ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounding Instructions 1. (SEE FIGURE 1) All grounded, cord connected tools: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.2. Do not modify the plug provided –if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.7. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.8. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.9. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet.10. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.11. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Adjusting the Blade Bevel Indicator:With the blade positioned at 90 degrees, adjustthe blade bevel pointer to read "0" on the scale.

Adjusting Blade Parallel ToMiter Gauge Slots (Figure 29)The blade was adjusted parallel to the mitergauge slots at the factory. In order to insureaccurate cuts and help prevent kickback whencutting, this adjustment should be rechecked andif necessary, readjusted as follows:1.Disconnect machine from power source.2.Remove the blade guard.3.Raise the blade to its highest position and adjust the blade angle to 90 degrees to the table.4.Select a blade tooth with a "right set" and mark it with a pencil or marker.5.Using a Combination square (1) against the miter gage slot (2), adjust the rule of the square until it just touches the marked tooth. Lock the rule of the square.6.Rotate the blade and check the same marked blade tooth at the rear of the saw table in the same manner.If the front and back measurements are notidentical the blade is not parallel to the miter slotand adjustment is necessary.

Adjustment (Figure 30):1. Place the saw on its left side so that you can access the eight adjustment nuts (1,2, and 3) that secure the axis rod to the table. Make sure the table is secure.2. Use a 10 mm wrench to loosen all eight adjustment nuts about a half turn.3. Place the saw in the upright position.4. Move the blade carefully to the left or right until it is aligned.5. Check the blade to miter slot alignment with the combination square (see previous).6. Tighten the two front (1) and two rear (2) adjustment nuts. Reach under the front and rear of the table with a wrench to access these nuts.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS

1. DO NOT OPERATE table saw until it has been assembled and installed according to the "assembly" instructions of this manual.2. KEEP THE SAW TABLE free of tool and debris.3. USE AN AUXILIARY WORK SUPPORT when sawing long or wide work pieces to assure firm control of the work piece at all times.4. USE THE BLADE GUARD, spreader and anti-kickback device whenever possible. Use the guard on all operations where the saw blade cuts through the thickness of the work piece. 5. THE BLADE SHOULD PROJECT ONLY A MINIMAL DISTANCE ABOVE THE CUT - 1/8" to 1/4" for most operations.6. NEVER REACH over or behind the blade with the table saw operating. 7. WHEN USING THE TABLE SAW for dadoing, grooving or shaping, use a push block to keep your hands and fingers well away from the saw blade in case of kickback or other unexpected event.8. CHECK OFTEN to assure that guards return to their normal position quickly. If a guard seems slow to return or "hangs up," repair or adjust it immediately.9. DO NOT CUT FREEHAND (cutting without the use of a miter gauge or rip fence).10. WHEN CROSSCUTTING, use the miter gauge to assure a straight cut, not the rip fence. The cut off piece can bind between the fence and blade, causing kickback and possible injury.11. WHEN RIPPING, always use the rip fence to assure a straight cut.12. MAKE SURE THE BLADE AND FENCE ARE PARALLEL to each other. Pressure to feed the work piece (stock) should be against the direction of blade rotation and between the blade and the fence. Use a push stick to keep your fingers away from the saw blade. 13. USE A FEATHER BOARD to firmly hold the work piece against the fence and table when ripping narrow stock. 14.KEEP YOUR TOOL BLADES SHARP. Dull blades can cause binding, possible kick-back and injury.15. USE THE CORRECT BLADE for the job you are doing. Watch for overly heated or vibrating blades. Correct the condition before continuing.16. MAKE SURE THE BLADE IS INSTALLED TO ROTATE IN THE PROPER DIRECTION. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw.17. ONLOOKERS SHOULD BE KEPT OUT of the work areas. They distract the operator and make him more accident prone. A kickback or a broken carbide tip could send the stock or the tip flying with unpredictable results. 18. TURN THE TOOL OFF after each completed procedure.19. THE SAW SHOULD ALWAYS BE TURNED OFF and unplugged before making adjustments of any kind.20. TURN OFF, unplug when possible, and lock the table saw after each use. Remove and store the switch or lock key. 21. PREVENTING TABLE SAW KICKBACK Kickback is the ejection of the work piece from the saw back towards the operator. Table saw kickback may be caused by: •The kerfs of the work piece closing up and pinching the rear of the saw blade. •Wedging of the work piece between the fence and the rear of the saw blade (fence not parallel with saw blade). •A crooked cut which causes the work piece to bind against the sides of the blade as it passes through. •Edge of a work piece against the fence not straight.

