Special Cutting Techniques

This table saw is a highly versatile tool, capable of
performing a wide range of highly specialized

cuts that cannot be covered in this manual. Do not attempt to
perform cuts not covered in this manual unless you are thoroughly
familiar with procedures and fixturing.

See your local library for books on woodworking techniques, such
as: The Complete Book of Stationary Power Tool Techniques by
R.J. De Christoforo or Table Saw Techniques by R. Cliffe.

Maintaining Your

Table Saw

Maintenance

For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and
remove plug from power source outlet before

maintaining or lubricating your saw.

Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Frequently
blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the saw cabinet
and the motor. Clean your cutting tools with a Gum and Pitch
Remover.

The cord and the tool should be wiped with a dry clean cloth to
prevent deterioration from oil and grease.

Certain cleaning agents and solvents can damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon

tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents which contain ammonia. Avoiding use of
these and other types of cleaning agents will minimize the
possibility of damage.

A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will help to
keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide more freely.

If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTIKICKBACK pawls are always
sharp. To sharpen:

1. Remove blade guard.

2. Rotate pawl toward rear of spreader so that teeth are above top
of spreader.

3. Hold spreader with left hand and place pawl over corner of
workbench (Fig. 44).

4. Using a small round file (Smooth Cut) sharpen the teeth.

All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be
attempted only by trained repairmen. Contact the

nearest Factory Service Center or Authorized Service Station or
other competent repair service. Use only identical replacement
parts, any other may create a hazard.
