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.
• 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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

NOTICE
Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
Untrained operators
have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only
allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used,
disconnect power, remove switch keys, or
lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered,
or have poor lighting. Operating machinery
in these areas greatly increases the risk of
accidents and injury.
Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of
machinery. Never operate under the influence
of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when
distracted.
ELECTRICAL.EQUIPMENT.INJURY.RISKS..You can
be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an
electrician or qualified service personnel to
do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT.POWER.FIRST..Always disconnect
machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This eliminates the risk of injury
from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.
EYE.PROTECTION..Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.

SAFETY
clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.
.DUST..Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!
Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
which it was designed.
NEVER.STAND.ON.MACHINE..Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE.MACHINE..
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE.RECOMMENDED.ACCESSORIES..Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED.OPERATION..To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN.WITH.CARE..Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
or death.
CHECK.DAMAGED.PARTS..Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN.POWER.CORDS..When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

SAFETY
Additional.Safety.for.Table.Saws
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during
operation. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike
operators or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and
bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
FENCE. To reduce risk of kickback, make sure
fence remains properly adjusted and parallel with
blade. Always lock fence before using.
CUT-OFF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to
blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to
near blade or trapped between blade and table
pieces away from blade while saw is running.
BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting blade height
or tilt during operation increases risk of crashing
blade and sending metal fragments flying with
adjust blade height and tilt when blade is com-
pletely stopped and saw is OFF.
CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while
changing saw blade can result in serious injury.
To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, always
disconnect power before changing blades.
DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Damaged saw blade
teeth can become deadly projectiles. Never use
blades that have been dropped or damaged.
DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. Dado and
rabbeting operations require special attention
since they must be performed with blade guard
removed, which increases risk of blade contact.
DO NOT attempt dado or rabbeting operations
without first reading these sections in this man-
ual.
CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Cutting metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc., increases risk of operator
injury due to kickback or flying particles. Only cut
natural and man-made wood products, laminate-
covered wood products, and some plastics. Never
cut materials not intended for this saw.
HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep hands away
from saw blade and out of blade path during
operation, so they cannot accidentally slip into
blade. Only operate at front of machine and
always stand to side of blade path. Never reach
behind or over blade.
BLADE GUARD. The blade guard protects opera-
tor from rotating saw blade. Make sure blade
guard is installed, adjusted correctly, and used
for all possible “through cuts.” Promptly repair or
replace if damaged. Re-install immediately after
operations that require its removal.
RIVING KNIFE. Use riving knife for all “non-
through cuts.” Make sure it is aligned and posi-
tioned correctly. Promptly repair or replace it if
damaged.
KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when saw blade
ejects workpiece back toward operator. Know
how to reduce risk of kickback, and learn how to
protect yourself if it does occur.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding workpiece incor-
rectly increases risk of kickback. Always allow
blade to reach full speed before cutting, feed
workpiece from front of saw, making sure work-
piece is flat against table and a fence, miter
gauge, or other guide is used to feed workpiece in
a straight line. Feed cuts through to completion.
Never start saw with workpiece touching blade
or pull workpiece from behind blade. Never back
workpiece out of cut, move it sideways, or per-
form a “freehand” operation. Never plunge cut.
PUSH STICKS/PUSH BLOCKS. To reduce risk of
accidental blade contact, use push sticks/push
blocks whenever possible. In event of an acci-
dent, these will often take damage that would
have occurred to hands/fingers.

SAFETY
Statistics. show. that. most. common. acci-
dents.among.table.saw.users.can.be.linked.
to.kickback..Kickback.is.typically.defined.
as. the. high-speed. ejection. of. stock. from.
the. table. saw. toward. its. operator.. In.
addition. to. the. danger. of. the. operator.
or.others.in.the.area.being.struck.by.the.
flying.stock,.it. is. often.the.case.that.the.
operator’s.hands.are.pulled.into.the.blade.
during.the.kickback.
Below.are.ways.to.avoid.the.most.common.
causes.of.kickback:
• Only cut workpieces with at least one
smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut
warped, cupped or twisted wood.
• Keep the blade guard installed and working
correctly for all through-cuts.
• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the
workpiece is not fed parallel with the
blade, kickback will likely occur. Always use
the rip fence or miter gauge to support the
workpiece.
• Make sure the spreader or riving knife
is aligned with the blade. A misaligned
spreader or riving knife can cause the
workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the
chance of kickback.
• Take the time to check and adjust the rip
fence parallel with the blade; otherwise,
the chances of kickback are extreme.
• The spreader or riving knife maintains the
kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance
of kickback. Always use the riving knife for
all non-through operations, unless a dado
blade is installed. Always use the spreader
with the blade guard for all through cuts.
• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle
of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly
increased.
• Keep the blade guard installed and in good
working order. Only remove it when per-
forming non-through cuts and immediately
re-install the blade guard when finished.
Remember, always use the riving knife for all
non-through operations, unless a dado blade
is installed.
• Make multiple, shallow passes when per-
forming a non-through cut. Making a deep
non-through cut will greatly increase the
chance of kickback.
Preventing.Kickback
Even.if.you.know.how.to.prevent.kickback,.
it.may.still.happen..Here.are.some.ways.to .
protect.yourself.if.kickback.DO E S.o ccur:
• Stand to the side of the blade during every
cut. If kickback does occur, the thrown
workpiece usually travels directly in front
of the blade.
• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the
event of kickback, your eyes and face are
the most vulnerable part of your body.
• Never, for any reason, place your hand
behind the blade. Should kickback occur,
your hand may be pulled into the blade,
which could cause amputation.
• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take
the damage that your hand would have
received.
• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices
to prevent or slow down kickback.
Protecting.Yourself.
From.Kickback
• Never move the workpiece backwards or
try to back it out of a cut while the blade
is moving. If you cannot complete a cut for
some reason, stop the saw motor and allow
the blade to completely stop before backing
the workpiece out. Promptly fix the condi-
tion that prevented you from completing
the cut before starting the saw again.