5. Turn the tool off immediately and do not operate, until repaired, if tool begins to make abnormal noise, vibrations, produces smoke or burning odor.6. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Blade Elevation and Tilt Mechanism(Figure 25)After every five hours of operator the bladeelevation and tilt mechanism should be checkedfor looseness, binding or other abnormalities. Disconnect the saw from me power source, turnthe saw upside down and pull up and down onthe motor unit. Observe any movement in themotor mounting mechanism, looseness or play inthe blade elevation screw (1). Adjust as follows:1.Loosen jam nut (2).2.Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against bracket (4), then back off 1/6 turn.3.Tighten jam nut (2). The maximum allowable play of rod (1) is5/32" (4 mm). Place a small amount of drylubricant (such as graphite or silicon) on the rodat the thrust washer (5). Do not oil the threads ofrod. The rod must be kept clean and free of sawdust, gum, pitch or other contaminants forsmooth operation.

ADJUSTMENTAdjusting The Positive Stop At 90 & 45 Degrees (Figures 26, 27 & 28)Your saw is equipped with positive stops for rapid and accurate positioning of the saw blade at 90and 45 degrees to the table. To adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:

90 Degree Stop:1.Disconnect machine from power source.2.Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.3. Loosen the blade bevel lock knob, move the blade tilting mechanism as far as possible to the left and tighten the blade tilting lock knob.4.Place a square on the table with one end of the square against the blade (1) and check to see if the blade is at 90 degrees to the table. 5.If it is not, turn screw (2) counterclockwise to reduce the angle or clockwise to increase the angle.

45 Degree Stop:1.Disconnect machine from power source.2.Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.3.Loosen the blade tilting lock knob move the blade tilting mechanism as far as possible to the right and tighten the blade tilting lock knob.4.Place a square on the table with one end of the square against the blade (1) and check to see if the blade is at 45 degrees to the table.

When binding, pinching or wedging occur the motion of the saw blade tends to lift the wood and may hurl it back toward the operator.

Specific Safety Precautions In Preventing Kickback• Always use the rip fence to guide the work piece in a straight line when ripping.• Never freehand cut a work piece. Free handing causes crooked cuts and potential kickback. Crooked edges on the stock can also cause crooked cuts.• Make sure the fence is parallel to the blade. If the fence closes in toward the rear of the blade it will tend to wedge the wood against the blade and may cause kickback. • Never tilt the blade or saw table such that the work piece is trapped in the angle between the blade and the fence. This is a condition which has high potential of causing kickback. Use the fence to the side of the blade that results in an angle greater than 90 degrees between the blade and the table.• Keep the angle between the blade and fence open so that the work piece is free to absorb any misalignments.• Avoid standing directly behind the work piece when making a rip cut. • Always use the miter gauge when crosscutting, and hold the work piece firmly against it to assure a straight cut.

Other Precautions Which Should Be Taken To Prevent Kickback• A dull blade may cause a kickback. Keep blades sharp.• Make sure set tooth blades have adequate set. Tooth set provides clearance between the plate of the blade and the work piece, thus minimizing the probability of binding. Some saw blades are hollow or taper ground to provide clearance.• Keep saw blades clean. A buildup of pitch or sap on the surface of the saw blade increases the thickness of the blade and also increases friction on the blade surface. These conditions cause an increase in the potential of a kickback.• Do not cut wet wood. It produces higher friction against the blade. Also the blade tends to load up with wet sawdust, affecting a much greater probability of kickback.• Be very careful of stock which is pitty, knotty or warped. These are more likely to create pinching conditions and possible kickback.• Never use a bent, broken or warped saw blade. The probability of binding and creating a kickback is greatly increased.• Overheating a saw blade can cause it to warp and create a kickback. Buildup of sap on the blades, insufficient set, dullness, and unguided cuts can all cause an overheated blade.• Never use miter gauge with the rip fence

WARNING: CHEMICAL HAZARD - Use of this tool may cause exposure to chemicals that are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Dust and debris created during cutting, drilling, grinding or sanding on some materials may contain harmful chemicals. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Caution: THE SAW GUARD MUST ALWAYS BE USED. The guard has anti-kickback fingers to help prevent kickback and a splitter to prevent the saw kerf from closing and binding the blade.1.Set the blade height adjustment and blade bevel angle to the desired settings.2.Secure the rip fence (3) to the table (2) in the desired location.3.Place the workpiece (1) flat on the table with the edge tight against the fence.4.Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed. 5.Advance the workpiece slowly into the blade while holding it down and against the fence. Support large workpieces with both hands. Push forward only on the section of workpiece that will pass between the blade and fence. Caution: Never stand in the line of the saw cut when ripping.6.After the work piece is on the table, finish the cut with the push stick (4).7.Continue pushing the workpiece until it passes the blade guard and continues to the end of the table. Note: When ripping workpieces is longer than three feet, an out feed support is recommended.8. Turn the saw Off and allow the blade to stop before removing the workpiece. Caution: The cut-off stock may remain on the table (tilted up slightly and is caught by blade guard) or slide off the table to the floor. Do not "reach" for a falling cut-off or touch one that remains on the table until the saw blade has stopped.

