SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS

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 crosscutting.

8. WHEN CUTTING MOULDINGS.
   Never run the stock between the fence and the moulding cutter- head. Refer to moulding applications in the accessory manual for details.

9. DIRECTION OF FEED.
   Feed work into the blade against the direction of rotation.

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 not 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 spinning blade.

A table insert (A) Fig.14 gets placed in the opening in the saw table and should be perfectly flush with the surface of the saw table. To adjust the table insert, place a straight edge over the table insert and the table. Turn the 4 adjusting set screws (B) in the insert, turn them in or out until all 4 corners of the insert are flush with the table top.

ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD/RIVING KNIFE
WARNING! NEVER OPERATE SAW WITHOUT BLADE GUARD OR RIVING KNIFE IN THE PROPER OPERATING POSITION. FALIURE TO DO THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY!
Through-cut operations- For all through-cut operations, the blade guard with splitter (A) Fig.15 must be installed.
Install the blade guard splitter (A) Fig.15 in between the mounting plates below the table insert. Push blade guard splitter all the way down, then pull the locking pin wheel (B) away from the blade, push blade guard splitter further down in between the mounting plates until the locking pin engages the splitter. Give the splitter an upward tug to make sure that it is properly locked. The clearance between the blade and the splitter should be between 1/8” to 5/16” (3-8mm).

ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD/RIVING KNIFE
Non through-cut operations- For non through-cut operations with a 10” blade, the riving knife (A) Fig.16 must be installed. The riving knife gets installed the same way as the blade guard splitter, see Through-cut operations instructions. For safety reasons, the highest point of the riving knife (A) Fig.16 should never exceed the highest point of the blade teeth, generally 1/8” to 3/16” (1-5mm). See adjustments for more information.

WARNING!
SOME CUTTING OPERATIONS (DADO BLADE, MOLDING CUTTERHEAD) WON’T ALLOW USE OF THE BLADE GUARD OR RIVING KNIFE. USE EXTREME CAUTION DURING THESE OPERATIONS AS THE BLADE OR CUTTERHEAD WILL BE EXPOSED AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

POSITIONING AND ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge shown in Fig.17 normally gets positioned on the left side of the blade by sliding the miter gauge bar (A) into the table T-slot. To operate the miter gauge, loosen lock knob (B) Fig.17, pull out the positive stop pin (C) and pivot the miter gauge body (D) to the desired angle, retighten lock knob (B).
If you desire a preset positive stop such as 00 or 450 setting, loosen lock knob (B) Fig.17, pull out the positive stop pin (C) and slightly pivot the miter gauge body (D). Once you get close to the desired angle, push and hold the positive stop pin, continue to rotate the miter gauge body to the desired angle, the positive stop pin will engage that positive stop position, then retighten lock knob (B).

BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
To raise or lower the blade, loosen lock knob (A) Fig.18. and turn the raising handwheel (B). When desired height is obtained, retighten lock knob. The blade should be raised 1/8” to 1/4” above the top 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) and turn tilting handwheel (D). When desired angle is obtained, retighten lock knob.

ADJUSTING RIP FENCE
The rip fence must be perfectly aligned with the table T-slot, to verify this, align the edge of the rip fence with the table T-slot and lower the locking lever (A) Fig. 19 to lock in into place. Check to see if the edge of the rip fence and the table T-slot are parallel. If they are not parallel, unlock the rip fence and turn it upside down. Adjust the set screws (A) Fig.20 in or out, verify your adjustment, repeat if necessary.
The lock lever pressure can be adjusted by loosening the front lock nuts (B) Fig.19 and adjusting the set screws (C) the same amount, make sure the fence remains parallel with the table T-slot. Retighten lock nuts. To set the fence perpendicular to the table, place a square on the table and against the side of the fence, loosen the top lock nuts (D) and adjust the set screws (E) until the fence is perpendicular. Retighten lock nuts. The pointer window (F) Fig.19 position can be adjusted if needed, loosen pan head screws (G), reposition the pointer window and retighten pan head screws.

ADJUSTMENTS

ALIGNING TABLE T-SLOT PARALLEL WITH BLADE
The table T-slot must be aligned parallel with the blade. Using a combination square (A) Fig.21, measure the distance from the back edge of the blade to the table T-slot. Pivot blade forward 180º and remeasure the distance using the exact same point on the blade. The difference between both measurements must be equal to or less than 1/64”.
If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the four cap screws (A) Fig.22 which fix the table top to the cabinet, make the needed adjustment to the table top position until both measurements are equal or less than 1/64” and retighten the four cap screws (A).

