Safety Instructions for Basic Saw Operations Before Each Use Inspect your saw. • To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, turn the switch off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before raising or removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing the setup, or adjusting anything. • Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any other conditions that may affect the way the saw works.
• To reduce the risk of burns or other fire damage, never use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases. • To reduce the risk of injury, don’t do layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while blade is spinning. It could cut or throw anything hitting the blade. Plan your work • Use the right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Inspect your workpiece. • Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
Safety Instructions for Basic Saw Operations (continued) • Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles, not glasses, complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break.
trapped inside the guard. • Turn saw “OFF”. • Remove switch key. • Wait for blade to stop before lifting the guard. Before Leaving The Saw. • Turn the saw off. • Wait for blade to stop spinning. • Unplug the saw. • Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool. • Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
Work Feed Devices (continued) Square Head Bolt Wood Facing Flat Washer 9/32 Diameter Hole Hex Nut Fence 1-3/8" Lockwasher Counterbore 3/4 Diameter x 3/8 Deep Push Block There are any number of ways to properly cut your workpieces to make a push block. The following steps describe one way you can make a push block. Making the base: • Start with a piece of 3/8 inch plywood at least 5-5/8 inches wide or wider and 12 inches long or longer. • Make two ripcuts.
Making the handle: • Miter crosscut a piece of 3/4 inch thick plywood to shape and size shown: NOTE: The mitered corners can be any size that looks like the drawing (about 1-1/2" by 1-1/2"). Putting it Together • Using good quality woodworking glue, glue the 3/8" x 3/8" x 2-1/2" piece strip saved earlier to the base as shown. IMPORTANT: Do not use nails or screws. This is to prevent dulling of the sawblade in the event you cut into the push block.
Work Feed Devices (continued) Fence Extension When ripping sheets of thin material such as 1/8" hard board or similar material in excess of 24" wide, install the fence extension to support the edge of the work and prevent material from sliding under rip fence. 26-7/8" 3/4" Thick Plywood Base Making the base: • Start with a piece of 3/4" plywood at least 4" wide and at least 27" long. • Cut the base to size as shown. 3/8" 1" Dia.
Basic Saw Operations Using the Miter Gauge WARNING: For your own safety, always observe the following safety precautions in addition to the safety instructions on pages 3-9 & 48-51. The miter gauge is used when crosscutting, miter cutting, bevel cutting, compound miter cutting, dadoing and when rabbeting across the end of a narrow workpiece.
Basic Saw Operations (continued) Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse. (As seen on previous page.
Miter Crosscutting Miter cutting is known as cutting wood at an angle other 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, and lock it. • 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 workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right hand.
Basic Saw Operations (continued) Using the Rip Fence WARNING: For your own safety, read and always observe all safety precautions listed in manual and on saw. Ripping, bevel ripping, resawing and rabbeting are performed using the rip fence together with the auxiliary fence/work support, push stick or push block. Additional Safety Instructions for Rip Cuts • Never use the miter gauge when ripping • Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 inches or more from the blade.
Ripping Definition: Cutting operation along the length of the workpiece. Position the fence to the desired width of rip and lock in place. Before starting to rip, be sure: 1. Rip fence is parallel to sawblade. 2. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade. 3. Anti-kickback pawls are functioning properly. When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a work support. A simple support can be made by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.
Basic Saw Operations (continued) When “width of rip” is narrower than 2” the push stick cannot be used because the guard will interfere...use the auxiliary fence and push block. Use the T-slots in the rip fence to attach the auxiliary fence. See “Work Feed Devices/Attaching Wood Face Board” section of this manual Feed the workpiece by hand along the auxiliary fence until the end is approximately 1” past the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the push block.
Using Featherboards for ThruSawing Work Featherboards are not employed for thrusawing operations when using the miter gauge. Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table as shown, and to help stop kickbacks. Use the T-slots in the rip fence to attach a 7-1/2" high flat facing board, the full length of the fence, as shown. Mount featherboards to facing board and table as shown, so that leading edges of featherboards will support workpiece.
Basic Saw Operations (continued) Mount featherboards to facing board and table as shown, so that leading edges of featherboards will support workpiece until cut is complete, and the workpiece has been pushed completely past the cutter (sawblade, dado-head, etc.) with a push stick, as in ripping. Before starting the operation (switch “OFF” and blade below table surface): 1. Install featherboards so they exert pressure on the workpiece; be positive they are secure. 2.
Using Carbide Tipped Blades WARNING: To reduce the risk of cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel (broken pieces of blade) read and understand all the warnings and instructions which come with carbide tipped blades. Failure to heed all carbide tipped blade warnings and safety instructions can result in serious injury. Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Take care when mounting, using and storing carbide blades to prevent accidental damage.
Basic Saw Operations (continued) arbor nut is tight. When cutting a “deep” dado or a wide groove it is necessary to remove only a small amount of material (1/8"-1/4") at a time. Continue to increase dado elevation until the desired depth is reached. The dado head is assembled to the saw arbor in the same manner as the saw blade. The arbor on the saw, is long enough so that the widest cut that can be made is 13/16" wide.
Molding Molding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the workpiece. With a molding head and a selection of different knife shapes it is possible for almost any kind of molding (base, cove, bead, etc.) to be produced. There are a wide variety of molding heads available as well as many different shapes of knives. Be sure and consult the specific instructions included with your molding head.
Adjustments WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source outlet before making any adjustments. Knob Miter Gauge Head Miter Gauge NOTE: The graduations are manufactured to very close tolerances which provide ample accuracy for fine woodworking. In some cases where extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then recheck it.
Maintaining Your Table Saw Maintenance Anti-Kickback Pawl WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your saw. Spreader Round • Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the saw cabinet and the motor. • Clean your cutting tools with a gum and pitch remover.
Lubrication The saw motor bearings have been packed at the factory with proper lubricant. See motor label for lubrication instructions. The following parts should be oiled occasionally with SAE no. 20 or no. 30 engine oil. 1. Tilt screw threads and pivot nut. (First clean with a solvent recommended for gum and pitch removal.) 2.
