outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence
3
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/ or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR TABLE SAW
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the tool in until you have read and understood the following.
• ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD,
riving knife and anti-kickback pawls assembly for every through–sawing operation. Through–sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or crosscutting. Always be sure blade guard is tightened securely.
ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY
against the miter gauge or rip fence. Use rip fence for all rip cuts and miter gauge for all crosscuts. Never use the miter gauge and rip fence together
ALWAYS USE a push stick or push
block, especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this Operator’s Manual where the push stick is covered in detail.
• NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION
FREEHAND, which means can using
hands to support the workpiece, but always use either the fence OR the miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece.
Freehand cutting is
the major cause of kickback and
nger/hand amputations. Never
use the miter gauge and fence simultaneously.
• NEVER STAND or have any part of
your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the saw blade path.
NEVER REACH behind or over the
cutting tool for any reason.
REMOVE the rip fence when
crosscutting.
DO NOT USE a molding head with this

Use of this tool can
generate and/or disperse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always
use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
• Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eye glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/ CPA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBL Y, ANTI­KICKBACK ASSEMBL Y AND RIVING KNIFE
Your table saw is equipped with a blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife that covers the blade and reduces the possibility of accidental blade
contact. The riving knife is a at plate that ts into the cut made by the saw blade and effectively ghts kickback by lessening the
tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.
The blade guard assembly and anti­kickback assembly can only be used when making through cuts that sever the wood. When making rabbets and other cuts that make non through cuts, the blade guard assembly and anti­kickback assembly must be removed and riving knife lowered to the non through cut position marked on the riving knife. Two anti-kickback pawls are
located on the sides of the riving knife that allow the wood to pass through the blade in the cutting direction but reduce the possibility of the material being thrown backwards toward the operator.
For proper operation follow the instructions in this Instruction Manual entitled ASSEMBL Y AND ADJUSTMENTS (Page 15). Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust
to build up in the motor area resulting
in a re hazard and potential motor
damage.
USE ONLY saw blades recommended with the warning that the riving knife shall not be thicker than the width of the groove cut by the saw blade and not thinner than the body of the saw blade.
USE PUSH-STICK OR PUSH BLOCK to feed the workpiece past the saw blade. The push-stick or push block should always be stored with the machine when not in use.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with
dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical
hazards, re hazards, or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your table saw is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or re,
if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
WARNING
!
Use all components of the guarding system (blade guard assembly, riving knife and anti-kickback assembly) for every operation for which they can be used including all through cutting. If you elect not to use any of these components for a particular application exercise additional caution regarding control of the workpiece, the use of push sticks, the position of your hands relative to the blade, the use of safety glasses, the means to avoid kickback and all other warnings contained in this manual and on the saw itself. Replace the guarding
systems as soon as you return to thru­cutting operations. Keep the guard
assembly in working order.
KICKBACKS
KICKBACKS: Kickbacks can cause serious injury. A kickback occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade
and the rip fence, or other xed object, and
rises from the table and is thrown toward the operator. Kickbacks can be avoided by attention to the following conditions.
How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect Yourself from Possible Injury:
Be certain that the rip fence is parallel
to the saw blade.
Do not rip by applying the feed force
to the section of the workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece. Feed force when ripping should always be applied between the saw blade and the fence; use a push stick for narrow work, 6 in. (152 mm) wide or less.
Keep saw blade guard assembly, riving
knife and anti-kickback assembly in place and operating properly. If anti­kickback assembly is not operational, return your unit to the nearest authorized service center for repair. The riving knife must be in alignment with the saw blade and the anti­kickback pawls assembly must stop a kickback once it has started. Check their action before ripping by pushing the wood under the anti-kickback assembly. The teeth must prevent the wood from being pulled toward the front of the saw.
Plastic and composite (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may not stop a kickback.
Therefore, be especially attentive to
following proper set up and cutting procedures for ripping.
Use saw blade guard assembly, anti­kickback pawls assembly and riving knife for every operation for which it can be used, including all through­sawing.
Push the workpiece past the saw blade prior to release.
Never rip a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
Never saw a large workpiece that cannot be controlled.
Never use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting.
Never saw a workpiece with loose
knots, aws, nails or other foreign
objects.
Never rip a workpiece shorter than
10 in. (254 mm).
NEVER use a dull blade – replace or have resharpened.
NEVER use a rip fence and miter gauge together.
Keep hands out of saw blade.

This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Figure 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Figure 2) has a grounding lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualied
technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not t the receptacle,
have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualied electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or
service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than # 14 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is
