Make certain that is (or will be) adequate space on all sides of the table saw for the workpiece.
To allow maximum flexibility for sheet material and long boards, 9 foot (2745 mm) clearance is recommended on all sides of the table saw.
(2)Secure the four set plates to the saw base at its four corners with four 8 × 20 mm bolts (with/washers) and four 8 mm nuts.
Square the table saw to the workbench, stand or cabinet. Make certain that all controls are easily reached and there is at least 6-11/16" (170 mm) behind the rear of the table to allow for the saw blade guard assembly.
Temporarily mark the location of the four base corners and set plate of the table saw.
(3)Remove the table saw, and locate a 11" (279 mm) or 12" (305 mm) square centered between the marks locating the body shell. Cut out and remove the square. This opening allows sawdust to fall out of the body shell.
CAUTION: Failure to provide this opening can result in insufficient cooling air to the motor causing premature motor failure and a possible fire hazard.
(4)Replace the table saw, aligning it with the marks made above. Trace hole positions on the four set plates on the workbench, stand or cabinet with a pencil or the like.
(5)Remove the table saw, and drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole in each location marked. Remove all sawdust or chips.
(6)Replace the table saw in the marked location. Check to see that the table saw does not lock on the workbench and all four set plates are in contact with the top of the workbench, stand or cabinet.
(7)Using suitable length four 2" (50 mm) bolts, nuts, and flat washers (not provided) secure the table saw to the workbench, cabinet or stand. Place a spring washer and flat washer on the bolt, place the bolt through the hole in the set plate and the top of the workbench stand, or cabinet. Add another flat washer and a nut. Do not tighten the nut yet. Repeat this operation for the other three locations.
Tighten all nuts securely.
(8)Check the sturdiness of the resulting assembly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
There are two basic types of cuts. Ripping and cross cutting. In general, cutting with the grain is ripping and across the gain is cross cutting. Neither ripping or cross cutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence and cross cutting uses the miter gauge. Safety glasses are being worn.
ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH THE TOOL TO PREVENT EYE INJURY.
Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection since the lenses are not made of safety glass. Also, use a face mask for additional safety and wear a dust mask if the cutting operation produces dust.

qAdjust the saw blade height so it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of the workpiece.
wHold the workpiece flat on the table and against the rip fence. Keep the workpiece about 1" (25 mm) away from the saw blade.
CAUTION: The workpiece must have a straightedge against the rip fence and must not be warped, twisted or bowed. Keep both hands away from the saw blade and away from the path of the saw blade.
e Turn on the switch on and allow the saw blade to come up to speed.
rKeeping the workpiece against the table and rip fence, slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the workpiece until it is clear of the guard and it falls off the rear of the table.
tWhen ripping long boards or large panels, always use an adequate support.
A simple support can be prepared by fixing a piece of plywood to a sawhorse or the like.
yWhen the width of rip is more than 6" (152 mm) feed the workpiece with one or both hands continusly until it is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback pawls.
CAUTION: Do not push the free piece that is cut off, merely guide it.
uWhen the width of rip 2" (50 mm) to 6" (152 mm) wide, use a push stick to feed the workpiece. (Push stick is optional accessory)
i When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) wide, use an auxiliary guide a push block.
oWhen ripping thin material (such as veneer), the workpiece may slide or bind between the bottom of rip fence and the table surface resulting in impossible ripping. Make a board which has the same height and length of the rip fence surface by using a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood. Fix the board to the rip fence using four wood screws, so that the bottom of the board touches the table surface.
WARNING: Never operate to pull the workpiece back with the saw blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the saw blade to complete stop, raise the anti-kickback pawls (see Fig. 9-d) on each side of the spreader if necessary and slide the workpiece out.

