Glossary of Terms
The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate to this table saw and woodworking in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting or operating this machine.

Arbor: A metal shaft extending from the drive mechanism which the blade is attached to.
Bevel Edge Cut: A cut made with the blade tilted to an angle between 0° and 45° to cut a beveled edge onto a workpiece. Refer to Page 48 for more details.
Blade Guard Assembly: Metal or plastic safety device that mounts over the saw blade. Its function is to prevent the operator from coming into contact with the saw blade. Refer to Page 39 for more details.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every point along two given lines or planes (i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw blade).
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect and form right angles (i.e. the blade is perpendicular to the table surface).
Push Stick: Safety device used to push the workpiece through a cutting operation. Used most often when rip cutting thin workpieces. Refer to Page 59 for more details.

Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the cut is made perpendicular to the grain of wood. Refer to Page 47 for more details.
Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are used to cut grooves and rabbets. This saw and arbor are not intended to safely use a dado blade larger than 3/4″ wide as specified on Page 6.
Dado Cut: Cutting operation that uses a dado blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the face of the workpiece. Refer to Page 48 for more details.
Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the workpiece against the rip fence and against the table surface. Refer to Page 56 for more details.

Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L-shaped channel along the edge of the workpiece. Refer to Page 51 for more details.
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the cut is made parallel to the grain of the wood. Refer to Page 46 for more details.
Riving Knife: Similar to the spreader however, the top of the riving knife is slightly lower than the top of the blade which allows nonthrough cuts.
Spreader/Splitter: Metal plate located behind the blade that keeps the cut workpiece from pinching the blade to reduce the possibility of kickback. Spreaders will typically have anti-kickback pawls attached.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece after the saw blade passes through during a cutting operation.
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is propelled back towards the operator, usually at a very high rate of speed.

Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness, parallelism, or consistency of a surface.
Thin Kerf Blade: A blade with a kerf or thickness that is thinner than a standard blade. Thin kerf blades cannot be used on this saw without using a thin-kerf riving knife.

Non-Through Cut: A cut in which the blade does not cut through the top of the workpiece. Refer to Page 35 for more details.

Through Cut: A cut in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece. Refer to Page 35 for more details.

SAFETY

For Machines Mfd. Since 8/21

SUAFEnTYderstanding Risks of Machinery
Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or relatively safe depending on how it is installed and maintained, and the operator’s experience, common sense, risk awareness, working conditions, and use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.).
The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, regular inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, application of safety devices, integrity of cutting tools or accessories, and the usage of approved personal protective equipment by all operators and bystanders.
The manufacturer of this machinery or equipment will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications, or misuse. Failure to read, understand, and follow the manual and safety labels may result in serious personal injury, including amputation, broken bones, electrocution, or death.
The signals used in this manual to identify hazard levels are as follows:

Death or catastrophic harm WILL occur.
Death or catastrophic harm COULD occur.

Moderate injury or fire MAY occur.
Machine or property damage may occur.

Basic Machine Safety

Owner’s Manual: All machinery and machining equipment presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. To reduce the risk of injury, anyone who uses THIS item MUST read and understand this entire manual before starting.
Personal Protective Equipment: Operating or servicing this item may expose the user to flying debris, dust, smoke, dangerous chemicals, or loud noises. These hazards can result in eye injury, blindness, longterm respiratory damage, poisoning, cancer, reproductive harm or hearing loss. Reduce your risks from these hazards by wearing approved eye protection, respirator, gloves, or hearing protection.

Trained/Supervised Operators Only: Untrained users can seriously injure themselves or bystanders. Only allow trained and properly supervised personnel to operate this item. Make sure safe operation instructions are clearly understood. If electrically powered, use padlocks and master switches, and remove start switch keys to prevent unauthorized use or accidental starting.

SAFETY

Model SB1110/SB1111

Entanglement: Loose clothing, gloves, neckties, jewelry or long hair may get caught in moving parts, causing entanglement, amputation, crushing, or strangulation. Reduce this risk by removing/securing these items so they cannot contact moving parts.

Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools: Tools used to adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/ rotating parts will become dangerous projectiles if left in place when the machine is started. Reduce this risk by developing the habit of always removing these tools immediately after using them.