ELECTRICAL
Grounding.Requirements
Extension.Cords
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of
malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current
to travel—in
order
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire
will
increase
the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation
(with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if
you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if
you are in doubt about whether the tool is

SETUP
•. Floor. Load: This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.
•. Working.Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your table saw.
•. Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
•. Electrical:.Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but
it will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper
care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust
preventative, but the following steps work well
in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning
product you use and make sure you work in a
well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to
toxic fumes.
Before.cleaning,.gather.the.following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic.steps.for.removing.rust.preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it
soak for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust
preventative will wipe off easily. If you
have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as
much as you can first, then wipe off the
rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps.2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a
quality metal protectant to prevent rust.
Avoid. chlorine-based. solvents,. such. as.
acetone. or. brake. par ts. cleaner,. that. may.

SETUP
5. Insert the lip of the lower part of the dust port into
the cabinet and tighten the thumb knob to secure
(see Figure.14).
6. Remove the M8-1.25 x 30 cap screws, 8mm flat
washers, and 8mm lock washers from the ends of the
main table.
7. Inspect the extension wings and main table mating
surfaces for burrs or foreign materials that may
inhibit assembly.
The mating edges of the wings and the table must
be clean, smooth, and flat. Use a wire brush or file
if necessary to clean up the edges. This step will
ensure that the wings mount properly to the main
table.
8. While a helper holds the wings in place, attach
each extension wing to the main table with the four
M8-1.25 x 30 cap screws, 8mm lock washers, and
8mm flat washers removed in Step.6 (see Figure
15).
9. Place the straightedge across the extension wings
and main table to make sure that the combined
table surface is flush and flat.
— If the combined table surface is flat, skip to the
next step.
— If the outside end of the extension wing tilts
down, use a strip of masking tape along the
bottom edge of the main table to shim the
extension wing up (Figure.16).
— If the outside end of the extension wing tilts up,
use a strip of masking tape along the top edge of
the main table to shim the extension wing down
(Figure.17).
Note:.After re-installing wings, remove all excess
masking tape with a razor blade.

the front and rear rails, fasten the extension table
to the rails with the fasteners removed in Step.1.
3. Thread the feet into the legs with the two M8-1.25
x 60 hex bolts, place the legs under the table, and
thread the feet out until the top of each leg is
against the underside corner of the table.
4. Use the four M8-1.25 x 20 cap screws, 8mm lock
washers, 8mm flat washers, and M8-1.25 hex nuts to
secure the legs to the end of the extension table, as
shown in Figure.25.

SETUP
5. Adjust the extension table so it is flat (both flush
and parallel) with the main table, using a long
straightedge (similar to the method shown in Figure.
24). This can be done by loosening the mounting
bolts and adjusting the feet up/down as needed.
6. Tighten the extension table mounting bolts, and
tighten the hex nuts on the feet up against the legs
so they will not move.
Fence.&.Miter.Gauge
1.. Attach the fence handle to the fence and thread
the rear rail foot into the bottom of the fence (see
Figure.26).
2.. Place the fence on the rails on the right hand side of
the blade (see Figure.27).
Note:.Make sure the cam foot contacts the cam on
the fence lock handle before you place the fence on
the rail, otherwise the fence will not lock onto the
rail tube.
3.. Slide the miter gauge into the T-slot on the left hand
side of the blade.
Magnetic.Switch
1. Install the magnetic switch onto the bottom left
hand side of the front rail using two M6-1 x 12 hex
bolts, 6mm lock washers, and 6mm flat washers, as
shown in Figure.28.
2. Secure the top of the switch to the rail with an M6-1
x 12 Phillip head screw, 6mm lock washer, and flat
washer.
Saw.Blade
1.. Remove the table insert by unscrewing the screw
that fastens it to the table.
2. Raise the arbor all the way up and set the blade
angle at 0º.
3. Remove the arbor nut and arbor flange from the
arbor, slide on the included 10" saw blade, making
sure the teeth face the front of the saw, then install
the arbor flange and arbor nut onto the blade. See
Page.35 for additional details.

