GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

SKU 45804 PAGE 2

REV 07j

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding

provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded

power cord and grounded power supply system.

6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools

or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.

Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the
risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating

a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

SKU 45804 PAGE 3

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power
tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents. Make sure you are prepared to
begin work before turning the Power Switch (179) “ON”.

13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. Always wear eye, hearing, and breathing protection. Wear ANSI approved

safety impact eye glasses, ANSI approved hearing protectors, and ANSI
approved dust mask or respirator when using this product. Also, non-skid
safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body

is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

17. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. There are
certain applications for which this saw was designed. Do not use this saw to do
the work of a larger saw. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not
intended.

Do not force the material into the Saw Blade when cutting. Apply moderate
pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced.

18. Do not use power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.

SKU 45804 PAGE 4

22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

tools.

23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.

SERVICE

24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided
with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use
the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See Figure A, next page.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

SKU 45804 PAGE 5

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

FIGURE A

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special

double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian
Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)

5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

following illustration. (See Figure B.)

FIGURE B

SKU 45804 PAGE 6

EXTENSION CORDS

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools

can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure C)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure C, and Figure D.)

4. If using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure

each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(See Figure C, and Figure D.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the
suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
electrician before using it.

8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Saw. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

3. Check for damaged parts. Before using this product, carefully check that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for damaged parts and
any other conditions that may affect the operation of this product. Replace or repair
damaged or worn parts immediately.

4. Do not use this tool for cutting metals or brittle materials. Do not cut dangerous
materials, such as asbestos which can cause harmful dust or vapors.

5. Allow the Saw Blade to spin up to full speed before feeding wood into it. When
turning it off, allow the Saw Blade to spin down and stop on its own. Do not press
against the Saw Blade to stop it.

6. Never pass hands directly over the Saw Blade when cutting the workpiece.
Push the workpiece into the Saw Blade, using the Push Stick (37).

7. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Table Saw

while it is plugged in and running.

8. Turn off the Table Saw if the woodstock is to be backed out of an uncompleted
cut.

9. Always feed the woodstock into the Saw Blade and against its rotation.

10. Make sure the woodstock is supported at all times while sawing. Use a Roller
Stand (not provided) with larger woodstocks if necessary.

SKU 45804 PAGE 8

11. Before trying new or complicated techniques, study the procedure, and practice

with scrap wood.

12. Make sure the woodstock is free from loose knots, flaws, nails, and from
any other foreign objects that could damage the Saw Blade or cause
“kickback”.

13. Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden reaction to
a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled woodstock to lift
up and out of the Table Saw toward the operator. When the Saw Blade is pinched or
bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the tool rapidly back toward the operator. If the Saw Blade becomes twisted
or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the Saw Blade can raise the
workpiece (walk-up), and eject it towards the operator. Kickback is a result of tool
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain control of the woodstock at all times. Never allow the woodstock to

rest on the moving Saw Blade without holding on to it.

• When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,

turn off the Power Switch and hold the woodstock motionless on the Table
Saw until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove

the woodstock from the Table Saw or pull the woodstock backward while the Saw
Blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of Saw Blade binding.

• When restarting a woodstock on the Table Saw, center the Saw Blade in

the pre-cut kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the
woodstock. If the Saw Blade is binding, the woodstock may walk up or kickback

from the workpiece as the Table Saw is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimize the risk of Saw Blade pinching and

kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be

placed under the panel and near the outer edge of the panel.

• Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly set

Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade binding
and kickback.

• Never use the Fence Assembly (75) as a guide when crosscutting.

• Never rip a woodstock that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight

edge to guide along the Rip Fence.

• Push the wood stock past the Saw Blade prior to release.

14. Check all guards for proper operation before each use. Never disable any
guards. Do not operate the Table Saw if the Guard Assembly does not move freely

and close instantly. Before each use, raise the Guard Assembly and make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the Saw Blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.

SKU 45804 PAGE 9

15. Always use the proper size and type of Saw Blade (3):

Item #529 is recommended - 10” M2 Molybdenum Tipped (40 Tooth) saw.

16. Never perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the Table of the Table Saw

when the machine is running.

17. Always disconnect the Table Saw from its electrical outlet before performing
any services, maintenance, or cleaning such as leaving the work area, moving

the tool from one location to another, changing Saw Blades, cleaning sawdust from
the unit, etcetera.

18. Before use, the Table Saw should be placed on a flat, stable surface, capable

of supporting the weight of the tool and workpiece, and any additional
pressure caused by working on it. Mounting the Table Saw to the surface is
recommended -see Appendix A on page 22 for mounting details.

19. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

(a) Lead from lead-based paints;

(b) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products;

(c) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this

type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals; work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety

Code 25249.5, et seq.)

20. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using
this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

*Screws and washers may be used instead, if desired.

2. Place the Table Saw in the location it will be mounted in. Make a mark in the center of each
of the 4 mounting holes. Set the Saw aside.
