GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE-
TY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps
have been read and understood.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain. Keep work areas well lit.
3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.
5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating. NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job 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 FACE MASK OR DUST MASK to fight the dust produced by sawing operations.
WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always oper­ate the tool 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.
10. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position 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.
13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled foot­wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
16. 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.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove safety keys.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool.
20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environ­ment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR TABLE SAWS
1. ALWAYS USE THE BLADE GUARD, riving knife and anti-kickback fingers on all “through-sawing” opera­tions. Through-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or crosscutting.
2. AVOID KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp and the rip fence parallel to the saw blade. Make sure the riv­ing knife, anti-kickback fingers, and the blade guard are in place, aligned properly and functional. Do not release a work piece before passing it completely through the saw blade. Do not rip a work piece that is twisted/warped or a work piece that has a straight edge to guide it along the rip fence. Do not attempt to pull the workpiece backwards out of a cut while the blade is still turning.
3. ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK firmly against the miter gauge or fence.
4. NEVER PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS, meaning never only use your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece.
5. BE MINDFUL OF BODY POSITION. Never have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
6. NEVER REACH BEHIND or over the saw blade with either hand for any reason.
7. MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when crosscutting.
8. SUPPORT LARGE PANELS to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR TABLE SAWS
9. REMOVE ALL ACCESSORIES FROM THE TABLE. Before transporting the saw, remove all accessories
(miter gauge, rip fence....). Failure to do so can result in an accident causing possible serious personal injury.
10. NEVER USE RIP FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAUGE when crosscutting. Move the rip fence out of the way.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. If a work piece stalls the blade, turn the saw off and unplug it for both safety and also damage prevention to the motor.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of the table saw for wide or long workpieces.
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the spinning blade.
14. MOUNT YOUR TABLE SAW on the supplied stand or to a work bench before performing any cutting opera­tions.
15. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may make hazardous dust.
16. ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK, especially when ripping narrow work piece. One is supplied with this saw.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools that eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protect­ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system. This should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original replacement parts intended for your particular model of tool when servicing.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make 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/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position 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.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
AMPERAGE
15 A 14 gauge 12 gauge Not Recommended
WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before operating the saw.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Do not wear gloves, a necktie, jewelry, or loose clothing.
3. Make sure the saw is on a firm, level surface and properly secured.
4. Use only the recommended accessories.
5. Use extra caution with very large, very small, or awkward workpieces.
6. Keep hands away from blade at all times to prevent accidental injury.