Mental Alertness: Operating this item with reduced mental alertness increases the risk of accidental injury. Do not let a temporary influence or distraction lead to a permanent disability! Never operate when under the influence of drugs/alcohol, when tired, or otherwise distracted.
Safe Environment: Operating electrically powered equipment in a wet environment may result in electrocution; operating near highly flammable materials may result in a fire or explosion. Only operate this item in a dry location that is free from flammable materials.
Electrical Connection: With electically powered equipment, improper connections to the power source may result in electrocution or fire. Always adhere to all electrical requirements and applicable codes when connecting to the power source. Have all work inspected by a qualified electrician to minimize risk.
Disconnect Power: Adjusting or servicing electrically powered equipment while it is connected to the power source greatly increases the risk of injury from accidental startup. Always disconnect power BEFORE any service or adjustments, including changing blades or other tooling.

Work Area: Clutter and dark shadows increase the risks of accidental injury. Only operate this item in a clean, non-glaring, and welllighted work area.
Properly Functioning Equipment: Poorly maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning equipment has higher risks of causing serious personal injury compared to those that are properly maintained. To reduce this risk, always maintain this item to the highest standards and promptly repair/service a damaged or malfunctioning component.

SAFETY

Additional Table Saw Safety

For Machines Mfd. Since 8/21

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.

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, or under blade guard when blade is spinning.

Fence: To reduce risk of kickback, make sure fence remains properly adjusted and parallel with blade. Always lock fence before using. Do not use fence while using miter gauge. Make sure fence is not touching blade when saw is started.

Blade Guard: The blade guard protects operator 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 “nonthrough cuts.” Make sure it is aligned and positioned 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 incorrectly increases risk of kickback. Always allow blade to reach full speed before cutting, feed workpiece from front of saw, making sure workpiece 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 perform 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 accident, these will often take damage that would have occurred to hands/fingers.
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.

Cut-Off Pieces: To avoid risk of injury due to blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to completely stop before removing cut-off pieces near blade or trapped between blade and table insert. Only use push sticks to move cut-off pieces away from blade while saw is running. Never use your hands.
Blade Adjustments: Adjusting blade height or tilt during operation increases risk of crashing blade and sending metal fragments flying with deadly force at operator or bystanders. Only adjust blade height and tilt when blade is completely stopped and saw is OFF. Make sure blade is not touching guard, spreader, or workpiece when saw is started.
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 are “non-through” cuts and 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 manual.
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.

PrePvreevenntitnignKigckbKackickback
Here are several 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.

· 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 condition that prevented you from completing the cut before starting the saw again.

· 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 guide the workpiece.
· Make sure the spreader or riving knife is aligned with the blade and secured tightly. 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 performing 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 performing a non-through cut. Making a deep non-through cut will greatly increase the chance of kickback.

Protecting Yourself From Kickback
Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it may still happen. Here are some ways to protect yourself if kickback DOES occur:
· 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 or under blade guard. Should kickback occur, your hand could 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 your hand would have received.
· Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices to assist with feeding and prevent or slow down kickback.
Statistics show that most common accidents among table saw users can be linked to kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion 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 kickback.

Power Supply
Requirements
Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed.
To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with applicable electrical codes and safety standards.

Serious injury could occur if you connect the machine to power before completing the setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:
Nominal Voltage ………………. 220V, 230V, 240V Cycle …………………………………………………….60 Hz Phase ……………………………………….Single-Phase Circuit Rating………………………………… 20 Amps Plug/Receptacle (included) ………..NEMA 6-20

Electrocution or fire may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and attached to the power supply. Use a qualified electrician to ensure a safe power connection.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Rating at 220V ………………. 13 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the main breaker box or fuse panel in your building and the incoming power connections inside the machine. This circuit must be safely sized to handle the full-load current that may be drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Note: The circuit requirements in this manual are for a dedicated circuit–where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure the circuit is properly sized.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result–especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.

Grounding Requirements
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 in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (similar to the figure below). The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
GROUNDED 6-20 RECEPTACLE Current Carrying Prongs
6-20 PLUG
Grounding Prong Figure 5. NEMA 6-20 plug and receptacle.
No adapter should be used with plug. If plug does not fit available receptacle, or if machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of circuit, reconnection must be performed by an electrician or qualified service personnel, and it must comply with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with an electrician or qualified service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded.
If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use one, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle listed in the Circuit Requirements for the applicable voltage, and meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size……………………….12 AWG Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ….50 ft.

