Warning

1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with

all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This Table Saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only.

If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a Table Saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this Table Saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool

Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this Table Saw. Everyday eyeglasses

only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this Table Saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up

past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Always use the blade guard on all ''through-sawing'' operations. A through-sawing operation is one in

which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

9. Kickback occurs when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If you do

not have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!

10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

11. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities

contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

•

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

12. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

13. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

14. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

15. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

17. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance

purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

18. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

20. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

22. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are

careless acts that can result in serious inj ury.

24. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall into the blade or other moving parts. Do

not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

25. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for

which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.

26. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

27. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

28. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do

not use your hands.

29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

30. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it

comes to a complete stop.

31. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

32. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.

33. Use a push-stick when required.

34. Pay particular attention to instructions on reducing risk of kickback.

35. Do not perform any operation freehand.

36. Never reach around or over saw blade.

37. Don’t use in dangers environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet location, or expose them to

rain. Keep work area well lighted.

Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:

This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or

possible machine damage.

This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious injury or possibly

even death.

- - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - -

The most common accidents among table saw users, according to statistics, can be

linked to kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from the table that can strike the operator. Kickback can also result in operator’s hands being pulled into the blade.

Kickback Prevention

Tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback:

• Make sure the blade splitter is always

aligned with the blade. A workpiece can bind or stop the flow of the cut if the blade splitter is misaligned and result in kickback.

• Use the blade splitter during every cut. The

blade splitter maintains the kerf in the workpiece, which will reduce the chance of kickback.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece

must be fed perfectly parallel with the blade, otherwise kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or crosscut fence to support the workpiece.

• Make sure that the rip fence is parallel with

the blade. If not, the chances of kickback are very high. Take the time to check and adjust the rip fence.

• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime

you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the middle of a cut, the chance of binding, resulting in kickback, is greatly increased.

Protection Tips from Kickback

Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to protect you if kickback DOES occur:

• Stand to the side of the blade when cutting. An ejected workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.

• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your eyes and face are the most vulnerable part of your body.

• Never place your hand behind the blade. If kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled into the blade.

• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther away from the moving blade. If a kickback occurs, the push stick will most likely take the damage that your hand would have received.

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.

Freehand: If used hand to move workpiece is danger. Devices used to feed the workpiece though the saw blade during cutting operations. A push stick (not a push block) should be used for narrow ripping operations. These aids help keep the operator’s hands well away from the 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.

The blade guard and splitter must be re-installed after performing a non-through 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.

Splitter: Metal plate to which the blade guard is attached that maintains the kerf opening in the workpiece when performing a cutting operation.

Standard Kerf: 1/8" gap made with a standard blade.

Straightedge: A tool used to check that a surface is flat or parallel.

Through Sawing: A sawing operation in which the workpiece thickness is completely sawn through. Proper blade height usually allows 1/8" of the top of blade to extend above the wood stock. Keep the blade guard down, the antikickback pawls down, and the spreader in place over the blade.

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that requires the removal of the blade guard splitter, resulting in a cut that does not pro trude through the top of the workpiece (includes Dado and rabbet cuts).
