liquids or gases.

6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from the work area.

8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.

15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.

16. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER “OFF”. Do not leave the tool
before it comes to a complete stop.

17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.

18. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.

19. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for most efficient and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

20. CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR LOOSE PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure
it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, loose
binding of moving parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its safe operation. A guard
or other part that is loose or damaged should be
properly adjusted repaired or replaced.

21. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.

22. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the
influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that
could impair your ability to use the tool safely.

TABLE SAW SAFETY

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti­kickback pawls for every operation for which they can
be used, including through sawing. Through sawing
operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece when ripping or
crosscutting.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or rip fence.

3. USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a
push stick especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer
to ripping instructions in this Operator’s Manual
where the push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for
making your own push stick is included on page 26.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION “FREE HAND”,

which means using only your hands to support or
guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or
the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR
CAUSE OF KICK-BACK & FINGER/HAND
AMPUTATIONS.

5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line
with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out
of the saw blade path.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any
reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.

12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the
sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.

13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you)
by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to
the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, anti­kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and
functioning. Do not release work before it has passed
all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is
twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide it along the fence.

14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move
into the saw blade.

15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.
Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage
the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to
clean plastic parts.

16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before
performing any cutting operations. Refer to
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 12.

17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make
hazardous dust.

18. ALWAYS USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from
the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire
hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for
additional sawdust removal.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.

9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of
rotation only.

10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when
crosscutting.

11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE
without first turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch
OFF immediately to prevent motor damage.

19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not
leave the saw until it comes to a complete stop.

20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this
Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 12). Failure to provide sawdust
fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to
build up in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard
and potential motor damage.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This saw is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor (wire) with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly
grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole grounding receptacles that
accept the saw’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be
grounded (3-wire with two flat prongs and one round
ground prong).

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, make sure you use one heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table above shows
the correct size to use according to extension cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
NOTE: The 12 to 16 Amp rating is correct for this tool. It is
highlighted in the table above.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or
have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Before connecting the saw to the extension cord, make
sure the saw switch is turned OFF.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

This saw has an overload relay button that resets the
motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage.
If the motor stops during operation, turn the ON / OFF
switch to the OFF position. Wait about five minutes for the
motor to cool, push in on the reset button and turn the
switch to the ON position.

CUTTING OPERATIONS

There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and
crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the
grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece.
Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely
freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.

WARNING

Before using the saw each and every time, check the
following:

1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.

2. The bevel angle lock knob is tight.

3. If ripping, the fence is locked into position & is parallel

to the miter gauge groove.

4. The blade guard is in place and working properly.

5. Safety glasses are being worn.

— — 19

The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and
those printed in the front of this manual, can greatly
increase the likelihood of injury.

RIPPING (Fig. W, X)

WARNING

To prevent serious injury:
 Never use a miter gauge when ripping.
 Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table

saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even
a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a
severe injury.

 Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from

the path of the blade.

 The workpiece must have a straight edge against the

fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed
when ripping.

1. Remove the miter gauge and store it in the "storage"
compartment in the base of the saw.

2. Secure the rip fence to the table.

3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" higher than the top
of the workpiece.

4. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.

5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come to
full speed.

6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will
pass between the blade and the fence. (Fig. W)

7. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of

your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2),
finish the cut with a push stick. To make an additional
push stick, use the pattern on page 26.

8. The push stick (3) should always be used. (Fig. X)

9. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick

(3) until it passes through the blade guard and clears
the rear of the table.

10. Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning.

Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely
stops, you can then remove the workpiece.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

To avoid injury from the blade contact, never make cuts
narrower than 1/2" wide.

1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger

piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.

2. When a small width is to be ripped and your hand

cannot be safely press between the blade and the
rip fence, use one or more push sticks to move the
workpiece. Always use a push stick during ripping
operations.

NOTE: Always use a push stick. When width of the rip is
na rro w er than 2" the push stick cannot be used because
the guard will interfere... therefore, use the auxiliary fence
so the push stick can be used as shown on page 26.