ALIGNING BLADE GUARD SPLITTER OR RIVING KNIFE WITH BLADE
The blade guard splitter and/or riving knife must be aligned with the blade. If not properly aligned, the splitter/riving knife will force the workpiece sideways during the cut, increasing risk of kickback.
Place a straightedge against the blade and the splitter or riving knife and check for parallelism. If an adjustment is needed, the mounting position of the riving knife support plate (A) Fig.23 can be adjusted into alignment with the blade.

1. Disconect saw from power source.
2. Remove the table insert.
3. Loosen the 2 cap screws (B) Fig.23 and adjust the position of the riving knife support plate (A) until the alignement is perfectly parallel.
4. Reinstall the table insert.

For safety reasons, the highest point of the riving knife (A) Fig.24 should never exceed the highest point of the blade teeth, generally 1/8” to 3/16” (1-5mm).

ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION

ADJUSTING 45 AND 90 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS
The blade tilting mechanism of your saw is equipped with a positive stop at 45 and 90 degrees. To check and adjust these positive stops, proceed as follows:

1. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
2. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by turning the blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise as far as it will go.
3. Place a square on the table and check to see if the blade is at a perfect 90 degree angle to the table.
4. If the blade is not at 90 degrees, adjust the 90 degree adjustment cap screw (A) Fig. 25 in or out. The cap screw should stop against the front trunnion bracket when the blade is at 90 degrees to the table. Recheck and adjust further if necessary.
5. If the 45 degree postive stop is not set properly, turn the same handwheel clock- wise as far as it will go and follow the same procedure by using the 45 degree adjustment cap screw (B) Fig. 25 in or out. The cap screw should stop against the front trunnion bracket when the blade is at 45 degrees to the table. Recheck and adjust further if necessary.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
The operation of power tools involves a certain amount of hazard for the operator. Before attempting regular work we recommend you get the feel of operations using scrap lumber to check settings. Read entire instructions before you start to cut workpiece. Always pay attention to safety precautions to avoid personal injury.

OPERATION
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 operation and 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, personal injury to the operator can develop. It is good practice to make trial cuts using scrap material when setting up you 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 miter gauge and work toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig.26. The miter gauge may be used in either table slot, however, most operators prefer the left groove for average work. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does not cause interference of your hand or miter gauge with the saw blade guard.

Start the cut slowly and hold the 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 crosscutting 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-off gauge when crosscutting. Never use the miter gauge in combination with the rip fence.

OPERATION

RIPPING
Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board, as shown in Fig.27, and the rip fence is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rest 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.
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.27. The work can then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands.

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.

USING DADO BLADE SET (OPTIONAL) AND DADO INSERT
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside blades and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig. 28. Various combination of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8” to 13/16” for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, ect. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullet of the outside blades, as shown in Fig. 29. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig.29 (A) being the outside blade, (B) and inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer which can be used as needed to control the exact width of groove. A 1/4” groove is cut by using the two outside blades. The teeth of the blades should be positioned so that the raker on one saw is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.

The dado head set is assembled to the saw arbor in the same manner as the saw blade. The guard splitter and anti-kickback finger assembly can not be used when dadoing operations and must be removed from the saw. The included dado head table insert must be used in place of the standard table insert.
NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION UNLESS YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DADO INSERT!
ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETE!

PUSH STICK CONSTRUCTION
A push stick is not supplied with this table saw and should be used whenever possible. Fig.30 shows an illustration of how to make one yourself. It is recommended to use a good quality plywood or solid wood, 1/2” and 3/4” thick.

MAINTENANCE & OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

This table saw requires very little maintenance other than minor lubrication and cleaning. The following sections detail what will need to be done in order to assure continued operation of your saw.

LUBRICATION
The table saw has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing and the arbor assembly, they will not require any additional lubrication. Use a wire brush to clean off the worm gears and trunnions and apply a white lithium grease to keep them lubricated.

CLEANING
Keep the inside of the cabinet clear of saw dust and wood chips. With the table saw unplugged, open the motor access door. Vacuum out the inside of the cabinet or blow out the inside with an air hose.

CHANGING BELTS
MAKE SURE THE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
To remove the V-belt, first lower the blade to its lowest point. Loosen the large cap screw (A) Fig.31 and then take the tension off of the V-belt by lifting up on the motor. Remove the V-belt (B) from the arbor shaft and the motor pulley and replace it with a new one. Lower the motor, the weight of the motor should apply enough tension and retighten large cap screw (A). Check the V-belt tension after the saw has been used for a few hours. Adjust as necessary.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

These optional accessories are designed to fit table saw model KC-10JCS and also fit most table saws having a 27” deep table.
