CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
●
Lead from lead-based paints,
●
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and
●
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE
GUARD, riving knife and anti-
kickback pawls assembly for every
through-sawing operation. Through-
sawing operations are those in which
the blade cuts completely through
the workpiece when ripping or
crosscutting. Always be sure blade
guard is tightened securely.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE
FIRMLY against the miter gauge
or rip fence. Use rip fence for rip
cuts and miter gauge for crosscuts.
Never use miter gauge and rip fence
simultaneously.
3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push
block, especially when ripping
narrow stock. Refer to ripping
instructions in this Operator’s Manual
where the push stick is covered in
detail. A pattern for making your own
push stick is included on page 52.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY
OPERATION FREEHAND, which
means only using hands to support
or guide the workpiece. Always use
either the rip fence or miter gauge to
position and guide the work.
FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE
MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK
AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.
NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE
AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
5. NEVER STAND or have any part of
your body in line with the path of the
saw blade. Keep your hands out of
the saw blade path.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the
cutting tool for any reason.
7. REMOVE the rip fence when
crosscutting.
8. DO NOT USE a molding head with
this saw.
9. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work
into a blade against the direction of
rotation of the blade.
10.NEVER use the rip fence as a
cut-off gauge when crosscutting.
11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A
STALLED SAW BLADE without rst
turning the saw OFF. Turn power
switch OFF immediately to prevent
motor damage.
12.PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT
to the rear and the sides of the saw
table for long or wide workpieces.
13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown
back towards you) by keeping the
blade sharp, the rip fence parallel
to the saw blade and by keeping
the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls
assembly and guards in place,
aligned and functioning. Do not
release work before passing it
completely beyond the saw blade.
Do not rip work that is twisted,
warped or does not have a straight

edge to guide it along the fence.
Do not attempt to reverse out of a
cut with the blade running.
14.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS
and hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause your hand to move
into the saw blade.
15.NEVER USE SOLVENTS to
clean plastic parts. Solvents could
possibly dissolve or otherwise
damage the material. Only a soft
damp cloth should be used to clean
plastic parts.
16.MOUNT your table saw on a
bench or stand before performing
any cutting operations. Refer to
ASSEMBLY on page 20. Secure
tool properly to prevent unexpected
movement.
17.
Never cut metals or masonry
products with this tool. This table
saw is designed for use on wood
and wood-like products only.
18.ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-
VENTILATED AREA. Remove
sawdust frequently. Clean out
sawdust from the interior of the saw
to prevent a potential re hazard.
Attach a vacuum to the dust port for
additional sawdust removal.
19.NEVER LEAVE THE SAW
RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not
leave the saw until the blade comes
to a complete stop.
20.For proper operation follow the
instructions in this Operator's
Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 20). Failure
to provide sawdust fall-through and
removal hole will allow sawdust
to build up in the motor area
resulting in a re hazard and
potential motor damage.
21.USE ONLY saw blades
recommended with the warning that
the riving knife shall not be thicker
than the width of the groove cut by
the saw blade and not thinner than
the body of the saw blade.
22.USE PUSH STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK to feed the workpiece past
the saw blade. The push stick or
push block should always be stored
with the machine when not in use.
23.
DO NOT RESAW material with this
saw.
24.DO NOT USE this saw to cut tree
limbs or logs

SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY,
ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY AND
RIVING KNIFE
Your table saw is equipped with a
blade guard assembly, anti-kickback
assembly and riving knife that covers
the blade and reduces the possibility
of accidental blade contact. The riving
knife is a at plate that ts into the cut
made by the saw blade and effectively
ghts kickback by lessening the
tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.
The blade guard assembly and anti-
kickback assembly can only be used
when making through cuts that sever
the wood. When making rabbets and
other cuts that make non-through cuts,
the blade guard assembly and anti-
kickback assembly must be removed
and riving knife lowered to the
non-through cut position marked on the
riving knife. Two anti-kickback pawls are
located on the sides of the riving knife
that allow the wood to pass through the
blade in the cutting direction but reduce
the possibility of the material being
thrown backwards toward the operator.
Use all components of the guarding
system (blade guard assembly, riving
knife and anti-kickback assembly) for
every operation for which they can
be used including all through cutting.
If you elect not to use any of these
components for a particular application
exercise additional caution regarding
control of the workpiece, the use of
push sticks, the position of your hands
relative to the blade, the use of safety
glasses, the means to avoid kickback
and all other warnings contained in this
manual and on the saw itself. Replace
the guarding systems as soon as you
return to through-cutting operations.
Keep the guard assembly in working
order.
KICKBACKS
KICKBACKS: Kickbacks can cause
serious injury. A kickback occurs when
a part of the workpiece binds between
the saw blade and the rip fence, or
other xed object, and rises from the
table and is thrown toward the operator.
Kickbacks can be avoided by attention
to the following conditions.
How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect
Yourself from Possible Injury:
a. Be certain that the rip fence is
parallel to the saw blade.
b. Do not rip by applying the feed force
to the section of the workpiece that
will become the cut-off (free) piece.
Feed force when ripping should
always be applied between the saw
blade and the fence; use a push
stick for narrow work, 6 in. (152 mm)
wide or less.
c. Keep saw blade guard assembly,
riving knife and anti-kickback
assembly in place and operating
properly. If anti-kickback assembly
is not operational, return your unit to
the nearest Sears or other qualied
service dealer for repair. The riving
knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade and the
TABLE SAW SAFETY
11
anti-kickback pawls assembly must
stop a kickback once it has started.
Check their action before ripping by
pushing the wood under the anti-
kickback assembly. The teeth must
prevent the wood from being pulled
toward the front of the saw.
d. Use saw blade guard assembly,
anti-kickback pawls assembly and
riving knife for every operation for
which it can be used, including all
through-sawing.
e. Push the workpiece past the saw
blade prior to release.
f. Never rip a workpiece that is
twisted or warped, or does not
have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.
g. Never saw a large workpiece that
cannot be controlled.
h. Never use the fence as a guide or
length stop when crosscutting.
i. Never saw a workpiece with loose
knots, aws, nails or other foreign
objects.
j. Never rip a workpiece shorter than
10 in. (254 mm).
k. NEVER use a dull blade – replace
or have resharpened.
l. NEVER use a rip fence and miter
gauge together.
m. Keep hands out of saw blade.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical hazards, fire
hazards, or damage to the tool, use
proper circuit protection. Use a
seperate electrical circuit for your
tool. Your table saw is wired at the
factory for 120 V operation. Connect
to a 120 V, 15 Amp circuit and use
a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or fire,
if power cord is worn, cut, or
damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while
in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an
electrical cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG

receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by a qualied electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor wire
can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electrical
cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or
service person if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not certain the tool is
properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords
that have three-pronged grounding
plugs with three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug. Repair
or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tool. This circuit must not be less
than # 14 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the
off position and the electric current is
rated the same as the current stamped
on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION
CORD. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current

CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts:
ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is
cutting along the length and the grain of
the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting
either across the width or across the
grain of the workpiece. (It is not safe to
rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping
requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
NEVER USE A RIP FENCE AND
MITER GAUGE TOGETHER.

Before using the saw each time,
check the following:
1. The blade is tightened to
the arbor.
2.
The blade lock handle is tightened.
3. If ripping, make sure the fence is
locked into position and is parallel
to the miter gauge groove.
4. The blade guard is in place and
working properly.
5. Safety glasses are worn.
6. Make sure that the table insert is
level with the saw table.
Failure to adhere to these common
safety rules, and those printed in
the front of this manual, can greatly
increase the likelihood of injury.
RIPPING (FIG. QQ, RR)
To prevent serious injury:
● Never use a miter gauge when
ripping.
● Never use more than one rip
fence during a single cut.
● Do not allow familiarity or
frequent use of your table saw
to cause careless mistakes.
Remember that even a careless
fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
● Keep both hands away from the
blade and clear from the path of
the blade.
● The workpiece must have a
straight edge against the fence
and must not be warped, twisted,
or bowed when ripping.
WARNING
!
1. Remove the miter gauge and store
it in the “storage” compartment in
the base of the saw.
2. Secure the rip fence to the table.
3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in.
higher than the top of the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece at on the table
and against the fence. Keep the
workpiece away from the blade.
5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the
blade to come to full speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the
blade by pushing forward only on
the workpiece section (1) that will
pass between the blade and the
fence. (Fig. QQ)
7. Keep your thumbs off the table top.
When both of your thumbs touch
the front edge of the table (2), nish
the cut with a push stick (3). To
make an additional push stick, use
the pattern on page 52. (Fig. RR)
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing
forward on the section of the
workpiece that passes between the
blade and the fence. Never perform
any freehand operations.

