WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

Additional Safety for Table Saws
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during operation. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike operators or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep hands
away from saw blade and out of blade path dur­ing operation, so they cannot accidentally slip into blade. Only operate at front of machine and always stand to side of blade path. Never reach behind or over blade.
BLADE GUARD. The blade guard protects oper­ator from rotating saw blade. Make sure blade guard is installed, adjusted correctly, and used for all possible “through cuts.” Promptly repair or replace if damaged. Re-install immediately after operations that require its removal.
RIVING KNIFE. Use riving knife for all “non­through cuts.” Make sure it is aligned and posi­tioned correctly. Promptly repair or replace it if damaged.
KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when saw blade ejects workpiece back toward operator. Know how to reduce risk of kickback, and learn how to protect yourself if it does occur.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding workpiece incorrectly increases risk of kickback. Always allow blade to reach full speed before cutting, feed workpiece from front of saw, making sure workpiece is flat against table and a fence, miter gauge, or other guide is used to feed workpiece in a straight line. Feed cuts through to completion. Never start saw with workpiece touching blade or pull workpiece from behind blade. Never back workpiece out of cut, move it sideways, or perform a “freehand” operation. Never plunge cut.
PUSH STICKS/PUSH BLOCKS. To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, use push sticks/ push blocks whenever possible. In event of an accident, these will often take damage that would have occurred to hands/fingers.
FENCE. To reduce risk of kickback, make sure fence remains properly adjusted and parallel with blade. Always lock fence before using.
CUT-OFF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to completely stop before removing cut-off pieces near blade or trapped between blade and table insert. Never use your hands to move cut-off pieces away from blade while saw is running.
BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting blade height or tilt during operation increases risk of crash­ing blade and sending metal fragments flying with deadly force at operator or bystanders. Only adjust blade height and tilt when blade is com­pletely stopped and saw is OFF.
CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while changing saw blade can result in serious injury. To reduce risk of accidental blade contact, always disconnect power before changing blades.
DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Damaged saw blade teeth can become deadly projectiles. Never use blades that have been dropped or damaged.
DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. Dado and rabbeting operations require special attention since they must be performed with blade guard removed, which increases risk of blade contact. DO NOT attempt dado or rabbeting operations without first reading these sections in this manual.
CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Cutting metal, glass, stone, tile, etc., increases risk of operator injury due to kickback or flying particles. Only cut natural and man-made wood products, laminate­covered wood products, and some plastics. Never cut materials not intended for this saw.

Preventing Kickback
Below are ways 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 move the workpiece backwards or try to back it out of a cut while the blade is mov­ing. If you cannot complete a cut for some reason, stop the saw motor and allow the blade to completely stop before backing the workpiece out. Promptly fix the condition that prevented you from completing the cut before starting the saw again.
Keep the blade guard installed and working correctly for all through cuts.
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.
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.
Make multiple, shallow passes when per­forming a non-through cut. Making a deep non-through cut will greatly increase the chance of kickback.
Protecting Yourself
From Kickback
Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it may still happen. Here are some ways to pro­tect yourself if kickback DOES occur:
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, which could cause amputation.
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 your hand would have received.
Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices to assist with feeding and prevent or slow down kickback.
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 kickback.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure 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.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:
This machine can be converted to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the requirements listed below. (Refer to Voltage Conversion instructions for details.)
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 electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

not properly grounded
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 specified circuit requirements.

Grounding Requirements
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.
For 230V operation: This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-ground­ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig­ure). 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.
For 115V operation: The plug specified under “ ous page has a grounding prong that must be attached to the equipment-grounding wire inside the included power cord. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see following figure) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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.
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can 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 be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:
