WARNING

Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. Oliver Machinery has made
every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery. Safety, however, is ultimately
the responsibility of the individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery, the operator must
exercise caution, patience, and common sense to safely run the machine. Before operating this product,
become familiar with the safety rules in the following sections.

• Always keep guards in place and in proper operating condition.

• Use blade guard for every applicable operation including all through cuts. If guard is removed

for special non-through cuts such as dado and rabbet cuts, replace before further use of the
saw.

• Keep hands out of line with the saw blade.

• Use a push stick.

• Do not perform any operation freehand.

• Never reach around or over the saw blade.

1. If you are not properly trained in the use of a tablesaw do not use until the proper training has been

obtained.

2. Read, understand and follow the safety instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and

hazards associated with this machine.

3. Electrical grounding: Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded and that a

ground lead is included in the incoming electrical service. In cases where a cord and plug are used,
make certain that the grounding plug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure
indicated in the National Electrical Code.

4. Eye safety: Wear an approved safety shield, goggles, or glasses to protect eyes. Common

eyeglasses are only impact-resistant, they are not safety glasses.

5. Personal protection: Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watch and other jewelry and

roll up sleeves above the elbows. Remove all loose outer clothing and confine long hair. Protective
type footwear should be used. Where the noise exceeds the level of exposure allowed in Section

1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations, use hearing protective devices. Do not wear gloves.

6. Guards: Keep the machine guards in place for every operation for which they can be used. If any

guards are removed for maintenance, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until the guards are
reinstalled.

7. Work area: Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, saw dust, oil and

other liquids to minimize the danger of tripping or slipping. Be sure the table is free of all scrap,
foreign material and tools before starting to use the machine. Make certain the work area is well
lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the
floor area where the operator normally stands and mark off machine work area. Provide adequate
work space around the machine.

8. Material condition: Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots or with nails or other foreign

material. Do not attempt to saw twisted, warped, bowed stock.

9. Operator position: Maintain a balanced stance and keep your body under control at all times.

10. Before starting: Before turning on machine, remove all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches,

scraps, and cleaning rags away from the machine.

3

11. Careless acts: Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a

conversation, and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

12. Disconnect all power sources: Before performing any service, maintenance, adjustments or when

changing blades. A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used
until the maintenance is complete.

13. Job completion: If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, the tablesaw should be

turned "off" and the blade should come to a complete stop before their departure. The key should be
placed in the “off” position, removed and given to a supervisor to prevent any unauthorized use of the
tablesaw.

14. Replacement parts: Use only genuine Oliver Machinery factory authorized replacement parts and

accessories; otherwise the warranty and guarantee is null and void.

15. Misuse: Do not use this Oliver tablesaw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,

Oliver disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which
may result from that use.

16. Drugs, alcohol and medication: Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or any medication.

17. This machine is deigned for cutting wood products only. Do not use to cut any kind of metal or

substance other then wood.

18. Never start the saw while a workpiece is in contact with the blade.

19. Raise or lower the blade only when the machine has been turned “off” and the blade has come to a

complete stop.

20. Miter Gauge and Rip Fence: Never use the miter gauge and rip fence at the same time.

21. Damaged Saw Blade: Never use a damaged saw blade or one that has been dropped. Check the

saw blade for cracks or missing teeth. Do not use a cracked or dull blade or one with missing teeth.
Make sure the blade is securely locked on the arbor.

22. Make sure the blade is running in the proper direction. Refer to the arrow on the blade. The teeth

should be pointing down when viewing from the front of the saw.

23. Alignment: Check the alignment of the splitter to the blade. Also, check the alignment of the fence

to the miter slot.

24. Health hazards: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other

construction activities contains 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 and cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures 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 those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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

CAUTION: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate injury
and/or possible machine damage)
WARNING: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it could result in serious injury or possibly
even death).

Machine Preparation and Setup

WARNING!

The equipment used to lift this machine must

have a rated capacity at, or above the weight

of the tablesaw. Failure to comply may

cause serious injury!

The tablesaw must be positioned on a smooth,
level surface. The area must be well lit and
have plenty of room to maneuver with large
pieces of wood.

Level the saw front to back and side to side
using the supplied leveling bolts. Make sure the
saw is stable before being placed into service.

Clean all rust protected surfaces with a
commercial solvent. Do not use acetone,
gasoline, lacquer thinner or any type of
flammable solvent, or a cleaner that may
damage paint. Cover cleaned surfaces with
WD-40 or a 20W machine oil.

Pay particular attention to cleaning in the miter
slot and the faces of table and extension wing.

Figure 1

Extension Wing Assembly

1. Attach each extension wing to table using
the supplied hardware as shown in figure 1.
Snug but do not tighten the bolts.

2. Make sure the mating surfaces are flush at
both the top of the table and the front edge
of the table as shown in figure 2. If the bolts
have not been completely tightened, this can
be easily accomplished using a rubber
coated mallet or dead blow.

3. Fully tighten the bolts.

Handwheel Assembly

1. Screw in the speed handle and angle lock
knob into their respective holes as shown in
figure 3. Use the supplied wrench to
securely tighten the speed handle. Do the
same for both handwheels.

Rail Assembly

1. Install the front rail support to the saw using
the four supplied chamfered bolts found in
the hardware packet of the rails. It is easiest
to start with the first hole as shown in figure
4, using the floor to rest the end of the rail
on. Note that the rail comes pre-drilled for
use on other saws so it is a matter of lining
up the holes in the saw with the correct rail
holes.

2. Set the front guide on the support bracket as
shown in figure 5 and secure into place with
the seven hex bolts also provided in
hardware packet. Be careful when placing
the rail on the bracket that it does not fall off
when lining up the holes.

Figure 4

3. Install the rear guide as shown in figure 6
using the supplied hardware.