Cleaning & Protecting

The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. The benefit of this rust preventative is that it works very well. The downside is that it can be time-consuming to thoroughly remove.
Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning and removing the rust preventative. The time you spend doing this will reward you with smooth- sliding parts and a better appreciation for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.
Although there are many ways to successfully remove the rust preventative, the following process works well in most situations.
Before cleaning, gather the following: · Disposable rags · Cleaner/degreaser (certain citrus-based
degreasers work extremely well and they have non-toxic fumes) · Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or WD·40 can be used to remove rust preventative. Before using these products, though, test them on an inconspicuous area of a painted surface to make sure they will not damage it.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

GAS

points and can explode

or cause fire if used for

cleaning. Avoid using these

products to remove rust

preventative.

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.
Basic steps for removing rust preventative: 1. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative with a liberal amount of your cleaner or degreaser and let them soak for a few minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or it may scratch the surface.)
4. Repeat Steps 2­3 as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant or light oil to prevent rust.
T23692–Orange Power Degreaser A great product for removing the waxy shipping grease from the non-painted parts of the machine during clean up.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.

OOPERpATIeONration Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so they can more easily understand the controls discussed later in this manual.

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following: 1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Adjusts blade tilt, if necessary, to correct angle for desired cut.

Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide for performing actual machine operations. To learn more about specific operations and machining techniques, seek training from people experienced with this type of machine, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading “how-to” books, trade magazines, or websites.

3. Adjusts blade height no more than 1/4″ higher than thickness of workpiece.
4. Adjusts fence to desired width of cut, then locks it in place.
5. Checks outfeed side of machine for proper support and to make sure workpiece can safely pass all the way through blade without interference.

To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations.
If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any projects. Regardless of the content in this section, South Bend Tools will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.

6. Puts on safety glasses, respirator, and hearing protection, and locates push sticks/ blocks if needed.
7. Starts dust collection system, then starts saw.
8. Feeds workpiece all the way through blade while maintaining firm pressure on workpiece against table and fence, and keeping hands and fingers out of blade path and away from blade.
9. Stops machine immediately after cut is complete.

Workpiece Selection
Some workpieces are not safe to cut on this machine or may need to be modified before they can be safely cut. Before cutting, inspect 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 cementitious backer board creates extremely fine dust and may reduce the life of the motor bearings. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a table saw greatly increases the risk of injury and damage to the saw or blade.

Non-Through & Through Cuts
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 42 below.
Fence Saw Blade Workpiece

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 blade, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.
Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and may move unpredictably when being cut.

Figure 42. Example of a non-through cut.
Examples of non-through cuts include dadoes and rabbets. Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from kickback because the blade guard must be removed. However, the riving knife MUST be installed because it still provides some protection.
Through Cuts
A through cut is a sawing operation in which the workpiece is completely sawn through, as shown in Figure 43 below. Examples of through cuts are rip cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, and beveled cuts. The blade guard assembly MUST be used when performing through cuts.
Fence Saw Blade Workpiece

Minor Warping: Slightly cupped workpieces can be safely supported with cupped side facing the table or fence; however, workpieces supported on the bowed side will rock during the cut, which could cause kickback.

Figure 43. Example of a through cut.

Dado Blades
A dado set or dado blade is used to cut dadoes or grooves in a workpiece. There are two common kinds of dado blades: wobble blade and stacked dado set.
Wobble Dado Blade: A single blade mounted at a slight angle on an arbor hub. The blade angle is adjustable on the hub, and the width of the dado cut is controlled by the angle setting of the blade (see Figure 48).

Alternate Top Bevel and Flat

Blade Guard Assembly
The term “blade guard” refers to the assembly that consists of the clear polycarbonate shield and dust enclosure, the spreader, and the antikickback pawls on each side of the blade guard (see Figure 53). Each of these components have important safety functions during the operation of the saw.
Lock Knob
Spreader

In order to work properly, the spreader or riving knife cannot be bent or misaligned with the blade. If the spreader/riving knife gets accidentally bent, take the time to straighten it or replace it. Using a bent or misaligned spreader/riving knife will increase the risk of kickback! Refer to Page 74 to check or adjust alignment if necessary.
Spreader
The spreader/riving knife is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut kerf of the workpiece from pinching the backside of the blade and causing kickback.