4. Put on a pair of heavy leather gloves and use the
included arbor wrenches to tighten the arbor nut
(turn clockwise to tighten), as shown in Figure.29.
Checking.Fence.Parallelism
1. Slide the fence along the rail. If it drags across the
table, then adjust the foot at the rear of the fence
with a 6mm hex wrench to raise the fence off of
the table, just enough so that the gap between the
fence and the table is even from front to back.
2. Slide the fence up against the right hand edge of the
miter slot, and lock it in place. Examine how the
fence lines up with the miter slot (see Figure.30).
. Note: It is permissible for the back of the fence
to pivot outward not more than
1
⁄64" from being
parallel to the blade. This creates a slightly larger
opening between the fence and the rear of the
blade to reduce the risk of workpiece binding
or burning as it is fed through the cut. Many
woodworkers intentionally set up their fence in this
manner. Keep this in mind before adjusting your
fence. For more details see Figure 109 on Page 71.
— If the fence/miter slot are still parallel with the
blade, proceed to Step.Fence.Scale.
— If the fence is not parallel to the blade/miter
slot, then you MUST adjust the fence, as described
in Fence.Adjustments on Page.70, so that it is
parallel to the blade.
— If the miter slot is not parallel with the blade, you
must follow the procedures described in Miter.Slot.
to.Blade.Parallelism on Page.67.
Fence.Scale.
Since the adhesive fence scale will be difficult to remove
once it installed, determine whether you will use the
pointer window on the right or the left side of the fence
before installing the scale.
The pointer window may come pre-installed on the left
side of the fence. However, we recommend loosening the
mounting screws on the window and re-installing it on the
right side of the fence (see Figure.31) so workpieces will
not cover the pointer window when preparing to cut.

SETUP
On the Model W1819, if you move the pointer window to
the right side of the fence, you may have to trim the last
two inches of the scale so it will not protrude past the
end of the fence tube.
One option for using the pointer window on the left side
of the fence is to use it in conjunction with a small, left-
reading scale (not included).
To.install.the.fence.scale,.do.these.steps:.
1. Slide the fence up against the saw blade and lock it
in place.
2.. Place the front rail tape scale on the fence tube,
making sure it is parallel with the tube and that the
"0" end is directly under the red line on the pointer
window, as shown in Figure.31.
3. Lightly mark the "0" location on the fence tube with
a pencil, then remove the fence.
4. Peel the tape and carefully align the "0" mark on the
scale with the pencil mark you made on the fence
tube.
— If you make a mistake, loosen the screws on the
pointer window, slide the fence against the blade,
adjust the pointer window so the red line on the
window is over the 0" mark on the tape, then
secure the screws.
Blade.Guard
1. Re-install the table insert, slide the knurled knob out
(see Figure.32) and rotate it forward so it engages
the upper bracket.
2.. Slide the blade guard spreader all the way down
into the adjustment block, then rotate the knurled
knob so it disengages the bracket and the locking pin
engages the hole in the center of the spreader.
3. Give the spreader an upward tug to verify that it is
locked.
The blade guard, when properly installed, should
look like Figure.33, and should pivot freely so it
touches the table surface in the down position. It
should also swing up high enough to accommodate
the workpiece.

is flush with the table (use a straightedge as a
guide), then tighten the button head screw to secure
the table insert in place.
5. Place a straightedge against the blade and the
spreader. When properly aligned, the spreader/
riving knife will be parallel with the blade and in the
"Alignment Zone," shown in Figure.34.
— If the spreader/riving knife is not inside the
alignment zone and not parallel with the
blade, then it needs to be adjusted. Proceed to
"Adjusting Alignment" on Page.69.
— If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with
the blade, it may be bent. Proceed to "Checking
Alignment" on Page.68 to determine if the
spreader/riving knife is bent.
Dust.Co llection
To connect a dust collection hose, do these steps:
1. Fit a 4" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in
Figure 35, and tightly secure in place with a hose
clamp.
2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note:.A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Non-Through.Cuts
A non-through cut is a sawing operation where the blade
does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock,
as shown in Figure.39.
Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and
rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury
from kickback because the spreader and blade guard
must be removed. When making non-through cuts with a
standard blade, the riving knife MUST be installed. When
making non-through cuts with a dado blade, extreme
care, including using multiple light passes must be used,
because the blade guard cannot be used.

Figure.45..Stacked dado blade.
Dado.Blades.(see Figure.45):.
There are two types of dado blades: stacked and wobble.
• Stacked.Dado.Blade: These dedicated dado cutting
blade sets consist of up to 8 individual blades.
Multiple cutters are "stacked" between two outside
blades. The width of the dado is determined by the
combination of cutters that are “stacked” together.
The dado is cut in a single pass leaving a smooth and
square channel in the face of the workpiece. Stacked
dado blades are the most expensive option, but are
worth considering if your projects require a lot of
visible dado cuts. A stacked dado blade is shown in
Figure.45.
• Wobble.Dado.Blade: Also a dedicated dado blade,
a wobble blade usually consists of a single blade
that is tilted on the arbor shaft while it is spinning.
The channel is cut in the face of the workpiece as
the blade passes through its pre-adjusted width of
travel. Wobble blades are an inexpensive option
when visibly pleasing channels are not a concern.
.
Thin.Kerf.Blade
A blade with a kerf or thickness that is thinner than
a standard blade. Since thin kerf blades are typically
the same thickness of the spreader or riving knife—and
in some cases thinner—we DO NOT recommend that
they be used on this saw due to the increased risk of
kickback. The acceptable kerf range is 0.102"– 0.126"
(2.6mm–3.2mm).
Note:.This section on blade selection is by no
means comprehensive. Always follow the saw blade
manufacturer's recommendations to ensure safe and
efficient operation of your table saw.

