Page 13: Kickback
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Kickback occurs when the blade launches the workpiece toward the front of the saw. This happens so quickly the operator rarely has time to respond. He or she can be killed, severely hurt or have his/her hand forced into the moving blade.
Page 14: Common Terms
In order to increase user safety awareness and understanding, we have provided a list of common terms associated with table saws. We will refer to many of these terms throughout this manual, so the time you spend learning these terms will result in an increased knowledge of table saw applications. Arbor The shaft underneath the table on which the blade mounts.

Page 20: Mobile Base
Mobile Base If your model includes a mobile base kit, or you plan to use an aftermarket mobile base kit for your saw, we rec- ommend assembling the saw on the mobile base to avoid heavy/awkward lifting later. Assemble your mobile base equipment as detailed in the instructions included with the mobile base, then put the saw base unit on the mobile base before continuing assembly.
Page 21 W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw 5. Mount the switch brace, as shown in Figure 21, using the table mounting fasteners on the top end and the switch mounting fasteners on the bottom end. 6.

Page 25: Operations
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw General Table saws will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these opera- tions can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowl- edge and skills to operate this machine.
Page 26: Blade Selection
Blade Selection With all the various kinds of blades available, it would be beyond the scope of this manual to name every type of blade and tooth design. However, some basics are impor- tant to know. Blade Material There are two major materials used in circular saw blades—Carbide and Steel.
Page 27: Changing Blades
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw • Plywood blades (Figure 36) have a large number of teeth, have a thin kerf and create exceptionally smooth cuts. As the name implies, these types of blades are excellent for fine plywood and also for cutting bevels, rabbets or compound miters.
Page 28: Through Vs. Non-Through Cuts
Through vs. Non-Through Cuts Understand the safety precautions for each type of cut to reduce the risk of injury. The risk of kickback exists with both through and non- through cuts. Kickback is an event in which the workpiece is propelled back towards the operator at a high rate of speed.
Page 29: Rip Cuts
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Rip Cuts Rip cuts or "Ripping" means cutting with the grain of the workpiece. In other materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise. To make a rip cut, do these steps: 1. Review Preventing Kickback on Page 11 and take the necessary precautions to prevent kickback.
Page 30: Cross Cuts
Cross Cuts Cross Cuts or "Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of the workpiece. In MDF or particleboard, crosscutting is cutting across the width of the workpiece. To crosscut using the miter gauge, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER! 2.
Page 31: Dado Cuts
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Dado Cuts Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard saw blade. The table saw motor may be pushed to its limits when making a dado cut.
Page 32 To cut dadoes with a standard blade, do these steps: Note: Reduce motor overloading and blade wear by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly. Refer to Page 24 for more details. 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER! 2.
Page 33: Rabbet Cuts
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Rabbet Cuts Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an L- shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade. Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece requires a sacrificial fence attachment (Figure 48).
Page 34 Cutting rabbets with a standard saw blade DOES NOT require the use of a sacrificial fence. Reduce motor over- loading and blade wear by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly. To cut rabbets with the standard blade, do these steps: 1.
Page 35: Resawing
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Resawing Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock into one or more thinner pieces. Bandsaws are ideal for resawing and the process is fairly easy and safe. A table saw is not intended for resawing and the process is diffi- cult and extremely dangerous.
Page 36: Auxiliary Fence
2. Pre-drill and countersink 8 holes approximately from the bottom of the 5 ⁄ " tall board. 3. Glue the end of the 3" board, then clamp the boards at a 90° angle with the larger board in the vertical position as shown in Figure 53.
Page 37: Resawing Operations
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Resawing Operations Resawing pushes a table saw to its limits. If the motor bogs down when resawing, slow down your feed rate. Also, use a ripping blade when resawing to reduce motor overloading and blade wear. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly.
Page 38: Aftermarket Safety Accessories
Aftermarket Safety Accessories Besides making your table saw experience more enjoyable, aftermarket or shop-made safety acces- sories can greatly increase your personal safety, and allow you to make difficult cuts with your table saw that you would not otherwise be able to make. Here are some basic aftermarket items you might want to consider: A Roller Table (shown in Figure 56) or Roller...
Page 39: Shop-Made Safety Accessories
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Shop-Made Safety Accessories Shop-made safety accessories are another source of devices to use to increase your safety while oper- ating the table saw. When care is taken with the setup and design, shop-made tools can be an invalu- able resource for making the safest cuts possible.
Page 40: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE V-Belts The V-belts may stretch a little as the saw is used and may need to be tightened from time to time. Replacing the V-belts is not much harder than tightening them, but you must make sure you replace the V-belts with a match- ing set.

Page 42: Blade Alignment
Blade Alignment If the blade touches the table insert when you raise and lower it, then the table needs to be shifted where it mounts to the cabinet. If you do this and the blade still needs to be adjusted, the trunnion assembly can be adjusted inside the cabinet so the blade is repositioned.
Page 43: Miter Slot Parallel To Blade
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw 6. Raise the blade and check its position in the table insert opening. If the blade position is not satisfac- tory, make sure you have correctly shifted the com- ponents discussed in this section. If you repeat these steps and still cannot get favorable results, call our Technical Support.
Page 44: Shimming Wings
9. Slightly rotate the table in the appropriate direction. Recheck the measurements you did in Steps 3 & 6. 10. When you have adjusted the table so both measure- ments are the same, tilt the blade to 45˚ and mea- sure the distance from the miter slot to the blade as done in Steps 2–5.
Page 45: Splitter Adjustment
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Splitter Adjustment To adjust the blade splitter square to the table, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER SOURCE! 2. Loosen the set screws shown in Figure 71 to allow the blade splitter to rotate on the support shaft. 3.
Page 46: Angle Pointer
Angle Pointer The angle pointer allows you to set the angle to the cor- rect position on the angle gauge after setting the 90˚ and 45˚ angles. To set the angle pointer, do these steps: 1. Make sure that you have performed the 90˚ and 45˚ instructions in the Blade Tilt Stop Bolts section on Page 39 before beginning.
Page 47: Replacing V-Belts
W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Replacing V-Belts The V-belts are tensioned by pivoting the motor up or down. The slotted holes in the motor mount bracket (Figure 76) allow the motor to pivot in the hinge holes. To replace the V-belts, do these steps: 1.
