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 UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING.
1GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
TOOLS... SEE PAGE 2
2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW... SEE PAGE 15
3, BASIC SAW OPERATION... SEE PAG E 17
4, ADJUSTMENTS... SEE PAGE 23
5. MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 26
6. STABILITY OF SAW
If there _sany tendency for the saw to tio over or move
during certain cutting operations such as cutting
extremely large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the
sawshould 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.
LOCATION
The saw should be aositioned so neither the ooerator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in hne with the
saw blade.
8. KICKBACKS
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "KICKBACK'"
occurs when a part of the workplece binds between the
sawblade and the rip fence or other fixed object, rises
from the table, and is thrown toward the operator,
<eeD 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 paragel to the sawblade.
B. Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replacing 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 untiI you have pushed it all the
way past the sawbiade.
F. Using a"PUSH STtCK" (See Page 16) for ripping
widths of 2 to B in., and an auxiliary fence and push
block for ripping widths narrower than 2 in. (See
"Basic Saw Operation UsJngTbe Rip Fence" section.)
G. NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or
crosscutting,
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
orher operating contlol, a safety d_vice 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
D=
E.
F.
G.
H.
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 n glace for all "THRU-SAWING"
operations (sawing entirely thru the work) AND by
remowng all loose pieces from the table with along
stick of wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut
off.
Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for resawmg, dadoing, rabbeting, or
molding -- replace the guard as soon as that
operation is completed,
NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wooa scraos, etc,, except the
workpiece and related feed or support devices _for
the operation planned.
NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
NEVER place vour fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with
either hand to hold down or support the workplace,
remove wood scraos, or for any other reason. Avoid
awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move
into a sawolade or other cutting tool.
I. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND'"
alwa_,,s use either the np fence or the miter gauge to
oosition and guide the work.
J, NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting or the
miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT Jse 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.
K. 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.
L. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
M. 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.
N. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
O. 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.
10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A Dul!, gummy, or improperly sharpened or" set cutting
tOOIS 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 FREE 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 f 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 sawbtade guard.
13. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing ir normal operating
aosition. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting
tool as Fow 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 _roper 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 senseand
alertness at all times when the saw is being used,
18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
The saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset thermal
overload protector, designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exCeeds a safe value.
NOTE: The starting relay is a GRAVITY SENSITIVE
TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER ON WHILE THE SAW
IS UPSIDE DOWN AS THiS WILL DAMAGE THE
MOTOR
1, If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
move the saw switch lever to the "OFF" position
immediately and allow the motor to cool.
2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing
in the red RESET button on the front of the saw. If the
red I_utton Will not snag into place immediately, the
motor is still too hot and must be allowed to coo! for a
while longer.
3. As soon as the red button wi snap into running
position, the saw may be started and operated normally
by moving the saw switch lever to the "ON" position.
4. Frertuent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
with a fuse other than those recommended, Do not use
a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power
company,
5Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the maneplate voltage.
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor
terminals by no_ less than the voltage specified oll
nameplate.
6. Most motor troubles may be tracec to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (which results when small size wires are used i=_
the supply circuit} or when the supply circuit is
extremely long. Always check connection, load and
supply circuit when the motor fails [o aertorrn
satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table at
end of this section.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING and when RABBETING
acrossthe end of 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 causeaKICKBACK or
causeyour 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 caseof a
THROWBACK (Small cot-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
workpieees.., to remove cot-off pieces of material or
FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small piecesof cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them CFF 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 piecesof cut-off material that may
become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the sew
is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR
HANDS or causeaKICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF. After the blade hasstopped turning,
lift the guard and remove the p_ece.
WORK HELPERS
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operations".
Notice that n order to make some of the cuts, it s
necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like the
Push Stick the Push Block and the Au×iliarv Fence which
you can make yourself.
After you have made a few practice cuts, make these
"helpers" before starting any projects. Make the "'Pusll
Stick" first.

PUSH STICK
NOTCH
PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the Push Stick using a piece of 1x 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. × 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
tosether with glue and woodscrews.
AUXI LIARY FENCE
Make one using a piece of 3/8 in. and 3/4 in. plywood.
Fasten _ogether with glue and woodscrews_

CROSSCUTTI NG
CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across the
grain, at 90 O, 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 mite'r gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworklng. 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) should be
used 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 workpieee firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right.

tO SAWHORSE
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lock knob with your left
hand.
When crosscutting a long board, make sure that it is
supported.
You can make a simple support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.

When cutting long workpieces, invert the 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 asawhorse.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.

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 pieces6 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) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.
\STOP RODS
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 asalength
stop, Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the
table because the "swivel" of the clamps will not grip
properly. Place asmall block of wood between the
bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamps.
CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure that
the end of the block iswell in front of the sawblede, Be
sure it isclamped 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).
4. Make the cut.., pull the workpiece beck.., push the
cut off piece off the table with a tong push stick... OO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD
ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.

MITER CUTTING
MITER CUTTING is known :as cutting wood at an angle
ott_er than 90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same
procedure as you would for crosscutting,
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, an_ lock it.
The miter gauge may he 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 ock knob with your right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lock knob with your left
hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gaugefor greater accuracy,
BEVEL CROSSCUTI NG
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 desiredangle.
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 lOCKknob with your left hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gaugefor 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 gaugeand the blade to the desired angle.
.Make sure miter gauge is locked,
