RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as poten­tial hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from improper use of its equipment.
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medica­ tion that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the saw is in operation; do not permit them to operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsu­ pervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided atten­ tion. Even a momentary distraction can lead to seri­ ous injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck­ laces or other jewelry while the saw is in operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wren ches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all mo­ ving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and in proper cutting direction before operation.
11. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
13. If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stop­ ping the table saw.
14. Do not push or force stock into the blade. The saw will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed.
15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not have a flat surface. Always hold stock firmly against the fence when ripping, or against the miter gauge when cross-cutting.
16. To minimize risk of injury in the event of workpiece kickback, never stand directly in-line with the blade or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.
18. Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly reattached before using the tool again.
19. Never leave the machine running with the power on when not in operation.
20. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by ment malfunction or risk of injury.
21. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the blade is unin­ tentionally contacted.
22. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or changing accessories such as blades, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjust­ ments, or if the machine will be left unattended.
23. Make sure that switch is in «OFF» position before plugging in the power cord.
24. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equip­ ped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
25. Do not use this saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, disclaims any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that use.
26. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
27. Always use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eye glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
28. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
29. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will oper­ ate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment 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.
30. Direction of feed. Feed work into blade against the direction of rotation of the blade.
GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL
GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL
may result in equip-
17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance posi­ tions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both feet on floor. Never lean over or reach over the blade and never pull the work piece over the blade from behind. Use out feed support or have an assis­ tant help when ripping long material.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE­SPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A
C
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro­vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con­ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces­sary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only three prong grounding plugs and receptacles that accept that type of plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only if a properly grounded outlet has been installed by a qualified electrician - this adapter is not permit­ted in Canada.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch D. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of han­dling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified tech­nician or our service department.
CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 220V
Note: When converting motor voltage on a machine that is equipped with a magnetic switch, the switch contactor must also be changed out for one made for the appropriate voltage, as well as the thermal relay/circuit breaker and “power in” indicator light (if applicable). Failure to make these necessary modifications to the switch will lead to malfunction and permanent switch failure.
Should you need to convert your machine’s motor from 110V to 220V power, there is an electrical schematic drawing on the inside of the motor cover plate. Unless you are a qualified electrician, we do not recommend attempting this conversion on your own. If you choose to do so, you may risk serious per­sonal injury, damage to the motor and voiding the warranty of your machine.
We suggest you ask your local General International distributor to recommend qualified electricians in your area (or perhaps one of their own technicians) who can make this conversion properly and safely.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged exten­sion cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.
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 will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
THIS MODEL IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE.
TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY
EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 233 LBS (106 KG) FOR 50-090RK & 217 LBS (98.5 KG) FOR 50-090RC.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight of the saw and the ope-ra­tor.
Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other tools or ma-chinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple oper­ators, it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined “no­go” zone on the floor around each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for every­one but the individual operating the unit.

CLEAN UP
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it by rubbing with a rag dipped in ker­osene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommen­dations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface, may also be used to scrape off the coating followed by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces, as many sol­vent-based products will remove paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or use regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slots to remove the grease.
