ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD
Refer to Figures 8 and 9, pages 20 and 22.
NOTE: Spreader must be parallel to saw blade and in middle
of cut (kerf) made by saw blade. In short, spreader must
always be in exact plane as saw blade. If not, it will interfere
with existing workpiece in addition to causing poor and unsafe
guard operation.
• Raise blade to full height. Adjust tilt angle of blade to 90 °.
Use a hand square to be certain blade is perpendicular to
table. Lock tilt angle at 90° with tilt handwheel locking
knob (Fig. 9, No. 23). If tilt angle will not go to 90 °, an
adjustment to the 90 ° stop is necessary. (See Operation,
page 10, 90 ° Stop Adjustment.)
• When adjusting spreader, use a straightedge lengthwise
along blade to be certain spreader is trailing in middle of
kerf (cut). In addition use a 90° hand square to make sure
spreader is perpendicular to the table, as is the blade.
• Align front of spreader with blade. If necessary, adjust front
support bracket. In order to adjust support bracket, it may
be necessary to lower saw blade. To adjust, loosen socket
head bolts (Fig. 8, No. 23). When completed, secure sock-
et head bolts tightly.
• To adjust the height of the front of the spreader, loosen
front support bracket hex head bolt and flat washer and
position spreader up or down. Lock spreader into position
by tightening hex head bolt and flat washer. Height of
spreader should be adjusted to allow blade guard to con-
tact table.
• Align rear of spreader. Rear of spreader can be adjusted
by upper rear spreader support. To adjust, loosen hex
head bolt and flat washer (Fig. 8, Nos. 37 and 26). Slot will
allow upper rear spreader support adjustment left or right.
Tighten hex head bolt and flat washer. After spreader is
lined up in middle of kerf, tighten guard support rod (Fig.
8, No. 36) with hex nut and lock washer (Fig. 8, Nos. 29
and 30). Tighten securely.
NOTE: It may be necessary to lower or remove blade to tight-
en hex nut and lock washer.
• Adjust angle of spreader to table. Loosen hex head bolt
and lock washer (Fig. 8, Ref. Nos. 37 and 38). Rotate
lower rear support spreader (Fig. 8, No. 39) until spreader
is perpendicular to table. Tighten hex head bolt and lock
washer.
NOTE: It may be necessary to also loosen hex head bolt and
flat washer on front of support bracket. Adjust height so top
edge is parallel. Lock into position. Tighten both front and rear
bolts and washers (Figure 8, Nos. 27 and 26).
• Blade guard is now assembled and adjusted. Spreader
should be parallel with saw blade and in middle of kerf. If
this is not true, repeat all adjustment steps. Before operat-
ing saw, recheck all blade guard fasteners to be certain all
are securely tightened.
IMPORTANT: Before operating saw, be certain blade guard
and antikickback pawls automatically return to table surface.
TABLE INSERTS INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 9, page 22.
• Be certain standard insert (No. 5) and Dado Insert (No. 6)
are clean. Lower blade below table. Place standard insert
into position with cut-out on blade side.
• Surface of insert should be flush with table surface. Using
a straightedge, check insert to see if it is flush with table.
To adjust insert, remove insert from table and turn it
upside down on work bench.
• Each corner of table insert is fitted with an adjusting
setscrew (No. 7). Adjust each corner of insert up or down
to bring insert flush with table top. Be certain all four
setscrews are firmly seated on table casting.
• Repeat procedure for dado insert (No. 6). Replace stan-
dard table insert (No. 5).
CAUTION: Only use dado insert (Fig. 9, No. 6) with dado
blade set. Only use standard insert (Fig. 9, No. 5) with stan-
dard blade. Never attempt to interchange; only use table
insert with the blade it was intended to be used with.
INSTALL MITER GAUGE
Refer to Figures 9 and 11, pages 22 and 26.
• The miter gauge comes preassembled. Unpack the miter
gauge and clean thoroughly. Be certain miter gauge
T-slots in table are also thoroughly cleaned.
• The miter gauge is guided through the T-slot with a roller
guide at the front of guide bar. To insert miter gauge, first
insert roller guide into T-slot at front of table (Fig. 9, No. 1).
WIRE TABLE SAW
WARNING: Be certain switch is in OFF position. Disconnect
the source of all power. Keep circuit breaker open or in OFF
position.
The Craftsman 10" and 12" saws are designed to be used
with 230V-single-phase-power.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is installed and the wiring connected as illustrated
in the wiring schematic (see Figure 4).
• When wiring the saw to the source, install a fused safety
disconnect switch between the saw and the circuit break-
er. Be certain the safety disconnect switch is capable of
being locked in the OFF position. The safety disconnect
switch is a safety precaution which allows the operator to
lock the saw OFF so it is unable to receive power. This
feature is intended to prevent accidental start-up when
maintaining or servicing saw. In addition, it is intended to
prevent unauthorized and possible hazardous use by oth-
ers. A key lock switch is provided on the tool for the same
reasons.
• The safety disconnect switch is fused. Protect the saw with
a 20 amp time-delay fuse or 20 amp manual reset circuit
breaker. Do not use fuses or breakers with a greater
amperage rating.
• Wire the saw to a breaker box or fuse box with adequate
capacity wire to accommodate the stationary saw's volt-
age and amp load.
IMPORTANT: Be certain saw is wired to a circuit protected by
a 20 amp breaker or fuse.