OPERATIONS
Blade.Guard.Assembly
The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that con-
sists of the clear polycarbonate shield, the spreader, and
the anti-kickback pawls on each side of the spreader
(Figure. 48). Each of these components have important
safety functions during the operation of the saw.
Guard
The clear polycarbonate guard allows the operator to
see the blade cut the workpiece during operation. This
guard is designed to lift as the workpiece is pushed into
the blade and remain in contact with the workpiece
throughout the entire cut.
The guard reduces injury risk by providing a barrier
around the blade that prevents accidental contact and
contains flying wood chips.
To ensure that the guard does its job effectively, it must
always be in the downward position against the table
in the resting position during idle operation, and the
hinge mechanism must be maintained in good working
condition so the guard can freely pivot up and down to
accommodate the height of the workpiece and return to
the table surface.
Spreader
The spreader is a metal plate that prevents the newly
cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the backside of
the blade, causing kickback. The spreader also acts as a
barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled
into the blade if a kickback occurs.
Figure.48. Blade guard assembly
components.
Clear Shield
Spreader
Anti-Kickback
Pawl
In order to work properly, the spreader
cannot be bent or misaligned with the
blade. If the spreader gets accidentally
bent, take the time to straighten it
or just replace it. Using a bent or
misaligned spreader will increase the
risk of kickback!
To ensure that the blade spreader works safely, the
following requirements MUST be met when installing
new blades:
•. Blade.Diameter:.10"
• Spreader.Thickness:.0.1".(2.5mm)
• Required. Blade. Body. Thickness. (excluding. teeth):.
0.071–0.094".
. (1.8–2.4mm)
• Required. Blade. Kerf. Thickness:. 0.102"–. 0.126".
(2.6mm–3.2mm)
The spreader MUST be aligned/adjusted to the blade.
These requirements are not applicable to dado
blades.

-37-
Model W1819/W1820 (Mfg. Since 09/11)
OPERATIONS
Anti-Kickback.Pawls
The anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in
only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards,
such as during a kickback, the pawls will dig into the
workpiece to slow or stop it.
To work properly, the pawls must return to their bottom-
most position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 49, and
they must not be engaged in the arresting hooks. If the
pawls fail to return to the bottom position, the pivot
spring may have been dislodged or broken and will need
to be fixed/replaced.
Disabling Pawls
To disable the pawls, rotate the arresting hooks
downward, then place the pawls on each of the hooks, as
shown in Figure 50.
Use your best judgment before retracting the pawls,
as they are provided for your safety. Certain situations
could warrant retracting the pawls. For example, you
might retract the pawls if you are concerned about them
scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that
they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding
difficulty or loss of control.

Enabling Pawls
To enable the pawls, lift up on each pawl and move
them outward and down until they both touch the table
surface, as shown in Figure 49.
When.to.Use.the.Blade.Guard
The blade guard assembly MUST always be installed on
the saw for all normal through cuts (those where the
blade cuts all the way through the thickness of the
workpiece).
When.Not.to.Use.the.Blade.Guard
The blade guard cannot be used on any non-through
cuts (those in which the blade does not cut all the way
through the thickness of the workpiece).
Sometimes the blade guard or its components can get in
the way when cutting very narrow workpieces or other
specialized cuts. Because the blade guard is provided to
decrease your risk of injury, it should not be used if it
gets in the way of making a safe cut. Use good judgment!

Model W1819/W1820 (Mfg. Since 09/11)
OPERATIONS
Riving.Knife
The riving knife works in the same manner as the spread-
er on the blade guard assembly. It is a metal plate that
prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the back-
side of the blade and causing kickback.
The key difference between the spreader and the riving
knife is that the riving knife mounts below the blade's
highest point of rotation, as shown in Figure.51.
The height difference between the riving knife and the
blade allows the workpiece to pass over the blade during
non-through cuts (those in which the blade does not cut
all the way through the thickness of the workpiece).
The riving knife acts as a barrier behind the blade to
reduce the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if
a kickback occurs. The riving knife must be kept within
the range shown in Figure 52. For that reason, we only
recommend using a 10" blade for operations that require
use of the riving knife.

.Riving knife MUST be aligned to blade;
These Requirements do not apply to
dado blades.
How.to.Install.the.Riving.Knife.
The riving knife is installed in a similar manner to the
blade guard and spreader. Refer to Blade Guard on Page.
36 for installation instructions.
When.to.Use.the.Riving.Knife
Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts made with
a standard table saw blade (i.e., dadoes or rabbet cuts
in which a dado blade is NOT used, and when using a
tenoning jig). Also, use the riving knife for those special
operations where the blade guard or its components get
in the way of safe operation, such as with very narrow
cuts.
When Not to Use the Riving Knife
The riving knife CANNOT be used with a dado blade
that has a diameter smaller than 10." Otherwise, the
riving knife height will exceed the blade height and the
workpiece will hit the riving knife during the cut, forcing
the operator into a dangerous situation of trying to turn
the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the
cut.
In addition, although it is possible to use the riving knife
for through cutting operations, the blade guard assembly
offers far more injury protection and risk reduction than
the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend that
you use the blade guard assembly instead of the riving
knife for through cuts.