9. Dado Cutting
WARNING: To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before mounting or dismounting the dado blade set.
Never attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 1/2" (12.7 mm) thick. Never use the dado set for cut-offs. Never attempt bevel cuts when dadoing. Never use dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a strange noise. Never attempt dado in other than wood. Never put hands over the dado blade.
Take every precaution to prevent kickback of the workpiece. Feed workpiece slowly, especially when cutting deep or wide grooves. When the dado head is hidden from view while cutting, your hands should never be on top of the workpiece. When using a dado blade, the saw blade guard assembly must be removed since there is not cut completely through the wood which will allow the spreader to pass through the workpiece.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when dado cutting.
Always stop the tool and wait for dado blade to come to a complete stop. Then simply withdraw the wood. Use a push stick. Use rip fence or miter gauge. Be alert for potential kickback conditions. Follow the dado blade set manufactures recommendations. When using a dado blade set, the depth of cut is not indicated by the pointer. To know the depth cut, you must measure it with a ruler. Be sure to place the saw blade guard assembly back in its original position and check adjustments when the dado cuts are completed.
A groove cut into the workpiece is called dado. This dado does not extend completely through the workpiece. The dado can be made in various widths and depths according to the need. A typical use for a dado is to make the groove for a shelf. A saw blade can be used to make a dado of any width by marking multiple cuts side by side. However, it is much easier to use a dado blade. The first has to small blades and a series of chips to the remove scrap between the blades. The second type consists of a small thick blade which is caused to wobble by its mounting hubs. This saw will accept dado blades of the cutter chip type to 6" (152 mm) in diameter and 1/2" (12.7 mm) in which. Most wobble type blades are too wide fit on the saw blade spindle safely. A dado blade requires a table insert which has wider opening. This dado insert is available as an optional accessory (refer to page 10). Purchase the dado blade set separately.
Mounting the dado blade set
Mounting the dado blade set (see Fig. 33), procedures as follows:
Workpiece
Dado Cutter

q Remove the saw blade guard assembly with the spreader.
w Remove the table insert.
e Dismount the saw blade.
rMount the dado blade with the teeth pointing down at the front of the table (Using the instructions with the dado blade set).
tMount the dado table insert (optional accessory), instead of the table insert.
CAUTION: While tightening the set nut (see Fig. 34), be careful to maintain the even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters. Rotate the dado blade one turn by hand to make sure that it does not contact anything before operation.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING: To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm that the switch is turned OFF and that the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the first sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineffective operation and possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION: Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate the power tool.

2. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 35 and Fig. 36)
The carbon brushes in the motor are expendable parts. If the carbon brushes become excessively worn, motor trouble might occur. Therefore, inspect the carbon brushes periodically and replace them. Check the carbon brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of carbon brush have been installed. After the first check, examine them after each about 10 hours of use until such time that replacement is necessary.
When the carbon on either brush is worn to 3/16" (5 mm) in length or if either spring or shunt wire is burned or damaged in any way, replace both carbon brushes (see Fig. 35). If the carbon brushes are found serviceable after removing, reinstall them in the same position as before removed. Also, keep the carbon brushes clean so that they will slide smoothly within the brush holders. The carbon brushes can easily be removed after removal of the brush caps (see Fig. 36) with a slotted (minus) screwdriver.

3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect each component of the power tool for looseness. Re-tighten mounting screws on any loose part.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, never operate the power tool if any components are loose.
4. Inspecting the saw blade guard for proper operation.
Before each use of the tool, test the saw blade guard (see Fig. 1) to assure that they are in good condition and that they move smoothly. Never use the tool unless the saw blade guard operates properly and unless they are in good mechanical condition. Ensure the anti-kickback pawls are always sharp so they dig into the workpiece to help prevent kickbacks. If any damage has occurred, repair it promptly.
5. Frequently clean the saw blade guard.
Wipe off saw dust attached to the inside of the see-through saw blade guard using a soft cloth. Do not use solvent (gasoline, thinner etc.), solvents will damage plastic parts.
6. Storage
Confirm that the switch is turned OFF, that the power plug has been removed from the receptacle and that the safety key has been removed and has been in a secure place, after operation of the tool has been completed. When the tool is not in use, keep it stored in a dry place out of the reach of children.
7. Lubrication
Lubricate the following moving parts and rotating parts once a month to keep the power tool in good operating condition for a long time (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Use of machine oil is recommended.
Oil supply points:
Rotary and moving portion of wheel
8. Cleaning
Periodically remove chips and other waste material from the surface of the power tool with a damp, soapy cloth. To avoid a malfunction of the motor, protect it from contact with oil or water.
