Table Saw Safety
1. Always use a s aw blade guard, splitt er and anti-kick back pawls for ev ery through–sawing oper ation.
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 push stick (provided with this saw), especiall y when ripping narrow stock . Refer to the
ripping instructions in this Operator’s Manu al where the push stick is covered in detail. A patter n for
making your own push stick is included on page 29.
4. Never perform any operation by freehand, 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 kickback and finger/hand amputations. Never
use the miter gauge and fence simultaneously.
5. Never stand or have any part of your bod y in lin e with the path of the saw blade. Keep your han ds 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.
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 sta lled saw blade with out first turning the sa w OFF. Turn power switch O FF
immediately to prevent motor damage.
12. Provide adequate support to the rear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
13. Avoid kic kback s (work thr own back towar ds you) b y keeping t he blade shar p, the rip f ence para llel to
the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and
functioning. Do not re lease work before passing it c ompletel y beyond the saw b lade. Do not rip work
that is twisted, warped or does not h ave a straig ht edg e to gu ide it alon g the f enc e. Do no t attem pt to
reverse out of a cut with the blade running.
14. Av oid awkward operat ions and hand posit ions where a sudd en slip could cause your hand to move
into the saw blade.
15. Never use solvents to cle an plastic parts. Sol vents could possib ly dissolve or otherwis e 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.
17. Never cut metals or materials that may make hazardous dust.
18. Alwa ys use in a well-venti lated ar ea. Rem ove sawdust f requentl y. Clean out sawd ust from the interior
of the saw to preve nt a potenti al fire ha zard. Attach a vacuum to t he dust port f or addit ional sawd ust
removal.
19. Never leave the saw runni ng unattended. Do not leav e the saw until the blade com es to a complete
stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual.
Note: On machines with no s tand or if a s tand is not b e in g use d , a ho le ap pr oxim ately 11 in. square must
be cut under the saw t o allow sawdust to f all through. Failure to cut this h ole will cause s awdust to build
up in the motor area, resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage.

Definitions and Terminology
Arbor: Metal shaft that connects the drive
mechanism to the blade.
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilt of the saw arbor and blade
between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting
operation.
Blade Guard: Mechanism mounted over the saw
blade to prevent accidental contact with the cutting
edge.
Crosscut: Sawing operation in which the miter
gauge is used to cut across the grain of the
workpiece.
Dado Blade: Blade(s) used for cutting grooves and
rabbets.
Dado Cut: Flat bottomed groove in the face of the
workpiece made with a dado blade.
Featherboard: Device used to keep a board
against the rip fence or table that allows the
operator to keep hands away from the saw blade.
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw
blade.
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is lifted
up and thrown back toward an operator, caused
when a work piece binds on the saw blade or
between the saw blade and rip fence (or other fixed
object). To minimize or prevent injury from
kickbacks, see the Operating Instructions section.
Miter Gauge: A component that controls the
workpiece movement while performing a crosscut
of various angles.
Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that
requires the lowering of the splitter and removal of
the blade guard and kick-back pawls, resulting in a
cut that does not protrude through the top of the
workpiece (includes Dado and rabbet cuts).
The blade guard and kick-back pawls must be reinstalled and splitter raised after performing a nonthrough cut to avoid accidental contact with the
saw blade during operation.
Parallel: Position of the rip fence equal in distance
at every point to the side face of the saw blade.
Perpendicular: 90° (right angle) intersection or
position of the vertical and horizontal planes such
as the position of the saw blade (vertical) to the
table surface (horizontal).
Push Board/Push Stick: An instrument used to
safely push the workpiece through the cutting
operation.
Rabbet: A cutting operation that creates an
L-shaped channel along the edge of the board.
Rip Cut: A cut made along the grain of the
workpiece.

Electrical
Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least res istance f or
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equip pe d with an elec tric cor d
having an equipment-gr oun ding c onductor an d a
grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a m atching outle t
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided – if it wil l not fit
the outlet, have t he proper outlet installed b y a
qualified electrician.
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 conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-gr ounding c onductor to 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 grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the 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 your machine wil l 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 rating. If in d oubt, 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 from the factory, your table saw is
ready to run at 115-volt operation. This table
saw, when wired for 115 vo lt, is intende d for use
on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that
looks like the one il lustrated in (A). A tem porary
adapter, which looks like the adapter shown in
(B), may be used t o connect this plug to 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 tab, extend ing from the
adapter, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Adjusting the Miter Gauge
Referring to Figure 24:
1. Loosen the lock handle (B) to allow the miter
body (C) to rotate freely. Position the miter
body at 90° so the positive detent secures its
position. Tighten th e loc k hand le (B) to hold the
miter body in position.
2. If the pointer (A) requires adjustment, loosen
the screw under the poi nter with a screwdr iver.
Adjust the pointer to 90° on the scale, then
firmly tighten the adjustment screw.
To change angles on the miter gauge:
3. Loosen the loc k handle ( B) and rotat e the miter
body to the desired angle as indicated by the
scale. Secure in pos ition by tightening the lock
handle.
Rip Fence Adjustment
Referring to Figure 25:
1. For adjustm ents, position the f ence to the right
of the blade, parallel with the miter gauge slot.
2. Place the rear clamp (A) of the fence on the
back rail of the table, and lower the front end
over the front rail (E). Push the handle (F)
down to lock.
3. T o change the position of the fence, lift up on
the handle to unlock , and slide the f ence to the
desired position, th en push the hand le down to
lock.
4. To check the rip fence adjustment, place the
fence along one edge of the miter gauge
groove, and lock the handle. It should be
parallel to the miter groove to provide accura te
cuts.
If an adjustment is needed to make it parallel:
1. Loosen the two hex bolts (C) on the top of the
rip fence, and lift up on the handle (F).
2. Adjust the fence ( B) so it is parallel to t he miter
gauge slot and lock the handle (F) into position.
3. Make sure the fence (B) is parallel to the slot
and tighten the two hex bolts (C) securely.
4. Unlock the fence handle (F) and slide th e fenc e
left and right, then reposition it against the miter
gauge slot again and lock into position to
double check its alignment.
Failure to properly align the fence can cause
“kickback” and serious injury could occur.

If the fence is loose when the handle is in the
locked position:
1. Move the handle upward to the unlocked
position.
2. Turn the adjusting scr ew (D) clock wise until th e
rear clamp is snug.
3. Do not turn the adjusti ng screw more than 1/4
turn at a time.
4. Over-tightening the screw will cause the rip
fence to come out of alignment.
21
Rip Fence Indicator
The rip fence indicator points to the scale on the
front of the table saw. The m easurement shown b y
the indicator wil l provide the user with accurac y up
to 1/16 of an inch. The m easurement shown is the
distance from the blade to the side of the fence
closest to the blade.
To check the accuracy:
1. Measure the actual distance to the side of the
rip fence.
If there is a difference between the measurement
and the indicator, adjust the indicator as follows:
2. Loosen the indicator screw (A, Fig. 26).
3. Slide the indicator to th e correct measurement
position on the scale, then retighten the screw.
Table Extension Scale Pointer
The table extension scale pointer (A, Fig. 27)
should be at 13 inches on the scale when the
extension is in the closed position. If adjustment is
required, loosen the holding screw (B, Fig. 27),
position the pointer over the 13 inch m ark er and r etighten the screw.
Rear Table Extension Adjustment
The rear table extension (A, Fig. 28) should be
positioned as close as possible to the rear of the
table when ripping short material.
Figure 26

5. If the removab le safet y key is r emoved wh ile the
saw is running, it c an be turned OFF but cannot
be restarted without inserting the removable
safety key (A).
Figure 31
Overload Protection
This saw has an overload reset button (C, Fig. 31)
that resets the motor after it shuts off due to
overloading or low vo ltage. If the m otor stops during
operation, turn the ON / OFF switch to the OFF
position. Wait about five minutes for the motor to
cool, the push the res et button (C, Fig. 31) a nd turn
the switch to the ON position.
Dust Chute
To prevent fire hazard, clean and remove
sawdust from under the saw frequently.
To prevent sawdust bui ldup inside the sa w housing,
attach a vacuum hose (A, Fig. 32) to the dust chute
(B, Fig. 32) at the rear of the table saw. DO NOT
operate the saw with the hose in place unless the
vacuum is turned on.
On/Off Switch
The ON / OFF switch has a removable safety key.
With the key removed fr om the switch, unauthori zed
and hazardous use by children and others is
minimized.
Referring to Figure 31:
1. To tur n the saw ON, ins ert the saf ety switch k ey
(A) into the slot in the switch (B). Move the
switch upward to the ON position.
2. To turn the saw OFF, move the switch
downward.
3. To lock the switch in the O FF pos ition, grasp th e
end (or yellow par t) of the safet y switch key (A),
and pull it out.
4. With the removable safety key removed, the
switch will not operate.

