GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE AND ANTIKICKBACK PAWLS
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired
or replaced.
Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-
kickback pawls for every through-cutting operation.
For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts
completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the
guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of
injury.
Immediately reattach the guarding system after
completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing
or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard,
riving knife and/or anti-kickback pawls. The guard,
riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls help to reduce the
risk of injury.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard,
riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is
turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the
saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
Adjust the riving knife as described in the operator’s
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can
make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood
of kickback.
For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls to work,
they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving
knife and anti-kickback pawls. Under these conditions
a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls.
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade
diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the
body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness
of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade
must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the
vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the
saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade against the
direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same
direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table
may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled
into the saw blade.
Never use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece when
ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop
when cross cutting with the miter gauge. Guiding the
workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the
same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding
and kickback.
When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding
force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a
push stick when the distance between the fence and
the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push
block when this distance is less than 50 mm. “Work
helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance
from the saw blade.
Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer
or constructed in accordance with the instructions.
This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand
from the saw blade.

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the
saw blade.
Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always
use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to position
and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means using
your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu
of a rip fence or miter gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact
with the moving saw blade.
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or
sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces
to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has
a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of
control, saw blade binding and kickback.
Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or
twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool
off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam.
Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause
kickback or stall the motor.
Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw
is running. The material may become trapped between
the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw
blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw
off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing
material.
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top
when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a
pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the
workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of
the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip
fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from
the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled
towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always
position your body on the same side of the saw blade
as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high
velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with
the saw blade.
Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or
to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the
saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers
into the saw blade.
Never hold and press the workpiece that is being
cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the
workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create
a binding condition and kickback.
Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A
misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the
saw blade and create kickback.
Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the
table and fence when making non-through cuts such
as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A featherboard
helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas
of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of saw blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all
portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is
twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide it with a miter gauge or along the fence.
A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable
and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade,
binding and kickback.
Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically
or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more
pieces and cause kickback.
When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that
the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the
saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause
kickback when the saw is restarted.
Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient
set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with
cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw
blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
TABLE SAW OPERATION
Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power
cord when removing the throat plate, changing the
saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife,
anti-kickback pawls or blade guard, and when the
machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures
will avoid accidents.
Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it
off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete
stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled
hazard.
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 provides enough room to
easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped,
dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under
the saw table and/or the dust collection device.
Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not
properly secured may move or tip over.
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before
the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam
can be dangerous.
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run off-centre, causing loss of control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Use only a cord 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. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at
least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet
or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate tool.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the operator’s
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may risk injury.
Use only correct blades. Do not use blades with incorrect
size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that
are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity
of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting
means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or
nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for
your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a
stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate
in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels,
wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw.
Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories
not recommended may cause serious injury.
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 must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
cutting operation is dusty.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Always keep the blade guard and riving knife (splitter)
in place and in working order.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away
from blades. Do not reach underneath work or around or
over the blade while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to
remove cut material when blade is moving.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough
to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool. Failure
to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If
damaged replace immediately. Never use
product with a damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,450 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended
only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for
a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. When repair
or replacement of the cord is required, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1.
Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this
product.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision built electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC
only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate
this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.

cutterhead during any operation. This aid helps keep the
operator’s hands well away from the cutterhead.
Push Blocks and Push Sticks (table saws)
Devices used to feed the workpiece through the saw blade
during cutting operations. When making a narrow rip cut
without a jig or similar cutting aid, always use a push stick
(not a push block). A push block can be used for narrow
ripping operations, if a jig or similar cutting aid is used.
These aids help keep the operator’s hands well away from
the blade.
Rabbet
A non-through cut positioned on the end or edge of the
workpiece which produces a square, two-sided notch or
trough in the workpiece.
Resaw (table saws and band saws)
A cutting operation to reduce the thickness of the workpiece
to make thinner pieces.
Resin
A sticky, sap-based substance that has hardened.
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
The number of turns completed by a spinning object in one
minute.
Ripping or Rip Cut (table saws)
A cutting operation along the length of the workpiece and
typically in the direction of the grain.
Riving Knife/Spreader/Splitter (table saws)
A metal piece, slightly thinner than the blade, which helps
keep the kerf open and also helps to prevent kickback.
Saw Blade Path
The area over, under, behind, or in front of the blade. As it
applies to the workpiece, that area which will be or has been
cut by the blade.
Snipe (planers)
Depression made at either end of a workpiece by cutter
blades when the workpiece is not properly supported.
Taper Cut
A cut where the material being cut has a different width at
the beginning of the cut from the end.
Through Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends completely
through the thickness of the workpiece. This type of cut will
separate a single workpiece into two pieces.
Workpiece or Material
The item on which the operation is being done.

KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW
See Figure 5.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as
well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before
use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating
features and safety rules.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which
the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth
on the removable anti-kickback pawls point away from the
workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled back toward
the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or
reduce the possibility of kickback.
BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL/BEVEL LOCK KNOB
The bevel adjusting handwheel, located on the side of the
cabinet, is used to adjust the bevel angle of the blade.The
bevel lock knob locks the angle setting of the blade.
BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of the
cabinet shows the exact blade angle.
BLADE - For maximum performance, it is recommended
that you use the 10 in. carbide tipped combination blade
provided with your saw. The blade is raised and lowered with
the height adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are locked with
the bevel lock knob. Additional blade styles of the same high
quality are available for specific operations such as ripping.
Your local dealer can provide you with complete information.
Blade kerf width must be within the limits stamped on the
riving knife.
-
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of
this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result
in personal injury.
BLADE GUARD - Always keep the removable blade guard
down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.
HEIGHT ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL/ HEIGHT LOCK
KNOB - The height adusting handwheel, located on the
front of the cabinet, is used to lower and raise the blade for
height adjustments or blade replacement. The height lock
knob locks the height setting of the blade.
MITER GAUGE - The miter gauge aligns the workpiece for
a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact
angle for a miter cut, with adjustable stops at 90° and 45°.
MITER GAUGE GROOVES - The miter gauge rides in the
grooves on the saw table.
RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece and
is secured with the locking handle. Grooves run along the
top and sides of the rip fence for use with optional clamps
and accessories.
RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece of the blade
guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which
helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback. When in the
through sawing, or “up” position, it is higher than the saw
blade. When in the non-through sawing, or “down” position,
it is below the saw blade teeth.
RIP SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read rip
scale provides precise measurements for rip cuts.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access switch
assembly located below the front rail. To lock the switch in
the OFF position, remove the switch key from the switch.
Place the key in a location that is inaccessible to children
and others not qualified to use the tool.
TABLE EXTENSION - Located on each side of the saw table,
the table extensions give the operator additional support
when cutting wide workpieces.

OPERATING COMPONENTS
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table
and is surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The
height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of the
cabinet. Detailed instructions are provided in the Operation
section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross cuts, miter
cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.
The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts.
A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip
fence and the blade.
It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for
all through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly
includes: riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard.

OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories
not recommended by the manufacturer of this
tool. The use of attachments or accessories not
recommended can result in serious personal
injury.
CAUSES OF KICKBACK
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, kicking
the workpiece back toward you with great force and speed. If
your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose
from the workpiece and may contact the blade. Obviously,
kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using
precautions to avoid the risks.
Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade
in the wood, such as the following:
Making a cut with incorrect blade depth
Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece
Twisting the wood while making a cut
Failing to support work
Forcing a cut
Cutting warped or wet lumber
Using the wrong blade for the type of cut
Not following correct operating procedures
Misusing the saw
Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls
Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade
WARNING:
Although many of the illustrations in this manual are
shown with the blade guard removed for clarity, do
not operate the saw without the blade guard unless
specifically instructed to do so.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
Straight line cutting operations such as cross cutting,
ripping, mitering, beveling, and compound cutting
Dado or molding cuts with optional accessories
Cabinet making and woodworking
NOTE: This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood
composition products only.
BASIC OPERATION OF THE TABLE SAW
The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded according to all local
codes and ordinances. Improper connection of the equipment
can result in electric shock. Check with an electrician or
service personnel if you are unsure about proper grounding.
Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit the outlet, have the
correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the
Electrical section earlier in this manual.
AVOIDING KICKBACK
Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of
the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 in. to
1/4 in.
Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a
cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never
saw into a loose knot or nail.
Always use the rip fence when rip cutting. Use the miter
gauge when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting
the wood in the cut.
Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades. Never
make cuts with dull blades.
To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly
before beginning a cut.
When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
force cuts.
Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
Use extra caution when cutting some prefinished or
composition wood products as the anti-kickback pawls
may not always be effective.
Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with
push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a
balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should
it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.
Use of a featherboard will help hold the workpiece securely
against the saw table or fence.
Clean the saw, blade guard, under the throat plate, and
any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces may gather.
Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
Always use the riving knife for every operation where it
is allowed. The use of this device will greatly reduce the
risk of kickback.

