RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applicationsand 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.
5. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does
. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or
1
under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication 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 unsupervised use.
1
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.
17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. 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 assistant help when ripping long material.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious 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, necklaces 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 wrenches, 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 moving 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 stopping the table saw.
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
GENERAL INTERNATIONAL
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 unintentionally contacted.
22. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing
or changing accessories such as blades, or before
performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjustments, 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 equipped 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,

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE-
PONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN
S
NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUAL-
FIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
I
HIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
T
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A
B
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The
motor of this machine is wired for 110V single phase
operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug A to fit a grounded
type receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong
(grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall
socket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C,
it must be attached to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician before
proceeding.
C
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 3prong 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.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated
only on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able
to suppor t the weight of the saw and the operator.
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 machinery.

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 solventbased 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 Tslots to remove the grease.

2. Install a saw blade (not supplied with the saw) so
that the openings between the teeth face the front of
the saw
3. Replace the flange and arbor nut. Wedge a board
between the saw teeth at the back of the saw, B, so
the blade won’t turn as you tighten the nut clockwise
with the arbor wrench.
Remove a saw blade: wedge a block of wood between
the teeth in front of the saw and turn the arbor wrench
toward you, or counter-clockwise.
NOTE: This saw is intended for use with 10" (250mm) diameter or less
aw blades having a center hole diameter of 5/8". There are many
s
types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as
rosscuts or ripping only, or for use with plywood, panelling and
c
other products. A good quality specialty blade can produce a finer
inish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only
f
saw blades designed for use at a maximum operating speed of 6000
RPM or less. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store
aw blades by stacking them directly in contact with each other.

OSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
P
LIGN THE RIP FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE
A
To make satisfactory rip cuts, your fence must be aligned
erfectly parallel with the saw blade.
p
1. Slide the fence over to the right T-slot on your saw tale top A. Lock down the fence handle B and make a
b
visual check that the fence is parallel with the T-slot all
along its length.
Also, you can place a small 3/4” thick block of wood,
upright into the T-slot and slide it from the front to the
back checking its distance from the left edge of the
fence.
2. If the fence is not parallel, it can be adjusted by using
an Allen key to turn one or both of the screws C or
D. Do this slowly, just an eighth to a quarter turn at a
time, or you will quickly overshoot the desired adjustment.
Note: It is always good practice to periodically recheck
the alignment of your fence to the blade.
A

