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
ay result from improper use of its equipment.
m
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or
nder the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medica-
u
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 unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided atten-
tion. 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, 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 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 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.
15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does
ot have a flat surface. Always hold stock firmly
n
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 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 assistant help when ripping long material.
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 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,

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
ITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
W
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
EFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
B
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 115V
hould you need to convert your machine’s motor from
S
C
A
B
230V to 115V 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of this machine is wired for 230V single
phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord A and a 3-prong grounded plug B to fit a matching grounding type receptacle C.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED ! If it will not fit your recepta-
cle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completely understand these grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
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.
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.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
This saw has been designed for cutting solid wood as well as manufactured wood materials such as plywood,wood
panelling, particleboard, mdf and other wood based by-products. This saw is not designed for cutting metals nor
for cutting any materials other than wood or wood based stock.
This saw is designed for use with maximum 10" (250mm) diameter blades having a center hole diameter of 5/8".
The blade can be raised to cut a maximum stock thickness of 3" with the blade set 90 degrees to the table. The
blade can be tilted up to 45 degrees to the left for bevel cuts to a maximum stock thickness of 2 1/4". Using any
standard aftermarket 8" diameter stacked dado blade set (not included), the maximum dado cutting capacity of
this saw is 13/16" (21 mm). Note: for safer dado cutting, an optional dado table insert (part number #50-202) can
e purchased through your General International distributor.
b
The 50-200R is supplied with both a riving style splitter/blade guard assembly and a European style riving knife that
are both designed to raise or lower and tilt with the blade, and maintain a consistent distance to the blade at all
imes, regardless of the height or angle of the blade. This can help reduce (but not totally eliminate) the risk of a
t
kickback incident, where the workpiece is thrown back at the operator, by helping to prevent the workpiece from
getting stuck between the blade and the riving style splitter or riving knife (as compared to a traditional stationary
splitter) or from closing up on the back of the blade as it passes through the cut.
UNPACKING
Carefully unpack and remove the saw and its components from the box and check for damaged or missing
items as per the list of contents below.
NOTE: Please report any damaged or missing items to your
General® International distributor immediately.

T
HOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE.
S
O LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE
T
HOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 303 LBS (138KG).
S
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 (320 Lbs - 146
kg) 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 “no-go” 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.

This saw is intended for use with 10" (250mm) diameter or less saw blades having a center hole diameter of
5/8". There are many types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as crosscuts or ripping
only, or for use with plywood, panelling and other products. A good quality specialty blade can produce a
finer finish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only saw blades designed for use at a maximum operating speed of 5000 RPM or less. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store saw
blades by stacking them directly in contact with each other. Place a layer of cardboard or similar material
between the blades to keep them from coming into contact with each other.

2. Install a saw blade on the arbor so that the openings between the teeth face the front of the saw
D (the blade spins in the counter-clockwise direction).
LOOSEN
To remove a saw blade
Perform the same procedure turning the arbor nut in
the opposite direction.
NOTE
When tightening the arbor nut, take care not to over tighten as this will make it very difficult to remove later.
Because the rotation of the blade runs counter to the direction of the threads on the nut, the blade is essentially tightening itself to the nut whenever the saw is running. Though there are no hard and fast rules for how
much torque is required, the arbor nut should be always tightened hand-tight and just slightly beyond “snug”.

1. Slide the fence over to the right T-slot on your saw
table top A. Push down the locking lever to lock the
fence in place B and make a 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
the supplied 4 mm 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.
V
• 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.
TYPES OF CUTS
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 A.
• The work to be cut must have a straight edge to ride
against the fence and must be flat to make solid con
tact 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 or cause the blade to lift and eject the workpiece towards the front of the saw at very high
speeds. 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 workpiece to be cut.
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 safe removal).
If the work to be ripped is narrow, it is safer to use a push
stick, rather than the hands, to feed it into the blade B.
Push sticks with non-slip grippers can be purchased, but
a shop-made one 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
B
18
NEVER REACH IN TOWARDS THE BLADE WHILE THE BLADE IS STILL SPINNING! WHENEVER A RIP CUT IS COMPLETED,
TURN OFF THE SAW AND WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE REACHING IN TO REMOVE THE
WORKPIECE OR THE WASTE MATERIAL.
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.
IPPING SMALL WORK PIECES
R
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
Cutting against the grain, to shorten the length of a
board is cross cutting. With some smaller-sized and rectangular pieces, you often have the choice of ripping
or cross cutting. Always use the miter gauge, C, when
cross cutting; 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 cross cutting, 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, D. 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
D
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 clearance 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 T-square.
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 C. Turn the adjusting screw D 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.

19
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, and not
bowed. It should be about 2" wide and extend about 12"
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 A.
To use the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence, first notch
the fence with the saw blade a bit higher than the nut B. Measure and draw a cutline on your wood C 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.

blade on the waste side of the mark. Don’t cut 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 E. A narrow dash, with a sharp pencil point is best D.
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 F.

MITER CUTS
This operation is the same as cross cutting, except the
miter gauge is set to an angle other than 0. Hold the work
piece 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 3/4" 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 (Item # 50-202) 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. RE-ATTACH THE GUARD
AFTER DADO CUT IS FINISHED. THE MAXIMUM DADO HEAD WIDTH FOR THIS SAW IS 3/4" AND THE MAXIMUM DADO BLADE
DIAMETER IS 8".

TENANCE.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the saw with a damaged switch - replace a
•
damaged switch immediately
• Inspect the saw blade for damage or chipped teeth before each use. Replace a damaged or chipped blade
immediately. Never operate the saw with a damaged or chipped blade
Keep the saw table clean and free of dust, pitch or glue. An occasional light coating of paste wax can be used
•
to protect the cast-iron surface. Ask our local distributor for suggestions on table top cleaners and cast-iron surface protection based on what is readily available in your area.
• Occasionally open the cabinet door and brush off and vacuum out accumulated dust from inside the cabinet and on the blade tilting gears and on or around the motor.
• Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. To minimize the risk of electric shock or fire, never
operate the saw with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace a damaged power cord or plug at the first
sign of damage.
• To minimize airborne dust particles periodically inspect all dust collection fittings – re-tighten as needed.
LUBRICATION
Keep the blade height adjustment mechanism A (accessible by the motor cover door on the left side of the saw)
as well as the blade tilt mechanism B well lubricated and
free of dust or debris. Clean and remove dust, debris, and
old lubricant as needed depending on frequency of use.
After cleaning, reapply lubricant as needed.
Note: Use any all-purpose grease, available at any hardware store).
The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated – no further lubrication is required. No other
part of this table saw needs lubrication.

ADJUSTING THE 45° & 90° BEVEL STOPS
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Raise the blade to its highest position and lift the blade
guard.
3. Loosen the bevel lock knob and turn the blade tilting
handwheel clockwise until it stops.
4. Verify the angle of the blade with a combination
square from the left side of the blade, keep the square
flat against the table and against the flat part of the
blade - Do not touch the teeth or the table insert.
If the blade angle is incorrect, loosen the two set screws D
and manually turn the 90° stop nut C one full counterclockwise turn.
Turn the handwheel until the blade is at 90° to the table surface. Then re-tighten the 90° stop nut clockwise until slight
resistance is felt, then re-tighten the set screw. Do not over
tighten the stop nut.
Verify the 45° setting by tilting the blade as far as possible to
the left and,using the square,check the angle and if needed adjust as for the 90° stop,this time using the rightstop nut
A and set screws B.
