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, dis tracted, 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 particula te 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 power bef ore 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 CONNECTIONS
Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar de vice) as well as an electrical plug are recommended and should be installed by a qualified electrician. Use locally a p­proved wire that includes a separate grounding wire and a 3 prong grounding type plug A with a matching receptacle B .
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 220V single phase operation. As with many stationary industrial type machines, because each installation situation is unique, this table saw is supplied without a power cord or plug. The installation of an appropriate power cord and plug must be performed by a qualified electrician. The machine must be connected to an electrical source using a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must also be properly connected to the ground­ing prong on the plug. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded and all electrical connections must be made in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
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.
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 depar tment.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not generally recom­mended for 220V equipment. If you find it necessary, 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.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine 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
The General International model 50-300 cabinet saw is available with various motor size and electrical voltage require­ment options. Standard 3 HP motor option carries model number 50-300 M1 and 5 HP motor options are available under model number 50-305 M1, M2 or M3, based on motor operating voltage (see manual coverpage for complete list).
An optional deluxe Chrome Edition is also available, including chrome-coated main table and extensions wings, 36” chrome-coated steel extension table with adjustable support legs,and an onboard overhead dust extraction system (dust collector sold separately) under model number 50-300CE M1 and 50-305CE M1, M2 or M3.
This cabinet saw has been designed for cutting solid wood as well as manufactured wood materials such as plywood, wood paneling,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" 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 1/8".Using any standard aftermar­ket 8" diameter stacked dado blade set (not included),the maximum dado cutting capacity of this saw is 13/16". Note: for safer dado cutting,an optional dado table insert (#50-302) can be purchased through your General International dis­tributor.
To encourage safety through the proper use of either the supplied riving style splitter/blade guard assembly or the European style riving knife the 50-300/300CE/305/305CE have been designed with a quick install/quick release feature allowing the user to install or remove either of these safety components in seconds.
For added convenience,a retractable built-in caster system is included to allow the user to engage the wheels in order to move the saw as needed within the shop.Once moved to the desired location the saw can then be set firmly back onto the floor.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
PL
ACEMENT 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.
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.
THIS MODEL 50-300 10" TILTING ARBOR 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 492 LBS (223 KG) FOR MODELS 50-300/305 AND OF 562 LBS (255 KG) FOR MODELS 50­300CE/305CE.

CLEAN UP
The protective coating on the saw table prev ents 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 solvent­soaked 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.

CONNECTING TO A DUST COLLECTOR
• There is a 4" dust outlet A located on the rear of the saw cabinet allowing for the connection to a dust col­lection system (not included).
• Be sure to use appropriate size hose and fittings (not included) and check that all connections are sealed tightly to minimize airborne dust.
Note: If you have not purchased either model 50-300CE or 50­305CE, make sure that the 2 1/2” branch on the dust outlet
B
is sealed with the supplied cap C.
• If you do not already own a dust collection system consider contacting your General® International dis­tributor for information on our complete line of dust col­lection systems and accessories or visit our website at www.general.ca
ALWAYS TURN ON THE DUST COLLECTOR BEFORE STARTING THE SAW AND ALWAYS STOP THE SAW BEFORE TURNING OFF THE DUST COLLECTOR.

BE SURE THE SAW IS UNPLUGGED AND COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER INSTALLING OR REMOVING A SAW BLADE!
NOTE: This saw is intended for use with 10" (254 mm) 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 operating speeds of 4300 RPM or higher.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.
INSTALL A SAW BLADE
1. Lift the table insert up A and loosen the lock lever B, then pull the splitter or riving knife up out of its mounting bracket C.

5. To remove a saw blade: perform the same procedure turning the arbor nut in the opposite direction.
BEFORE TURNING ON THE SAW, MAKE SURE THE ARBOR LOCK IS DISENGAGED (POPS UP) BY TURNING THE BLADE A FRAC­TION TO UNLOCK. TURN THE BLADE BY HAND ONE FULL ROTATION TO MAKE SURE THE ARBOR/BLADE TURNS FREELY.
NO
TE
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”.

3. Install a saw blade on the arbor so that the openings
between the teeth face the front of the saw (the bla­de spins in the counter-clockwise direction).

