Safety precautions before operation
The operation of power tools involves a certain amount of hazard for the operator. Before
Attempting regular work we recommend you get the feel of operations using scrap lumber to check
settings. Read entire instructions before you start to cut workpiece. Always pay attention to safety
precautions to avoid personal injury.
Push stick construction
A push stick is supplied with this table saw and should be used whenever possible. If you loose or
misplace the push stick, Fig.21 shows an illustration of how to make one yourself. It is recommended
to use a good quality plywood or solid wood, 1/2"or 3/4"thick.
Operation
Plain sawing includes ripping and crosscutting, plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental
nature. The methods on this page feature safety.As with all power tools there is a certain amount of
hazard involved with the operation and use of the tool. Using the tool with the respect and caution
demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned will considerably lessen the possibility of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal
injury to the operator can develop.
It is good practice to make trial cuts using scrap material when setting up your saw for operation.
Gross cutting
Cross cutting requires the use of the miter gauge to position and guide the work. Place the work
against
the miter gauge and advance both the miter gauge and work toward the saw blade. The miter gauge
may be used in either table T-slot, however, most operators prefer the left T-slot for average work.
When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the right side table T-slot so that it doesn't interfere with the
tilted saw blade. The blade guard must be used. The guard has anti-kickback fingers and a riving knife
to prevent the saw kerf from closing.
Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter gauge and the table. One of the rules in
running a saw is that you never hang onto or touch a free piece of work. Hold the supported piece, not
the free piece that is cut off. The feed in crosscutting continues until the work is cut in two, then the
miter gauge and work are pulled back to the starting point. Before pulling the work back it is good
practice to give the work a little sideways shift to move the work slightly away from the saw blade.
Never pick up any short length of free work from the table while the saw is running. A smart operator
never touches a cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long. Never use the rip fence as a cut-off
gauge when crosscutting.
Ripping
Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board, the rip fence is used to position
and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board
rest on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make
solid contact with the table. The blade guard must be used. The guard has anti-kickback fingers and a
riving knife to prevent the saw kerf from closing.
Start the motor and advance the work holding it down and against the fence. Never, stand in the line
of the saw cut when ripping. Hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and into the
saw blade. The work can then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands.
When this is done the work will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear end of
the guard or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the table,
after which the work is lifted and brought back along the outside edge of the fence. The waste stock
remains on the table and is not touched with the hands until the saw is stopped unless it is a large
piece allowing safe removal.