When width or rip is narrower than
2 in., the push stick cannot be
used because the blade guard will
interfere. Use an auxiliary fence (5)
(see page 40) to see how to make an
auxiliary fence and push block (6) (see
page 41 to how to make a push block)
as shown in Fig. RR.

8. Continue pushing the workpiece (4)
with the push stick (3) or push
block (6 - Fig. RR) until it passes
through the blade guard and clears
the rear of the table. (Fig. QQ)
9. Never pull the piece back when the
blade is turning. Turn the switch Off.
When the blade completely stops,
you can then remove the workpiece.
Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting
operation. This will cause kickback
and serious injury to the user can
occur. When the blade completely
stops, raise the anti-kickback pawls
assembly (7) on each side of the
riving knife and slide the workpiece
out. (Fig. RR)

other than 0°.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
To avoid injury from blade contact,
never make cuts narrower than 3/4 in.
wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces.
Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain
the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped,
and your hand cannot be safely
put between the blade and the rip
fence, use push stick or push block
to pass the workpiece completely
through and past the blade.
HELPFUL DEVICES
In order to make some cuts, it is
necessary to use devices like a push
block, featherboard or auxiliary fence,
which you can make yourself. Here are
some templates for your reference.
FEATHERBOARD (FIG. SS, TT)
A featherboard is a device used to
help control the workpiece by guiding
it securely against the table or fence.
Featherboards are especially useful
when ripping small workpieces and for
completing non-through cuts.
The end is angled with a number of
short kerfs to give a friction hold on the
workpiece and locked in place on the
table with C-clamps. Test that it can
resist kickback.
40
Place the featherboard against the
uncut portion of the workpiece to
avoid kickback that could cause
serious personal injury.
MAKE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. SS)
Select a solid piece of lumber
approximately 3/4 in. thick, 4 in. wide
and 18 in. long. To make a featherboard,
cut one end of the lumber at 60 degrees,
then cut 8 in. long slots 1/4 in. apart on
the angled end as shown in Fig. RR.
Fig. SS
USE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. TT)
● Never feed wood with your hands
when making any non-through
cuts such as rabbets or dadoes.
To avoid personal injury, always
use push sticks (1), push blocks
and featherboards.
● Do not locate the featherboard
to the rear of the blade. If
positioned improperly, kickback
can result from the featherboard
pinching the workpiece and
binding the blade in the saw
kerf. Featureboards are not used
during non-through-sawing
operations when using the miter

kickback and serious injury to
the user can occur.
1. Remove the rip fence and place
the miter gauge in the miter gauge
groove on the table.
2. Adjust the blade height so that it
is 1/8 in. higher than the top of
the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece rmly against
the miter gauge with the blade path
in line with the desired cut location.
Move the workpiece to a 1 in.
distance from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the
blade to come up to full speed.
Never stand directly in line of the
saw blade path, always stand to
the side of the blade that you are
cutting on.
5. Keep the workpiece (1) against the
face of the miter gauge (2) and at
against the table. Then slowly push
the workpiece through the blade.
WARNING
!
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece
back with the blade turning. Turn
the switch OFF, and carefully slide
the workpiece out when the blade
has completely stopped.
Always position the larger surface
of the workpiece on the table
when crosscutting and/or bevel
crosscutting to avoid instability.
Fig. WW
USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE
MITER GAUGE (FIG. XX)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge
for attaching an auxiliary facing (1)
to make it easier to cut very long or
short pieces. Select a suitable piece of
smooth wood, drill two holes through
it and attach it to the miter gauge with
screws. Make sure the facing does not
interfere with the proper operation of
the saw blade guard. When cutting long
workpieces, you can make a simple
outfeed support by clamping a piece of
