KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW

See Figure 3.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

15 AMP MOTOR WITH SOFT START - The saw has a powerful 15 amp motor with sufficient power to handle tough cutting jobs. It is made with all ball bearings, and has externally accessible brushes for ease of servicing.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth on the anti-kickback pawls point away from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled back toward the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.

BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of the workstand shows the exact blade angle.

BLADE - For maximum performance, it is recommended that you use the 10 in. carbide tipped combination blade provided with your saw. The blade is raised and lowered with the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are locked with the bevel locking lever. Additional blade styles of the same high quality are available for specific operations such as ripping. Your local dealer can provide you with complete information.

WARNING:

Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

BLADE GUARD - Always keep the guard down over the blade for through-sawing cuts.

BLADE HEIGHT LOCK KNOB - This knob, in the center of the height/bevel adjusting handwheel, locks the blade in place.

BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever under the worktable surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the angle setting of the blade.

HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL - Located on the front of the cabinet, this handwheel is used to lower and raise the blade for adjustments or blade replacement. The handwheel also makes the adjustment for bevel angles easy.

IND-I-CUT™ ALIGNMENT DISC - A plastic insert on which marks may be made to indicate the location of the cut on the workpiece.

LOCKING LEVER - The lever on the front of the rip fence releases the rip fence or locks it in place.

MITER GAUGE - This miter gauge aligns the wood for a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact angle for a miter cut, with positive stops at 0˚ and 45˚.

MITER GAUGE GROOVES - The miter gauge rides in these grooves on either side of the blade.

RAILS - Front and rear rails provide support for the rip fence.

RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece and is secured with the locking lever. Grooves run along the top and sides of the rip fence for use with optional clamps and accessories.

SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale provides precise measurements for rip cuts.

SPREADER- A metal piece of the blade guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access power switch located below the front rail. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the yellow switch key from the switch. Place the key in a location that is inaccessible to children and others not qualified to use the tool.
