SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS,
SPECIFICATIONS & TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. ALWAYS USE A GUARD.
Always use a guard, splitter and anti-kickback fingers on all
“thru-sawing” operations. Thru-sawing operations are those
when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in
ripping or crosscutting.
2. ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK.
Always hold the work firmly against the miter gauge or fence.
3. ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK.
For ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in
instruction manual where push sticks are covered in detail.
4. NEVER.
Never perform any operations “free-hand” which means using
your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use
either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the
workpiece.
5. NEVER.
Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path
of the saw blade.
6. NEVER REACH BEHIND.
Never reach behind or over the cutting tool with either hand for
any reason.
7. MOVE THE RIP FENCE.
Move the rip fence out of the way when cross cutting.
8. WHEN CUTTING MOULDINGS.
Never run the stock between the fence and the moulding
cutterhead. Refer to moulding applications in the manual for
details.
9. DIRECTION OF FEED.
Feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction or
rotation of the blade or cutter.
10. NEVER.
Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when you are cross
cutting.
11. NEVER.
Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning
the saw OFF.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT.
To the rear and sides of the table saw for wide or long
workpieces.
13. AVOID KICKBACKS.
Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back towards you) by keeping
the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the saw
blade, by keeping the splitter and anti-kickback fingers and
guard in place and operating, by nor releasing work before it is
pushed all the way past the saw blade, and by not ripping work
that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the fence.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting
tool.

AILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE TABLE
SAW DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO
COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
CONNECTING SAW TO POWER SOURCE
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your power tools. This circuit
should be no less than a #12 wire and should be protected by a 20 Amp time
lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extensions cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tools plug. For distances up to 100 feet use #12 wire. Before connecting the
motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the ‘’OFF’’ position and be
sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the
motor nameplate. All line connections should make good contact. Running
on low voltage will damage the motor.
PLUG & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock. The motor recommended for use with your saw is shipped wired for
220 Volt, single phase and is not equipped with a 220V plug, it must be
purchased and installed, Figure 20 illustrates a 220V plug configuration. The
green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green
wire to a live terminal. For 110V operation, internal motor wires must be
repositioned and a 110V plug must be installed. Figure 21 illustrates a 110V
plug configuration. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY
A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN OR ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!

BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
To raise or lower the saw blade, loosen the lock knob (A), Fig.23 and turn
the raising handwheel (B). With the exception of hollow ground blades. The
blade should be raised 1/8’’ to 1/4’’ above the surface of the material being
cut. With hollow ground blades the blade should be raised to the maximum
to provide chip clearance.
To tilt the saw blade, loosen lock knob (C) Fig.23, and turn tilting handwheel
(D). When desired angle is obtained, tighten lock knob (C).
ADJUSTMENT FOR ‘’WEAR’’ IN RAISING MECHANISM
After a long period of time, it is possible that the raising worm and the teeth
on the arbor bracket will wear slightly resulting in play in the raising
mechanism. To compensate for this wear the raising worm and the arbor
bracket can be brought closer together. This can be done as follows:
1. Remove lock knob and raising handwheel but do not remove pointer.
2. Loosen lock nut (A) Fig.24 and using the pointer (B) as a lever turn to the
right or left until all the perceptable play between the worm and arbor
bracket is removed.
3. When this adjustment is completed, reset the pointer to 0
0
and then
tighten lock nut (A).
4. If mechanism is too tight, reverse above procedure.

