GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
KEEPWORKAREACLEAN.Clutteredareasandbenches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit.
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while operating.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not intended.
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.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impactresistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use a featherboard to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may risk injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
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.
USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of blade or cutter only.
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.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
When operating a power tool outside, use anoutdoorextensioncordmarked“W-A”or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
ALWAYS KEEP THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER (SPLITTER) IN PLACE and in working order.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, and with sufficient set. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
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.
Blade coasts after being turned off.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
Inspect TOOL CORDS periodically. If damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.
Inspect EXTENSION CORDS periodically and replace if damaged.
GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with threeprong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle.
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.
Use only correct electrical devices: 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Keep TOOL dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.
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.
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are secure.
BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
Never touch blade or other moving parts during use.
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATiNG COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
DO NOT operate A tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Use only recommended accessories listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.
DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is tight and not making contact with saw or workpiece before connecting to power supply.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FIRMLy bOLT THE SAw TO A wORK bENCH OR LEG STAND at approximately hip height.
NEVER OPERATE THE SAw ON THE FLOOR.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.
USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support large panels.
Remove all fences and auxiliary tables before transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in an accident causing possible serious personal injury.
ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, Spreader, AND ANTIKICKBACK PAWLS on all “through-sawing” operations. Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-kick- back pawls down, and the spreader in place over the blade.
ALWAYS SECURE work firmly against the rip fence or miter gauge. NEVER use the rip fence during the same operation as the miter gauge.
ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NARROW STOCK. A push stick is a device used to push a workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must always be narrower than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, so your hand does not come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts.
NEVER perform any operation “freehand” which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece.
Always use either the rip fence or miter fence to position and guide the work.
NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.
MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross cutting.
DO NOT USE THE MITER GAUGE AND RIP FENCE during the same operation.
NEVER use rip fence as cutoff gauge when cross cutting.
NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power source.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long work pieces.
AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by:
a)Keeping blade sharp.
b)Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
c)Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard in place and operating.
d)Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade using a push stick.
e)Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting tool.
Use only recommended accessories listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.
make sure the work area has ample lighting to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using the table saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply.
THIS TOOL should have the following markings:
a)Wear eye protection.
b)Use saw blade guard and spreader/riving knife for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing.
c)Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
d)Use a push stick when required.
e)Pay particular attention to instructions on reducing risk of kickback.
f)Do not perform any operation freehand.
g)Never reach around or over the saw blade.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit. 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 tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
Electrical Connection
This tool 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 tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4,800 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 equipment-grounding 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 installation of the grounding plug is able to 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.

FEATURES
KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW
See Figure 2.
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.
OVERVIEW
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table, surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The height of the blade is set with a blade adjusting handle on the front of the cabinet. To cut wood at a bevel, the blade must be tilted using the blade adjusting handle, the bevel lock lever, and the bevel indicator found on the front of the cabinet. Detailed instructions are provided in the Operation section of this manual for the basic cuts: rip cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.
This saw includes a rip fence and miter gauge. The rip fence is used to position work that will be cut lengthwise (rip cuts). Push smaller pieces with a push block or push stick. A scale on the front of the saw table shows the distance between the rip fence and the blade. For cuts with the blade straight up and cutting across the grain (cross cuts or miter cuts), use the miter gauge to set the angle and push the wood into the blade.
Use the miter gauge for a bevel cross cut (compound cut) and the rip fence for a bevel rip cut.
The blade guard assembly includes a spreader which is a metal device directly behind and above the blade. It is used to help keep the cut wood from binding together and causing possible kickback. It is very important to use the spreader for all through-sawing operations. The anti-kickback pawls (also a part of the blade guard assembly) are toothed plates mounted on the spreader. Their teeth point away from the work in case the work should be thrown or pulled back toward the operator. Then the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The toothed pawls are designed to snag the workpiece to prevent or reduce injury should kickback occur.
BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of the cabinet shows the exact blade angle.
BLADE - This saw comes with a 10 in, 24-tooth blade. The blade is adjusted with the blade adjusting handle on the front of the cabinet. Bevel angles are locked with a bevel locking lever below the front rail.
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
BLADE ADJUSTING HANDLE - Use this handle to set the angle of the blade for bevel cuts and to lower or raise the blade for adjustments. This handle is located on the front of the cabinet.
BLADE GUARD - Always keep the guard down over the blade for through-sawing cuts.
Bevel LOCKING LEVER - This lever, placed just under the worktable surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the angle setting of the blade. Be sure the lever is unlocked before tilting the blade. If it is not unlocked, it may jam and bend the locking bolt.
MITER GAUGE - This miter gauge aligns the wood for a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact angle for a miter cut.
MITER GAUGE GROOVEs - The miter gauge rides in these grooves on either side of the blade.
RIP FENCE - A metal fence guides the workpiece and is secured with a locking lever. When the locking lever is in the locked position, it cannot be unlocked until the trigger lock is pulled.
SCALE - Found on the front of the saw table, the easy-to- read scale provides precise measurements in rip cuts.
SPREADER - A metal piece, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY - The saw has an easy access power switch located below the front rail. The switch key must be inserted into the switch before the saw can be operated. 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.
