ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT B. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANS!
OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY Z87.1, and aface shield or dust mask if
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
22
3. BASIC SAW OPERATION ..... SEE PAGE 27
4. MAINTENANCE ............... SEE PAGE 41
5. 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.
6. LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand
in line with the saw blade.
7. 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 sawb!ade 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 2in. (See "Basic
Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence"
section.)
G. NOT confining the cut-off piece when
ripping or cross-cutting.
8. PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS,
BODY
A. If any part of your saw is missing,
malfunctioning, or has been damaged or
broken . ..such as the motor switch,
electronic controls, or other operating
control, a safety device or the power cord...
cease operating immediately until the
particular part is properly repaired or
reptaced.

E.
F.
operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs
during extended periods of operation.
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.
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.
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.
During rip 6nd rip type cuts, the workpiece
must be held down on the table and against
the fence with a push stick, push block, and
featherboards, as required. A featherboard is
made of solid lumber (at least 3/4" thick) per
sketch. I' 24., .I
5,/16" APART
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
sawbiade or other cutting tool.
K. DO NOT perform layouL 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
oower cord wnen removmg the table insert
changing the cutting tool. removing or
replacing the blade guara, or making
adjustments.
O. Provide aaequate support to the rear and
sides of the saw table for wider or long
work _)ieces.
P. Plastic and composition (_ike hardboard)
materials may be cut on your saw. However
since these are usually aurte hard ana
slippery, the antikickback pawls may not stop
a kickback.
Therefore, be especially attentive to
following proper set-Lp and cutting
;3rocedures for ripping. Do not stand or
permit anyone else to stand, m line with a
3otential kickback.
Q. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the
workpiece turn saw "QFF" and remove the
workpiece from the sawblade. Check to see if
the sawblade is parallel to the m_ter gauge
grooves and if the spreader is in proper
alignment with the sawblade. If ripp_ ng at the
time. check to see if the rip fence is parallel
with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.
R. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off
materia 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 hasa
twistec grain or is twisted or bowed -- it may
rock on the table and/or oinch the sawblade.
9. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. Dull. gummy, or improperly sharpened orset
cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam.
stall the saw. or kickback at me operator.
Minimize 3otential injury by proper cutting
tool ana machine maintenance
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING
THE SAW OFF.
B. Never use grinding wheels, abraswe cut-off
wheels friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wneels or buffing wheels.
10. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR
THIS SAW
11 Crosscutting operations are worked more
conveniently and with greater safety if an
auxiliary wood facing is attached to the miter
gauge using me holes orovided. However. the
facing mus_ not interfere with the proper
functioning of the sawoJaae guard.
12. Make sure the top of me ardor or cutting tool
rotates toward you when standing in normal
operating position. AIsd make sure the cutting
too, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed
Properly. Keeo the cutting tool as Jow as
possJble for the operauon being performea.
Keep all guards in place whenever possible
13. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool
marked for an operating speed _ess 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 r_ppmg, use the maximum diameter blade
for which the saw isdesigned, since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
14. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.
NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert
is installed.
15. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from
the rear of the saw. An accident and serious
injury could result.
16. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at all times when the saw is
being usea.
17. NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
saw table, or to assist in feeding or supporting or
pulling the workpiece.
DO NOT pull the workpiece through the
sawblade - position your body at the nose (in-
feed) side of the guard: start and complete the
cut from that same side. This will require added
table support for long or wide workpieces that
extend beyond the length or width of the saw
table.
18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF
YOUR SAW.
ir_ FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY: ,=or oo.z _4,5A,,_.
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
2-112" MOTOR PULLEY FURNISHED, WILL
RUN THE BLADE AT APPROXIMATELY 3450
RPM WHEN USED WITH A 3450 RPM MOTOR.

ALIGNING RIP FENCE
The fence should slide easily along the bars and
always remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade
and miter gauge grooves).
Thealignment is maintained bya spring underneath
the fence which bears against the fronl guide bar.
To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and
grasp the fence with one hand at the front.
14

For very close adjustments, grasp the guide bar with
both hands and move the fence with your thumbs.
With fence on saw but NOT LOCKED move the
REAR END.of the fence slightly tothe 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...
tighten screws.
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.

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 the
sawblade must be parallel to both the miter gauge
GROOVE ant the RIP FENCE.
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"). Check the sawblade
as follows.
WARNING -- FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY MAKE
CERTAIN THAT SWITCH IS "OFF" AND POWER
CORD IS REMOVED FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE CHECKING OR ADJUSTING
SAW.
1. Mark an "x" on one of the teeth which is SET
(bent) to the LEFT.
2. Place the.head of a combination square in the
GROOVE...adjust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of the MARKED tooth. Lock the
blade of the square.
3. Move square to REAR. rotate blade to see if
MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.
4. If tooth touches square at FRONT and
REAR...sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER
GAUGE GROOVE.
5If 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 AWAYfrom the
square if marked tooth pushes square out of
position in the groove.
