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
perso nnel on ly. If you are no t fam iliar w ith 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,
Powermatic 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. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, saw ing,
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.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
11. Make certain the machine is properly
grounded.
12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source. A machine under repair should be
RED TAGGED to show it must not be used
until maintenance is complete.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Check the alignment of the riving knife, fence
and miter slot to the blade. A caution decal is
installed on each guard to remind the operator
of the dangers of improper machine operation.
16. 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.
17. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
18. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
20. Make your workshop child proof w ith padlocks,
master switches or by removing safety keys.
21. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in
serious injury.
22. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall or lean against the blade or
other moving parts. Do not overreach or use
excessive force to perform any machine
operation.
23. 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.
24. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
25. Maintain tools with care. Keep blade sharp and
clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
26. Check the saw blade for cracks or missing
teeth. Do not use a cracked or dull blade or
one with missing teeth or improper set. Make
sure the blade is securely locked on the arbor.
27. Keep hands clear of the blade area. Do not
reach past the blade to clear parts or scrap
with the saw blade running. Never saw
freehand. Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to contact the blade.
28. Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots
or with nails or other foreign material, on its
surface. Do not attempt to saw twisted,
warped, bowed or “in wind” stock unless one
edge has been jointed for guiding purposes
prior to sawing.
29. Do not attempt to saw long or wide boards
unsupported where spring or weight could
cause the board to shift position.
30. Always use the riving knife, blade guard, push
stick and other safety devices for all operations
where they can be used. On operations such
as dadoing or molding where t he blade guard
cannot be used, use feather boards, fixtures
and other safety devices and use extreme
caution. Reinstall the riving knife and blade
guard immediately after completing the
operation that required their removal.
31. Be sure the saw blade rotates clockwise when
viewed from the motor side (left side) of the
machine.
32. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove chips or
debris — do not use your hands.
33. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.
34. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
35. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the
machine.
3.1 Kickback
Themost 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 the operator’s hands being pulled into
the blade.
Kickback Prevention
Tips to avoid the most common causes of
kickback:
• Make sure the riving knife is always aligned
with the blade. A workpiece can bind or stop
the flow of the cut if the riving knife is
misaligned, and result in kickback.
• Use a riving knife during every cut. The riving
knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece,
which will reduce the chance of kickback.
• Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece
must be fed parallel to the blade, otherwise
kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip
fence or miter gauge to support the workpiece.
• Make sure that rip fence is parallel to 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.

5.0 Glossary
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. A stacked dado set can be used f or wider
grooves.
Dado Cut: Flat bottomed groo ve in t he 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 saw blade.
Freehand: Moving the workpiece into the blade
using only the hands, without a fixed positioning
device. (This is a dangerous, unacceptable
procedure – always use appropriate devices to
feed the workpiece through the saw blade during
cutting operations.)
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 workpiece binds on the saw blade or
between the blade and rip fence (or other fixed
object). To minimize or prevent injury from
kickbacks, see the Operations section.
Miter Gauge: A component that controls the
workpiece movement while performing a crosscut
of various angles.
Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that
requires the removal of the blade guard and
standard riving knife, resulting in a cut that does
not protrude through the top of the workpiece
(includes Dado and rabbet cuts).
The blade guard and riving knife must be reinstalled 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 by keeping the operator’s hands at a
distance.
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.
Riving Knife: A metal plate fixed relative to the
blade, which moves with the blade as cutting depth
is adjusted. Thus, it maintains not only the kerf
opening in the workpiece, but also the knife-toblade distance. A low-profile ri ving k nife sit s low er
than the top edge of the blade, f or making a nonthrough cut.
Splitter (Spreader): A stationary metal plate to
which the blade guard is attached that maintains
the kerf opening in the workpiece during 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 saw ing operatio n in whic h 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 t he
blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls down,
and the riving knife in place over the blade.

1. Remove screws holding saw to pallet, by
unscrewing them from underneath pallet.
2. Carefully slide saw from pallet onto floor.
The cabinet saw should be placed in an area with a
sturdy level floor, good ventilation and sufficient
lighting. Leave enough space around the machine
for mounting extension wings and rail assemblies,
and loading and off-loading stock and general
maintenance work.
Exposed metal surfaces, such as table top and
extension wings, have been given a protective
coating at the factory. This should be removed with
a soft cloth moistened with kero sene or a cleanerdegreaser. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or
lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not use
solvents on plastic parts, and avoid using an
abrasive pad as it can scratch surfaces.
