Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) OPERATIONS General This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Operation Overview Workpiece Inspection The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during a typical operation, so the controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand. Some workpieces are not safe to cut on this machine or may need to be modified before they can be safely cut.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Non-Through & Through Cuts Non-Through Cuts A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock, as shown in Figure 46. Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from kickback because the blade guard must be removed. However, the splitter/riving knife MUST be installed because it still provides some protection.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Blade Guard & Splitter/ Riving Knife The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that consists of the guard and splitter/riving knife assembly (see Figure 48). Each of these components have important safety functions. Guard Understanding the Blade Guard The guard encloses the top of the blade to reduce the risk of accidental blade contact and contain flying chips or dust.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Blade Guard Installation & Removal The blade guard fits over the splitter/riving knife and is secured in place with an M10-1.5 x 25 cap screw and an M10-1.5 lock nut (see "Mounting Screw" in Figure 49). These are the only fasteners that need to be installed/ removed when installing or removing the blade guard.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Secure the splitter/riving knife so that the top of it is 1–5mm below the top level of the blade, as shown in Figure 51. Minimum 1mm Maximum 5mm Height Difference The height difference between the splitter/riving knife and the blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way through the thickness of the workpiece). Riving Knife Figure 51.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Safety Tips Your safety is important. The tips below are intended to supplement SECTION 1: SAFETY. But remember, no safety list can cover every situation. The operator is ultimately responsible for their own safety, as well as the safety of bystanders. Every cutting operation is uniquely different and may require safety equipment or safety procedures not mentioned in this manual.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Blade Size Requirements The splitter/riving knife included with this machine is 0.090" (2.3mm) thick and is only designed for 10" diameter blades. When choosing a main blade, make sure the blade size meets the requirements listed below. The thickness of the blade body and teeth can be measured with calipers or any precision measuring device. Blade Size Requirements: • Body Thickness: 0.079"–0.090" (2.0mm–2.3mm) • Kerf (Tooth) Thickness: 0.122"–0.129" (3.1mm–3.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Laminate Blade Features (Figure 58): • Best for cutting plywood or veneer • 40-80 teeth • Triple chip tooth profile • Very shallow gullet Thin Kerf Blade: A blade with thinner kerf than a standard blade. Since the splitter/riving knife included with this table saw is sized for standard blades, thin kerf blades cannot be used on this saw unless they meet the Blade Requirements specified in this manual; otherwise, they will increase the risk of kickback.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Changing Main Blade Hole for Arbor Lock Tool This saw performs best with high-quality sharp blades. Whenever the blades become dull, replace or sharpen them. To change the main blade, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table) and raise the main blade as far as it will go. 3.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Changing/Adjusting Scoring Blade Arbor Lock Tool The scoring blade included with the sliding table saw has wedge shaped teeth. The kerf thickness is adjusted by changing the height of the scoring blade. Tighten OPERATIONS To change the scoring blade, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ (blade 90˚ to table), and raise the scoring blade all the way up. 3.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Rip Cutting This saw has the capability of rip cutting large panels (Figure 65). The sliding table removes the burden of sliding a large and heavy panel over a stationary table surface. This saw also has the capability of rip cutting smaller boards, using the machine as a traditional table saw (Figure 66). Smaller, lighter boards are easier to slide across the stationary cast iron table surface to the right of the saw blade.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Rip Cutting with Rip Fence Table Lock 1. Slide the crosscut table out of the way. 2. Lock the sliding table into a stationary position (see Figure 68). Note: The table will only lock in place when it is centered with the saw cabinet. Figure 68. Sliding table lock. 3. Place the rip fence in the vertical position for larger workpieces, or in the horizontal position for angled cuts and for small workpieces (see Figure 69).
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Crosscutting This saw can crosscut full size panels with the crosscut fence in the forward or rear position, although it is easier to load full size panels with the crosscut fence mounted in the forward position (see Figure 72). Forward Mounted Crosscut Fence Figure 72. Crosscut fence mounted in forward position. Mounting the crosscut fence in the rear position (Figure 73) gives greater stability for crosscutting smaller panels. Figure 73.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Crosscutting Full Size Panels 1. Install the crosscut fence in the forward mounting location shown in Figure 75 and lock it in place. 2. Check to make sure the fence is at 90˚. If necessary, adjust it as described in Calibrating Crosscut Fence 90° Stops on Page 72. 3. Set either flip stop to the desired width-of-cut. Extend the crosscut fence slide if the workpiece is more than 74". 4. Load the workpiece onto the table saw (Figure 72). 5.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Miter Cutting The crosscut fence allows miter cuts from 0˚ through 135˚. The table mounted miter scale has a resolution of 1˚. To perform a miter cut, do these steps: 1. Slide the crosscut table to the front edge of the sliding table and lock it in place. 2. Place the crosscut fence center stud in the left or right stud hole of the crosscut table. The fence can be installed as shown in Figure 77 for 90˚ to 135˚ cuts, or as shown in Figure 78 for 0˚ to 90˚ cuts.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Dado Cutting Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes are "non-through" cuts that can be made with a dado blade or a standard saw blade. Figure 79 shows a cutaway view of a dado cut being made with a dado blade. This saw can only accept a dado blade with 5⁄8" arbor hole and maximum width of 13⁄16".