Bevel RippingThis operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle of the blade is set to any angle otherthan 0. Warning: Cut with the workpiece and fence on the right side of the blade only.

Ripping Small PiecesIt is not safe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip larger pieces to obtain the desired size piece. Warning: Avoid injury from blade contact. Do not make through-cuts narrower than 1/2" (13 mm) wide.

Ripping (Figures 21 & 22) WARNING: • Never tilt the blade such that the workpiece is trapped in the angle between the blade and the fence. This is a condition which has high potential of causing kickback. Use the fence to the side of the blade that results in an angle greater than 90 degrees between the blade and the table.• Avoid standing directly behind the workpiece when making a rip cut.• Make sure the fence is parallel to the blade. If the fence closes in toward the rear of the blade it will tend to wedge the wood against the blade and may cause kickback. • It is NOT Safe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.Ripping is the operation of making a length-wise cut through a board using the rip fence (3) toposition and guide the work. One edge of the workpiece (1) rides against the rip fence while theflat side of the board rests on the table (2). Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must havea straight edge and make solid contact with the table.

Cross-Cutting (Figure 20) Warning: •Always use the miter gauge when crosscutting, and hold the workpiece firmly against it to assure a straight cut. •Never use miter gauge with the rip fence.Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gaugeto position and guide the work.1.Set the miter gauge angle, blade height adjustment and blade bevel angle to the desired settings.2.Place miter gauge into the selected table slot: •When straight cross-cutting (blade set 90 degrees to the table) the miter gauge can be used in either table slot. •When bevel cross-cutting (blade tilted), only use the miter gauge in the right table slot where the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands. 3.Place the workpiece against the miter gauge with the blade path aligned with cut line.4.Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed. 5.While holding the workpeice firmly against the miter gauge and table, slowly advance both the gauge and workpiece toward the saw blade. Start the cut slowly and continue until the workpiece is cut in two. Caution: Never touch a cut-off piece while the saw is running. Never pick up any short length of free work from the table while the saw is running. 6. Turn the saw Off and allow the blade to stop before pulling the workpiece back.

Bevel Cross-CuttingThis operation is the same as cross-cutting except the bevel angle of the blade is set to any angleother than 0.Note: For added safety and convenience the miter gage can be fitted with an auxiliary facing. Thisauxiliary wood-facing can be fastened to the front of the miter gauge by using two wood screwsthrough the slots, provided in the miter gage body and into the wood-facing.

Adjustment:IMPORTANT: The rip fence must be properly aligned to the miter gauge slot in order to help preventkickback when ripping.The saw blade is set parallel to the miter gauge slot at the factory and the fence must be parallelto the miter gauge slot in order to do accurate work and prevent kickback when ripping. To checkthe alignment:1.Position the fence (1) on the right side of the table and along one edge of the miter gauge slot. Clamp the fence to the table by pushing down the handle (2). The edge of the fence should be parallel with the miter gauge slot.2.If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle (2). 3.Holding the fence bracket (4) firmly toward the front edge of the table. Move the far end of the fence until it is parallel with the miter gauge slot. 4.Tighten screws (3) and push down on the handle (2).The clamping action of the fence should be sufficient to prevent the fence from moving duringoperation. If the fence is loose when the handle is in the locked (down) position adjust as follows:1.Lift up on the handle (2) to release the fence.2.Turning screw (5) clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the clamping action of the fence.

To operate:1.Inset the T-slot miter gauge bar (5) into either one of the two T-slotted miter gauge grooves located in the top of the saw table. •When straight cross-cutting (blade set 90 degrees to the table) the miter gauge can be used in either table slot. •When bevel cross-cutting (blade tilted), only use the miter gauge in the right table slot where the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands. 2.Loosen lock knob (1). Move the miter gauge body until the pointer (2) indicated the desired angle on the scale (3). Tighten the lock knob (1). Note: When the stop pin (6) is pushed in, the miter gauge body will stop at 90 and 45 degrees right and left. To rotate the miter gauge body past these points, pull out stop pin (6).

Adjustment:1.Loosen the lock knob (1). Set a framing square on the saw table with one edge tight against the side of the saw blade and the other edge against the miter gauge body (3). Tighten the lock knob.2.Loosen the pointer screw (4) and set the 0 mark on pointer to the 90 degree mark on the scale (3). Tighten the pointer screw.3.Adjustment to the index stops can be made by loosening lock nuts and turning the screws until they contact the stop pin (6) when the miter gauge is at 90 and 45 degrees on the scale. Then tighten lock nuts.