D
ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PERPENDICULAR (90°) TO THE TABLE
Place a machinist square on the table against the fence
and look for a gap between the square and the fence
(bottom and top) or the table. If needed, adjust either of
the two plastic set screws E, to tilt the fence slightly and
square it to the table.
LEVEL THE FENCE
The fence should be parallel to the table and sit approximately 2 mm above the table’s surface (so the fence will
not scratch the table and a thin work piece will not get
stuck or jammed under the fence).
To level and adjust the height of the fence:
1. Loosen the hex nut F on the leveling foot G located un-
der the rear end of the fence.
2. Raise or lower the leveling foot until there is a spacing
of 2 mm (approx.) between the bottom of the fence
and the table, then tighten the hex nut to lock the setting of the leveling foot.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.
• Make sure that the arbor nut is secure and that the blade is firmly tightened snug on the arbor.
• Check that the blade angle and height lock knobs are tight.
• If ripping, make sure the fence lock lever is engaged and that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If cross cutting, make sure the miter gauge is locked tight.
• While using the saw, be sure to wear safety glasses at all times.
• Make sure that the blade guard/splitter assembly or riving knife is properly installed and aligned with the
blade, and that the anti-kickback pawls are functioning.
RIPPING
Cutting a wood plank or sheet of plywood lengthwise to
reduce its width is called “ripping.” To rip stock, hold the
work with both hands pushing it into the blade as well as
firmly against the rip fence so that it is cut straight.
• The work to be cut must have a straight edge to ride
the fence and must be flat to make solid contact with
the table during the cut in order to avoid “kickback”
(a blade jam causing the wood to fly backwards
and hit you).
• Never rip or cut wood without using the fence or miter
gauge to guide it because the stock could kickback.
• Always use the blade guard and splitter assembly
when cutting wood. It has anti-kickback fingers and
a splitter to prevent the saw “kerf” (the slit cut by the
blade) from closing and binding the blade, which
can overload and/or stall the motor. The blade
guard keeps your fingers away from the blade and
also reduces the amount of sawdust flying free.
• Although certain operations require the removal of
the blade guard and splitter assembly, it should always be replaced for regular cutting.
• Never stand in the line of the blade when ripping.
• Raise the saw blade only about 1/4” higher than the work to be cut.
20
As you complete the rip, the wood will either remain on
the table, tilt up to be caught on the end of the guard, or
fall onto the floor (or outfeed table). The waste part of the
stock remains on the table to be removed only after the
saw is stopped (unless it is large enough for immediate
afe removal).
s
If the work to be ripped is narrow, it is safer to use a push
tick, rather than hands, to feed it into the blade. Push
s
sticks with non-slip grippers can be purchased, but a
shop-made one, A, works just as well.
When ripping extremely narrow stock that may not clear
the width of the blade guard, or very thin material such as
paneling, which may slip between the underside of the
fence and the table surface, a strip of wood as an auxiliary guide can be attached to the fence.
A
BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping is performed the same as ripping but with the saw blade set to an angle not perpendicular with the
table surface. After changing the bevel angle verify the alignment of the guard and splitter; make sure there is
clearance with the saw blade.
VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.
RIPPINGSMALL WORK PIECES
Do not attempt rip cuts if the work piece is too small, as this will oblige you to place your hands too close to the
blade and put you at serious risk of injury. When ripping narrower widths, use a push block or a push stick in order
to avoid placing hands near the blade.
CROSS CUTTING
B
Cutting against the grain, to shorten the length of a board
is crosscutting. With some smaller-sized and rectangular
pieces, you often have the choice of ripping or crosscutting. Always use the miter gauge, B, when crosscutting;
never cut a piece unsupported. The miter gauge may be
used in either slot, but most operators prefer the left
groove for typical work. When the blade is tilted for bevel
cutting, use the table slot that does not cause interference
with your hand or the saw blade guard.
To begin crosscutting, place the work on the miter gauge
and, with the motor OFF, slide it up close to the blade to
align the outer edges of the teeth with your cut mark, C.
Keep a firm grip as you pull the miter gauge and the
wood back away from the blade. Lower the blade guard,
turn on the saw and make the cut. When the work is cut
through, move one or both cut pieces—if long enough to
handle without danger—immediately off to the side,
away from the turning blade. Turn off the motor.
C
ALIGN-A-CUT
The yellow plastic “align-a-cut” table insert allows the user
to make a reference mark on the insert for repetitive nonprecision cross cuts.
21
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING
This procedure is the same as cross cutting except that
the blade is set to an angle other than 0. After changing
the bevel angle, verify the alignment of the guard and
splitter and verify that there is clea-rance with the saw
blade.
ADJUSTING AND USING THE MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge supplied with your saw has accurately
adjusted index stops at 90° and 45° to the right and left,
with a 30° maximum.
To use a setting other than 90°, loosen the lock knob, A, by
turning it counter-clockwise, pull the stop-lock pin, B, rotate the miter head to 45°, or any angle shown on the
numerical guide. Turn the lock knob clockwise to tighten
it.
To check the accuracy of the miter gauge’s factory
settings, set it at 90° and check it with an L-square or Tsquare. To verify the setting, make a test cut in scrap stock
and then use a square to check the cut piece. Repeat
adjustment if necessary.
If the miter gauge needs adjusting, manually turn the
head so the pointer is where you think it ought to be, tighten the lock knob and loosen the nut, as shown at C. Turn
the adjusting screw until it touches the stop-lock pin.
Tighten down the nut again. Recheck the angle by making another test cut. Repeat, if necessary, until a true 90° is
achieved.
A
B
ADDING AN AUXILIARY FENCE TO THE MITER GAUGE
To ensure a true 90° crosscut, especially with longer
pieces of wood that need more support than the narrow
miter gauge head can provide, an auxiliary wood fence
can be attached.
Make sure the wood for the fence is straight, not bowed.
It should be about 2 inches wide and extend about
12 inches from either side of the miter head. Drill 2 holes
in the wood corresponding to those on the miter head
and use bolts and nuts to secure the wood fence to the
head, D.
To use the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence, first notch
the fence with the saw blade a bit higher than the workpiece, E. Measure and draw a cutline on your wood, F.
then place it on the miter fence. Position your cutline against the notch. Turn on the saw, slide the work up until it is
cut through (but don’t cut off the fence).

arking Wood. If you measure a cut for 24 inches, line up the blade on the waste side of the mark. Don’t cut
M
through the middle of the measurement line or you’ll reduce your desired board length by half the width of the saw
blade! For accurate work, don’t mark your cut with a fat pencil line, G. A narrow dash, with a sharp pencil point is
best, H. Encircle the dash so you’ll find it again and add a small X to indicate the waste or cut-off side. Pencils, like
saw blades, have thickness. When squaring off from the cut mark, align your square to allow for pencil clearance,
which will be about 1/16” away from the drawing edge of the square, I.
I
HG
MITER CUTS
This operation is the same as cross cutting, except the miter gauge is set to an angle other than 0. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work piece slowly into the blade to prevent it from moving
during the cut.
COMPOUND MITERING
This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and mitering. It is infrequently used. Follow instructions for both bevel
cutting and mitering.
USING A DADO HEAD BLADE
Dadoing is cutting a “rabbet” or a wide groove into the work. A
dado blade, A, (not supplied with your saw) usually consists of two
outer blades and several interior cutters. These can be adjusted to
cut grooves from 1/8” to 13/16” for making shelves, joints and tenoning. Set the blade’s width according to the instructions.
After adjusting its width, mount the dado blade on your saw just like
a regular blade. You’ll need an optional dado insert, B (#50-230R)
to replace the standard one that comes with your saw. Use the
fence to line up the cut. The blade guard/splitter must be removed
when dadoing. Never use the dado blade in a bevel position.
ALWAYS VERIFY THE DADO BLADE CLEARANCE BEFORE CONNECTING THE SAW TO THE POWER SOURCE.
REATTACH THE GUARD AND ADJUST AFTER DADO CUT IS FINISHED. THE MAXIMUM DADO HEAD WIDTH FOR
THIS SAW IS 13/16” AND THE MAXIMUM DADO BLADE DIAMETER IS 8”.
