W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife
SET UP
Floor Load: This machine distributes a heavy load
in a small footprint. Some residential floors may
require additional bracing to support both machine
and operator.
Working Clearances: Consider existing and antici
-
pated needs, size of material to be processed
through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands,
work tables or other machinery when establishing a
location for your
table saw (see Figure 1 for mini-
mum working clearances).
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to elimi
-
nate shadow and prevent eye strain.
Electrical: Electrical circuits must be dedicated or
large enough to handle amperage requirements.
Outlets must be located near each machine, so
power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper instal
-
lation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your table saw are
coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corro
-
sion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if
you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you
will ruin the finish.
Machine Placement
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to clean
machinery. Many solvents
are toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Use care when
disposing of waste rags
and towels to be sure
they DO NOT create fire
or environmental hazards.
NEVER use gasoline or
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your table saw
.
MAKE your shop “child safe.”
Ensure that your workplace
is inaccessible to youngsters
by closing and locking all
entrances when you are
away. NEVER allow untrained
visitors in your shop when
assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.
