Getting to Know Your Table Saw (continued)

15.Sawdust Ejection Port

Your table saw is equipped with a vacuum hookup. This feature will allow you to attach any standard

2-1/2 inch diameter wet/dry vacuum hose into the hole provided for convenient sawdust removal. If large scraps become lodged in the sawdust collector it may be necessary to remove the blade cover. To remove the blade cover, pull the two metal latches “inward”, tilt blade cover away from blade and lift up. Remove scraps and replace blade cover.

WARNING: Sawdust can clog motor. Motor could ignite saw- dust. Even if saw is connected to vacuum, blow out sawdust regularly to reduce the risk of fire.

Zero Clearance Insert...supports the workpiece right next to the blade to help prevent chipping and splintering. Also helps to prevent small off-fall pieces from

becoming wedged between the blade

and the large opening in conventional Zero Clearance Insert table insert.

Additional Safety Instructions When Using Zero Clearance Insert

1.Always turn the table saw power switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source outlet before removing or installing the insert.

2.Always wear safety goggles, not glasses complying with ANSI Z87 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package.

3.Make sure the sawblade or dado blade is not in contact with the insert before turing the saw “ON”.

4.Do not attempt to tilt the arbor while any blade is in the insert. The blade may bind, causing possible damage.

5.For initial installation the zero clearance insert must be securely clamped down with a board before plunging the blade up through it to cut a kerf.

6.When using blade stabilizers, check for proper clearance before raising the blade.
