To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)
Inspect Your Blade.
Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
Use The Right Tool. Dont force tool or attachment to
do a job it was not designed for.
Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels,
friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or
buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.
Cut only wood, wood like or plastic materials. Do not
cut metal.
Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:
- To reduce the risk of cutting tool failure and thrown
shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10 or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for
speeds of 5000 rpm or higher.
- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to
fit this saws 5/8 inch arbor.
- When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade
comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10
inch diameter blade. This keeps the spreader closest
to the blade.
- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to
snug it securely.
- Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth. Consult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.
- Keep blades clean of gum and resin.
- Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.
Inspect your work area.
Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor
must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.
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, dont 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. Dont force tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for.

Featherboard
See Work Feed Devices section for
Material and Dimensions
Before Starting.
To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade,
make sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.
Before thru-sawing, check the anti-kickback pawls. The
pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points
become dull. (See Maintaining Your Table Saw - AntiKickback Pawls section.)
Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may
be cut on your saw. However, since these are usually
quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may
not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially careful in
your setup and cutting procedures.
While Thru-sawing.
To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade,
always push forward on the section of the workpiece
between the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push
forward on the piece being cut off.
Before Starting.
Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small to
extend across the full length of the miter gauge face
during the cut. This lets you properly hold the miter
gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away
from the blade.
While Cutting
To reduce the risk of blade contact, always hold the
miter gauge as shown in Basic Saw Operations Using The Miter Gauge.
tool moves, adjust all four leveler feet to support the tool.
Put the tool on a firm level surface where there is plenty
of room to handle and properly support the workpiece.
Molding
A non through cut which produces a special shape in the
workpiece used for joining or decoration.
Ploughing
Grooving with the grain the length of the workpiece, using
the fence. (A type of non-through cut)
Push Stick
A device used to feed the workpiece through the saw during narrow ripping type operations which helps keep the
operators hands well away from the blade.
Push Block
A device used for ripping type operations too narrow to
allow use of a push stick.
Rabbet
A notch in the edge of a workpiece. (A type of nonthrough cut)
Resin
A sticky, sap based substance that has hardened.
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
The number of turns completed by a spinning object in
one minute.
Rip Cut
A cutting operation along the length of the workpiece.
Sawblade Path
The area of the workpiece or table top directly in line with
either the travel of the blade or the part of the workpiece
which will be, or has been, cut by the blade.
Set
The distance that the tip of the sawblade tooth is bent (or
set) outward from the face of the blade.
Throw-Back
Throwing of pieces in a manner similar to a kickback.
Thru-Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends completely through the thickness of the workpiece.
Trailing End
The workpiece end last cut by the blade in a ripping operation.
Workpiece
The item on which the cutting operation is being performed. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly
referred to as faces, ends, and edges.

personnel.
WARNING: If not properly grounded, this tool can
cause an electrical shock, particularly when used
in damp locations, in proximity to plumbing, or out
of doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is the
potential of a secondary hazard, such as your
hands contacting the sawblade.

Manual
Reset
Button
Your saw is equipped with a manual-reset thermal-overload protector designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe level, when
motor is overloaded or when a low voltage condition
exists.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of thrown objects or
blade contact from unexpected starting. If the protector stops the saw motor, immediately turn the
saw switch OFF, remove the key and allow motor
time to cool.
1. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the overload protector can be reset by pushing the red button
on the end of the motor. If the red button will not click
into place immediately, the motor is still too hot and
must be allowed to cool for a while longer.
The time required for the motor to cool may be equal to
the length of time the saw was used before the thermal
overload protector opened. NOTE: An audible click will
indicate the protector is reset, push hard to hear the
click.
2. As soon as the red button is reset, the saw may be
started and operated normally.
3. Frequent blowing of fuses or tripping of circuit breakers may result if:
a. Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you
feed too rapidly or if saw is misaligned.
b. Motor circuit is fused differently from recommendations - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/
breaker. Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.
Wire Sizes
NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and
is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table shown to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension
cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-prong receptacles which
accept the tools plug.

