OPERATION
Plywood blades
• Smooth cutting in both rip and crosscut applications
• Good for thin wood as well as plywood
• Set-tooth type is more economical than hollowground type
tooth
• Not limited in cutting depth
Planer blades
• Generally are hollow ground
• Very smooth cuts in thin material
• Limited depth of cut due to hollow-ground construction

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and re-
move the switch key. Remove the plug from the
power source outlet before maintaining or lubricat-
ing your saw.
1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the saw
cabinet and the motor.
2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep it clean
and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.
3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
4. A worn, cut or damaged power cord should be replaced
immediately.
CAUTION
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted
only by a trained repair technician. Contact customer
service for assistance. Use only identical replacement
parts. Any other parts may create a hazard.
5. Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all
plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can damage plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of the following cleaning chemicals or solvents:
ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia.
BLADE ELEVATION/TILTING MECHANISM (FIG. 29)
After each five hours of operation, the blade elevation/tilting
mechanism should be checked for looseness, binding or oth-
er abnormalities. With the saw disconnected from the power
source, turn the saw upside down and alternately pull upward
and downward on the motor unit. Check for any movement
of the motor mounting mechanism. Looseness or play in the
blade raising screw (1) should be adjusted as follows:
1. Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen nut (2).
2. Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the bracket (4),
and then back off the nut (3) 1/6 of a turn.

• Not recommended for rip cuts
Carbide tipped blades
• Stay sharp much longer
• Available in all types listed above
• Carbide is brittle and must not be used on any material that
may contain nails, screws, etc.
3. Tighten nut (2) with a second 14 mm wrench, while holding
nut (3) with the first wrench in place. Maximum allowable play
of screw rod (1) is 0.16 in. (4 mm).
Place a small amount of dry lubricant on height regulating bolt
(1). NOTE: Do not use grease as a lubricant on these parts.
These parts must be kept clean and free of sawdust, gum,
pitch and other contaminants for smooth operation.
If excessive looseness is observed in any part of the blade
elevation/tilting mechanism, call customer service at number
on front of this manual.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory
and require no additional lubrication. On all mechanical parts
of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod is present,
lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will
not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.