CUTTING AIDS
See Figure 41.
Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a
workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When making
non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock, always use a
push stick, push block, and/or featherboard so your hands
do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade. They can be
made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood and
used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than
the workpiece, with a 90˚ notch in one end and shaping for
a grip on the other end.
A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws
from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and
all non-through cuts.
PUSH STICKS
PUSH BLOCKS

CAUTION:
Be sure the screws in a push block are recessed to
avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.
AUXILIARY FENCE
An auxiliary fence is a device used to close the gap between
the rip fence and the saw table. Always make and use an
auxiliary fence when ripping material 1/8 in. or thinner.
HOW TO MAKE AND ATTACH AN AUXILIARY
FENCE (FOR RIP CUTTING THIN WORKPIECE)
See Figure 42.
An auxiliary fence may be made for the saw by cutting a
piece of wood to 3/4 in. thick, 3-1/2 in. wide, and 31 in. long.
To attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence:
Drill two countersunk holes in the locations shown.

OPERATION
To make a jig:
Attach a handle to a long, straight piece of wood and
secure from the underside using recessed screws.
Cut an L-shaped stop in the side of the jig.
To use a jig:
Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the jig and against the stop.
Holding the jig handle and using a push block and/or push
stick, make the rip cut as described later in this section.
FEATHERBOARD
A featherboard is a device used to help control the
workpiece by holding it securely against the table or fence.
Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small
workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end
is angled with a number of short kerfs to give a friction hold
on the workpiece and locked in place on the table with a
C-clamp. Test that it can resist kickback.
WARNING:
Place the featherboard against the uncut portion of
the workpiece to avoid kickback that could cause
serious personal injury.
completely stop rotating before removing the stock. Reset
the rip fence and cut spaced rips into the workpiece to allow
approximately 1/4 in. fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between
the fingers.
HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD
See Figure 45.
Completely lower the saw blade. Position the rip fence to the
desired adjustment for the cut to be performed and lock the
rip fence. Place the workpiece against the fence and over the
saw blade area. Adjust the featherboard to apply resistance
to the workpiece just forward of the blade. Attach C-clamps
to secure the featherboard to the edge of the saw table.
WARNING:
The featherboard must be installed in front of
the blade. Do not locate the featherboard to the
rear of the blade. Kickback can result from the
featherboard pinching the workpiece and binding
the blade in the saw kerf if positioned improperly.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.

HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD
See Figure 44.
The featherboard is an excellent project for your saw. Select
a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick, 3-5/8 in.
wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of the width on one end
of the stock. Miter one-half of the width to 30° and miter the
other half of the same end to 45° (see page 38 for information
on miter cuts). Mark the board from the point at six inches.
Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 38. Set
the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in. “finger” to be
cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to the mark previously
made at 6 in. Turn the saw OFF and allow the blade to

TYPES OF CUTS
See Figure 46.
There are six basic cuts: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut, 3)
the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel rip cut,
and 6) the compound (bevel) miter cut. All other cuts are
combinations of these basic six. Operating procedures for
making each kind of cut are given later in this section.
WARNING:
Always make sure the blade guard and antikickback pawls are in place and working properly
when making these cuts to avoid possible injury.
1
CROSS CUT
2
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts made across the grain of
the workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90° angle
to the blade, and the blade is vertical.
Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood. To avoid
kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of the
wood rides firmly against the rip fence.
Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the
blade other than 90°. The blade is vertical. Miter cuts tend
to “creep” during cutting. This can be controlled by holding
the workpiece securely against the miter gauge.
WARNING:
Always use a push stick with small pieces of wood,
and also to finish the cut when ripping a long
narrow piece of wood, to prevent your hands from
getting close to the blade.
Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross cuts
are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are with the
grain. The rip fence must always be on the right side of the
blade for bevel rip cuts.
Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an angled
blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be thoroughly
familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, and
miter cuts before trying a compound miter cut.

The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be
wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding.
Make allowance for the kerf when measuring wood.
Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the
measuring line.
Cut the wood with the finish side up.
Knock out any loose knots with a hammer before making
the cut.
Always provide proper support for the wood as it comes
out of the saw.

Unplug the saw.
Unlock the bevel adjusting handwheel by rotating the
locking knob counterclockwise.
Adjust the bevel angle by turning the bevel adjusting
handwheel. Turning the handwheel clockwise will tilt the
saw blade to the left.
When the saw blade is tilted to the left as far as it will go,
the blade should be at a 45° angle to the saw table and
the bevel indicator should point to 45°.
When the saw blade is tilted to the right as far as it will
go, the blade should be at 90° to the saw table and the
bevel indicator should point to 0°.
NOTE: When the saw blade is 90° to the saw table, the
saw blade should be square with the saw table. (See the
Adjustments section of this manual to square the saw

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
See Figure 67.
Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 in. blade) can be
made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut).
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves,
rabbets, and dadoes. This is the only type cut that is made
without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the
blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this
type of cut. Read the appropriate section which describes
the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through or
dado cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a straight
cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross
cuts before proceeding.