Blade Guard

Anti-Kickback Pawls

The spreader also acts as a barrier behind the blade to shield hands from being pulled into the blade if a kickback occurs.

Figure 53. Blade guard assembly.
Blade 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, the guard must always be in the downward position against the table 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.

Installing Blade Guard & Spreader
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove table insert and raise blade all the way up.

3. Loosen clamping plate by turning clamping plate knob counter-clockwise (see Figure 54).

— 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 Spreader/Riving Knife Alignment on Page 73.
— If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the blade, it may be bent. Proceed to checking alignment on Page 74 to determine if the spreader/riving knife is bent.

Figure 55. Blade guard/spreader assembly installed.
IMPORTANT: The blade guard, when properly installed, should look like the example in Figure 55 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.

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 resting position after pivoting, as shown in Figure 57.

7. Check to make sure blade is 90° to table, then swing right side of guard up and out of the way.

8. While lifting up on right side spreader, place a straightedge against blade and spreader.
IMPORTANT: When properly aligned, the spreader/riving knife will be in the “Alignment Zone”, as illustrated in Figure 56, and will be parallel with the blade.

Removing Anti-Kickback Pawls
If you are concerned about the pawls scratching a delicate workpiece, or if you believe that they will obstruct a narrow workpiece and cause feeding difficulty or loss of control, you may remove the pawls. Use your best judgment before removing the pawls, as they are provided for your safety.
We do not recommend removing the pawls during normal operations unless absolutely necessary. In most situations, removing the pawls will increase your risk of serious personal injury in the event of kickback.

To install anti-kickback pawls: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Place front of pawl mounting bracket down into and to back of slot in top of spreader (see Figure 59).
3. While pressing release button, pivot pawl mounting bracket down into place, then release button (see Figure 59).

spreader (see Figure 60).
Blade Guard Slots Figure 60. Blade guard slots. 3. Pivot blade guard down onto the front slot then slide it back (see Figure 61).

When to Use the Blade Guard
The blade guard assembly MUST always be installed on the saw for all normal through-cut operations (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 for and nonthrough 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 then 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 judgement!
IMPORTANT: Whenever the blade guard cannot be used, the riving knife must be installed.

Riving Knife
The riving knife works in the same manner as the spreader on the blade guard assembly. It is a metal plate that prevents the newly cut workpiece from pinching the backside 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 62.

How to Install the Riving Knife
The riving knife is installed in the same manner as the spreader. Refer to Blade Guard Assembly on Page 39 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, and when using a tenoning jig), or when using a 10″ diameter dado blade.

Minimum 1mm Maximum 5mm

Height Difference

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.

Riving Knife
Figure 62. Height difference between riving knife and blade.
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 63. For that reason, we only recommend using a 10″ blade for operations that require use of the riving knife.
Top Distance Minimum 3mm Maximum 8mm

When Not to Use the Riving Knife
DO NOT use the riving knife with a dado blade that has a diameter smaller than 10″ in diameter. 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 with spreader instead of the riving knife for through cuts.
To ensure that riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to blade. Refer to Page 73 to check and adjust riving knife alignment.

4. Adjust table insert set screws with a 2.5mm hex wrench to make sure insert is flush with table (use a straightedge as a guide), then turn knob bolt to secure insert.
5. Center a board at least 2″ thick and equal to length of table over rear opening of insert, then secure it with clamps at both ends as shown in Figure 65. This will provide extra support for insert and reduce tear out when cutting.

Suggestion: To retain the zero clearance ability of the insert included with this saw, we recommend only raising the blade into the insert at 90° during the following step.
— If you need a zero clearance insert for compound cuts, install optional phenolic zero clearance table insert, Model T21879 (refer to Page 65) for each angled cut, then proceed to Step 7.
— If you plan to use a dado blade to cut rabbets or dadoes, install optional dado table insert, Model T21878 (see Page 65).
— If you do not require your insert to have a zero clearance fit, especially if you need to make a range of compound cuts, you can modify the insert included with this saw. Continue with Step 7, then route underside of the blade-cut slot to same width as rear opening (see Figure 64).
7. Connect saw to power. Keep hands off table top, do not stand directly behind blade path, and wear eye protection.
8. Turn the saw ON, then slowly raise blade to maximum height that will be used during normal operations.
9. Turn saw OFF, lower blade completely, then remove board and clamps.
10. Install blade guard (refer to Blade Guard Assembly on Page 39).

