Basic Table Saw Operation
Keeping the Area Clean
Sawdust and wood chips that fall under the saw will accumulate on the floor. Make it a practice to pick up and discard this dust when you have completed cutting (Fig. 31).
Sawdust Port
The sawdust port is located at the rear of the saw (Fig. 32). A dust collection system can be attached to this port to aid in the removal of sawdust from the work area.
On/Off Switch with Safety Key
The On/Off switch has a removable safety key to protect against unauthorized use.
1.To turn the saw ON, insert the safety key 1 into the switch 2 (Fig. 33). Move the switch upward to the ON position.
2.To turn the saw OFF, move the switch downward to the OFF position.
3.To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the safety key 1 and pull it out of the switch. With the safety key removed, the switch will not operate.
NOTE: If the safety key is removed while the saw is running, the saw can be turned OFF, but cannot be restarted without inserting the safety key.
Overload Reset Switch
!WARNING To prevent accidental startup if the overload reset switch is pushed, the On/Off switch
should be in the OFF position, and the plug should be removed from the power source while cool down takes place. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a dull blade. Inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again.
This saw has an overload reset switch 3 (Fig. 33) that will allow the motor to be restarted after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, perform the following:
1.Turn the On/Off switch 2 to the OFF position.
2.Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool.
3.Push in the overload reset switch 3.
4.Turn the On/Off switch to the ON position.
Using the Miter Gauge with “T” Bar
The miter gauge is equipped with a “T” shaped bar 4 which engages under retaining tabs 5 in the table’s miter gauge slots 6 (Fig. 34).
The tabs keep the miter gauge in the slot and will support it when pulled beyond the front of table as shown in figure 34. When using the miter gauge for 90°
The bar must be engaged under slot tabs before attempting any cutting operation using the miter gauge.
