2. Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across the grain. 10 cross-cut blades have between 60-80 teeth and a shallow gullet. SEE FIG 45. 5.Dado Blade: There are two types of dado blades: stack and wobble. Stack dadoes involve more setup time, but they provide a superior finish cut when compared to a wobble dado. Dado blades require 13/16" max use of accessory dado table insert. Fig.45 This section on blade selection is by no means comprehensive.
RIPPING Do not stand directly behind the workpiece when ripping. SEE FIG.49 Ripping means to cut with the grain of the wood. In other materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping simply means to cut lengthwise. To rip a board: 1.Inspect the board for soundness.You will need a straight edge to rip with accuracy. Your workpiece may need to be jointed flat before attempting to cut on the table saw. Fig.49 2.Set the rip fence to the desired distance from the Blade.

Reconnect the saw to the power source. 6.
LUBRICATION PROTECTION CAST IRON TABLE FROM RUST The table saw has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing that do not require any additional lubrication from the operator. Use a wire brush to clean off the worm gears and trunnions and apply a white lithium grease to keep them lubricated. The environment and frequency of human contact can have a very detrimental impact on unpainted cast iron surface.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 25
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUNDING provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance With ALL local codes and ordinances. The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord.
