The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor­tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that
safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

Additional Safety for Table Saws

HAND POSITIONING. Never purposely touch a
saw blade during operation. Always keep hands/
fingers out of the blade path; place them where
they cannot slip into the blade accidentally. Never
reach around, behind, or over the blade. Touching
a spinning saw blade will cause serious laceration
or amputation injuries.

BLADE GUARD. Use the blade guard for all
“through cuts” for which it can be used. (A through
cut is an operation where the blade cuts complete­ly through the top of the workpiece.) Make sure
the blade guard is installed and adjusted correctly;
promptly repair or replace it if damaged. Always
re-install blade guard immediately after operations
that require its removal. Operating saw with the
blade guard removed greatly increases the risk of
severe laceration or amputation injuries from acci­dental blade contact.

RIVING KNIFE. Use the riving knife for all “non­through cuts” for which it can be used. (A non­through cut is an operation where the blade does
not cut through the top of the workpiece.) Make
sure the riving knife is aligned and positioned cor­rectly; and promptly repair or replace it if damaged.
Using the riving knife incorrectly will increase the
risk of kickback or accidental blade contact.

FENCE. Make sure the fence remains properly
adjusted and parallel with the blade. Always lock
the fence in place before using. Using or adjusting
the fence incorrectly will increase risk of kickback.

PUSH STICKS/BLOCKS. Use push sticks or push
blocks whenever possible to keep your hands far­ther away from the blade while cutting; in the event
of an accident these devices will often take dam­age that would have happened to hands/fingers.

CUT-OFF PIECES. Never use your hands to move
cut-offs away from the blade while the saw is run­ning. If a cut-off becomes trapped between the
blade and table insert, turn the saw OFF and allow
the blade to completely stop before removing it.

BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting the blade
height or tilt during operation increases the risk of
crashing the blade and sending metal fragments
flying with deadly force at the operator or bystand­ers. Only adjust the blade height and tilt when the
blade is completely stopped and the saw is OFF.

CHANGING BLADES. Always disconnect power
before changing blades. Changing blades while
the saw is connected to power greatly increases
the injury risk if saw is accidentally powered up.

KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the saw blade
ejects the workpiece back toward the operator.
Know how to reduce the risk of kickback, and learn
how to protect yourself if it does occur.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding the workpiece
incorrectly will increase risk of kickback. Never
start the saw with a workpiece touching the blade;
allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting.
Only feed the workpiece against the direction of
blade rotation. Always use some type of guide
(fence, miter gauge, sliding table or sled, etc.) to
feed the workpiece in a straight line. Never back a
workpiece out of a cut or try to move it backwards
or sideways after starting a cut. Feed cuts all the
way through to completion. Never perform any
operation “freehand” (making a cut without using a
fence, miter gauge, or other guide).

-12-

DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades
that have been dropped or otherwise damaged.
Damaged blades can fly apart and strike the oper­ator with shards of metal.

DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. DO NOT
attempt dado or rabbeting operations without
first reading those sections in this manual. Dado
and rabbeting operations require special attention
because they must be performed with the blade
guard removed.

CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Never cut
materials not intended for this saw; only cut natural
and man-made wood products, laminate covered
wood products, and some plastics. Cutting metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc. increases the risk of operator
injury due to kickback or flying particles.

Model G0690/G0691 (Mfg. 11/10+)

Preventing Kickback

Below are tips to avoid the most common
causes of kickback:

• Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth
and straight edge. DO NOT cut warped,
cupped or twisted wood.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece
is not fed parallel with the blade, kickback will
likely occur. Always use the rip fence or miter
gauge to support the workpiece.

• Make sure the spreader or riving knife is
aligned with the blade. A misaligned spreader
or riving knife can cause the workpiece to
catch or bind, increasing the chance of kick­back. If you think that your spreader or riving
knife is not aligned with the blade, check it
immediately!

Statistics show that most common acci­dents among table saw users can be
linked to kickback. Kickback is typically
defined as the high-speed expulsion of
stock from the table saw toward its opera­tor. In addition to the danger of the opera­tor or others in the area being struck by
the flying stock, it is often the case that
the operator’s hands are pulled into the
blade during the kickback.

