Black & Decker 9419 Instruction Manual

You can adjust the blade angle from 0° (perpendicular to the table top) to 45° by turning the crank handle located on the left side of the saw. The cutting angle will be displayed on the mitre scale on the front of the saw.

To change the blade on your saw, follow these steps:

1. Remove the Table insert by removing the Phillips head screw in the forward end.
2. Elevate the motor to its maximum height by rotating the Elevation Crank.
3. Install the Arbor Bushing on the motor shaft.
4. Install the Saw Blade over the motor shaft and against the bushing, with the saw teeth pointing toward the front of the saw.
5. Place the Arbor Washer against the blade (concave side toward blade), and thread the Arbor Nut on.
6. Tighten the Arbor Nut securely by inserting a screwdriver blade into the slot in the motor shaft through the hole in the left side of the Saw Housing, or by pushing a block of wood into the saw teeth.
7. Re-install the table insert.

If your saw is not cutting straight, the blade or rip fence may need alignment:

• Blade not perpendicular to Table Top: Adjust the blade by turning the Bevel Crank until it is 90° to the Table Top. If the bevel pointer does not point to zero, loosen its screw, adjust the pointer, and re-tighten the screw.
• Blade not parallel to Mitre Gauge Slots: Loosen the five screws in the Table Top, shift the Table Top until the blade is aligned, re-check the alignment, and securely tighten all five screws.
• Rip fence not aligned parallel to Mitre Gauge Slot: Loosen the two screws on top of the Rip Fence near the head, align the fence edge parallel with the Mitre Gauge Slot, and securely tighten the screws.

For safe operation, follow these best practices:

• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the tool before turning it on.
• Keep the work area clean and free of clutter.
• Keep children and all visitors away from the work area.
• Make the workshop kid-proof by using padlocks, master switches, or removing start keys.
• Do not force the tool; it will perform better and safer at its designed rate.
• Use the right tool for the job.
• Wear proper apparel, avoiding loose clothing, jewelry, and ensuring nonslip footwear and protective hair covering.
• Always wear safety glasses; use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
• Know your power tool by reading the owner's manual to understand its applications, limitations, and hazards.
• Avoid dangerous environments; do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, and keep the work area well-lighted.
• Disconnect tools before servicing or changing accessories.
• Avoid unintentional starting by ensuring the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
• Use recommended accessories as improper accessories may cause injury.
• Check damaged parts before further use.
• Never leave the tool running unattended; turn it off and wait for it to stop completely.
• Secure the saw firmly before using.
• Do not overreach; maintain proper footing and balance.
• Maintain tools with care by keeping them sharp and clean, and following lubrication and accessory changing instructions.
• Do not abuse the cord; keep it away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Do not operate the tool in gaseous or explosive atmospheres.
• Always wait for the blade to stop rotating before removing cut-off pieces.
• Never stand on the tool.
• Feed work into the blade against the direction of rotation.
• Do not use abrasive or friction cutting blades.
• Never make rip, bevel rip, or rabbet cuts freehand; always use the rip fence.
• Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
• Remove the mitre gauge from the table for ripping, bevel ripping, and rabbeting.
• Make sure the blade guard is installed for all through-sawing cuts.
• Check the action of the anti-kickback pawls by passing the workpiece alongside the spreader while the saw is off.
• Elevate the saw blade high enough to ensure the gullet just clears the material being cut.
• Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of kickback.
• Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of its path.
• If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn the switch off and unplug the saw before attempting to free the blade.
• Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece through or to remove small cut-off pieces.
• Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table; push them off with a long stick.

To maintain your saw for optimal performance:

• Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
• Lubricate height and bevel adjustment rod threads with a few drops of light machine oil each year.
• Clear accumulated sawdust from beneath the saw periodically to prevent motor overheating.
• Ensure any repairs, maintenance, and adjustments are performed by Black & Decker Service Centers or other qualified service organizations, always using Black & Decker replacement parts.

The Black & Decker 9419 saw is compatible with Standard, Premium (industrial chrome plating), and Carbide Tipped blades. It is important not to use abrasive or friction cutting blades.

The high-quality bearings in the Table Saw motor do not require periodic lubrication. However, a few drops of light machine oil each year on the height and bevel adjustment rod threads will help ensure ease of operation.