Workpiece.Inspec tion
Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may
require modification before they can be made
safe to cut.
Before.cutting,.get.in.the.habit.of.inspecting.
all.workpieces.for.the.following:
• Material Type: This machine is intended
for cutting natural and man-made wood
products, laminate covered wood products,
and some plastics. Cutting drywall or
cementious backer board creates extremely
fine dust and may reduce the life of the
bearings. This machine is NOT designed to
cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting
these materials with a table saw may lead
to injury.
• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt,
rocks and other foreign objects are often
embedded in wood. While cutting, these
objects can become dislodged and hit the
operator, cause kickback, or break the
blade, which might then fly apart. Always
visually inspect your workpiece for these
items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT
cut the workpiece.
•. Large/Loose Knots:.Loose knots can
become dislodged during the cutting
operation. Large knots can cause kickback
and machine damage. Choose workpieces
that do not have large/loose knots or plan
ahead to avoid cutting through them.
•. Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood
with a moisture content over 20% causes
unnecessary wear on the blades, increases
the risk of kickback, yields poor results.
• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with
excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are
dangerous to cut because they are unstable
and often unpredictable when being
cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these
characteristics!
• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight
cupping can be safely supported if the
cupped side is facing the table or the
fence.

Ripping
"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of a natural wood
workpiece. In other man-made materials such as MDF or
plywood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise.
To.make.a.r ip.cut,.do.these.steps:
1. Review Preventing.Kickback on Page.13.and take
the necessary precautions to prevent kickback.
2. If using natural wood, joint one long edge of the
workpiece on a jointer.
3.. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
4. Ensure that the blade guard/spreader is installed.
5. Set the fence to the desired width of cut on the
scale.
6. Adjust the blade height so the highest saw tooth
protrudes approximately
1
/4" above the workpiece.
7.. Set up safety devices such as featherboards or other
anti-kickback devices.
8. Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it does not
come into contact with any of the safety devices.
9. Plug the saw into the power source, turn it ON, and
allow it to reach full speed.
Note: The jointed edge of the workpiece must slide
against the fence during the cutting operation.
10.. Use a push stick to feed the workpiece through
the saw blade, as shown in Figure.53, until the
workpiece is completely past the saw blade.

Blade.Tilt.&.Bevel.Cuts
When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly adjusted, as
described on Page.65, the blade tilt handwheel allows the
operator to tilt the blade to the left, anywhere between
0° and 45°. This is used most often when cutting bevels
or compound miters. Figure.58 shows an example of the
blade when tilted to 45°.
Figure.58. Blade tilted to 45° for bevel
cutting on a typical table saw.
Flip.Stop
The flip stop can be positioned anywhere along the top
of the miter fence and secured in place with a lock lever
(see Figure.57), the same distance away from the blade
as your desired width of cut.
The flip stop can be used in the down position to make
multiple cuts of the same width. It can be pivoted
(hence the name “flip”) out of the way to allow longer
workpieces to be cut, then pivoted back down to make
additional cuts at the specified cutting width.

Dado.Cutting
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. Figure 59 shows a cutaway view of a dado cut
being made with a dado blade.
The included dado table insert must be installed and used
when a dado blade is installed—unless a zero clearance
table insert is used instead.
The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when making
a dado cut with a dado blade. If the motor starts to bog
down, slow down your feed rate, reduce the depth of cut
and make multiple shallow passes.

Cutting.Dadoes.with.a.Dado.Blade
Because dado blades are so much wider than standard
blades, they place a much greater amount of force against
the workpiece when cutting.
To avoid injury, dado cuts require a much slower feed rate
than normal cuts, and they are best done with multiple
light cuts that get progressively deeper until the desired
depth of cut is achieved, as demonstrated in Figure 60.
To.cut.a.dado.with.a.dado.blade,.d o.these.steps:
1. Adjust the dado blade to the desired depth of cut.
2. Adjust the distance between the fence and the
inside edge of the blade, as shown in Figure.59 on
Page.44.
— If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter
gauge and carefully line up the desired cut
with the dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in
combination with the miter gauge.
3. Reconnect the saw to the power source.
4. Turn the saw ON. The blade should run smooth, with
no vibrations.
5. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a
test cut with a scrap piece of wood.
6. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the
actual workpiece.

4. Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut
(depth of dado channel desired).
— If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter
gauge to support the workpiece, and align the
blade to cut one of the dado sides. DO NOT use
the fence in combination with the miter gauge.
— If dadoing the length of a workpiece, align the

Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece requires a
sacrificial fence attachment as shown in Figure.64. Make
the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and
3

Resawing
Resawing is the process of cutting a thick piece of stock
into one or more thinner pieces. Although resawing can
be done with a table saw, we strongly recommend that
you use a bandsaw instead.
A bandsaw is the ideal machine for resawing, and
resawing with one is fairly easy and safe. A table saw
is not intended for resawing, and resawing with one
is difficult and dangerous due to the increased risk of
kickback from binding and deep cuts, and the increased
risk of injury from having to remove the guard.
If you insist on resawing with a table saw, DO NOT do
so without using a resaw barrier and wearing a full face
shield. The following instructions describe how to build a
resaw barrier and add an auxiliary fence to your standard
fence, to reduce the risk injury from resawing on a table
saw.
Note: This table saw can only resaw wood that is less
than 6

4. Attach the auxiliary fence to the standard fence and
set it to the desired width.
Note:.When figuring out the correct width, do not
forget to account for blade kerf and the inaccuracy
of the fence scale while the auxiliary fence is
installed. Typically it is best to use a measuring
tape to set the fence.
5. Place the workpiece against the auxiliary fence and
slide the resaw barrier against the workpiece, as
shown in Figure.70. Now clamp the resaw barrier to
the top of the table saw at both ends.
6. Slide the workpiece over the blade to make sure it
moves smoothly, then remove the workpiece.
7. Raise the blade approximately an inch, or close
to half the height of the workpiece (Figure.71),
whichever is less.
8. Plug in the table saw, turn it ON, and use a push
stick or push block to feed the workpiece through
the blade, using a slow and steady feed rate.
9. Flip the workpiece end for end, keeping the same
side against the fence, and run the workpiece
through the blade.
10. Repeat Steps.7–9 until the blade is close to half
of the height of the board to be resawn. The ideal
completed resaw cut will leave a

OPERATIONS
Featherbo ards
Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards (Figure.72).
provide an added degree of protection against kickback,
especially when used together with push sticks. They
also maintain pressure on the workpiece to keep it
against the fence or table while cutting, which makes
the operation easier and safer because the cut can be
completed without the operator’s hands getting near the
blade. The angled ends and flexibility of the fingers allow
the workpiece to move in only one direction, which helps
slow/stop the workpiece if a kickback occurs.
Making.a.Featherboard
This sub-section covers the two basic types of
featherboards: 1) Those secured by clamps to the table or
fence, or 2) those secured by a wood runner that mounts
in the table saw miter slot.

To make a featherboard, do these steps:
1. Cut a hardwood board
3
⁄4" thick to size. The length
and width of the board can vary according to your
design. Most featherboards are 10"–28" long and 3"–6"
wide. Make sure the wood grain runs parallel with
the length of the featherboard, so the fingers you
create in Step.3 will bend without breaking.
2. Cut a 30º angle at one end of the board.

and 1"–2" from the short end of the featherboard
(see Figure.73).
5. Cut a miter bar that will fit in the table miter slot
approximately 5" long, as shown in Figure.74.
Tip:.Consider making the miter bar longer for larger
featherboards—approximately half the length of the
total featherboard—to support the force applied to
the featherboard during use.
. Tip: The length of the flat head screw depends on
the thickness of the featherboard—though 1
1
⁄2" to 2"
lengths usually work.
Now, proceed to Mounting.Featherboard.in.Miter.

6. Drill a
1
⁄4" hole in the center of the bar, then
countersink the bottom to fit a
1
⁄4"-20 flat head
screw.
7. Mark a 4" line through the center of the countersunk
hole, then use a jig saw with a narrow blade to cut
it out.
8. Assemble the miter bar and featherboard with a
1
⁄4"-
20 x flat head screw, flat washer, and a wing nut or
a star knob (see Figure.75). Congratulations! Your
featherboard is complete.
3. Make a series of end cuts with the grain,
approximately
3
⁄8"–
1
⁄4" apart and 2"–3" long, as shown
in Figure.72.(A).
Alternatively, start cuts at 2"-3" deep, then make
them progressively deeper, as shown in Figure.72.
(B).
IMPORTANT: Cuts made across the grain will result
in weak fingers that easily break when flexed. When
made correctly, the fingers should withstand flexing
from moderate pressure. To test the finger flexibility,
push firmly on the ends with your thumb. If the
fingers do not flex, they are likely too thick (the
cuts are too far apart).

OPERATIONS
Mounting.Featherboards.with.Clamps
1. Lower the saw blade, then adjust the fence to the
desired width and secure it.
2. Place the workpiece against the fence, making sure
it is 1" in front of the blade.
3. Place a featherboard on the table away from the
blade so all fingers point forward and contact the
workpiece (see Figure.76).
4. Secure the featherboard to the table with a clamp.
5. Check the featherboard by pushing it with your
thumb to ensure it is secure.
— If the featherboard moves, tighten the clamp
more.
6. Mount a second featherboard to the fence with
another clamp (see Figure.76), then repeat Step.5
to ensure it is secure.
Mounting.Featherboard.in.Miter.Slot
1. Lower the saw blade, then adjust the fence to the
desired width and secure it.
2.. Place the workpiece evenly against the fence, with
the end approximately 1" in front of the blade.
3. Slide the featherboard miter bar into the miter slot,
making sure the fingers slant toward the blade, as
shown in Figure.77.
4. Position the fingered edge of the featherboard
against the edge of the workpiece, so that all
of the fingers contact the workpiece. Slide the
featherboard toward the blade until the first finger
is nearly even with the end of the workpiece, which
should be approximately 1" away from the blade.
5. Double check the workpiece and the featherboard to
ensure they are properly positioned as described in
Step.4. Then secure the featherboard to the table.
Check the featherboard by hand to make sure it is
tight.
Note: The featherboard should be placed firmly
enough against the workpiece to keep it against the
fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed the
workpiece.

