To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection.

Your table saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a I20V, 15 AMP branch circuit and use a 15

AMP time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or

fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or

damaged in any way.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE TABLE SAW

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your table saw.

12.

WEARYOUR ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION. Any table

saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes which

could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear

Safety Goggles (not glasses)

that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.

To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the table saw in until you have read and understood the

following:

READ and become familiar with this entire instruction

manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations, and possible hazards.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and

adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

DON'T USE iN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety

GoggJes are available at Sears. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

13.

WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK, Sawing operation produces dust.

!4.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical, tt's safer than using your hand and it

frees both hands to operate too!.

15.

DISCONNECTTOOLS before servicing, and when

changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16.

REDUCE THE RISK OF UNtNTENTmONALSTARTING. Make sure the switch is in OFF position before

plugging in.

expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

17_

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at

a safe distance from the work area.

MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. Itwill do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or the attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

10.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD, Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to

carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord wil! cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating. The table on page 7 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.

11.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose

clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other

jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.

Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the

owner's manual for the recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of

injury to persons.

t8.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or ifthe cutting tool is unintentionally

contacted.

19.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of

the toot, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions

that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.

TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

DON'T OVERREACH, Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp

and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating aqd changing accessories.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

23. DIRECTmON OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

24. WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can

be injurious to your heal[h. Always operate saw in welt

ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal.

SPEC RC SAFETY mNSTRUCTmONS FOR THE TABLE SAW

, ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD spreader and

anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which

they can be used, including through-sawing.

Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece

when ripping or cross-cutting.

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

. USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a

push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in the instruction manual where the

push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick pattern included in this Owner's Manual.

NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION

"FREE HAND", 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.

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 line of the saw blade.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool

for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross-cutting.

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

9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only.

I0. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge when

cross-cutting.

11. NEVER ATTEMPTTO FREE A STALLED SAW

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

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

13.

AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, keeping the rip fence parallel to the saw blade, and by keeping the spreader,

anti-kickback pawls, and guard in place and functioning. Do not release work before it is

pushed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped, or does not have a

straight edge to guide along the fence. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions

14. where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move

into the cutting tool.

!5.

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 before performing any cutting operations. Refer to installation instructions.

17.

NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.

ALWAYS USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

18. Remove saw dust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.

19,

NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL running unattended. Don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20.

For proper operation follow the instructions of this

owner's manual titled *'SAW MOUNTED TO WORK SURFACES." Failure to provide sawdust fall4hrough

and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the

motor area, which may result in a fire hazard or cause motor damage.

ELECTRmCAL REQUIREMENTS

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPEC_F]CATaONS

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrica! circuit for your tools.Your saw is wired at the factory for t20V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15

Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire,

if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
