Do not stand
directly
in front of blade
in case of a kick-
back. Stand
to either
side of the blade.
Keep your
hands
clear of the blade
and out of the path of
the blade.
If the blade
stalls or stops while
cutting,
turn switch
OFF
and safety
disconnect
OFF before
attempting
to free the
blade.
Do not reach
over or behind
the blade to pull the work-
piece through
the cut, to support
long or heavy
work-
pieces,
to remove
small
cut-off
pieces
of material
or for
any other
reason.
Do not pick up small pieces
of cut-off
material
from the
table. Remove
them
by pushing
them
off table with a long
stick. Otherwise
they could be thrown
back at you by the
rear of the blade.
Do not remove
small
pieces
of cut-off
material
that may
become
trapped
inside
blade guard while
saw is on. This
could endanger
your hands
or cause
a kickback.
Turn saw
off. After blade
has stopped
turning,
lift guard
and remove
the piece.
Always
lower blade
below the table
level when
machine
is
not in use.
TYPES OF CUTS/OPERATIONS
CROSSCUTTING
Performed
with miter
gauge
set at "0". Crosscutting
is known
as cutting
work across
the grain at 90 °, or square
with both
the edge
and the flat side of the wood.
MITER
CUTTING
Performed
with miter
gauge,
is known
as cutting
wood at an
angle
other than 90 ° with the edge
of the wood.
BEVEL
CROSSCUTTING
Performed
with miter
gauge,
is same
as crosscutting
except
that the wood is also cut at an angle
other than
90 ° with the
fiat side of the wood
(blade
is at an angle).
COMPOUND
MITER
CUTTING
Performed
with miter
gauge,
is a combination
of miter
cutting
and bevel crosscutting.
Cut is made
at angle other than
90 ° to
both the edge and fiat side of wood.
RIPPING
Performed
with rip fence,
is known
as cutting
a piece of wood
with the grain
or lengthwise.
Position
the fence to the desired
width of rip and lock in place. When
ripping
long boards
or
large
panels
always
use a work
support.
BEVEL
RIPPING
Performed
with rip fence,
the same
as ripping.
However,
blade
is set at an angle other
than 90 °.
RESAWlNG
Performed
with rip fence,
is known
as ripping
a piece of wood
through
its thickness.
Do not attempt
to resaw bowed
or
warped
material.
NOTE:
It may be necessary
to remove
blade
guard and use
work supports
as well as push blocks
when
performing
this
operation.
WARNING:
Install blade
guard
immediately
upon completion
of resawing
operation.
PLOUGHING
Performed
with rip fence,
is grooving
with grain
long way of
workpiece.
Use proper
hold downs
and feed devices.
RABBETING
Performed
with either
miter
gauge
or rip fence.
Rabbeting
is
known
as cutting
out a section
of the corner
of a piece of
material,
across
an end or along an edge. To make a rabbet
requires
cuts which
do not go all the way through
the materi-
al. Therefore,
blade
guard
must be removed,
install
blade
guard
immediately
upon
completion
of rabbeting
operation.
Rabbet
cuts can also be made
using
dado head.
DADOING
Performed
with either
miter
gauge
or rip fence.
Dadoing
is
done with a set of blades
(dado
set) rather
than standard
10
or 12" saw blades.
The dado
set is used to groove
wood
simi-
lar to ploughing
and rabbeting.
However,
the dado
set allows
operator
to remove
more material
in one pass. The operator,
with a dado
set, can vary width
of cut up to _:Y_U'.
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
% I.D. x 8" O.D. x _:Y_6" w idth.
When
using a dado
set, the following
parts
must be substitut-
ed (see Figure
7 and 9): %" dado
arbor
extension
(Fig. 7, No.
36) and dado
table insert
(Fig. 9, No. 6). (See Assembly.)
IMPORTANT:
Always
use correct
insert.
When
using the dado
set, use caution.
Use featherboards
and push sticks
as applic-
able.
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.