Protecting Yourself

From Kickback

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it
may still happen. Here are some tips to pro­tect yourself if kickback DOES occur:

• Take the time to check and adjust the rip
fence parallel with the blade; otherwise, the
chances of kickback are extreme.

• The spreader or riving knife maintains the
kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance of
kickback. Always use the riving knife for all
non-through operations, unless a dado blade
is installed. Always use the spreader with the
blade guard for all through cuts.

• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle
of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly
increased.

• Keep the blade guard installed and in good
working order. Only remove it when per­forming non-through cuts and immediately
re-install the blade guard when finished.
Remember, always use the riving knife for all
non-through operations, unless a dado blade
is installed.

• Stand to the side of the blade during every cut.
If kickback does occur, the thrown workpiece
usually travels directly in front of the blade.

• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the
event of kickback, your eyes and face are the
most vulnerable part of your body.

• Never, for any reason, place your hand
behind the blade. Should kickback occur,
your hand will be pulled into the blade.

• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take
the damage that your hand would have
received.

• Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices
to prevent or slow down kickback.

• Make multiple, shallow passes when per­forming a non-through cut. Making a deep
non-through cut will greatly increase the
chance of kickback.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man­ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul­tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require­ments:

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing plug (similar to the figure below). The plug
must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

No adapter should be used with the
required plug. If the plug does not fit the
available receptacle, or the machine must

operated is important for safe operation and lon­gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi­cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.

Electrical Installation

Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Assembly

Assembly steps are the same for the Model
G0690 and G0691 except where noted. Assembly
consists of installing minor components, the exten­sion wings, front and rear rails, extension table,
and the legs (Model G0691 only).

3. Thread the handwheel lock knob into the cen­ter of the handwheel and tighten, then install
the handle into the handwheel using a 14mm
wrench (see Figure 13).

To assemble the table saw:

1. Pull the magnetic switch out of the saw cabi-

net and install the door by inserting the door
pins into the hinge sockets on the cabinet
(see Figure 11).

2. Place the included 5 x 5 x 40 key in the

handwheel shaft and slide the handwheel
onto the shaft on the front of the table saw.
Use the included 2.5mm hex wrench to tight­en the set screw (see Figure 12) on the side
of the handwheel until it is secure.

4. Remove the shipping brace (see Figure 14)

using a 17mm wrench and a pair of needle
nose pliers. Reinstall the M10-1.5 x 25 hex
bolt, flat washer, hex nut and the cotter pin,
and save the shipping brace.

5. Insert the lip of the lower part of the dust port
into the cabinet and tighten the thumb knob
(already installed) to secure (see Figure

15).

9. Place the straightedge across the extension

wings and main table to make sure that the
combined table surface is flat.

— If the combined table surface is flat, skip to

the next step.

6. Remove the M8-1.25 x 30 cap screws, and

8mm flat washers and lock washers from the
ends of the main table.

7. Inspect the extension wings and main table
mating surfaces for burrs or foreign materials
that may inhibit assembly.

The mating edges of the wings and the table

must be clean, smooth, and flat. Use a wire
brush or file if necessary to clean up the
edges. This step will ensure that the wings
mount properly to the main table.

— If the outside end of the extension wing tilts

down, use a strip of masking tape along the
bottom edge of the main table to shim the
extension wing up (Figure 17).

Figure 17. Masking tape location for tilting the

extension wing up.

— If the outside end of the extension wing

tilts up, use a strip of masking tape along
the top edge of the main table to shim the
extension wing down (Figure 18).

Note: After reinstalling wings, remove all

excess masking tape with a razor blade.

8. While a helper holds the wings in place,
attach each extension wing to the main table
with the four M8-1.25 x 30 cap screws, 8mm
lock washers and 8mm flat washers removed
in Step 6 (Figure 16).

10. Install the front rail onto the table and exten­sion wings with four M8-1.25 x 40 hex bolts,
eight 8mm flat washers, four 8mm lock wash­ers, and four M8-1.25 hex nuts, as shown in

Figure 19.

G0691 ONLY: Install the 82" front rail rect-

angular tube onto the 70" front rail with five
M6-1 x 16 cap screws, 6mm lock washers,
and 6mm flat washers, as shown in Figure

21.

Before final tightening, make sure the front

rail is set

⁄16" below the beveled edge of the
main table and extension wings along its
entire length.
