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 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.
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 feed table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all mo­ving parts. Use a br ush, 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.
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 suppor t 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.
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 o ver 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 accessor ies NOT recommended by
GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL
may result in equip-
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 pow er 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,
GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL disclaims any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that use.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 120V single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3­prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type recep­tacle . 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 , 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 eletrician before pro­ceeding.
CIRCUIT CAP
ACITY
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 depar tment.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE,VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR PO WER 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.
CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 240V
Should you need to conv ert your machine’ s motor from 120V to 240V 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 injur y, damage to the motor and voiding the warranty of y our 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.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
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 operator.
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.
Note: Install the 4 supplied leveling feet Aunder the saw cab­inet before final placement of the saw. Adjust the leveling feet as needed to level the saw with the floor.
ESTABLISHING A SAFE
TY 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.
THIS MODEL 50-240GT 10" GRANITE TOP TABLE SAW 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 476 LBS (216 KG).

This cabinet 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" (254 mm) diameter blades having a center hole diameter of 5/8". The blade can be raised to cut a maximum stock thickness of 3 3/16" 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 5/16". Using any standard aftermarket 8" diameter stacked dado blade set (not included),the maximum dado cutting capac­ity of this saw is 3/4".
Note: for safer dado cutting, an optional dado table insert (part number #50-241) can be purchased through your General International distributor.
The 50-240GT 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 times, regardless of the height or angle of the blade. This can help reduce (but not totally eliminate) the risk of a 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.