Rip Cutting
Rip cutting or “ripping” means cutting with the grain of a natural wood workpiece. In man-made materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping means cutting lengthwise.
Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed ejection of stock from the table saw toward the operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or operators hands can be pulled into blade during kickback.

8. Turn saw ON and allow blade to reach full speed.
Note: Jointed edge of workpiece must slide against fence during cutting operation.
9. Use push stick to feed workpiece through saw blade, as shown in Figure 67, until workpiece is completely beyond saw blade.

To make a rip cut: 1. Review Preventing Kickback on Page 15
and take necessary precautions to reduce likelihood of kickback.
2. If using natural wood, joint one long edge of workpiece on a jointer.
3. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
4. Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.
5. Set fence to desired width of cut on scale.
6. Adjust blade height so highest saw tooth protrudes no more than 1/4″ above workpiece.
7. Set up safety devices such as featherboards or other anti-kickback devices, making sure no safety devices are contacting blade.

Figure 67. Typical ripping operation.
Turn saw OFF and allow blade to come to a complete stop before removing cutoff piece. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe lacerations or amputation.

Keep the blade guard installed and in the down position. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

Crosscutting
“Crosscutting” means cutting across the grain of a natural wood workpiece, usually with a miter gauge. In other man-made materials, such as MDF or plywood, crosscutting means cutting across the width of the workpiece.
To make a crosscut using miter gauge: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.
3. To avoid kickback, move rip fence aside and position miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.
4. Adjust blade height so teeth protrude no more than 1/4″ above workpiece.
5. Slide miter gauge near blade and adjust workpiece so blade will cut on waste side of line.
6. Turn saw ON and allow blade to reach full speed.
7. Hold workpiece firmly against face of miter gauge (as shown in Figure 68), and ease it through blade until workpiece is completely past saw blade.

Miter Cuts
A miter cut refers to an angled cut on the face of the workpiece, typically made at 45° (to make a 90° corner), although a miter cut can be made at any angle. Each miter cut should equal 1/2 of the entire angle of the corner being made.
To perform a miter cut: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.
3. Determine angle of cut. If angle needs to be very precise, use a protractor to set miter gauge to blade.
4. Place face of miter gauge against edge of workpiece and place bar across face of workpiece. Use bar as a guide to mark your cut, as shown in Figure 69.

Figure 68. Typical crosscutting operation.
Turn saw OFF and allow blade to come to a complete stop before removing cutoff piece. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe lacerations or amputation.

Figure 69. Example of marking miter line.
5. Place miter gauge back into slot and hold workpiece firmly against miter gauge body. Slide miter gauge near blade and adjust workpiece so blade will cut on waste side of line.
6. Proceed to make cut in same manner as described in Crosscutting instructions.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the fence while using the miter gauge!

Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts
When the blade tilt collar bolts are properly adjusted (as described starting on Page 69), the blade tilt handwheel allows the operator to tilt the blade to the left, between 0° and 45°. This is used most often when cutting bevels, compound miters, or chamfers. Figure 70 shows an example of the blade when tilted to 45°.

This machine can accommodate dado blades up to 10″ in diameter. However, you MUST install the included riving knife while using a 10″ diameter dado blade, as it provides a barrier behind the blade and reduces the risk of hands being pulled into the blade if kickback occurs.
DO NOT use the riving knife if you install a dado blade smaller than 10″ in diameter. 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 and trying to turn the saw off with the workpiece stuck halfway through the cut.

To install a dado blade: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Figure 70. Example of blade tilted to 45° for bevel cutting.
Dado Cutting
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes are “non-through” cuts that can be made with a dado blade or a standard saw blade. Figure 71 shows a cutaway view of a dado cut being made with a dado blade.
Dado Blade

2. Remove table insert, blade guard assembly or riving knife, arbor nut, flange, and saw blade.
3. Attach and adjust dado blade system according to dado blade manufacturer’s instructions, and secure with included dado blade flange and arbor nut.
4. Install dado table insert.
DO NOT make through cuts with a dado blade. The extra width of a dado blade will increase the risk of kickback during a through cut. Dado blades are only intended for nonthrough cuts. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury.

