Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
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 awa y 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. Av oid bod y contact with gr ounded surfaces suc h as pipes, radiator s, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properl y 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.
7. 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

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 r isk of electr ic 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.
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.
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.
Page 3SKU 91815
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. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 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.
18. Do not use the 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.
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
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THE TABLE SAW
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Table Sa w. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
2. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when
using the Table Saw. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety
impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is
adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable
chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
4. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning
on the Table Saw.
5. Do not force the Table Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed
and capacity for which it was designed.
6. Always unplug the Table Saw from its electrical outlet before performing and
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
7. After cutting, wait until the saw blade comes to a complete stop before removing stock
from the table, reaching around the saw blade, or leaving the area.
8. Never walk away and leave the saw running.
9. When making rip cuts, feed the stock into the blade against the direction of the blade
rotation.
10. Always use a push stick (not included) when ripping small or thin stock.
11. Keep saw blade sharp and free of all rust and pitch.
12. Always use the Anti-kickback Pawl (17) attachment when making rip cuts.
13. Always use the saw fence, blade guard, splitter, and anti-kickback fingers for
lengthwise sawing. Never push stock being cut by hand. Never disable the Blade
Guard (10).
14. Tighten and lock all adjusting (saw blade positioning) screws before operating.
15. Keeps hands out of the path of the saw blade during operation.
16. Only use ten (10) inch saw blades with 5/8 inch arbor on this machine.
17. Always secure the stock being cut with clamps whenever possible.
18. Make sure that the Switch is in the OFF position before plugging the line cord into the
electrical outlet.
(1)
19. Never cut more than one piece of stock at a time, for any type of cut.
20. Provide proper support for the stock based on its size and the type of operation to be
performed.
Page 5SKU 91815
21. Many saw accidents are caused by dull, badly set, and improperly filed cutting blades;
gum or resin adhering to the cutting blade; and by saw blade misalignment with the
fence. Such conditions can cause the stock to stick, jam, stall the saw blade, or kick
back at the operator. Never cut anything other than wood with the included Saw
Blade; cutting hard materials can cause the carbide blade to shatter and break apart.
WARNING: Ne ver attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning OFF the Table
Saw and unplugging the Line Cord fr om the outlet.
22. Avoid awkward hand positions (i.e., crossing arms during operation) in which a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the moving saw blade.
23. Before making any adjustments to the Table Saw, the Switch should be in the OFF
position and the Switch locked OFF.
24. Never turn the Table Saw ON before clearing the table and work surface of all objects
(tools, scraps of wood, etc.), except the stock to be cut.
25. Avoid Kickback of stock:
- For rip cuts, the saw blade must be exactly parallel to the fence to prevent pinching
or heeling. Use the stock Separator (27) on the output side of the stock cut.
- Only feed the stock against the rotation of the saw blade.
- Keep the stock firmly on the table while cutting.
26. When making rip cuts:
- Push only on the main section of stock, between the saw blade and the fence.
- Always use a push stick, never your hands.
- Do not release the stock before the cut is complete, and push beyond the saw blade.
- Always push the stock through the saw blade, never pull it through from the opposite
direction.
- Always use the anti-kickback claws.
- Do not rip stock that is bowed, warped, or has nonparallel edges.
- Never reach over or behind the saw blade.
27. The use of abrasive, cut off, or wire wheels can be dangerous and must not be used.
28. Never perfor m any sawing operation freehand.
29. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Vibration during
cutting may cause these to loosen.
30. Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water.
Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.

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: lead fr om lead-based paints, crystalline silica fr om bricks and cement or other
masonry products, 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: w ork in a well ventilated area, and w ork with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before us-
ing this product. Electr omagnetic fields in c lose pr oximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause interference to, or failure of the pacemaker. In addition, people with pacemaker s
should adhere to the following:
• Avoid operating power tools alone.
• Don’t use a power tool with the power switch locked on.
• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground
fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is
a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)
• Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
GROUNDING
Note: This tool comes with a 3-prong grounded plug.
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the gr ounding 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 gr ounded. Do not modify the power cor d plug pro vided with the tool or
product. Never remove the grounding pr ong 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, ha ve a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Grounded T ools: T ools 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.)
Page 7SKU 91815
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.)
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. Three-prong Outlet Figure B. T wo-prong Outlet
Double Insulated Tools: T ools with Tw o 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 above.)
5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the
following illustration. (See Figure B above.)
EXTENSION CORDS
1.
Grounded
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 T ab le A.)
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
Table A.)
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated
tools can use
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 Table
A.)
