The fence locks in place by applying pressure in a downward motion on the Rip Fence Handle PC15 . Rip fence alignment should be checked prior to using your saw. To check alignment of the rip fence, see alignment instructions on page 29. MITER GAUGE Insert Miter Gauge PC6 into each miter slot to make sure it slides freely.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° POSITIVE BEVEL STOPS There are positive stops at each end of the bevel range. To ensure accurate cuts, the Positive Stops MUST be positioned at exactly 90° and 45°. The Bevel Stops are properly adjusted as shipped. However, for maximum accuracy, you should check the position of the Stops upon assembly and from time to time to assure that the settings remain satisfactory.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT WITH THE BLADE This procedure requires the supplied 4mm T-Handle Allen Wrench HP21 and straight edge ruler. See Figure 27. Completely disconnect saw from power source before making any adjustments. 1. Carefully remove anti-kickback pawls, blade guard, and throat plate. 2. Loosen the two hex-head screws A shown in Figure 25. 3. Using a straight edge ruler, align riving knife with blade A B body, see Figure 26. 4.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE MITER GAUGE SCALE Use a combination square to check bar to head angle. If miter gauge bar is not square to miter gauge head, then adjustment is necessary. For adjustment, see below: Use the supplied 3/16 inch two-way Allen wrench L Shape HP23 to loosen the three Phillip screws located in the back of the miter gauge PC6 , seen in Figure 28 . 1. Loosen the knob A , seen in Figure 28. 2.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS ALIGNING FENCE PARALLEL TO MITER SLOT 1. Move rip fence PC4 adjacent to right miter gauge slot B and secure to the guide tube by lowering the fence clamping lever. 2. If the fence face A C , Figure 31, is not parallel to the miter slot B , raise the clamping lever and lift the fence and place it on the saw table. A 3. Adjust one or both of the set screws C 1/4 turn or less. 4. Replace fence on guide tube and verify the fence is parallel to the miter slot.
PREPARING TO CUT RAISING AND LOWERING THE BLADE For most applications, it is recommended that you raise the blade 1/8 inch (3.2mm) to 1/4 inch (6.4mm) above the top surface of the workpiece. Raise or lower the blade with the hand wheel A located on the front of the saw. See Figure 34. 1. Before raising or lowering the blade, be sure to loosen the lock knob B by turning it counterclockwise. B 2. To raise the saw blade, turn the hand wheel clockwise.
PREPARING TO CUT SELECTING AND STORING SAW BLADES Riving knives MUST be matched to saw blade dimensions in order to function effectively. The saw blade furnished with your new saw is a 10 inch (254mm) combination blade, used for cross cutting (across the grain) and ripping (with the grain) through the workpiece. The arbor hole of the blade is 5/8 inch (16mm) diameter. This blade will produce a good quality cut for most applications.
PREPARING TO CUT RIVING KNIFE POSITION NOTE: Safety devices, blade guard assembly and anti-kickback assembly have been removed in Figure 37 in order to show the location of specific features. When operating the saw, these safety devices should be in place and working properly. A The riving knife is a flat plate that fits into the cut made by the saw blade and effectively fights kickback by lessening the tension of the blade to bind in the cut.
PREPARING TO CUT CHECKING RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT Before connecting the table saw to the power source and operating the saw, ALWAYS inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check the riving knife alignment after each blade change. B A TO CHECK ALIGNMENT: 1. Horizontal Alignment: Lay a straight edge on the table against blade face A and make sure it extends out along the riving knife B , see Figure 39.
PREPARING TO CUT USING THE MITER GAUGE The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90°, 75°, 60°, 45° and 30°. To set the miter for an angled cut, see Figure 43 and: 1. Loosen the handle A . 2. Depress the thumb lever B . 3. Move the body of the miter gauge to the desired angle maximum 30° on either side. 4. Release the thumb lever and re-tighten the handle.
OPERATION Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury. READ ENTIRE MANUAL. In addition to reading these operating instructions, it is important to read and understand the entire manual before operating this saw. Follow all applicable instructions regarding assembly, preparation, and adjustment prior to making any cuts and comply with all safety rules and warnings in this section and elsewhere throughout this manual. 1.
OPERATION OVERLOAD PROTECTION Your saw is supplied with overload protection. If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading (cutting stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.) or low voltage, let the motor cool three to five minutes. Then depress the red reset button B , on the motor under the saw as indicated in Figure 46 on the previous page, and restart the saw. NOTICE: If the motor continually shuts off due to overloading, contact a qualified electrician.
RIP CUTS MAKING CUTS Rip cutting is performed predominantly in a parallel direction with the grain of the wood. Make sure blade is parallel to miter gauge slot prior to cutting. Instructions for adjustment on page 33. 1. Remove miter gauge. A 2. Make sure bevel angle is set to 0°. 3. Set blade to correct height for workpiece. 4. Install rip fence and lock it down parallel with and at desired distance from blade. 5. KEEP fingers at least 6 inches from the blade at all times.
CROSSCUTTING MAKING CUTS • Cross cutting is performed predominantly in a perpendicular direction with the grain of the wood. • Make sure blade is parallel to miter gauge slot prior to cutting. Instructions for adjustment on page 33. • NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting. The fence can be used to support a block being used as a cut-off gauge, as discussed below.
MAKING CUTS BEVEL CROSSCUTTING Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except the bevel angle A is set to an angle other than 90°. When making a bevel crosscut, place the miter gauge in the right miter slot so that the blade is tilted away from the gauge and hands. See Figure 50. 0º 45º MITER CUTS Miter cuts are cross cuts with the miter gauge set at an angle other than 90°. For instructions about setting miter gauge angles, see Preparing to Cut section beginning on Page 30.
MAKING CUTS NON-THROUGH CUTS The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves and rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made using a standard blade having a diameter of 10 inches or less. Non-through cuts are the ONLY type of cuts that should be made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly and anti-kickback pawls are reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES PUSH STICK In order to operate your table saw safely, you MUST use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would otherwise cause your hands to be within 6 inches (152mm) of the saw blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw. No special wood is needed to make additional push-sticks as long as it is sturdy and long enough with no knots, checks or cracks.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES FLIP DOWN FENCE Use the flip down fence when cutting thin stock that might normally slide underneath the regular rip fence or in which the blade guard would normally interfere with the fence to make the desired cut. To utilize this flip down feature for small, narrow cuts, you MUST slide the flip down part of the fence underneath the blade guard, so that the blade is still covered safely by the blade guard. Please see Figure 55.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES GROOVING AND RABBETING Clamping a featherboard in front of the blade can increase safety during non-through cuts, like grooving and rabbeting, and through cuts. Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting. A featherboard helps prevent kickback. FEATHERBOARD Featherboards are used to KEEP the work in contact with the fence and table as in Figure 58, and help prevent kickback.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES CUTOFF GAUGE When crosscutting a number of pieces to the same length, you can clamp a block of wood A , see Figure 59, to the fence and use it as a cut-off gauge. The block A MUST be at least 3/4 inch (19mm) thick to prevent the cut off piece from binding between the blade and the fence. Once the cut-off length is determined, lock the fence and use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece into the blade. A ALWAYS position the cut-off gauge in front of the saw blade.
MAINTENANCE To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before cleaning or servicing, before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting and when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. KEEP MACHINE CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
MAINTENANCE DUST CHUTE CLEAN OUT 1. Remove the hex screw located in the back of the dust chute, using the supplied 3/16 inch Two-Way Allen Wrench (L Shape) HP23 . See Figure 61. 2. Rotate the dust port downward, and clear any sawdust or woodchips that may be inside the dust chute. See Figure 62. 3.