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Cutting Dados with a Dado Blade Because dado blades are much wider than standard blades, they place a greater amount of force against the workpiece when cutting. This additional force increases the risk of kickback, requiring the operator to take additional steps when cutting to keep their injury risk at an acceptable level.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Cutting Dados with a Standard Blade A ripping blade (described on Page 39) is typically the best blade to use for cutting dadoes when using a standard blade, because it removes sawdust very efficiently. Cut 1 Blade Fence Workpiece OPERATIONS To use a standard saw blade to cut dadoes, do these steps: Figure 85. First cut when using a single blade for making a dado. 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Mark the width of the dado cut on the workpiece.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Rabbet Cutting Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet cut is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade. Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece with a dado blade requires a sacrificial fence (see Figure 88). Make the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and 3 ⁄4" thick. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps, making sure they are all secure and tight.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Cutting Rabbets with a Standard Blade A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently. (See Page 39 for blade details.) Also, a sacrificial fence is not required when cutting rabbets with a standard blade. 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Ensure that the splitter/riving knife and standard table insert are properly installed. 3.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Resawing Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that you use a bandsaw instead. A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and resawing with one is fairly easy and safe.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) To build the resaw barrier, do these steps: 1. Cut your wood pieces to the size specified previously. If you are using hardwood, cut the pieces oversize, then joint and plane them to the correct size to make sure they are square and flat. 2. Pre-drill and countersink four holes approximately 3 ⁄8" from the bottom of the 5 1⁄2" tall wood piece. 3.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Resawing Operation The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when resawing. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate. Motor overloading and blade wear can be reduced by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly. Components Needed for Resawing: Zero-clearance Table Insert....................................1 Ripping Blade 10"................................................1 Clamps.............................
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) 8. 9. Connect power to the saw, turn it ON, and use a push stick or push block to feed the workpiece through the blade, using a slow and steady feed rate. Flip the workpiece end for end, keeping the same side against the fence, and run the workpiece through the blade again. 10. If necessary to complete the operation, repeat Steps 7–9 until the blade is close to half of the height of the board to be resawn.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) SHOP-MADE SAFETY ACCESSORIES Featherboards Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback, especially when used together with push sticks. They also maintain pressure on the workpiece to keep it against the fence or table while cutting, which makes the operation easier and safer because the cut can be completed without the operator’s hands getting near the blade.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) 4. 5. Rout a 1⁄4"– 3⁄8" wide slot 4"–5" long in the workpiece and 1"–2" from the short end of the featherboard, as illustrated in Figure 97. Drill a 1⁄4" hole in the center of the bar, then countersink the bottom to fit a 1⁄4"-20 flat head screw. 7. Mark a 4" line through the center of the countersunk hole in the center, then use a jig saw with a narrow blade to cut it out. 8.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Mounting Featherboard with Clamps 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Lower the saw blade, then adjust the fence to the desired width and secure it. 3. Place the workpiece against the fence, making sure it is 1" in front of the blade. 4. Place a featherboard on the table so all fingers point forward and contact the workpiece evenly (see Figure 100 for an example). 5. Secure the featherboard to the table with a clamp. 6.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Push Sticks Push Stick Prohibition Zone When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push stick can absorb damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers. Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12" of the blade.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Push Blocks When used correctly, a push block reduces the risk of injury by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In the event of an accident, a push block often takes the damage that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers. A push block can be used in place of or in addition to a push stick for feeding workpieces into the blade.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Zero-Clearance Insert A zero-clearance insert can be made for the saw in about 30 minutes, and must be made of 3⁄4" furniture quality plywood or hardwood. (We recommend making at least 6–12 while you are going through the process, so you have plenty on hand for varying blade widths, heights, or angles. A zero-clearance insert is required if you want to install a dado blade.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) 7. Use the 7⁄32" drill bit to drill holes completely through the new table insert. 8. Install the 13⁄32" drill bit and use the included table insert as a guide to set the depth stop on your drill press to countersink the holes. 9. Countersink the holes you drilled in Step 7 (see Figure 110), so the heads of the mounting screws can be recessed into the table insert when installed. 10.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Outfeed & Support Tables One of the best accessories for improving the safety and ease of using a table saw is simply placing a large table (outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece (see Figure 113). Additionally, another table to the left of the saw (support table) can also help support large workpieces so they can be cut safely and accurately. Support Table Outfeed Table Figure 113. Example of support and outfeed tables.

Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Scoring Belt Replacement 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Tilt the blade to 45˚ and lower it as far as it will go. 3. Remove the motor cabinet door. 4. Pull the tensioner away from the scoring belt (Figure 119) to relieve belt tension and remove the scoring belt from the pulleys. Note: Turn the belt sideways to squeeze the flat part through the small gap between the bottom pulley and the casting. 5. 6. Scoring Belt Scoring Belt Tensionser Figure 119.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) 45° Stop 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER! 2. Adjust the blade angle until it hits the 45° positive stop and check the blade angle with a 45° square. — If the blade is not 45° to the table, loosen the two set screws that secure the 45˚ tilt stop nut shown in Figure 122. (This nut can also be accessed from the front of the saw by moving the sliding table all the way forward.) 3. 4.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) 6. Measure the difference between the two positions (use the feeler gauge if using the adjustable square). Make note of the difference between the two measurements. Parallel Adjustment Screw — If the gap is the same on both sides or the difference is 0.004" or less, no adjustments to the table parallelism need to be made. — If the difference is greater than 0.004", then the sliding table parallelism must be adjusted. Proceed to Step 7. 7.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Calibrating Crosscut Fence 90° Stops Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be square. This procedure can be done by using a piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as necessary. To square the crosscut fence with the blade, do these steps: 1.
Model W1811 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/14) Splitter/Riving Knife Mounting Block The splitter/riving knife must be aligned with the blade when installed. If the splitter/riving knife is not aligned with the blade, then the workpiece will be forced sideways during the cut, which will increase the risk of kickback. The splitter/riving knife mounts to a block that can be repositioned to correctly align the splitter/riving knife to the blade.
