Table Saw Safety
1. Always use a saw blade g uard, splitt er and anti-kickb ack pawls for every t hrough–sawing operatio n.
Through–sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece
when ripping or crosscutting. Always be sure the blade guard is tightened securely.
2. Always hold work firmly against the miter gauge or rip fence.
3. Always use a p ush stick (pr ovided with t his saw), especially w hen ripping narrow stock. Refer to the
ripping i nstructions in t his Operator’s M anual w here the push st ick is cover ed in det ail. A patt ern for
making your own push stick is included o n page 29.
4. Never perfor m any operatio n by freehand, w hich means using only your hands to support or guide the
workpiece. Alway s use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work .
Warning: Freehand cutting is the major cause of kickback and finger/hand amputations. Never
use the miter gauge and fence simultaneously.
5. Never stand or have any part of y our body in line wit h 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 crosscutt i ng.
8. Do not use a molding head with this saw.
9. Feed work into the blade against t he directio n of rotation o nly.
10. Never use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting.
11. Never att empt to f ree a stalled saw blade w ithout first turning t he saw OFF. Tur n power switc h OFF
immediately to pr event motor damage.
12. Provide adeq uate support to the r ear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide work pieces.
13. Avoid kickbacks (w or k t hrown back t owards you) by keep i ng t he blade sharp, the rip fence par al lel to
the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and
functioning. Do not rel ease w or k bef or e passing it completely bey ond the saw bla de. Do not rip work
that is twist ed, warped or does not have a str aig ht edge to guide it along the fence. Do not attempt t o
reverse out of a cut with the blade running.
14. Avoid awkwar d operatio ns and hand positio ns where a s udde n slip could c ause your hand to move
into the saw blade.
15. Never use solve nts to clean plastic par ts. Solvents could possib ly dissol ve or otherwise da mage the
material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.
16. Mount your table saw on a bench or st and before per f or ming any cut ting operations.
17. Never cut metals or materials that may make hazardous dust.
18. Always use i n a well- ventilat ed ar ea. Remove sawdust fr equently. Clean out sawdust from the interior
of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard. Att ach a vacuum to t he dust port f or additional sawdust
removal.
19. Never leave t he saw running unattended. Do not leave t he saw until t he blade comes to a co mplete
stop.
20. For pr oper oper at ion follow the ins t ructions in this Operat or ’s M anual.
Note: O n machi nes with no st and or if a st and is not being used, a hole approxi mately 11 i n. square must
be cut under the saw to allow sa wdust to f all throug h. Fail ure to cut this hole will ca us e sa wd ust t o build
up in t he motor area, r esulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage.

Electrical
Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding pro vides a path of least r esist ance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is eq uipped w ith an electric cor d
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance wit h all local codes and ordi nances.
Do not modify the plug pro vided – if it will not f it
the outlet, ha ve the proper outlet installed by a
qualified ele c trician.
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conduc tor. If r epair or replaceme nt of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect t he equipment-gr ounding conductor t o a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly gr ounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept t he tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Figure A
Extension Cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current yo ur mac hine will draw . An undersized
cord will cause a drop in the line voltage
resulting in power loss and overheating. The
table below shows the correct size to use
depending on the cord length and nameplate
ampere rati ng. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Cord Length AWG00 – 25ft 016 225 – 50ft 014
Important: Make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a registered electrician check the
receptacle.
115 Volt Operation Only
Referring to Figure A:
As received f rom the factor y, your table saw is
ready to run at 115-volt operation. This table
saw, w hen wired for 115 volt, is inte nded for use
on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that
looks like t he one ill ustrated i n (A). A tempor ary
adapter, which looks like the adapter show n in
(B), may be used to connect this pl ug t o a twopole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. This
adapter is not applicab le in Canada. The green
colored rigid ear , lug, or t ab, extending from t he
adapter, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet bo x.

Figure 33
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. (It is not safe to rip or crosscut by
freehand). Ripp ing requires t he use of the rip fence,
and crosscutting requires t he miter gauge. NEVER USE THE TWO ATTHE SAME TIME.
1. Remove the miter gauge and store it in the
“stor age” compart ment in the base of the saw.
2. Secure the rip fence to the table.
3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in. higher than
the top of the wor kpiece.
4. Place the work piece flat on the table and against
the fence. Keep the workpiece away from the
blade.
5. Turn the saw ON and wait f or the blade to come
to full speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by
pushing forward only on the workpiece section
(A, Fig. 34) t hat w ill pass betwee n the blade and
the fence.
AVOID KICKBACK by push ing
forward on the section of the workpiece that
passes between the blade and the fence. Never
perform any freehand operations.
Before using the saw each time,
check the following:
• The blade is tightened to the arbor.
• The bevel angle lock knob is tightened.
• If ripping, make sure the fence is locked into
position and is parallel to the miter gauge
slot.
•The blade guard is in place and working
properly.
• Safety glasses are worn.
• 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
To prevent serious injury:
• Never use a miter gauge when ripping.
• Never use more than one rip fence during a
single cut.
•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.
Figure 34
Referring to Figure 35:
7. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of
your thumbs touch the f r ont edge of the table (C),
finish the cut with a push stick. To make an
additional pus h stick, use t he pattern on page 29.
8. The push stick (D) should always be used for
any ripping operatio n.
9. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push
stick (D) until it passes t hro ugh the blad e 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.
Never attempt to pull the
workpiece backwards during a cutting operation.
This will cause kickback and serious injury to
the user can occur. When the blade completely
24
stops, raise the anti-kickback pawls (A) on each
side of the splitter and slide the workpiece out.
Figure 35
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (C) to come
up to full speed. Never stand directly in line of
the saw b lade pat h, always st and t o t he side of
the blade that you are cutting on.
5. Keep t he w orkpiece (B) agai nst the face of t he
miter gauge ( A) a nd flat agai nst the tabl e. T hen
slowly push the workpiece t hroug h the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back wit h t he
blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and
carefully slide the wor kpiece out when the blade
has completely stopped.
Always position the larger surface
of the work-piece on the table when crosscutting
and/or bevel crosscutting to avoid instability.
Bevel Ripping
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade
bevel angle is set to an angle other than “0º.
Ripping Small Pieces
To avoid injury fr om blade contact, never make cuts
narrower t han 1/2 in. 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 saf ely pass between the blade a nd
the rip fence, use one or more push sticks to
move the workpiece. Always use a push stick
during ripping operatio ns.
Crosscutting
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 the path of the blade.
Figure 36
Using Wood Facing on the Miter Gauge
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching
an auxiliary facing (A) to make it easier to cut very
long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of
straight wood, drill t wo holes t hro ugh it a nd at ta ch it
to the miter gauge with screws. Make sure the facing
does not interfere with the proper operation of the
sawblade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you
can make a simple outfeed support by clamping a
piece of plywood t o a sawhorse.
Never attempt to pull the
workpiece backwards during a cutting operation.
This will cause kickback and serious injury to the
user can occur.
Referring to Figure 36:
1. Remove the rip f ence and place t he m iter gauge
in the miter gauge slot on the table.
2. Adjust the bla de height so that it is 1/ 8 in. higher
than the top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter
gauge with the blade path in line with the
desired cut location.
Figure 37
Bevel Crosscutting 0°~45° Blade Level & 90° Miter
Ang le
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting
except the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.
Always work to the right side of
the blade during this type of cut. The miter
gauge must be in the right side slot because the
bevel angle may cause the blade guard to
25
interfere with the cut if used on the left side
groove.
1. Set the blade (B) t o 0° bevel angle a nd t ighten
the blade bevel lock knob.
Referring to Figure 38:

operation.
Figure 40
Using the Wood Facing on the Rip Fence
When performing some special cutting operations,
you can add a wood f acing to either side of t he r ip
fence (C, Fig. 41).
1. Use a smoot h s traight 3/4 i n. t hick wood board
(A, Fig. 41) that is as long as the rip fence.
2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood
screws (B, Fig. 41) (not included) through the
holes in the fence. A wood fence s hould be used
when ripping material such as thin paneling to
prevent the materia l from catc hi ng between the
bottom of the fence and the table.

After every five hours of oper at ion, t he blade raising
mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked
for looseness, binding, or any other abnormalities.
Referring Fig ure 43:
1. With the saw disconnected from the power
source, turn the saw ups ide d own and pull up
and push down on the motor unit.
2. Observe any movement of the motor mounting
mechanism. Looseness or play in the blade raising
screw r od (A ) should be li m i t ed to 1/8” or less.
3. If excessive looseness is obser ved i n a ny other
parts of the blade raising mechanism or tilting
mec ha nis m, t a ke the c o mpl et e u nit t o a Se r vic e
Center.
Place a s mall amount of dry lubricant on t he bevel
gear (B). The screw rod ( A) must be kept clean and
free of sawdust, gum, pitc h, and other conta minants
for smooth operations.
Figure 43
If excessive loose ness is observed in any par t of the
blade raisi ng m echanism or tilting mec ha nism, take
the complete unit to a Service Center.
Lubrication
All motor beari ngs are permanently l ubricated at the
factor y and require no additional lubrication.
On all mec hanical parts of yo ur table saw where a
pivot or threaded rod is present, lubricate using
graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not
hold sawdust as would oil or grease.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes
Always disconnect the plug from
the power source before inspecting the brushes.
The carbon brushes included with the unit will last
appr oximat ely 5 0 hours of running tim e, or 10,000 ON/
OFF cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when either
has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining, or if
the s pring or wire is damaged or burned.
1. Remove t he blade guard, blad e, rip f ence, miter
gauge and stand assembly from the table saw.
2. Place cardboard or an old blanket on the floor t o
protect the saw table surface.
3. Place the saw upside down on the protective
material.
4. Tilt the b l ade elevat i on/tilti ng handwhee l ( A, Fig. 44)
to the 4 5 ° posi tion.

5. Referring to Figure 45:
6. Remove the black plastic cap ( B) from the side
of the motor (C).
7. Carefully remove the spring-loaded cap, and
then pull out the brush and replace.
8. Replace the other side.
9. The ears o n the metal e nd of t he asse mbly go i n
the same hole the carbon part fits into. Do not
overtighte n the plastic cap.
Push Stick Construction
Use solid wood or good quality plywood t o construct
a push stick using the template below. The push
stick must be thi nner than the width of t he material
being cut.
10. Carefully set the saw in an upright positio n o n a
clean level surface.
11. Replace the blade g uard, blade, rip fe nce, miter
gauge and stand assembly to the table saw .
Note: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure
the brushes go back in the way they came out. This
will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.

Lubrication
All motor beari ngs are permanently l ubricated at the
factor y and require no additional lubrication.
On all mecha nical parts of your table saw where a
pivot or threaded rod is present, lubricate using
gra phite or s ilicone. These dr y lubricants will not hold
sawdust as would oil or gr ease.
