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,

harmless for any injury, which may result from that
use.

will perform better and more safely when working
at the rate for which it was designed.

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.