For rip cuts greater than 1 3 in., set and the lock the
fence on the 13 in. m ark. Unlock the extension tab le ,
and slide the table with the fence to the desired
dimension using the scale on the rear rail.
Referring to Figure 33:
1. Release the cam locking lever (A).
2. Slide the table extension to the desired
measurement and the n tighten the cam locking
lever.
23
Figure 33
Cutting Operations
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 t he blade so it is about 1/8 i n. higher than
the top of the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece flat o n the ta bl e an d a gai ns t
the fence. Keep the workpiece away from the
blade.
5. T urn the sa w ON and wait for the blade to com e
to full speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by
pushing forward only on the workpiece section
(A, Fig. 34) that will pass between the blad e and
the fence.
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). Ripping re quires the use of the rip f ence,
and crosscutting requires the miter gauge. NEVER USE THE TWO ATTHE SAME TIME.
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
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing
forward on the section of the workpiece that
passes between the blade and the fence. Never
perform any freehand operations.
Figure 34
Referring to Figure 35:
7. Keep your thum bs of f the t a ble t op. W hen bot h of
your thumbs touch t he f ront edg e of the t abl e (C),
finish the cut with a push stick. To make an
additional push stick, use the pattern on page 29.
8. The push stick (D) should always be used for
any ripping operation.
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.
9. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push
stick (D) until it passes through th e 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.
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 s aw and wait for the bl ade (C) to com e
up to full speed. Never stand directly in line of
the saw blade path, a lways stand to the side of
the blade that you are cutting on.
5. Kee p the workpiece (B) against the f ace of the
miter gauge (A) and flat against the table . Then
slowly push the workpiece through the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the
blade turning. Turn the switch OFF, and
carefully slide the work piece 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 injur y from blade c ontact, never m ake cuts
narrower than 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 safel y pass between the blad e and
the rip fence, use one or more push sticks to
move the workpiece. Always use a push stick
during ripping operations.
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 aux iliary facing (A) to make it easier to cut very
long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of
straight wood, drill two holes through it and attach it
to the miter gauge with scre ws. Make sure the facing
does not interfere with the proper operation of the
sawblade guard. When cutting long work pieces, you
can make a simple outfeed support by clamping a
piece of plywood to 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. Rem ove the rip fenc e and plac e the m iter gauge
in the miter gauge slot on the table.
2. Adj ust the blade he ight so that it is 1/8 in. hig her
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.
This sawing operation c ombin es a m iter angle with a
bevel angle.
Always work to the right side of
the blade during this type of cut. The miter
gauge must be in the right side groove because
the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to
interfere with the cut if used on the left side
groove.
1. Set the miter gauge (C) to the desired angle.
2. Place t he miter gauge in the r ight side groove of
the table.
2. Set the miter gauge (A) at the desired miter
angle and lock in posit ion by tig htening th e miter
gauge locking handle.
3. Hold the work piece (C ) firml y against th e face of
the miter gauge throughout the cutting
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 the rip
fence (C, Fig. 41).
1. Use a sm ooth straight 3/4 in. thick 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 woo d f enc e s hould be us e d
when ripping material such as thin paneling to
prevent the material f rom catching between the
bottom of the fence and the table.
3. Set the blade (B) bevel to the desired bevel
angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.
4. Hold workpiece (A) firmly against the f ace of the
miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
Figure 39
Mitering 0°~45° Miter Angle
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting
except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other
than 90°.
Figure 41
Dado Cuts
The maximum dado cut width is 13/16 in.
Only Stackable dado blades can
be used on this saw.
DO NOT use Adjustable or Wobble
type dadoes.
Referring to Figure 42:

1. Remove the saw blade and the blade g uard for
dado cuts ONLY. Reinstall and realign blade
guard for all thr ough- sawing operations. Instal l
a dado not exceeding 6 in. diameter and 13/16
in. width.
2. Install a dado table insert m aking sure that the
rear of the insert is flush with the table.
Note: A dado table insert i s not inc luded b ut can
be ordered (SN 707001) by calling th e number
on the cover of this manual.
3. Instructions for operating the dado is packed
with the separately purchased dado set.
4. T he arbor (B) on this saw res tricts the m axim um
width of the cut to 13/16 in.
5. It is not necessar y to install the outs ide flange (A)
before threading on the arbor nut (C) for the
maximum 13/16 in. dado cuts. Make sure that the
arbor nut (C) is ti ght, and th at at least on e thread
of the arbor sticks out past the nut.
6. Use only the correct number of round outside
blades and inside chippers as shown in the dado
set’s instruction manual. Blade/chippers must
not exceed 13/16 in. total in width.
7. Check the saw to ensure that the dado will not
strike the housing, insert, or motor when in
operation.
For your own safety, always
replace the blade, blade guard assembly, and
table insert when you are finished with the dado
operation.

the brushes go bac k in the way they came out. This
will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.

Lubrication
All motor bearin gs are perm anently lubricat ed at the
factory and require no additional lubrication.
On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a
pivot or threaded rod is present, lubricate using
graphite or silico ne. These dr y lubricants will not hold
sawdust as would oil or grease.