OPERATIONS
REMOVING SAW BLADE
When removing saw blades from the saw, make sure the saw is
disconnected from the power source. Standing in front of the table
saw, remove the table insert, place a block of wood against the front
of the saw blade and using the arbor nut wrench, turn the arbor nut
away from you.
OPERA
TION
Plain sawing includes ripping and crosscutting, plus a few other
standard operations of a fundamental nature. The following methods
feature safety
. As with all power tools there is a certain amount of
hazard involved with the operator and his use of the tool. Using the
tool with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety
precautions are concerned will considerably lessen the possibility of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked
or completely ignored, person injury to the operator can develop. It is
good practice to make trial cuts using scrap material when setting up
your saw for operation.
CROSSCUTTING
Crosscutting requires the use of the miter gauge to position and guide
the work. Place the work against the miter gauge and advance both
the gauge and the work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig.27.
The miter gauge may be used in either table slot, however most
operators prefer the left slot for average work. When bevel cutting
(blade tilted), use the table slot that does not cause interference of
your hand or miter gauge with the saw blade guard.
Start the cut slowly and hold work firmly against the miter gauge and
the table. One of the rules in running a saw is that you never hang
onto or touch a free piece of work. Hold the supported piece, not the
free piece that is cut off. The feed in cross cutting continues until the
work is cut in two then the miter gauge and work are pulled back to
the starting point. Before pulling the work back it is good practice to
give the work a little sideways shift to move the work slightly away
from the saw blade. Never pick up any short length of free work from
the table while the saw is running. A smart operator never touches a
cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long. Never use the fence as a
cut-of
f gauge when cross cutting.
For added safety and convenience the miter gauge can be fitted with
an auxiliary wood-facing that should be at least 1 inch higher than the
maximum depth of cut, and should extend 12 inches or more on either
side of the blade. This auxiliary wood-facing can be fastened to the
front of the miter gage by using two screws through the holes
provided in the miter gauge body and into the wood-facing.
RIPPING
Ripping is making a lengthwise cut with the grain through a board, as
shown in Fig.28, and the rip fence is used to guide the work. One
edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the
board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it
must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table. The
saw guard must be used.
The guard has anti-kickback fingers and a
splitter to prevent the saw kerf from closing and binding the blade.
FIGURE 27
FIGURE 28
Start the motor and advance the work holding it down and against
the fence. Never stand in the line of the saw cut when ripping.
Hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and
into the saw blade, as shown in Fig.28. The work can then be fed
through the saw blade with one or two hands. After the work is
beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback fingers the hand is
removed from the work. When this is done the work will either stay
on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear end of the
guard or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately, the feed can
continue to the end of the table, after which the work is lifted and
brought back along the outside edge of the fence. The waste
stock remains on the table and is not touched with the hands until
the saw is stopped unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal.
OPERATIONS
If the ripped work is less than 3 inches wide, a push-stick should be
used to complete the feed, as shown in Fig.29. A typical push-stick is
shown in Fig.30, and can be easily made from scrap material. When
ripping 2 inches or narrower, make an auxiliary guide and fasten it to
the rip fence, and use a push-stick. When cutting the material such as
paneling, it is sometimes possible for the material to catch between
the bottom of the rip fence and the table surface.
To prevent this from happening, a wood-facing should be attached to
the fence as follows:
1. Cut a piece of wood approximately 3/4’’ thick to the length and
height of the rip fence.
2. Attach wood-facing (A) Fig.31 to the rip fence (B) by drilling four
holes and using four wood screws (C) inserted through the holes
as shown in Fig.31.
3. Care should be taken that the wood-facing fits flush to the table
surface along the edge (D) Fig.31, so that thin work material
cannot slide under.
USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting
mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in the table saw is a fast, safe
and clean operation. The many dif
ferent knife shapes available make
it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of moulding,
such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges,
etc.
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be
mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in Fig.32. Each of
the knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the cutterhead and
securely clamped with a screw. The knife grooves should be kept free
of sawdust which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.
The moulding cutterhead (A) Fig.33, is assembled the saw arbor in
the same manner as the saw blade. The guard, splitter and anti-kick-
back finger assembly can not be used when moulding and must be
removed from the saw as shown. Also, the accessory moulding
cutterhead dado table insert (B) Fig.33, must be used in place of the
standard table insert.
FIGURE 29
FIGURE 30
FIGURE 31
FIGURE 32
FIGURE 33
OPERATIONS
It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood-
facing to one or both sides of the rip fence. The wood-facing is
attached to the fence with wood screws. 3/4’’ stock is suitable for
most work.
Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead
below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the
cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing.
Make sure not to cut into the rip fence. Fig.34 shows a typical
moulding operation. NEVER USE THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
IN A BEVEL POSITION.
IMPORTANT: NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE FENCE
AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IRREGULAR SHAPED
WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.
When moulding end grain, the miter gauge is used. The feed should
be slowed up at the end of the cut to prevent splintering. In all cuts,
attention should be given to the grain, making the cut in the same
direction as the grain whenever possible.
ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS
COMPLETE.
USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the work. Dado
head sets (optional acc# KSC-8000) are made up of two outside
saws and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig.35. Various
combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8’
’
to 13/16’’ for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving ,etc.
The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this
heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws as shown in
Fig.36. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig.37, (A) being the
outside saw, (B) being the inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer or
washers which can be used as needed to control the exact width of
the groove. A 1/4’’ groove is cut by using the two outside saws. The
teeth of the saws should be positioned so that the raker on one saw
is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.
The dado head set (A) Fig.38, is assembled to the saw arbor in the
same manner as the saw blade. The guard, splitter and anti-kickback
finger assembly cannot be used when dadoing and must be
removed from the saw, as shown. Also the accessory dado head
table insert (B-Acc# KW-065) Fig.38, must be used instead of the
standard table insert (Acc# KW-064).
NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.
