WARNING:To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in the table saw until the following steps have been read and understood.

1 .READand become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool's applications,

limitations, and possible hazards.

2.AVOID DANGEROUSCONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain. Keep work areas weIMit.

3.DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

4.ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and weIMit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.

5.KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCEfrom the work area, especially when the tool is operating.NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.

6.DO NOT FORCETHE TOOL to do ajob for which it was not designed.

7.DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings,watches, etc.) when operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw

you in. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.

8.WEAR A FACEMASK OR DUSTMASK as the sawing operation produces dust.

WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always

_i_ operate the saw in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust

collection systems whenever possible.

9.ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing

parts, cleaning or working on the tool.

IO.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACEAND IN WORKING ORDER.

11.AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is inthe OFFposition before plugging

in the power cord.

12.REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the saw

before turning it on.

1&NEVER LEAVE ARUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF.Do not leave the

tool until it has come to a complete stop.

General safety rules(continued)

14.NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit.DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.

15.D0 NOT OVER REACH.Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber- soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.

1&MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

17.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool's operation. Any part that

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.

18MAKE THEWORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS

remove starter keys.

19.D0 NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.

extended periods of operation.

Specificsafety rulesfor the table saw

,_ WARNING: Do not operate the table saw until it is completely assembled and installed 1

according to the instructions.

01.Always usethe splitter and anti-kickback pawls for all operations, including through-sawing. Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or cross-cutting.

02.Always hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge or rip fence.

03.Use a push stick when required. Always use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick pattern included in this instruction manual.

04.Never perform any operation"free hand"(using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece). Always useeither the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

05.Never stand or place any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keepyour hands out of the line of the saw blade.

O&Never reach behind or over the table saw.

07.Remove the rip fence when cross-cutting.

08.Feed the workpiece into the blade against the direction of rotation only.

09.Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.

1&Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF.Turn off the power

switch immediately to prevent motor damage.

11.Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.

12.Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back toward you) by keeping the blade sharp, keeping the rip fence parallel to the saw blade, and keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls, and guard inplace and

operating.Do not releasework before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

1&Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could put you r hand inthe

cutting path.

O_er's Manual

Specificsafety rulesfor the table saw (continued)

14.Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Use only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.

15.Never cut metals or materials which may create hazardous dust.

16.Always use in a well-ventilated area. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a possible fire hazard.

17.To operate properly, this saw must be mounted on the leg stand or on a suitable work surface. Failure to provide a sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area, which is a fire hazard and may cause motor damage.

18.Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

19.Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

20.Use only sharp, clean blades with properly setteeth.

21.Do not usethe saw without the proper blade insert.

Electricalinformation

Grounding Instructions

IN THE EVENT OFAMALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,grounding provides the path of least resistance

for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped withan electric cord that has anequipment 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 an electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTIONof the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The

conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOTconnect the equipment grounding conductor to alive terminal.

CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand thegrounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged Fig. A plugs and outlets that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. Use aseparate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a#12 wire and

should be protected with a 15 Atime-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFFposition and the electric current is rated the same as the current

stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
