Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
1. USE GUARDS, splitter and anti-kickback
fingers whenever possible during sawing
operations. Always use safety devices
when ripping and crosscutting
2. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CUT “FREE-
HAND”. Always make cuts with your work-
piece set firmly against the fence or miter
gauge while cutting.
3. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE when
sawing. Doing this greatly increases the
chances of personal injury and motor overload caused by jamming and/or kickback.
4. ALWAYS USE A PUSHSTICK for ripping
narrow stock. Refer to the Operations
Section of this manual for specific information regarding pushsticks and other safety
accessories.
5. NEVER STAND with any part of your body
in direct line with the saw blade.
6. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE a stalled
blade while the saw is running.
7. IF THERE IS ANY doubt as to the stability
or integrity of the material to be cut, don’t
attempt to cut it.
8. NEVER REACH OVER the blade, or
attempt awkward cuts that compromise
your ability to control the movement of your
workpiece. Keep hands well away from the
saw blade.
9. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE a stalled
blade while the saw is running.
10. AVOID KICKBACKS by ensuring that your
blade is sharp, your fence is parallel to the
blade, safety devices are in place, and that
material to be cut is free from warps or
twists.
11. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE support
at the rear and the sides of the table for
extra-long or extra-wide materials.
12. NEVER RAISE THE BLADE more than
1
⁄8"
above the height of the material you plan to
cut.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to launch flying debris which could cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or
goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G1022 family of table
saws. Accidents are frequently caused by
lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention.
Use this tool with respect and caution to
lessen the possibility of operator injury.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The 1 H.P. motor supplied with the G5045, draws
approximately 13 amps @ 110V. We recommend
a dedicated 15-amp breaker. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while providing enough
protection against motor damage caused by
power surges or overload.
The G5045 is shipped complete with a grounded
110V cordset and plug. If you require the use of
an extension cord while operating this table saw,
use a properly grounded cord that’s constructed
to U.L. standards. Use the chart included in the
Safety Section to determine what gauge cord is
necessary for safe operation. Underpowering
your saw by using an inadequate or damaged
cord can result in damage to the Model G5045.
Always inspect your cord and cord ends for damage or wear prior to using them.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
table saw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor. Be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local
and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician.
Grounding
This equipment must be grounded. If it is
not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
Figure 1. Grounded 110V plug and outlet.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

Commentary
G5045 10'' Bench Top Table Saw -7-
Clean up Site Considerations
1. Floor Load: Your G5045 10" Table Saw
represents a moderate weight load in a
small footprint. Most floors are suitable for
the table saw. Some older residential floors
may require additional build up to support
both machine and operator.
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing
and anticipated needs, size of material to
be processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a home
for your table saw. Allow sufficient room to
safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Observe local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
Unpainted machine surfaces may be coated with
a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid
chlorine-based solvents as they may damage
painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources when dealing
with solvents. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.
Keep children and animals safely away
when cleaning and assembling this
machine.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleumbased solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that
your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment. This saw is equipped
with a removable switch key. Remove it
from the saw and place it in a safe location
when the saw is not in use.

Flat Washers and M8-1.25 Hex Nuts
Supplied. See Figure 3. Do not tighten any
stand bolts until Step 5. Finger tighten only
for now.
Stand Assembly
Some die-cut metal parts may have sharp
edges (called “flashing”) on them after they
are formed. Please examine the edges of
all die-cut metal parts before handling
them. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Bench Mounting
The Model G5045 can be mounted on a workbench or a portable stand, in addition to its standard heavy-duty base. If the saw is bench-mounted, it is essential to create a cutout below the saw
to allow sawdust to exit the machine. The cutout
should measure 11" to 12" square and should be
centered underneath the saw’s frame. For maximum stability, the saw should be secured to the
bench with
3
⁄8" lag bolts or 3⁄8" through bolts.
