SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS 1. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TOOL until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 13. NEVER reach behind or over the cutting tool with either hand for any reason. 14. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into cutting tool against the direction or rotation of the cutting tool only. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of circular saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person. 15.
CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. DD, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the tool, stand and all loose items from the carton. Remove the protective coating from the saw table surface. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the table surface with a good quality household floor paste wax. Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate the components and hardware for the table saw. Fig. 3 illustrates the components of the stand.

5. Assemble longer section of rear guide rail (P) Fig. 18, and shorter section of guide rail (R) to extension wings and saw table at points (A) with 16MM long hex head screw (S), two flat washers (T), lockwasher (V), and hex nut (W); and at points (B) and (C) Fig. 18, with 16MM long hex head screws (S), lockwasher (V) and one flat washer (T). NOTE: DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN HARDWARE AT THIS TIME. Hardware at point (C) Fig. 18, will be positioned between guide rails (P) and (R) as shown in Fig. 19.
LEVELING AND ADJUSTING FRONT GUIDE RAIL 1. MAKE CERTAIN THE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Raise saw blade to its highest level. C 2. With handle (A) Fig. 22 in the raised position, place rip fence (B) on the saw table as shown. NOTE: Make certain rip fence (B) is engaged on rear guide rail (C). Move rip fence (B) against saw blade as shown in Fig. 23. B A Fig. 22 E F 3. Carefully move front guide rail (D) Fig.
ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY 1. WARNING: WHEN ASSEMBLING THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ASSEMBLY, MAKE CERTAIN THE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. A 2. Assemble splitter bracket (A) to the end of the guard support rod using the two hex nuts and flat washers (B), as shown in Fig. 26. B B Fig. 26 3. Assemble the blade guard and splitter assembly (C) to the splitter bracket (A) using the hex head screw, star washer and flat washer (D) Fig.
FASTENING STAND TO SUPPORTING SURFACE IF DURING OPERATION THERE IS ANY TENDENCY FOR THE TOOL TO TIP OVER, SLIDE OR WALK ON THE SUPPORTING SURFACE, THE SAW STAND CAN BE SECURED TO THE FLOOR SURFACE. THE FOUR RUBBER FEET SUPPLIED WITH THE STAND FEATURE HOLES WHICH ALLOW EASY MOUNTING WITHOUT REMOVING THE SAW FROM THE STAND. OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING SAW The switch (A) is located on the front panel of the saw cabinet, as shown in Fig. 33.
ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS Your saw is equipped with positive stops that will position the saw blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows: A Fig. 36 Fig. 37 1. DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Turn the blade tilting handwheel clockwise as far as it will go. Place a square (A) on the table and against the blade, as shown in Fig. 36, and check to see if the blade is at 90 degrees to the table.
RIP FENCE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS A IMPORTANT: THE RIP FENCE MUST BE PROPERLY ALIGNED TO THE MITER GAGE SLOT IN ORDER TO PREVENT KICKBACK WHEN RIPPING. C 1. To move the fence (A) Fig. 41, along the guide rails, lift up on the fence locking lever (B), slide the fence to the desired location on the guide rails and push down on the locking lever (B) to lock the fence in position. B Fig. 41 2. The fence (A) Fig. 41, must be adjusted so it is parallel to the miter gage slots (C).
MITER GAGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS D E A 1. Your miter gage is equipped with individually adjustable index stops at 90 degrees and 45 degrees right and left. Adjustment to the index stops can be made by loosening lock nuts (A) Fig. 44, and tightening or loosening the three adjusting screws (B) against the stop link (C). B C B A 2. To operate the miter gage, loosen lock handle (D) Fig. 44, and move the body of the miter gage (E) to the desired angle.
TYPICAL OPERATIONS CROSS-CUTTING Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gage to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gage and advance both the gage and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 48. The miter gage may be used in either table slot. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does not cause interference of your hand or miter gage with the saw blade guard. The saw guard must always be used.
USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation. The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc. The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in Fig. 51.
USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, as shown Fig. 54. Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8″ to 13/16″ wide for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig. 55.
USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE It is necessary when performing special operations such as when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood facing (A) Fig. 59, to one or both sides of the rip fence, as shown. The wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through the holes provided in the fence. 3/4 inch stock is suitable for most work although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK 24 Fig. 61 1/2″ SQUARES CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/2″ WOOD CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/4″ WOOD NOTCH TO HELP PREVENT HAND FROM SLIPPING MAKE FROM 1/2″ OR 3/4″ WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MAT’L. TO BE CUT PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 61.
MAINTENANCE E CHANGING THE BLADE B 1. MAKE CERTAIN THE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. USE ONLY 10″″ DIAMETER SAW BLADES RATED FOR 5500 RPM OR HIGHER WITH 5/8″″ ARBOR HOLES. A 2. Raise saw blade to its maximum height and remove the table insert (A) Fig. 62. NOTE: Be careful not to lose two rubber washers (E). C 3. Using the open end wrench (B) Fig. 62, place wrench on flats on saw arbor and remove arbor nut (C) using wrench (D) by turning nut clockwise. Remove blade flange and saw blade.
C B D E F A Fig. 65 Fig. 66 BELT REPLACEMENT Should you find it necessary to replace the belt on your saw, proceed as follows: D 1. DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. E 2. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height and remove the blade guard and splitter, table insert and saw blade. Tilt the arbor to the 45 degree tilt position. F 3. Turn the saw upside down and place it on a flat nonscratch surface. 4. Remove the four screws (A) Fig. 65, and cover (B) from the end of the motor housing.
