installed. 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.

Note: It is permissible for back of fence to pivot

outward not more than

⁄64" from being parallel with miter slot. This creates a slightly larger opening between fence and blade, at rear of blade, to reduce risk of workpiece binding or burning as it is fed through cut. Many woodworkers intentionally set up their fence in this manner. Keep this in mind before adjusting your fence. For more details refer to Offsetting Fence on Page 55.

OPERATIONS

This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly.

The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine!

The overview below provides the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand. Due to its generic nature, this overview is to be an instructional guide.

General

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

To reduce your risk of serious injury or damage to the machine, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine.

NOT intended

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

Examines workpiece to make sure it is suitable for

cutting.

Adjusts blade tilt, if necessary, to correct angle for

desired cut.

OPERATIONS

Adjusts blade height no more than 1⁄4" higher than

thickness of workpiece.

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, and hearing

protection, and locates push sticks/blocks 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 immediately after cut is complete.

To reduce the risk of eye injury and long-term respiratory damage, always wear safety glasses and a respirator while operating this machine.

If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recommend that you read books or trade articles, or seek training from an experienced operator of this type of machinery before performing unfamiliar operations. Above all, safety

must come first!

-22-

Page 27

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before they can be made safe to cut.

Before cutting, get in the habit of inspecting 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 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.

• 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, yields poor results.

• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with

excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these characteristics!

• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight

cupping can be safely supported if the cupped side is facing the table or the fence. On the contrary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side will rock during a cut and could cause kickback or severe injury.

OPERATIONS

READ and understand this entire manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

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.

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.

Figure 16.

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

Fence

Saw Blade

Workpiece

IM P O R TA N T: 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.

OPERATIONS

Blade Size Requirements

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)

• Riving Knife Thickness: 0.09" (2.3mm)

• Blade Size Required for Riving Knife: 10"

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.

and anti-kickback pawls (see and spreader/riving knife.

. Use included arbor wrench on inner flange to hold

blade in place.

Use second included arbor wrench to loosen and

4. remove arbor nut and flange (see nut has right-hand threads; rotate counterclockwise to loosen.

Blade Guard Assembly

Clear Shield

Spreader

Pawls

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 25). Each of these components has important

(see safety functions during the operation of the saw.

Guard

The clear polycarbonate guard allows the operator to see 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.

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

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 backside of the blade, causing kickback.

OPERATIONS

The spreader/riving knife also acts as a barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled into the blade 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 51 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, as 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:

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

OPERATIONS

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).

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!

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

Whenever blade guard cannot be used, spreader/riving knife must be adjusted to riving knife position. For more information on the spreader/ riving knife and how to use it, refer to Page 31.

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

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

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

When used as a riving knife, the spreader/riving knife must be kept within the range shown in Therefore, we only recommend using a 10" blade for operations that require use of the riving knife.

To adjust riving knife, do these steps:

When to Use 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).

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 Riving Knife

DO NOT use the riving knife with a dado blade. Dado blades are too wide to be used with the spreader clamp engaged and doing so can lead to operator injury and machine damage.

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

Figure 34. Riving knife mounting positions.

To ensure riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to blade. Refer to Page 51 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 offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend you use the blade guard assembly instead of the riving knife 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 12 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 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 assembly is installed.

To avoid kickback, 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.

Page 41

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 the risk of injury at an acceptable level.

Figure 40 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!

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.

To cut dado with dado blade, do these steps:

. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Adjust dado blade to desired depth of cut.

Adjust distance between fence and inside edge of

3. blade, as shown in Figure 39 on Page 36, to dado length of a workpiece.

— If dadoing across workpiece, use miter gauge and

carefully line up desired cut with dado blade. DO NOT use fence in combination with miter gauge.

5. Turn saw ON. Blade should run smoothly, with no

vibrations.

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

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.

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 48. Patterns for making

featherboards.

OPERATIONS

1. Cut a hardwood board that is approximately 3⁄4" 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.

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 48

(A). Alternatively, start cuts at 2"–3" deep, then make them progressively deeper, as shown in Figure 48 (B).

-41-

IM P O R TA N T: 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).

Only Steps 1–3 are required to make a clamp-mounted featherboard. Refer to Page 43 for instructions on clamping.

Page 46

4. Rout a 1⁄4"–3⁄8" wide slot 4"–5" long in workpiece and

Note: The routed slot, countersunk 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.

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 also absorb damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.

Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)

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 54 below).

Using a Push Stick

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

Figure

55 below), and move the workpiece into

the blade with steady downward and forward pressure.

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.

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 (see Using a Push Stick on previous page).

Using a Push Block

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 can be used in two different ways (see inset Figure

below). Typically, the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the workpiece reaches the blade.

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.

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

• Blade Height Worm & Bevel Assemblies

Repeat Steps 3—6 as needed.

Offsetting Fence

Some woodworkers prefer to offset the rear of the fence

/64" from the blade, as shown in Figure 74.

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 o we v er, 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.

Brush Replacement

This table saw is equipped with a universal motor that uses two carbon brushes to transmit electrical current inside the motor. These brushes are considered to be regular "wear items" or "consumables" that will need to be replaced during the life of the motor. The frequency of required replacement is often related to how much the motor is used and how hard it is pushed.

Replace the carbon brushes (part number X18750726) at the same time when the motor no longer reaches full power, or when the brushes measure less than (new brushes are we recommend keeping extra brushes on hand to avoid downtime when the brushes wear out.
