CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
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, 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
filter 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.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE
GUARD, riving knife and anti-
kickback pawls assembly for every
through-sawing operation. Throughsawing operations are those in which
the blade cuts completely through
the workpiece when ripping or
crosscutting. Always be sure blade
guard is tightened securely.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE
FIRMLY against the miter gauge
or rip fence. Use rip fence for rip
cuts and miter gauge for crosscuts.
Never use miter gauge and rip fence
simultaneously.
3. 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. A pattern for making your own

TABLE SAW SAFETY
SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY,
ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY 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.
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 through-cutting 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:
a. Be certain that the rip fence is
parallel to the saw blade.
b. 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.
c. Keep saw blade guard assembly,
riving knife and anti-kickback
assembly in place and operating
properly. If anti-kickback assembly
is not operational, return your unit to
the nearest Sears or other qualied
service dealer for repair. The riving
knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade and the
10 11
anti-kickback pawls assembly must
stop a kickback once it has started.
Check their action before ripping by
pushing the wood under the antikickback assembly. The teeth must
prevent the wood from being pulled
toward the front of the saw.
d. Use saw blade guard assembly,
anti-kickback pawls assembly and
riving knife for every operation for
which it can be used, including all
through-sawing.
e. Push the workpiece past the saw
blade prior to release.
f. Never rip a workpiece that is
twisted or warped, or does not
have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.
g. Never saw a large workpiece that
cannot be controlled.
h. Never use the fence as a guide or
length stop when crosscutting.
i. Never saw a workpiece with loose
knots, aws, nails or other foreign
objects.
j. Never rip a workpiece shorter than
10 in. (254 mm).
k. NEVER use a dull blade – replace
or have resharpened.
l. NEVER use a rip fence and miter
gauge together.
m. Keep hands out of saw blade.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
!
To avoid electrical hazards, fire
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 fire,
if power cord is worn, cut, or
damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
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 qualied electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor wire
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 qualied 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
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,
12 13
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 qualied
technician before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
The adapter (Fig. 2) has a grounding
lug extending from it that MUST be
connected to a permanent earth
ground, such as a properly grounded
