26. DO NOT loan your tool to a neighbor or friend without providing him/her with the Operator’s Manual. Be sure he/she learns the tool’s applications and possible hazards.

TAii-E SAW SAFiTY

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti-kickback pawls 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.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

3. ALWAYS USE a push stick, 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 push stick is included on page 28.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND, which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or

the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

A DANGER

FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF

KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS. NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE AND FENCE

SIMULTANEOUSLY.

12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.

13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release work before passing it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it along the fence. Do not attempt to reverse out of a cut with the blade running.

14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the saw blade.

15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.

16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY on page 10.

5. 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.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for

any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.

9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the

direction of rotation only.

10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW

BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor

damage.

17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may make hazardous dust.

18. ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.

19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop.

20. FOR PROPER OPERATION follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual entitled OPERATION (Page 17).

NOTE: On machines with no stand or if stand is not being used, a hole approximately 11 in. square must be cut under saw to allow sawdust to fall through. Failure to cut this hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area, resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage.

ELEGTRJCAL REQUiREMENTS AND SAF

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified 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 qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.

or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-lag fuse. NOTE: When using an extension cord on a circuit with a #14 wire, the extension cord must not exceed 25 feet in length. 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. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a twocontact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.

CAUTION In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

CAUTION This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

USE only three-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.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table on the right 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.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit

must not be less than #12 wire with a 20 A time-lag fuse

CAUTION This tool must be grounded while in use to protect

the operator from electric shock.

CUTTING OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting aiong the length and with the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece.

Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence and crosscutting requires the miter gauge. NEVER USE

A RIP FENCE AND MITER GAUGE AT THE SAME TIME.

3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece about 1 in. away from the blade.

4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up to speed.

5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade. To feed workpiece into blade, only push against the back of the workpiece on the part (1) that will pass between the blade and the fence. Use a push stick at all times. (Fig. X)

A WARNING

Before using the saw each and every time, check

the following:

1. Blade is tight on the arbor.

2. Bevel angle lock knob is tight.

3. if ripping, fence lock handle is tight and fence is

parallel to the blade.

4. Blade guard Is in place and working properly.

5. Safety glasses are being worn.

The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and others printed within this manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

RIPPING (FIG. X, Y)

A WARNING

To prevent serious injury:

• Never use the miter gauge when ripping.

• Never use more than one rip fence during a

single cut.

• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

• Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the blade.

• The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed.

A DANGER

workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.

Never attempt to pull the

A WARNING

AVOID KICKBACK: To avoid kickback, only push against the back of the workpiece on the part (1)

that will pass between the blade and the fence. Use

a push stick at all times.

Fig.X

6. Keep your thumbs off the blade top. When both of your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), finish the cut with a push stick. You can make a push stick using the pattern on page 28.

7. The push stick (3) should always be used for any ripping operation.

8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.

A DANGER

workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur. When the blade completely stops raise the anti-kickback pawls (4) on each side of

the splitter and slide the workpiece out.

Never attempt to pull the

1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the table or if using the extension fence, set the position and remove all other rip fences from the table.

2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece.

BEVEL RIPPING This cut is the same as a rip cut except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than “0”.

A WARNING

Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the biade.

A WARNING

Never attempt to puil the workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

A WARNING

Avoid injury from the biade contact. Never make through-saw cuts narrower than 3/4 in. wide.

1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.

2. When a small width is to be ripped, your hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, therefore, use one or more push sticks to pass the workpiece completely through and past the blade.

4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full speed. Never stand directly in line of the saw blade path, but always stand to the side of the blade that you are cutting on.

5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge (3) and flat against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece through the blade.

6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.

A WARNING

Always position the larger surface of the workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting to avoid instability.

CROSSCUTTING 90° MITER ANGLE (FIG. Z)

A WARNING

To prevent serious injury:

® Do not ailow familiarity or frequent use of your

table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

® Keep both hands away from the blade and the

path of the blade.

• Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.

1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge a

miter gauge groove on the table.

2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece.

3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the workpiece to one inch distance from the blade.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA) 0“~45° BLADE BEVEL & 90° MITER ANGLE

This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.

A WARNING

Always work to the right side of the blade during

this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right

side groove because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove.

1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

2. Tighten miter lock handle (2) at 90°.

3. Hold workpiece (3) firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.

Fig. AA

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB) 0°~45° BLADE BEVEL & 0°-45° MITER ANGLE

This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle.

A WARNING

Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right side groove because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove.

1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle.

2. Place the miter gauge in the right side groove of the table.

3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