Cutting Dadoes with a Dado
Blade
Because dado blades are much wider than standard blades, they place a greater amount of force against the workpiece when cutting. This additional force increases the risk of kickback, requiring the operator to take additional steps when cutting to keep their injury risk at an acceptable level.

Figure 72 demonstrates the sequential process of making multiple, light cuts that get progressively deeper. The actual number of cuts used should be determined by workpiece hardness, total dado depth, and feed rate. In general, if you hear the motor slow down during the cut, you are cutting too deep or feeding too fast. Slow down!

To cut a dado with a dado blade: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Adjust dado blade to desired depth of cut.
3. Adjust distance between fence and inside edge of blade, as shown in Figure 71 on Page 48, to dado length of a workpiece.
— If dadoing across workpiece, use miter gauge and carefully line up desired cut with dado blade. To reduce kickback, DO NOT use fence in combination with miter gauge.
4. Reconnect saw to power source.
5. Turn saw ON. Blade should run smoothly, with no vibrations.
6. When blade has reached full speed, perform test cut with scrap piece of wood.
7. If cut is satisfactory, repeat cut with actual workpiece.
Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut. To minimze your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve the desired cutting depth.

Figure 72. Dado cut sequence.
IMPORTANT: When making non-through cuts with a dado blade, do not attempt to cut the full depth in one pass. Instead, take multiple light passes to reduce the load on the blade.
A dado blade smaller than 10″ will require removal of the riving knife, because the riving knife will be higher than the blade.

Cutting Dadoes with a Standard
Blade
A ripping blade (described on Page 36) is typically the best blade to use when cutting dadoes with a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently.

6. Reconnect saw to power source and turn saw ON. Allow blade to reach full speed, then perform cutting operation.
7. Repeat cutting operation on other side of dado, as shown in Figure 74.

To cut a dado with a standard blade: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Mark width of dado cut on workpiece. Include marks on edge of workpiece so cut path can be aligned when workpiece is lying on table.
3. Raise blade up to desired depth of cut (depth of dado channel desired).
4. Set saw up for type of cut you need to make, depending on whether it is a rip cut (see Page 46) or crosscut (see Page 47).

Rabbet Cutting
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade.
Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece with a dado blade requires a sacrificial fence (see Figure 76). Make the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and 3/4″ thick. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps, making sure they are all secure and tight. Raise the blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed.

Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require that blade guard be removed from saw. ALWAYS replace blade guard after dadoing is complete.

A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently. (See Page 36 for blade details.) Also, a sacrificial fence is not required when cutting rabbets with a standard blade.

To cut rabbets with a standard blade: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Ensure that riving knife and standard table insert are installed.

3. Mark width of rabbet cut on edge of workpiece, so you can clearly identify intended cut while it is laying flat on saw table.
4. Raise blade up to desired depth of cut (depth of rabbet channel desired).
5. Stand workpiece on edge, as shown in Figure 78, then adjust fence so blade is aligned with inside of your rabbet channel.

Resawing
Resawing operations require following proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when resawing. Any tilting movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.
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: To determine the maximum resawing height for this table saw, find the maximum blade height, then double it and subtract 1/8″.

Making Resaw Barrier
When resawing, the resaw barrier acts in tandem with the rip fence to provide tall support for the workpiece. This reduces the probability of it binding against the blade and causing kickback.

Tools Needed:

Qty

Table Saw …………………………………………………….. 1

Jointer and Planer (Recommended)………………… 1

Clamps…………………………………………………………. 2

Drill……………………………………………………………… 1

Drill Bits 1/8″, 9/64″ ……………………………………1 Each

Note: Only use furniture-grade plywood, kilndried hardwood, or HDPE plastic to prevent warping.
To build a resaw barrier: 1. Cut your wood pieces to size specified
above. If you are using hardwood, cut pieces oversize, then joint and plane them to correct size to make sure they are square and flat.

2. Pre-drill and countersink four holes approximately 3/8″ from bottom of 51/2″ tall wood piece.
3. Glue end of 3″ board, clamp boards at a 90° angle with larger board in vertical position, as shown in Figure 80, then fasten together with wood screws.
