Motor Specifications; Requirements - Craftsman 113.29570 Owner's Manual

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 f 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 sawbtade guard.
13. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing ir normal operating
aosition. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting
tool as Fow 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 _roper 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 senseand
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
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 OPERATI ONS "FREEHAND"
7. NEVER REACH AROUND OR OVER SAW BLADE
19.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY
(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.
WEAR YOUR
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being, thrown into the eyes, which can result m
severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing
power tool operation. Safety Goggles 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 ................................. 12
Hertz .................................. 60
Phase ............................... Single
RPM ................................. 3450
Rotation (viewec[ from
Sawblade end) .............. Counterclockwise
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
The saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset thermal
overload protector, designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exCeeds a safe value.
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
1, If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
move the saw switch lever to the "OFF" position
immediately and allow the motor to cool.
2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing
in the red RESET button on the front of the saw. If the
red I_utton Will not snag into place immediately, the
motor is still too hot and must be allowed to coo! for a
while longer.
3. As soon as the red button wi snap into running
position, the saw may be started and operated normally
by moving the saw switch lever to the "ON" position.
4. Frertuent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
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,
5 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 maneplate voltage.
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor
terminals by no_ less than the voltage specified oll
nameplate.
6. Most motor troubles may be tracec to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (which results when small size wires are used i=_
the supply circuit} or when the supply circuit is
extremely long. Always check connection, load and
supply circuit when the motor fails [o aertorrn
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 anv way,
have it replaced immediately.
