GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For All Tools)
4
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 accidentally
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.
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 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.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
22. 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.

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 outlined 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
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.
6
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
work-
pieces. 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 working 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade
and blade guard not in the installed condition. Assemble
as follows:
CAUTION:
• Always unplug the tool before assembly.
Installing saw blade
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut
counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the
outer flange.
Assemble the inner flange, blade, outer flange and hex
nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of the
blade are pointing down at the front of the table. Always
install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the outer
flange.
CAUTION:
• Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other adhering
matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be sure that the
blade is installed so that the teeth are aligned in the cutting (turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with
the offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise
with the wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
NUT SECURELY.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to hold the hex nut carefully with the wrench.
If your grip should slip, the wrench may come off the
hex nut, and your hand could strike the sharp blade
edges.

Installing blade guard
CAUTION:
• Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth of
cut to its maximum elevation. Insert the spreader
between the blade guard mounting portion (stay) and
the pressure plate.
Tighten the hex bolts (A) with the offset wrench. The
spreader installing location is factory-adjusted so that
the blade and spreader will be in a straight line.
However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the
hex bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion (stay) so that the spreader is aligned directly
behind the blade. Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to
secure the stay.
CAUTION:
• Always grasp the striped portion of the offset wrench
when tightening the hex bolts. If you tighten the hex
bolts while grasping the offset wrench further than the
striped portion, the hex bolts may be damaged and/or
an injury to your hand may result.
• If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly, a
dangerous pinching condition may result during operation. Make sure they are properly aligned. You could
suffer serious personal injury while using the tool without a properly aligned spreader.
• NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running.
Disconnect the tool before making any adjustments.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm (5/32” -
13/64”) between the spreader and the blade teeth.
Adjust the spreader accordingly and tighten the hex
bolts (A) securely. Attach the table insert on the table,
then check to see that the blade guard works smoothly
before cutting.

Positioning table saw
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should
be installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in
the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table
saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an
opening in the top of the work bench the same size as
the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.
NOTE:Table saw stand
• Models 2702X1 and 2703X1 are standard-equipped
with a table saw stand.
Storing accessories
The miter gauge and wrenches can be stored on the
left side of the base and the rip fence can be stored at
the rear of the base.
