MOUNTING TABLE SAW TO WORKBENCH

If you do not want to use the supplied stand and you prefer to mount the table
saw in a permanent location, it should be fastened securely to a firm
supporting surface such as a workbench, using the four mounting holes
supplied in the base. An opening MUST be made the same size as the
opening under the table saw base. This opening will prevent dust
accumulation inside the table saw base.

MOUNTING TABLE SAW TO STAND

Place table saw onto stand with base rubber feet installed (reduces
vibrations) and secure the table saw to stand using 4 hex. bolts (G) Fig.4,
washers (H) and hex. nuts (I).

MOUNTING BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY

The blade guard comes completely assembled and gets mounted at the rear
of the table saw to the support bracket assembly (A) Fig.5, but first the
support bracket assembly must be installed to the extension rod and pivoting
shaft which protrudes out of the rear of the table.

Push the support bracket assembly onto the pivoting shaft and rod and Install
a washer and cap screw (B) Fig.5 into the end of the pivot shaft to keep the
support bracket in place, then tighten the 4 cap screws (C) to secure the
support bracket assembly. Further adjustments will be necessary
screws loose at this time.

Now install the blade guard splitter (A) Fig.6 behind the 2 cap screws (B) found
on the support bracket. Before tightening the 2 cap screws, it is important to
set the blade guard splitter height, the gap above the blade should be
approximately 1/8” - 3/16” parallel to the saw blade at the top most position.
Secure the 2 cap screws once the height is adjusted properly.

IMPORTANT: The blade guard splitter must be properly aligned with the
centre of the blade (aligned with blade kerf). Using a straight edge, check if the
splitter is aligned with the blade. Adjust if necessary. Once properly adjusted,
tighten all cap screws in Fig.5.

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

MOUNTING RIP FENCE ON TABLE & ADJUSTMENTS

Position the rip fence from the outside on the table saw table so that the rear clip
(A) Fig.7 engages under the table and the clamping body (A) Fig.8 engages the
front groove of the table saw as shown. If you are unable to do this, loosen front
adjust screw (B) Fig.8 2-3 turns counterclockwise to widen the space between
the clip and the clamping body and try again. Lock rip fence to table by lowering

ip fence lock handle (C). Slightly tighten the front adjust screw (B) to bring rear

r
clip closer to the rear table edge until a good fit is obtained.

To reduce the risks of kickback, the rip fence must be perfectly parallel to the
blade. Unlock rip fence by raising lock handle (C) Fig.8. Loosen both hex. bolts
(D) on top of the rip fence. Align the rip fence with the blade and retighten both
hex. bolts (D). Adjust the rip fence pointer (E) to the same marking by loosening
pointer screw (F) and repositioning pointer.

MOUNTING AND ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE

When crosscutting and the blade is set at 900or 450to the table, the miter gauge
can be used in either T-slot on the table. When crosscutting and the blade is
tilted, use T-slot on right side of table where the blade is tilted away from your
hands and miter gauge.

1. To adjust the miter gauge, loosen lock handle (A) Fig.9 and set the miter gauge
body with scale (B) so the indicator (C) on the bar aligns to the desired cutting
angle, then retighten lock handle.

OPERATION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION

The operation of power tools involves a certain amount of hazard for the operator. Before attempting regular work we recommend you get the

eel of operations using scrap lumber to check settings. Read entire instructions before you start to cut workpiece. Always pay attention to safety

f
precautions to avoid personal injury.

PERATION

O

Plain sawing includes ripping and crosscutting, plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. The methods on this page feature
safety. As with all power tools there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the tool. Using the tool with the respect
and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal
safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can develop. It is good practice to make trial cuts using
scrap material when setting up you saw for operation.

CROSSCUTTING

Crosscutting requires the use of the miter gauge to position and guide the work. Place the work against the miter gauge and advance both the
miter gauge and work toward the saw blade. The miter gauge may be used in either table T-slot, however, most operators prefer the left groove
for average work. When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the right side table T-slot so that it doesn’t interfere with the tilted saw blade. The blade
guard must be used. The guard has anti-kickback fingers and a splitter to prevent the saw kerf from closing.

Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter gauge and the table. One of the rules in running a saw is that you never hang onto
or touch a free piece of work. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that is cut off. The feed in crosscutting continues until the work is cut
in two, then the miter gauge and work are pulled back to the starting point. Before pulling the work back it is good practice to give the work a little
sideways shift to move the work slightly away from the saw blade.

Never pick up any short length of free work from the table while the saw is running. A smart operator never touches a cut-off piece unless it is at
least a foot long. Never use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

RIPPING

Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board, the rip fence is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work
rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rest on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge
and make solid contact with the table.
from closing.

Start the motor and advance the work holding it down and against the fence. Never, stand in the line of the saw cut when ripping. Hold the work
with both hands and push it along the fence and into the saw blade. The work can then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands.

When this is done the work will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear end of the guard or slide off the table to the floor.
Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the table, after which the work is lifted and brought back along the outside edge of the fence. The
waste stock remains on the table and is not touched with the hands until the saw is stopped unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

USING DADO SET (DADO SET AND DADO TABLE INSERT NOT INCLUDED)

WARNING! Do not use adjustable (wooble) type Dado sets or carbide tipped Dado blades, only use stackable dado blade sets having
a maximum diameter of 6”. Maximum Dado width is 13/16”.

Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside blades and four or five inside cutters.
Various combination of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8” to 13/16” (maximum Dado capacity is 13/16”) for use in shelving,
making joints, tenoning, grooving, ect.
up for dadoing operations, the blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback finger assembly and table insert must be removed and an optional dado