SELECT A RIVING KNIFE
Two riving knives are provided:
- A European style riving knife without blade guard A;
- A combination riving style splitter and blade guard with anti-kickback pawls and built-in 2 1/2” dust out­let B.
The riving knife must always be used with a blade guard. If you already own an independently attached blade­guard such as our Excalibur 50-EXBC10,use the riving knife A. If you do not already own a blade guard, use the splitter/blade guard assembly B
.
THE BLADE MUST NEVER REMAIN EXPOSED WHEN USING THE SAW. TO PREVENT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURIES, ALWAYS COVER THE BLADE WITH A BLADE GUARD.

ADJUSTMENT / ALIGNMENT
A
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE SAW BEFORE PER­FORMING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
The locking screws must first be loosened (with a 4 mm allen key) – 1/4 turn or more, depending upon how much adjustment is required, in order to be able to adjus t the set screws.
Tip: Tighten each locking screw immediately after adjusting its corresponding set screw to avoid undoing the previous adjustment.
The splitter/knife mounting bracket consists of: a rocker arm A, a spacer B, and a hold-down block C. This assembly is held together by two locking screws D. Both 90º to the table and parallel/centered to the blade alignments can be achieved by adjusting the four set screws E.
The riving knife mounting block is alr
eady factory set, and should not require adjustment out of the box. However with use over time,re-alignment may be required periodically.
LEVEL THE TABLE INSERT
Place the insert into the table and use a straightedge to determine whether the insert is level with the table top.Turn each of the 6 adjusting screws A with the a 3 mm Allen key until done.
Suggestion: Start by adjusting one rear screw and its diagonal opposite in front, then tweak the remaining screws.
Note: If the saw blade has already been installed, use the raising hand wheel to lower the blade below the table surface before leveling the insert.

Make sure that the arbor nut is secure and that the blade is firmly tightened snug on the arbor.
Make sure that the arbor lock is disengaged and the blade spins unobstructed when rotated by hand.
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.
Make sure that the mobile base have been completely disengaged and that the saw firmly sits onto the floor.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VERIFY ALL CHECK POINTS BEFORE STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.
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
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 or cause the blade to lift and eject the workpiece towards the front of the saw at v ery high speeds. The blade guard keeps your fingers away from the blade and also reduces the amount of sawdust fly­ing free.
• Although cer tain 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).
TYPES OF CUTS
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.
21
A
If the work to be ripped is narrow,it is safer to use the sup­plied push stick, rather than the hands, to feed it into the blade B.
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.
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 to 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.
CROSS CUTTING
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 C 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 D. Keep a firm grip as you pull the miter gauge and the wood back away fr om 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.
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.
22
B
C
D
RIPPING SMALL 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.
ADJUSTING 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 counterclockwise,flip down the stop-lock tab B and 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 accurac y of the miter g auge’ 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.
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 until it touches the stop­lock tab. Tighten down the nut. Recheck the angle by making another test cut. Repeat, if necessar y,until a true 90° is achieved.
ADJUSTING AND USING THE MITER GAUGE
A
B
C
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 A.
To use the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence,first notch the fence with the saw blade a bit higher than the workpiece 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).

Marking Wood.
If you measure a cut for 24 inches,line up the 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 D.A narrow dash,with a sharp pencil point is best E. Encircle the dash so you’ll find it again and add a small “x” to indicate the waste or cut-off side F.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 G.

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 I.
COMPOUND MITERING
This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and mitering. It is infrequently used. Follow instructions for both bevel cutting and mitering.

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 supplied with your dado blade.
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 # 50-302) 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".

MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
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 pas te 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 br ush 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 par ticles periodically inspect all dus t collection fittings – re-tighten as needed.
MAKE SURE THE SAW HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAIN­TENANCE.
LUBRICATION
Keep the blade height adjustment mechanism A as well as the blade tilt mechanism B (both accessible by the motor cover door) well lubricated and free of dust or debris. Clean and remove dust, debris,and old grease as needed depending on frequency of use. After cleaning, reapply grease as needed. The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubri­cation is required. No other par t of this table saw needs lubrication.
Note: Use any all-purpose grease, available at any hardware store.
