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.
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.
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 2
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. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. 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.
8. 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
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Always wear eye, hearing, and breathing protection. Wear ANSI ap-
proved safety impact goggles, hearing protection, and dust mask or respirator when using this product. Non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. 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.
21. 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 main-
tained tools.
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4
22. 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
23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24. 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
1. Ground this product. This Table Saw requires the attachment and use of a UL
approved, 220 volt, grounded, 3-prong, electrical Power Cord Plug (not included).
Only a qualified electrician should install the Power Cord Plug. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the Power Cord Plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with this product. To comply with the National Electric Code, and to provide
additional protection from the risk of electrical shock, this product should only be
connected to a 220 volt, 3-hole outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). (See Figure A, page 10.)
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Table Saw. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work
before turning on the Table Saw.
4. 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. Do not force the Saw Blade
into the workpiece being cut.
5. WARNING! Keep hands and fingers away from cutting area and Saw
Blade. Use a “push stick” (not included) if necessary.
6. Never leave the Table Saw unattended when it is plugged into an
electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before
leaving.
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5
7. Always use Saw Blades (not included) with a 10” diameter, 5/8” round arbor
hole, and rated at 4150 RPM or greater. Saw Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the Table Saw or that are rated less than the required
minimum RPM will run eccentrically causing loss of control or may fly off the
Saw.
8. Make sure the Table Saw is located on a flat, level, sturdy surface capable
of supporting the weight of the Saw and workpieces.
9. Do not use the Table Saw for cutting metals or for cutting curves. This will
cause the Saw Blade to break and/or reduce its service life.
10. Make sure the Table of the Table Saw and surrounding area are clear with
the exception of the workpiece to be cut.
11. Before using the Table Saw, check to make sure the Saw Blade is properly mounted on the Saw Spindle. Make sure the Saw Blade is balanced, and
is not cracked or bent.
12. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
13. Never stand on the Table Saw. Serious injury could result if the Table Saw
is tipped or if the rotating Saw Blade is accidently contacted.
14. Never attempt to cut more than one workpiece at a time.
15. Never attempt to cut freehand. Make sure the workpiece to be cut is pressed
firmly against the Table.
16. When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly
supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included).
17. Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the Saw Blade.
18. Allow the Saw Blade to spin up to full speed before feeding it into a
workpiece. When turning off the Table Saw, allow the Saw Blade to spin down
and stop on its own. Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
19. To avoid accidental injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when
changing the Saw Blade.
20. The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting. Allow the Saw Blade to com-
pletely cool before handling.
21. Do not force the workpiece into the Saw Blade when cutting. Apply moder-
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 6
ate pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced.
22. Turn off the Table Saw and allow the Saw Blade to completely stop if the
Saw Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
23. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Table
Saw while it is plugged in and running.
24. Make sure the woodstock to be cut off has sufficient room to move sideways. Failure to do so may result in off-cut binding against the Saw Blade.
25. Always unplug the Table Saw from its electrical outlet before performing inspection, maintenance, cleaning procedures, or changing accessories.
26. Before trying new or complicated techniques, study the procedure, and
practice with scrap wood.
27. Make sure the woodstock is free from loose knots, flaws, nails, and any
other foreign objects that could damage the Saw Blade or cause “kickback”.
28. 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 from 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 woodstock 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 woodstock (walk up), and eject it
toward 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 the woodstock.
* 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 kick-
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7
back as the Table Saw is restarted.
* Support large panels with roller stands (not included) 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 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 woodstock past the Saw Blade prior to release.
29. Check all guards for proper operation before each use. Never disable
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.
30. Never perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the Table of the Table
Saw when the machine is running.
31. Always disconnect the Table Saw from its electrical outlet before performing
any services, maintenance, or cleaning such as leaving the work area, mov-
ing the machine from one location to another, changing Saw Blades, cleaning
sawdust from the machine, etc.
32. Make sure to remove all adjusting wrenches from the Table Saw before
turning it on.
33. Use a “push stick” or “auxiliary handle” (neither included) only when ripping
widths of 2” to 6”. Use a “push block” and “auxiliary fence” (neither included)
when ripping widths under 2”.
34. Keep the Table of the Table Saw clean and clear of debris. Remove cut-off
pieces and scraps of wood from the Table before starting the Table Saw.
35. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force small equipment to do
the work of larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which
this Table Saw was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate
SKU 93380 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 8
for which it was intended. Do not modify this Table Saw, and do not use this
Table Saw for a purpose for which it was not intended.
36. 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 from lead-based paints, crystalline silica
from 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:
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.)
37. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s)
before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to
a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
38. WARNING! The warnings and cautions discussed in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

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 used 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