Push.Sticks
When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk of injury
by keeping hands away from the blade while cutting. In
the event of an accident, a push stick can absorb damage
that would have otherwise happened to hands or fingers.
Use push sticks whenever your hands will get within 12"
of the blade. To maintain control when cutting large
workpieces, start the cut by feeding with your hands then
use push sticks to finish the cut, so your hands are not on
the end of the workpiece as it passes through the blade.
Feeding: Place the notched end of the push stick
against the end of the workpiece (see inset Figure.78),
and move the workpiece into the blade with steady
downward and forward pressure.
Supporting: A second push stick can be used to keep the
workpiece firmly against the fence while cutting. When
using a push stick in this manner, only apply pressure
before the blade; otherwise, pushing the workpiece
against or behind the blade will increase the risk of
kickback (see Figure.78).

Push.Blocks
When used correctly, a push block reduces the risk of
injury by keeping hands away from the blade while
cutting. In the event of an accident, a push block often
takes the damage that would have otherwise happened
to hands or fingers.
A push block can be used in place of or in addition to
a push stick for feeding workpieces into the blade. Due
to their design, push blocks allow the operator to apply
firm downward pressure on the workpiece that could not
otherwise be achieved with a push stick.
The push block design on this page (see Figure.83) can
be used in two different ways (see Figure.82). Typically,
the bottom of the push block is used until the end of the
workpiece reaches the blade.
The notched end of the push block is then used to push
the workpiece the rest of the way through the cut,
keeping the operator's hands at a safe distance from the
blade. A push stick is often used at the same time in the
other hand to support the workpiece during the cut.

Using.the.Auxiliary.Fence.and.Push.Block
1. Place the auxiliary fence on the table and clamp it
to the fence at both ends, then adjust the distance
between the auxiliary fence and the blade—this
determines how wide the workpiece will be ripped
(see Figure.87).
2. Install the blade guard, then secure the spreader
pawls in the upright position, as shown in Figure 50
on Page.37, so they do not interfere with the push
block lip.
3. Place the workpiece 1" in front of the blade and
evenly against the table and the auxiliary fence.
4.. Turn the saw ON, then begin ripping the workpiece
using a push stick for side support.
As the workpiece nears the end of the cut, place
the push block on the auxiliary fence with the lip
directly behind the workpiece, then release the
push stick just before it is even with the blade (see
Figure.89). Guide the workpiece the rest of the way
through the cut with the push block, then re-install
the pawls on the spreader when cutting operations
are finished.

OPERATIONS
One of the best accessories for improving the safety and
ease of using a table saw is simply placing a large table
(outfeed table) behind the saw to catch the workpiece
(see Figure.90). Additionally, another table to the left
of the saw (support table) can also help support large
workpieces so they can be cut safely and accurately.
A crosscut sled (see Figure .91) is a fantastic way to
improve the safety and accuracy of crosscutting on the
table saw. Most expert table operator uses a crosscut
sled when they have to crosscut a large volume of work,
because the sled offers substantial protection against
kickback when crosscutting.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Model W1819/W1820 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up,
use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
After cleaning, treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with
a non-staining lubricant.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the
internal parts with more than a vacuum. To do this,
remove the table top and clean the internal parts with
resin/pitch dissolver or mineral spirits and a stiff wire
brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER. WATER WILL
CAUSE CAST IRON TO RUST.
Make sure the internal workings are dry before using
the saw again, so that wood dust will not accumulate.
If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning,
re-lubricate those areas.
Cleani ng
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this
maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions
given in this section.
Daily.Check:
• Inspect blades for damage or wear.
• Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.
• Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.
• Check for any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
• Wipe the table clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare
metal surfaces.
Weekly.Maintenance:
• Wipe down the table surface and grooves with a
lubricant and rust preventive such as SLIPIT
®
.
• Vacuum dust buildup from the motor housing and
trunnions.
• Clean the pitch and resin from the saw blade with a
cleaner like OxiSolv
®

MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the compo-
nents before lubricating them.
This step is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard to move.
Simply adding more grease to built-up grime will not
result in smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/grease
solvent cleaner.
The following are the main components that need to be
lubricated:
• Trunnion Slides and Orientation Gears
• Worm Gears, Trunnion and Bearing Housing Teeth
Trunnion.Slides.&.Orientation.Gears
Clean the trunnion slides with mineral spirits and a rag,
and brush a dab of lithium grease into each groove. Move
the blade tilt back and forth to spread the grease (see
Figure.92).
Also use a wire brush and mineral spirits to clean any
debris or grime off the orientation gears, then apply
lithium grease to the gears with a brush.

