someone may be injured.
blade tilt controls (See “Getting to Know Your Table
Saw” section).
• Review and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures in this manual.
• Review the maintenance methods for this saw (See
“Maintaining Your Table Saw” section)).
• Find and read all the warni ng labels found on t he saw
(shown below).
When Installing Or Moving The Saw
Reduce the Risk of Dangerous Environment.
• Use the saw in a dry, indoor place protected from rain.
• Keep work area well lighted.
• Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories ma y cause risk of in jury to persons.
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw
movement.
• Bolt or clamp the saw to firm level surface where there is
plenty of room to handle and properly support the workpiece (See “Assembly-Mounting Your Sa w” secti on) .
• Support the saw so the table is level and the saw does
not rock.
• When using a table extension longer than 12" attached
to any side of the saw, bolt the saw to a stationary surface or prop up the outer end of the extension from the
floor or bench top to keep the saw from tipping.
• Put the saw where neither operator nor bystanders
must stand in line with the sawblade.
• To reduce the r is k of inj ury from electr ic al shock, make
sure your fingers do not touch th e plug’s metal prongs
when plugging in or unplugging the saw.
• Never Stand On Tool. Serious injury could occur if the
tool tips or you acciden tally hit the cutting to ol. Do not
store anything above or near the tool where anyone
might stand on the tool to reach them.

Safety Instructions For Table Saw (continued)
Before Each Use
Inspect your saw.
• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,
turn the switch off, unplug the saw, and remove the
switch key before raising or removing the guard,
changing the cutting tool, changing the setup, or
adjusting anything. Make sure switch is in OFF position
before plugging in.
• Check for alignment of moving par ts, binding of moving
parts, breaka ge of parts, saw stability, and any other
conditions that may affect the way the saw works.
• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any
electrical par t does not work pro perly, turn the saw off
and unplug the saw.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thro wn Pieces (Kickbac ks Or Throwbacks)
Inspect Your Blade.
• Choose the right blade or cutting accessory for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
• Us e The Right Tool. Don’ t force tool or attachment to
do a job it was not designed for.
• Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels,
friction wheels (metal cutting blades) wire wheels or
buffing wheels. They can fly apart explosively.
• Cut only wood, wood like or pla stic materials. Do not
cut metal.
• Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully:
- To reduce the r isk of cutting tool failure and thrown
shrapnel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10” or
smaller blades or other cutting tools marked for
speeds of 5000 rpm or higher.
- Always use un broken, balanced blades designed t o
fit this saw’s 5/8 inch arbor.
- When thru-sawing (making cuts where the blade
comes through the wor kpiece top), always use a 10
inch diameter blade. This keeps the spreader closest
to the blade.
- Do not over tighten arb or nut. Us e ar bor wr en ch es t o
“snug” it securely.
- Use on ly sharp blades with pro perly set teeth. Consult a professional blade sharpener when in doubt.
- Keep blades clean of gum and resin.
- Never use the saw without the proper blade insert.
Inspect your work area.
• Keep work area clean.
• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor
must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.
• To reduce the r is k of bur ns or othe r fi re dam age, never
use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
• To reduce the risk of i njury, don’t do layout, assembly,
or setup work on the table while blade is spi nning. It
could cut or throw anything hitting the blade.
Plan your work
• Use the right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for.
• Replace damaged or missing parts before using the
saw again.
• Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback
pawls for any thru-sawing (whenever the blade comes
through the top of the wor kpiece). Make sure th e antikickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader
is in line with sawblade (See “Assembly-Aligning Blade
Guard” section).
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a hab it o f
checking for and removing keys and adjusting
wrenches from table top before turning saw on.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are ti ght and n o par ts
have excessive play.
Inspect your workpiece.
• Make sure there are no nail s or foreign objects in th e
part of the workpiece to be cut.
• When cutting irreg ular ly shape d wor kpie ces, plan your
work so it will not slip and pinch the blade:
• A piece of molding for example, must lie flat o r be hel d
by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip
while being cut. Us e jigs or fixtures where ne eded to
prevent workpiece from shifting.
• Use a different, better suited type of tool for work that
can’t be made stable.
Plan your cut.
• To reduce the ris k of kickbacks and throwbacks - when
a part o r all of the wor k pi ece b ind s on the blade and is
thrown violently back toward the front of the saw:
-Never cut Freehand. Always use either a rip fence,
miter gauge or fixtur e t o po si tio n a nd gui de the wor k ,
so it won’t twist or bind on the blade and kick back.
- Make sure th ere’s no debris between the workpiec e
and its supports.
• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces.
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)
for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top. Never use another person as a
substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the
basic saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the
workpiece.
• Never confine the piece being cut off, that is, the piece
not against the r ip fence, miter gauge or fixture. Never
hold it, clamp it, touch i t, or use l en gth s to ps agai ns t i t.
It must be free to move. If confined, it could get
wedged against the blade and cause a kickback or
throwback.
• Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.
• Never turn your table saw “ON” before clearing everything except the workpiece and related support
devices o ff the table.

Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears
Dress for safety
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watch es). They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To red uce the r i sk of poss ible
hearing damage, wear ea r plugs or muffs when using
table saw for hours at a time.
• Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.
This can result in permanent eye damage. Always
wear safety goggles, not glasses complyi ng with ANS I
Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resist ant
lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles
are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or
goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could
seriously hurt you when they break.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with
safety goggles.
Plan the way you will push the workpiece through.
• Never pull the workpiece through. Start and finish
the cut from the front of the table saw.
• Never put your fingers or hands in the path of the
sawblade or other cutting tool.
• Never reach in back of the cutting tool with either
hand to hold down workpiece, supp ort the workpiec e,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.
• reduce the risk of hand positio ns where a su dden slip
could cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade
or other cutting tool.
• Don’t overreach. Alw ays keep good footing an d b ala nce.
• Push the workpiece a gainst the rotation of the blade,
never f eed material into the cutting tool from the rear of
the saw.
• Always push the workpiece all the way past the sawblade.
• As much as possible, keep your face and body to one
side of the sawblade, out of line with a possible kickback or throwback.
• Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cut you’re
planning.
Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting.
• Make sure switch is “OFF” before plugging saw into a
power outlet.
Whenever Sawblade Is Spinning
WARNING: Don’t allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your table saw) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a carele ss f r action
of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
• Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it
runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or
vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.
Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.
• Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns
toward the front of the saw.
Keep Children Away.
• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the table saw.
• Make sure bystanders are clear o f the table saw and
workpiece.
Don’t Force Tool.
• Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
• It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.
• Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let
the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
Before freeing jammed material.
• Turn switch “OFF”.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the saw.
• Check blade, spreader and fence for proper alignment
before starting again.
To reduce the risk of throwback of cut off pieces.
• Use the guard assembly.
To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside
the guard.
• Turn saw “OFF”.
•Remove switch key.
• Wait for blade to stop before lifting the guard.
Before Leaving The Saw.
• Turn the saw off.
• Wait for blade to stop spinning.
• Unplug the saw.
• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Stor e
it away from children and others not qualified to use
the tool.

Safety Instructions For Table Saws (continued)
Additional Safety Instructions For:
Rip Type Cuts.
• Never use the miter gauge when ripping.
• Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 inches or
more from the blade.
• When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push
block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2
inches from the blade.
• Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See
“Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Ripping”
sections.)
• Never rip anything shorter than 10” long.
• When using a push stick or push block, the trailing end
of the board must be square. A push stick or block
against an uneven end could slip off or push the work
away from the fence.
• A Featherboard can help guide the workpiece. (see
”Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for ThruSawing.” section)
• Always use featherboards for any non thru rip type cuts.
(See “Basic Saw Operatio ns - Using Featherboards for
Non-Thru Sawing” section)
See “Work Feed Devices” section for
Before Starting.
• To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade,
make sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.
• Before thru-sa wi ng, chec k the an ti-k ic k bac k p a wls . The
pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points
become dull. (See “Maintain ing Your Table Saw - AntiKickback Pawls” section.)
• Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may
be cut on your saw. However, since these are usually
quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may
not stop a ki ckback. Therefore, be espe ci al ly car ef ul i n
your setup and cutting procedures.
While Thru-sawing.
• To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade,
always push forward on the section of the workpiec e
between the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push
forward on the piece being cut off.
Featherboard
Material and Dimensions
Additional Safety Instructions For:
Crosscut Type Cuts.
• Never use the rip fence when crosscutting.
• An auxiliar y wood facing attached to th e miter gauge
can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks.
Attach it to the slots provided. Make the facing long
enough and big enough to suppor t your work. Make
sure, however, it will not interfere with the sawblade
guard.
Before Starting.
• Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piec e too small to
extend across the full length of the miter gauge face
during the cut. This lets you properly hold the miter
gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away
from the blade.
While Cutting
• To reduce the risk of blade contact, always hold the
miter gauge as shown in “Basic Saw Operations Using The Miter Gauge”.
Additional Safety Instructions For Herc-U-Lift™ Caster System:
Before Using the Caster System
Read the following warning located on the plate assembly:
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected tool
movement.
• Check to make sure tool does not move prior to use. If
tool mov es , adju st al l f our leveler feet to suppo rt the tool .
• Put the tool on a firm level surface where there is plenty
of room to handle and pr o perly support the workpi ec e.

1. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the overload protector can be res et by pushing the red button
on the end of the motor. If the red button will not click
into place immediately, the motor is still too hot and
must be allowed to cool for a while longer.
The time required for the motor to cool may be equal to
the length of time the saw was used before the thermal
overload protector opened. NOTE: An audible click will
indicate the protector is reset, push hard to hear the
click.
2. As soon as the red button is reset, the saw may be
started and operated normally.
3. Frequent “blowing” of fuses or tripping of circui t break-
ers may result if:
a. Motor is overloade d - Overloading can occur i f you
feed too rapidly or if saw is misaligned.
b. Motor circu it is fused differently from recomm enda-
tions - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/
breaker. Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.
c. Low voltage - Although the motor is designed for
operation on the voltage and frequency s pecif ied on
motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled
safely on voltage not more than 10% above or below
the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however,
require that voltage at motor terminals equals the
voltage specified on nameplate.
4. Most motor t roubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to
overly long supply circuit wir e. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever
motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes
and length with the Wire Size Chart below.

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and
is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table shown to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension
cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-prong receptacles which
accept the tool’s plug.

Checking Heeling Adjustment or Parallel ism
of Sawblade to Miter Gauge Groove
While cutting, the ma terial mus t move in a straight line parallel to the sawblade. Therefore, both the miter gauge
groove and the rip fence must be parallel to the sawblade.
WARNING: The blade must be parallel to the miter
gauge groove. Misaligned blades could bind on
workpiece. Workpiece could suddenly kickback.
You could be cut or hit.
If the sawblade is not parallel to the miter gauge groove,
the blade will bind at one end of the cut. This is known as
“Heeling”.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from acci-
dental start, make sure switch is “OFF” and plug is
not connected to power source outlet.
To check for parallelism:
1. Raise blade to approximately 3" depth of cut.
2. Mark an “X” on one of the tee th whic h is set ( bent) to
the left.
3. Place the head of a combination square in the left
miter gauge groove. Rotate the blade so that the
tooth marked with an “X” is in front and adjust the
blade of the square so that is just touche s the tip of
the marked tooth. Lock the square at this setting.

NOTE: Hold the head of the combination square firmly
against the edge of the miter gauge groove during all
measurements.
4. Move the square to the rear of the blade. Rotate the
blade so the marked tooth is in the rear and see if the
marked tooth again touches the blade of the square.
5. If the marked tooth touches the square at the front
and at the rear of the sawblade, the blade is parallel
to miter gauge slot. The parallelism is correct. Pro-
ceed to the “Checking Blade Tilt, or Squareness of
Blade to Table”.
6. If square does not touch the m ar ked tooth at th e rear
and front equally (gap is greater that 0.015 inch–
thickness of 4 pages from Owner s Manual) or tooth
interferes with square, the mechanism underneath
must be adjusted to make the blade parallel to the
miter gauge groove.
7. Tighten the tilt lock handle located at the fro nt of the
saw.
8. Loosen the left and right micro-adj ust set screws on
the center lug of the rear trunnion.
9. Loosen the three mounting screws that hold the front
trunnion and the three mount ing s crews that h old th e
rear trunnion using a 9/16" wrench . The front center
trunnion bolt can be accessed through the slot for the
tilt lock handle in the front of the saw.
10. Position the sawblade, by moving the trunnion
assembly, in the slot of the table inser t maintaining a
minimum of 1/8" cleara nce between the r ight side of
the blade and the table insert (viewed from rear of
saw) and with 9/16" wrench , lightly tighten the c enter
bolt on the front trunnion.
11. Lightly tighten the center bolt on the rear trunnion.
12. Standing at the rear of the saw, determine which
direction the rear of the sawblade must move to make
it parallel to the miter slot. To move the rear of the
blade to the right - tighten the right set screw. To
move the rear of the blade to the left - tighten the left
set screw.
NOTE: When tightening one set screw it may be necessary to loosen the opposite set screw first.
13. Using the set screws move the rear of the blade in the
desired directio n. Repeat s teps 3 a nd 4 un til blade is
parallel to miter gauge slot.
14. Tighten the oppo si te set sc rew to h old the trunnion in
position when measur ement at the front and rear of
the sawblade are equal.
15. Secu rely tighten the left and r ight tr unnion screws on
the rear and front turning using a 9/16" wrench.
16. Recheck the mar ked blade tooth at the front and rear
position to insure that the adjustment has not moved.
17. If the adjustment moved, loosen the four bolts and
repeat steps 13 - 15.
18. When the adjustment is correct loosen both set
screws and securely tighten the center bolts on the
front and rear trunnion.
