OPERATIONS

General

The Model W1761/W1762 will perform many types of oper- ations 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 knowl- edge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any opera- tion, stop using the machine!

If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom- mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced Table Saw operator before perform- ing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first!

READ and understand this entire instruc- tion manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Basic Controls

The basic controls for the table saw are shown in Figure 37. Setting up for a typical operation consists of the fol- lowing four steps:

1.Make sure the blade tilt is correct. If it needs to be adjusted, loosen the blade tilt lock, turn the blade tilt handwheel, and tighten the lock.

2.Set the blade height approximately 1/4" higher than the workpiece thickness by turning the blade height handwheel, then lock the blade height in place by tightening the blade height lock.

3.Adjust the fence to the desired width of cut, then lock it in place by firmly pushing the fence lock down until it stops.

4.The digital readout displays the current blade angle when the handwheel is moved and power is con- nected to the table saw. See Page 50 for setting the digital readout.

DO NOT investigate problems or adjust the table saw while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned OFF, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!
