R.
DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become trapped inside the blade guard
while the saw is running. This could endanger your
hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and
wait until blade stops.
S. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a
twisted grain or is twisted or bowed -- it may rock
on the table and/or pinch the sawblade.
10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpened or set
cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall
the saw, or kickback at the operator.
Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool
and machine maintenance.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE
SAW OFF.
B. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire
wheels or buffing wheels.
11. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS
SAW.
12. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently
worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood
facing is attached to the miter gauge using the holes
provided. However, the facing must not interfere with
the proper functioning of the sawblade guard.
13. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in normal operating
position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting
tool as low as possible for the operation being
performed. Keep all guards in place whenever
possible.
14. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for
an operating speed less than 3450 RPM. Never use a
cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for
which the saw was designed. For greatest safety and
efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
15. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top. NEVER
Operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.
16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear
of the saw. An accident and serious injury could
result.
17. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense
and alertness at all times when the saw is being used.
18. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.
DANGER
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
READ AND UNDERSTAND OWNER' S MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE:
1. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES PER ANSI Z87.1 AT ALL
TIMES
2. USE SAW-BLADE GUARD FOR "THRU-SAWING"
3. KEEP HANDS OUT OF PATH OF SAWBLADE
4. USE A "PUSH-STICK" WHEN REQUIRED
5. KNOW HOW TO AVOID "KICKBACKS'"
6. DO NOT PERFORM OPERATIONS "FREEHAND"
7. NEVER REACH AROUND OR OVER SAW BLADE
19. WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMI'LIARITY
(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR SAW)
TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. -- ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A
SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE
INJURY.
20. NOTE: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use the arbor nut
wrench to just "snug" it.
WEAR YOUR
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eve damage. Always wear safety goggles complying
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing
power tool operation. Safety G'oggles are available at Sears
retail or catalog stores.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MOTOR SPECI FICATIONS
The AC motor used in this saw is a capacitor start,
non-reversible type, with the following specifications:
Voltage .................................. 120
Amperes .................................. 10
Hertz ..................................... 60
Phase .................................. Single
RPM ................................... 3450
Rotation (viewed from
Sawblade end) ................ Counterclockwise
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
1. REPEATED STALLING OF THE SAW BLADE WILL
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR. Always avoid
stalling the blade. If the motor has been abused
(repeated stalling) and fails to start (hums), TURN THE
SWITCH OFF, ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COOL,
THEN RE-START IT.
2. ALWAYS USE SHARP BLADES. A dull blade requires
excessive power and does not produce quality results.
NOTE: The starting relay is a GRAVITY SENSITIVE
TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER ON WHILE THE
SAW IS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS WILL DAMAGE
THE MOTOR.
3. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
4.
5.
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
with a fuse other than those recommended. Do not use
a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power
company.
Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage.
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor
terminals be not less than the voltage specified on
nameplate.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (which results when small size wires are used in
the supply circuit) or when the supply circuit is
extremely long. Always check connection, load and
supply circuit when the motor fails to perform
satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with table at
end of this section.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This saw must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately.
