when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a dull blade or undersized extensing cord. Inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again. Fig. OO USING THE DUST PORT (FIG. NN) 2 ! WARNING To prevent fire hazard, clean and remove sawdust from under the saw frequently. CUTTING OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece.
RIPPING (FIG. PP, QQ) ! ! WARNING To prevent serious injury: ● Never use a miter gauge when ripping. ● Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut. ● Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury. ● Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from the path of the blade.
featherboard (Fig. RR, SS) A featherboard is a device used to help control the workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or fence. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a friction hold on the workpiece and locked in place on the table with C-clamps. Test that it can resist kickback. 9. Never pull the workpiece back when the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF.
5. Attached the C-clamps (5) to secure the featherboard to the edge of the table. Fig. SS 1 3 2 21 in 3/8 in 4 3/8 in. thick plywood base 5 3/8 The edge must be parallel with the face AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. TT) Making the base: ● Start with a piece of 3/8 in. plywood at least 5-1/2 in. wide or wider and 21 in. long or longer. ● Cut the piece to shape and size as shown. Making the side: ● Start with a piece of 3/4 in. hardwood at least 1-3/4 in. wide or wider and 21 in. long or longer.
! 1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove on the table. 2. Adjust the blade height so that it is 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece. 3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to a 1 in. distance from the blade. 4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full speed.
USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (FIG. WW) Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing (1) 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 it to the miter gauge with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw blade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse. 3.
COMPOUND CROSSCUTTING (FIG. ZZ) 0°~45° Blade bevel & 0°~45° Miter angle This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a bevel angle. 2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (3) (not included) through the holes in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table. ! WARNING Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut.
DADO CUTS (Fig. cc, dd) 1. Before starting the table saw, lower the blade and riving knife assembly to the down position. 2. Remove the blade guard assembly and anti-kickback pawls assembly for non-through cut. 3. Use the featherboard (1) with C-clamps (3) to fasten the workpiece securely. 4. Mount the auxiliary fence (4) with C-clamps. 5. Use the push block (2) to move the workpiece. NOTE: Mount the featherboard to table as shown, so the leading edges of featherboard will help workpiece complete cutting.
Fig. cc 2 1 3 7. Check the saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the housing, insert, or motor when in operation. ! WARNING For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade guard assembly, anti-kickback pawls, riving knife and table insert when you finished the dado operation. Fig.
maintenance MAINTAINING YOUR TABLE SAW BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM (FIG. ee) After every five hours of operation, the blade raising mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked for looseness, binding, or any other abnormalities. 1. With the saw disconnected from the power source, turn the saw upside down and pull up and push down on the motor unit. 2. Observe any movement of the motor mounting mechanism. Loosen or play in the blade raising screw rod (1) should be limited to 1/8 in. or less. 3.
9. Place the new brush into the opening of motor, making sure the ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fits into. Do not overtighten the plastic cap. 10. Carefully set the saw in a upright position on a clean level surface. 11. Replace the blade guard, blade, rip fence, miter gauge and stand assembly to the table saw. NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the brushes go back in the same sides they came out.