NOTE: Hold the head of the combination square firmly
against the edge of the miter gauge groove during all
measurements.
4. Move the square to the rear of the blade. Rotate the
blade so the marked tooth is in the rear and see if the
marked tooth again touches the blade of the square.
5. If the marked tooth touches the square at the front
and at the rear of the sawblade, the blade is parallel
to miter gauge slot. The parallelism is correct. Proceed to the Checking Blade Tilt, or Squareness of
Blade to Table.
6. If square does not touch the marked tooth at the rear
and front equally (gap is greater that 0.015 inch
thickness of 4 pages from Owners Manual) or tooth
interferes with square, the mechanism underneath
must be adjusted to make the blade parallel to the
miter gauge groove.
7. Tighten the tilt lock handle located at the front of the
saw.
8. Loosen the left and right micro-adjust set screws on
the center lug of the rear trunnion.
9. Loosen the three mounting screws that hold the front
trunnion and the three mounting screws that hold the
rear trunnion using a 9/16" wrench. The front center
trunnion bolt can be accessed through the slot for the
tilt lock handle in the front of the saw.
10. Position the sawblade, by moving the trunnion
assembly, in the slot of the table insert maintaining a
minimum of 1/8" clearance between the right side of
the blade and the table insert (viewed from rear of
saw) and with 9/16" wrench, lightly tighten the center
bolt on the front trunnion.
11. Lightly tighten the center bolt on the rear trunnion.
12. Standing at the rear of the saw, determine which
direction the rear of the sawblade must move to make
it parallel to the miter slot. To move the rear of the
blade to the right - tighten the right set screw. To
move the rear of the blade to the left - tighten the left
set screw.
NOTE: When tightening one set screw it may be necessary to loosen the opposite set screw first.
13. Using the set screws move the rear of the blade in the
desired direction. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until blade is
parallel to miter gauge slot.
14. Tighten the opposite set screw to hold the trunnion in
position when measurement at the front and rear of
the sawblade are equal.
15. Securely tighten the left and right trunnion screws on
the rear and front turning using a 9/16" wrench.
16. Recheck the marked blade tooth at the front and rear
position to insure that the adjustment has not moved.
17. If the adjustment moved, loosen the four bolts and
repeat steps 13 - 15.
18. When the adjustment is correct loosen both set
screws and securely tighten the center bolts on the
front and rear trunnion.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)
Inspect Your Blade.
Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels,
friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or
buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.
Cut only wood, wood like or plastic materials. Do not
cut metal.
Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:
- To reduce the risk of cutting tool failure and thrown
shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10 or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for
speeds of 5000 rpm or higher.
- Always use unbroken, balanced blades designed to
fit this saws 5/8 inch arbor.
- When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade
comes through the workpiece top), always use a 10
inch diameter blade. This keeps the spreader in closest to the blade.
- Do not over tighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to
snug it securely.
- Use only sharp blades with properly set teeth. Consult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.
- Keep blades clean of gum and resin.
- Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.
Inspect your work area.
Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor
must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.
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, dont 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. Dont force tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for.

Many people custom build their own jigs and fixtures. Jigs
and fixtures are often designed for a particular cut.
You can use your table saw to easily make many jigs and
fixtures. To get you started, weve included instructions
for some simple ones. After you have made a few practice cuts, make up these jigs before starting any projects.
The use of these devices is explained in Basic Saw
Operations section.

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. Perform the first ripcut along the side
of the 3/8" wide strip. Next, ripcut the 3/8" plywood to a
width of 5-1/8".
Crosscut the 3/8" plywood to 12" long.
Crosscut a 2-1/2" piece off the 3/8" wide by 3/8" thick
strip and save this short piece for later.
The next cuts will create the 3/8" by 9-1/2" notch in the
base. Mark the long edge of the board 2-1/2" from one
end. Make a crosscut into the edge on the mark, stopping about 3/4" into the board. Set the saw and rip the
width to 4-3/4" along the same edge as the stopped
crosscut. Stop the ripcut where the two cuts intersect.
Turn off the saw and remove the base piece. The base
should now measure as shown.

Crosscutting
Definition: A cutting or shaping operation made across
the width of a workpiece.
The graduations on the miter gauge provide ample accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, make a trial cut and then
recheck it with a precision square, or protractor.
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, dont 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: Gluing a piece of sandpaper to the face of the
miter gauge head can help prevent the workpiece from
creeping while it is being cut.
The miter gauge head is locked in position by twisting the
lock knob clockwise. Always tighten it securely when in
use.

Repetitive Crosscutting
Definition: Cutting a quantity of pieces the same length
without having to mark each piece.
Follow all safety precautions and operational instructions for cross cutting.
When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece,
make sure it is adequately supported.
WARNING: Never use the rip fence as a direct
length stop because the cutoff piece could bind
between the fence and the blade causing a kickback.

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.
When using the miter gauge in the right hand groove,
hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock
knob with your left hand.
Bevel Crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except
that the wood is cut at an angle...other than 90 with the
bottom flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Always 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 lock knob with your
left hand.
Use the auxiliary fence/work support for additional
support of the workpiece.
Compound Crosscutting
Compound 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 bottom flat side of the
wood.
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired
angle...Make sure miter gauge is locked.

Ripping, bevel ripping, resawing and rabbeting are performed using the rip fence together with the auxiliary
fence/work support, push stick or push block.
While Thru-sawing:
To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade,
always push forward on the section of the workpiece
between the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push
forward on the piece being cut off.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of kickback, push
forward only on the part of the workpiece that will
pass between the blade and the fence.

Dadoing
Dadoing is cutting a groove into the workpiece. There are
a wide variety of dado heads available - be sure and consult the specific instructions included with your dado
head.
WARNING: For your own safety; always read,
understand and follow all directions in the instructional booklet furnished with the dado head.
The slot provided for the saw blade in the regular table
insert is too small for the dado head to pass through.
Therefore, a special dado insert must be purchased.
Dado
Insert
Saw
Arbor
A dado is never used for thru-sawing or cutting completely through a workpiece. It is used for non-thru sawing, cutting part way into the workpiece. Therefore, the
blade guard and spreader cannot be used and must be
removed. Use caution. Use miter gauge, rip fence, featherboards, or push sticks as required.
WARNING: For your own safety, always replace the
blade, table insert, guard and spreader when you
are finished dadoing.
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. It is not necessary to install the outside
loose collar before screwing on the arbor nut. Make sure
the 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.
