Getting To Know Your Table Saw

If you are making a rip type cut in thinner materials, the auxuiliary facing should be attached to the fence so that the bottom edge touches the top surface of the table. In this situation, the facing must be lower than the fence. This will prevent thin material from sliding under the rip fence.

19. BLADE GUARD

Protects the operator, and must always be in place and working properly for all thru-sawing cuts. That is all cuts whereby the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

To remove the guard for special operation, loosen socket head screw with the wrench provided and remove blade guard and spreader. DO NOT DISTURB THE SETTING OF THE SPREADER SUPPORT BRACKET. When replacing guard, Make sure spreader is between the support bracket and the clamping plate. TIGHTEN SOCKET HEAD SCREW SECURELY (See page 32).

20. TABLE INSERT

Is removable for removing or installing blade or other cutting tools.

!WARNING For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source before removing

insert.

To remove the insert:

A. Raise the blade above the table surface. B. Raise blade guard.

C. Using a screwdriver in slot at front of insert, lift from pocket in table.

Adjusting the table insert

The table insert should be adjusted so it is flush with the saw table surface.

A. Place a straight edge or square on the saw table extending over the insert.

B. If adjustment is necessary, adjust the insert flush with the table by turning four leveling screws

Never operate the saw without the proper insert in place. Use the saw insert when sawing; the dado insert when dadoing; and the molding insert when making molding cuts.

21. MITER GAUGE

Head can be locked in desired position for crosscutting or mitering by tightening the lock knob. ALWAYS SECURELY LOCK IT WHEN IN USE.

A template for drilling holes in the miter gauge 21 is provided on page 63, which allows you to attach an AUXILIARY FACING 23 to provide additional support to cut longer pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth straight wood, drill two holes through it and attach it with screws 24 (Fig. 3).

Example:

A. Drill 1/4" dia. holes thru miter gauge.

B. Drill 5/32" dia. holes thru (board 3/4" thick, 3" high, and desired length).

C. Attach with two No. 12 round head screws 1-1/2" long, 24, not included (Fig. 3).

Be sure screws never protrude above outside surface of facing.

Be sure facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw blade guard.

NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing so that it extends to the right of the miter gauge and use the miter gauge in the groove to the right of the blade.