Parallelism
Figure 100. Example of adjusting blade to
miter slot.
Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot
and the rip fence are parallel to the blade. If either of
these are not exactly parallel, your cuts and your fin-
ished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly,
the risk of kickback will be increased. Take the time to
adjust your table saw properly. A few minutes now will
be time well spent.

steps:
1.. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.. Use an adjustable square to measure the distance
from the miter slot to a carbide tip on the blade, as
shown in Figure.100. Make sure that the face of the
adjustable square is even along the miter slot.
3.. With the end of the adjustable square just touching
the tooth or carbide tip, lock the square in place.
Now, mark the carbide tip with a marker where you
made this measurement.
4.. Rotate the marked blade tip to the other end of the
table insert.
5.. Slide the adjustable square down to the other end
of the table insert, and compare the distance from
the marked blade tip to the end of the adjustable
square.
— If the blade tip measurement is not the same, the
table will need to be adjusted. Proceed to Step.6.
— If the blade tip measurement is the same on both
sides, go to Step.7.
6.. To adjust the table, loosen the four cap screws
in the table mounting locations (see Figure.101)

steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Raise the saw blade to the maximum height so you
have easy working access.
3. Place the straightedge alternately against the top
and bottom of blade and spreader/riving knife, as
shown in Figure.102. The spreader/riving knife
should be parallel with the blade along its length at
both positions, and it should be in the "Alignment
Zone," as shown in Figure.103.
— If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the
blade and inside the alignment zone, then it needs
to be adjusted. Proceed to Adjusting.Alignment
instructions.
— If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the
blade at either the top or bottom, it may be bent.
4. Remove the spreader/riving knife and place it on a

Fence.Adjustments
There are four main adjustments for the fence: (1) square,
(2) height, (3) parallelism, and (4) clamping pressure.
Keep in mind that these adjustments are interconnected
and some trial-and-error may be needed to achieve
satisfactory results.
Tools.Needed. Qty
Hex Wrench 6mm ...............................................1
Square ............................................................1
Felt-Tipped Marker .............................................1
Square.and.Height
The fence face must be square to the table in order to
produce square cuts. The fence should be adjusted so it
does not drag across the table surface.
To.check/adjust.the.fence.height.and.squareness.to.the.
table,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Place a square on the table against the face of the
fence (see Figure.105) to check if the fence is square
to the table.
— If the fence is square to table, go to Step.4.
— If the fence is not square to table, go to Step.3.
3. Adjust the set screws (see Figure.106) on top of the
fence bracket to ensure the fence face is 90° to the
table, then tighten the knurled lock nuts.
4.. Look at the gap between the fence and table top.
— If the gap is approximately
1
⁄16" and even from the
front of the table to the back, then no additional
adjustments are necessary.
— If the gap is uneven, if the fence height is more
than
1
⁄8", or if the fence touches the table, then
continue with Step.5.
5. Adjust the fence height with the rear rail foot
until the gap between the table and the fence is
approximately
1
⁄16" and even from the front of the
table to the back. Note: If the front end of the
fence needs to be adjusted up or down, use the
set screws from Figure 106; turn them in even
increments and recheck the squareness afterwards.

Clamping Pressure and Parallelism
Set screws on the rear side of the fence bracket adjust
the clamping pressure to hold your fence securely, and
position the fence parallel to the blade.
To.adjust.the.fence.clamping.pressure.and.parallelism.
to.the.blade,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Remove the fence.
3. Equally adjust the set screws shown in Figure.107
on the rear side of the front bracket as necessary
until the clamping pressure is strong enough that the
fence will not move as pressure is applied against it.
Figure.107. Location of set screws used
to adjust fence parallelism and clamping
pressure.
Set Screws
Fence
Bracket
4. Place the fence approximately 4" away from the
blade.
5. Measure the distance between the fence and the
front of the blade at one end of the table insert,
then mark the tooth that you measured from with a
felt-tipped marker.
6. Rotate the blade to the other end of the table insert
(see Figure.108), and recheck the distance between
the fence and the blade to ensure they are parallel.
7. Use trial-and-error to adjust the set screws so the
fence is parallel to the blade and the clamping
pressure is sufficient.
. Optional: Some woodworkers prefer to offset the
rear of the fence
1
⁄64" from the blade, as shown in
Figure 109, to help prevent the workpiece from
binding and burning.
The argument is that this offset adjustment reduces
the chance of kickback by alleviating potential
binding that may occur between the backside of
the blade and fence. The trade-off is slightly less
accurate cuts.

3. Flip your scrap piece of wood over, placing the side
that was cut in Step.2 against the fence, and cut
your scrap piece of wood.
4. Measure the width of the freshly cut workpiece with
a tape measure. The workpiece width should be
exactly 12". If it is not, then adjust the indicator
window to match the width of the workpiece.

the pointer to 0°, then tighten the screw.
4. Place the 90° square evenly against the face of the
miter gauge and the blade, as shown in Figure.111.
— If the square touches the miter body and the body
of the blade (not the teeth) evenly at the same
time, then it is square to the blade and the 90°
stop is set correctly. No further adjustments are
necessary.
— If the square does not touch the miter body and
blade body evenly at the same time, then proceed
to Step.5.
Adjusting.Miter.Bar.Tightness
The miter bar can be adjusted so it fits more tightly in
the miter slot.
To increase the miter bar tightness, tighten the set
screws shown in Figure.113; to decrease the miter bar
tightness, loosen the set screws.

tried in the State of Washington, County of Whatcom. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries
