General Safety • Wear your safety glasses at all times • Take off all jewelry • Do not wear loose clothing • Make sure you are the only person in the safety zone when operating the table saw.
General Safety continued • Do the entire operation yourself • Never pass your hands over the blade to remove scrap material • Never pass your hands over the blade • Always have one hand or the push-stick on the material • Never back out of a cut • The guard must be in place at all times
Components of the Table Saw • Arbor • Miter Gauge • Fence • Support Arm • Guard • Splitter
Components of the Table Saw • Push Sticks • Front Hand Wheel • Side Hand Wheel
Set-up of the Table Saw • One face and one edge must be flat to use the table saw. • The blade must be 1/8” to 1/4” above the material being cut. OR • One Tooth • Do not lower the support arm or raise the guard unless you have special permission from the teacher and are being monitored by the teacher.
Operations of the Table Saw • Ripping • Cross cutting • Bevel • Miter • Groove • Dado • Rabbet
Ripping • Ripping is defined as cutting along the material’s length OR • Cutting with the grain
Cross cutting • Cross cutting is defined as cutting the material’s length OR • Cutting across the grain
Bevel • A Bevel is defined as cutting along the material’s length at an angle. OR • Cutting with the grain at an angle
Miter • A miter is defined as cutting the material’s length at an angle OR • Cutting across the grain at an angle
Groove • A Groove is defined as cutting a “slot” along the material’s length but not through the full thickness of the material OR • Cutting a “slot” with the grain but not through the full thickness of the material
Dado • A Dado is defined as cutting a “slot” across the material’s width but not through the full thickness of the material OR • Cutting a “slot” across the grain but not through the full thickness of the material
Rabbet • A Rabbet is defined as cutting a square edge or end acrossor with the grain but not through the full thickness of the material.
Operation Procedure 1 (Ripping) • 1. Raise the Splitter.
Operation Procedure 2 (Ripping) • 2. Raise the blade to its maximum height. • Using a try-square, square the blade to the table.
Operation Procedure 3 (Ripping) • 3. Adjust the blade height. One tooth above the material.
Operation Procedure 4 (Ripping) • 4. Determine the width of your material that will be cut and set the fence. • If the material is 5” in width or less, push sticks are required. • The material you are going to be using always goes between the fence and the blade.
Operation Procedure 5 (Ripping) • 5. Lower the guard. • Keep the material tight against the fence. • Be sure the material is not in contact with the blade when the machine is turned on. • Stand to the left of the blade path.
Operation Procedure 6 (Ripping) • 6. Turn the machine on. • Slide the material against the fence and through the blade. • Push the material all the way off the table.
Ripping operation. Material more than 5” in width. No push sticks required.
Ripping operation. Material less than 5” in width. Push sticks required.
Operation Procedure 1 (Cross cutting) • 1. Slide the splitter down
Operation Procedure 2 (Cross cutting) • 2. Set the miter gauge in the left groove on the table.
Operation Procedure 3 (Cross cutting) • Raise the blade to it’s maximum height. • Using a try-square, square the miter gauge.
