Instructions for operating dado set are contained in owner's
manual furnished with dado set. Dadoing requires cuts which
do not go all the way through material. Therefore, blade guard
must be removed. Dado sets have different characteristics
than saw blades. As a result, saw must be fitted with special
parts that are furnished with saw.
The Craftsman stationary saw dado set maximum capacity is
5/8 I.D. x 8" O.D. x 13/18" width.
When using a dado set, the following parts must be substitut-
ed (see Figure 9 and 11): 8/8"dado arbor extension (Fig. 9, No.
40) and dado table insert (Fig. 11, No. 6). (See Assembly.)
IMPORTANT:
Always use correct insert. When using the dado
set, use caution. Use featherboards
and push sticks
as applicable.
WARNING:
Always immediately replace the standard blade
arbor, standard blade, blade guard and blade insert when you
are finished dadoing.
NOTE: 12" Saw only. To replace blade, the standard 1" arbor
extension (not shown) should be used.
CUTTING
OVERSIZED
WORKPIECES
When cutting long workpieces or large panels, always support
workpiece that is not on table. Use adjustable roller stand or
make simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to saw
horse. Add facings to miter gauge or rip fence as needed.
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow facings to interfere with operation
of blade guard.
DUST COLLECTING
•
Saw is fitted with a 4" male exhaust port. When a dust col-
lector is used, cover louvers on door. This will create a
better vacuum within cabinet and result in more efficient
sawdust removal. It is recommended to tape louvers
closed or seal with a sheet of plastic.
IMPORTANT:
If dust collector is NOT used when saw is run-
ning, be sure louvers are open (for good air circulation to
keep motor from overheating).
•
Before starting saw, see that all adjustments are properly
made and guards in place. With power disconnected,
turn
pulley by hand to make sure everything is correct before
connecting power and starting saw.
BLADE
SELECTION
Blade selection is based on type of material being cut and
how it will be cut. There are three general types of saw
blades: rip saw blades cut with grain of wood, cut-off saw
blades cut across grain, and combination saw blades cut with
grain, across grain and any angle to grain.
Blades vary in many aspects. When selecting a blade, the fol-
lowing blade characteristics
should match up with operation to
be performed and type of material to be cut: type of steel;
quality of steel; tooth style; tooth set; carbide tipped; grind;
number of teeth and size.
IMPORTANT: Your saw is only as accurate and efficient as
blade or cutting tool used.
First, be certain to use the appropriate type of cutting tool for
the operation to be performed. Second, it is strongly recom-
mended that high-quality blades and cutting tools be used. Be
certain blades and cutting tools are kept sharp and in good
working order. Check blades periodically and replace or
sharpen if necessary.
WARNING:
Do not attempt under any circumstances,
to
service, repair, dismantle, or disassemble
any mechanical
or electrical components without physically disconnecting
all
power sources.
CLEANING
•
Clean off any preservative
on bright (machined)
parts with
appropriate
solvent (mineral spirits). Avoid getting cleaning
fluid on any rubber parts as they tend to deteriorate rub-
ber.
•
Use soap and soft water on rubber and plastic parts.
•
After cleaning, lubricate unpainted surfaces with a light
application of medium consistency machine oil. This lubri-
cation should be repeated at least once every six months.
NOTE: Instead of oil, a good quality paste wax can be applied
to rip fence and table surface. Paste wax will enhance move-
ment of workpieces. In addition to providing lubrication, paste
wax will help prevent rusting.
•
Keep your machine and your workshop clean. Do not allow
sawdust to accumulate on saw or inside cabinet.
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust that may
accumulate within cabinet.
•
Be certain motor and internal mechanisms are clean and
are frequently vacuumed or blown free of any dirt.
•
For motor maintenance, follow instructions provided with
motor.
LUBRICATION
All bearings on the arbor are shielded ball bearings. These
bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory.
•
As needed, clean the grease off the rack and worm gears
of height and tilt mechanism. Lubricate rack and gears
with a medium viscosity machine oil.
•
Be sure to lubricate trunnion ways and all bushings.
•
Occasionally
oil all other bearing points, including blade
guard assembly, miter gauge and rip fence.
•
For motor lubrication, follow instructions provided with the
motor.
SERVICE
•
Replace belts and worn parts as needed. If power cords
are worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have them
replaced immediately.
•
Make sure teeth of antikickback pawls are always sharp.
•
Sharpen dull teeth using a few light strokes of a smooth
cut flat file.
•
Service motor according to the instructions provided. The
motor should be serviced only by a qualified electrician.
