USA007-2

(For All Tools)

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s

manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Don’t use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be

kept safe distance from work area.

7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks,

master switches, or by removing starter keys.

8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment

to do a job for which it was not designed.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, 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.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If

it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a

power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user – as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

USB059-1

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1. Wear eye protection.

2. Don’t use the tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive cut-off wheel installed.

4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.

5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface) and hex nut before installing the blade. Poor installation may cause vibration/ wobbling or slippage of the blade.

6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing operations. Always assemble and install the blade guard following the step by step instructions out-lined in this manual. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. NEVER use the tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.

7. Immediately reattach the guard and spreader after completing an operation which requires removal of the guard.

8. Do not cut metals such as nails and screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign matter from the workpiece before operation.

9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from the table before the switch is turned on.

10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.

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

12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in line with the path of the saw blade.

13. Make sure the blade is not contacting the spreader or workpiece before the switch is turned on.

14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

15. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running. Disconnect tool before making any adjustments.

16. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces to keep your hands and fingers well away from the blade.

17. Pay particular attention to instructions for reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of the workpiece from the tool back towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard in place and operating properly, by not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

18. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge.

19. NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has completely stopped.

20. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.

21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade or touch the blade guard while the blade is running.

22. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece BEFORE beginning to cut.

23. Don’t abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.

24. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

25. The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that

guard hood is down and flat against sawtable before plugging in the tool.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and

push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or fingers will come close to the blade.

• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and

the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.

• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is

running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.

• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is

running.

• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of

the saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel cuts.

• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous

kickbacks may occur.

• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and

push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces, or when the dado head is hidden from view while cutting.

Work helpers

Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of “work helpers”. Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with any part of the body.

A wood facing should be used for operations when the blade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the rip fence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make sure the bottom of facing is flush with the table surface.

Ripping

CAUTION:

• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the

table.

• When cutting long or large workpieces, always

provide adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow a long board to move or shift on the table. This will cause the blade to bind and increase the possibility of kickback and personal injury. The support should be at the same height as the table.

Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that the antikickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tool off and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the blade guard and along both sides of the blade to simulate cutting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each side by pulling it toward you. The antikickback pawls should grab the workpiece and prevent it from moving back toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback pawls sharp so they will operate properly. Keep them sharp by using a roundshaped file to maintain the original shape of the pawls.

1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thick-

ness of the workpiece.

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and

lock in place by lowering the grip. Before ripping, make sure the rear end of the rip fence is secured firmly. If it is not secured enough, follow the proce-

006886

dures in the section titled “Installing and adjusting rip fence”.

3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into

the blade along with the rip fence. (1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6”) and

wider, carefully use your right hand to feed the workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiece in position against the rip fence.

006887

(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-

1/2” - 6”) wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece.

table. Continue to feed using the push block on the top of the auxiliary fence until the cut is complete.

Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

• Secure the knob on the miter gauge carefully.

• Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm

workholding arrangement, especially when cutting at an angle.

• NEVER hold or grasp the intended “cut-off” portion

of the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a holder cap opener to remove the brush holder caps. To replace the carbon brush in the side near the table, lower the blade as far as possible by turning the handle. Loosen the lock lever, tilt the blade and secure it at 45°. Then loosen the brush holder cap while viewing it through the opening of the base. Remove the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.

After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita service center for repair.

To install the dado head set, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the tool off and unplug it before installing.

2. Remove the blade guard with the spreader.

3. Install the dado head set with the teeth pointing

down at the front of the table.

4. Use the chart below to select the proper cutters to

obtain the various cutting widths.

When cutting grooves 5/16”, 3/8”,7/16” or 1/2” use this table insert instead of the standard table insert.

CAUTION:

• For a 1/8” cut width, the outside cutter is assembled

to the spindle in the same manner as the saw blade.

• The outer flange or the dado outer flange must be

used for each cut width.

• The hex nut alone must not be used to secure the

dado on to the spindle.

NOTE:

• When widths slightly greater than the above are

required, fit the paper washers in between the inside and outside cutters to adjust the width.

5. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cut-

ters are positioned at the gullets of the outside cutter. When more than one inside cutter is used, space the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause vibration and noise.

006178

When installing two outside cutters without any inside cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each other.

6. While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain

the even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters.

7. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make

sure that it does not contact anything before operation.

When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots or cracks.

Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in contact with the rip fence and table as shown, and to stop kickbacks.

2. Facing board

3. Push stick

4. Featherboard

To install featherboards, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the tool off and unplug it.

2. Add 8” high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full

length of the rip fence.

3. Mount featherboards to the rip fence and table as

shown, so that the leading edges of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is completed, and the workpiece has been pushed completely past the cutter with a push stick.

4. Make sure featherboards are securely attached.

CAUTION:

• Only the Makita dado head set (Part No. 191543-4)

should be used with Makita table saw Model 2702/ Model 2703. Do not use dado combinations wider than 13 mm (1/2”).

• After dadoing, ALWAYS replace the blade guard

with the spreader back in its original position on the table saw.

• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.

• NEVER dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a

strange noise.

• NEVER attempt dados in other than wood.

• Do not use the dado set for cut-offs.

• Feed work slowly, especially when cutting deep or

wide grooves or dados. If a deep cut is needed, make several passes through the workpiece rather than one deep, wide cut. Fast or abrupt feeds can be dangerous.

• Use a push stick. When the dado head is hidden

from view while cutting, your hands should never be on top of the stock.

• A very dangerous throwback can result if the wood

becomes stuck and you try to remove it by pulling toward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dado head to come to a complete stop. Then simply withdraw the wood.

WARNI NG:

• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is

removed for any non-through sawing operation such as dadoing, rabbeting or re-sawing. Replace guard immediately after non-through sawing is completed.

How to perform rabbeting

006183

1. Rabbet

2. Second cut

3. First cut

1. Remove blade guard.

2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run

the length of the stock. Facing should be as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade to desired dimensions.

3. First cut: Hold board flat on table as in ordinary rip-

ping.

4. Second cut: Set workpiece on its edge. (Use feath-

erboards, push stick, push block and so on, using precautions, safety rules and guidelines for ripping or related work.)

5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece is less than

10-1/2” wide, rest the wood flat on the table against the miter gauge (with wood facing). The rip fence should not be used.

6. After rabbeting is completed, immediately re-install

the blade guard as before.
