Getting to Know Your Table Saw

1.Rip Fence...is locked in place by pushing the lock lever down until the lever rests on the stop. To move the fence, lift the lock lever and grasp the fence with one hand at the front. “T” slots are provided in the rip fence for attaching a wood facing when using the dado head, or molding head.

2.Micro-Adjust Rip Fence...allows the operator to accurately adjust the rip fence using only one hand. To move the fence push in on the micro-adjust knob and rotate.

3.Table Extension Lock

Lever...Locks the sliding table exten- sion.

4.Sliding Table Extension...provides additional working surface to support large workpieces and increase rip capability.

5.Rip Fence Storage...holds the fence when not being used.

6.Miter Gauge Storage...holds the miter gauge when not being used.

7.Two-Piece Base...supports table. For additional stability, holes are pro- vided in base to bolt the saw to a workbench or stand or sawhorses.

8.Blade Bevel Scale...shows the degree the blade is beveled.

9.Elevation/Bevel Handwheel

a.Elevates or lowers the blade. Turn the knob clockwise to ele- vate, counterclockwise to lower.

b.Use the knob to quickly tilt the blade from 0° to 45°. Rotate the outer hub for finer adjustments.

When the blade is tilted to the left as far as it will go, it should be at 45° to the table and the bevel

pointer should point to 45°. NOTE: There are limit stops inside the saw which prevent the blade from tilting beyond 45° to the left and 0°. (See “Adjust- ments and Alignments” section “Blade Bevel, or Squareness of Blade to Table”).

10.Blade Elevation Lock Knob...locks the blade at the desired height.

11.Blade Bevel Lock Lever...locks the blade in the desired bevel position. Lift the lever to the right to unlock push to the left to lock.

12.On-Off Switch

CAUTION: Before turning switch “ON”, make sure the blade guard is correctly installed and operating properly.

The On-Off Switch has a locking fea- ture. This feature is intended to help prevent unauthorized and possible hazardous use by children and oth- ers.

a. To turn saw ON, insert key, stand to either side of the blade, never in line with it, place finger under switch lever and pull end of lever out.

After turning switch ON, always allow the blade to come up to full speed before cutting. Do not cycle the motor switch on and off rapidly, as this may cause the sawblade to loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow the sawblade to come to a complete stop and retighten the arbor nut normally, not excessively. Never leave the saw while the power is ON.
