INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the

CAUTION
!
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in damp
location is unavoidable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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 inuence

3
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, nonskid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) 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
nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) 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
dustrelated hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into 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.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

STALLED SAW BLADE without rst
turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch
OFF immediately to prevent motor
damage.
•PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to
the rear and the sides of the saw table
for long or wide workpieces.
•AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown
back towards you) by keeping the
blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the
saw blade and by keeping the riving
knife, anti-kickback pawls assembly
and guards in place, aligned and
functioning. Do not release work before
passing it completely beyond the saw
blade. Do not rip work that is twisted,
warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide it along the fence. Do not
attempt to reverse out of a cut with the
blade running.
•AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and
hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the
saw blade.
•NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean
plastic parts. Solvents could possibly
dissolve or otherwise damage the
material. Only a soft damp cloth should
be used to clean plastic parts.
•MOUNT your table saw on a bench or
stand before performing any cutting
operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY
on page 15. Secure tool properly to
prevent unexpected movement.
Never cut metals or
masonry products with this tool.
This table saw is designed for use
on wood and wood-like products
only.
•ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-
VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust
frequently. Clean out sawdust from
the interior of the saw to prevent a
potential re hazard. Attach a vacuum
to the dust port for additional sawdust
removal.

could cause serious injury, do not plug
the tool in until you have read and
understood the following.
• ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD,
riving knife and anti-kickback pawls
assembly for every through–sawing
operation. Through–sawing operations
are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece when
ripping or crosscutting. Always be sure
blade guard is tightened securely.
•ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY
against the miter gauge or rip fence.
Use rip fence for all rip cuts and miter
gauge for all crosscuts. Never use the
miter gauge and rip fence together
•ALWAYS USE a push stick or push
block, especially when ripping narrow
stock. Refer to ripping instructions in
this Operator’s Manual where the push
stick is covered in detail.
•NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION
FREEHAND, which means can using
hands to support the workpiece, but
always use either the fence OR the
miter gauge to position and guide the
workpiece.
Freehand cutting is
the major cause of kickback and
nger/hand amputations. Never
use the miter gauge and fence
simultaneously.
•NEVER STAND or have any part of
your body in line with the path of the
saw blade. Keep your hands out of the
saw blade path.

Use of this tool can
generate and/or disperse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always
use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
• Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
ALWAYS use safety
glasses. Everyday eye glasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/
CPA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing

SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY, ANTI-
KICKBACK ASSEMBLY AND RIVING
KNIFE
Your table saw is equipped with a blade
guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly
and riving knife that covers the blade and
reduces the possibility of accidental blade
contact. The riving knife is a at plate that
ts into the cut made by the saw blade and
effectively ghts kickback by lessening the
tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.
The blade guard assembly and anti-
kickback assembly can only be used
when making through cuts that sever
the wood. When making rabbets and
other cuts that make non through cuts,
the blade guard assembly and anti-
kickback assembly must be removed
and riving knife lowered to the non
through cut position marked on the
riving knife. Two anti-kickback pawls are
located on the sides of the riving knife
that allow the wood to pass through the
blade in the cutting direction but reduce
the possibility of the material being thrown
backwards toward the operator.
•For proper operation follow the
instructions in this Instruction
Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 15). Failure
to provide sawdust fall-through and
removal hole will allow sawdust
to build up in the motor area resulting
in a re hazard and potential motor
damage.
•USE ONLY saw blades recommended
with the warning that the riving knife
shall not be thicker than the width of
the groove cut by the saw blade and
not thinner than the body of the saw
blade.
•USE PUSH-STICK OR PUSH BLOCK
to feed the workpiece past the saw
blade. The push-stick or push block
should always be stored with the
machine when not in use.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products,
and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with
dust from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS AND
SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical
hazards, re hazards, or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection. Use
a seperate electrical circuit for your
tool. Your table saw is wired at the
factory for 120 V operation. Connect
to a 120 V, 15 Amp circuit and use
a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or re,
if power cord is worn, cut, or
damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
WARNING
!
Use all components of the guarding
system (blade guard assembly, riving knife
and anti-kickback assembly) for every
operation for which they can be used
including all through cutting.
If you elect not to use any of these
components for a particular application
exercise additional caution regarding
control of the workpiece, the use of push
sticks, the position of your hands relative
to the blade, the use of safety glasses,
the means to avoid kickback and all other
warnings contained in this manual and
on the saw itself. Replace the guarding
systems as soon as you return to thru-
cutting operations. Keep the guard
assembly in working order.
KICKBACKS
KICKBACKS: Kickbacks can cause serious
injury. A kickback occurs when a part of the
workpiece binds between the saw blade
and the rip fence, or other xed object, and
rises from the table and is thrown toward
the operator. Kickbacks can be avoided by
attention to the following conditions.
How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect
Yourself from Possible Injury:
• Be certain that the rip fence is parallel
to the saw blade.
• Do not rip by applying the feed force
to the section of the workpiece that will
become the cut-off (free) piece. Feed
force when ripping should always be
applied between the saw blade and the
fence; use a push stick for narrow work,
6 in. (152 mm) wide or less.
• Keep saw blade guard assembly, riving
knife and anti-kickback assembly in
place and operating properly. If anti-
kickback assembly is not operational,
return your unit to the nearest
authorized service center for repair.
The riving knife must be in alignment
with the saw blade and the anti-
kickback pawls assembly must stop
a kickback once it has started. Check
their action before ripping by pushing
the wood under the anti-kickback
assembly. The teeth must prevent the
wood from being pulled toward the
front of the saw.
• Plastic and composite (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 kickback.
Therefore, be especially attentive to
following proper set up and cutting
procedures for ripping.
• Use saw blade guard assembly, anti-
kickback pawls assembly and riving
knife for every operation for which it
can be used, including all through-
sawing.
• Push the workpiece past the saw blade
prior to release.
• Never rip a workpiece that is twisted
or warped, or does not have a straight
edge to guide along the fence.
• Never saw a large workpiece that
cannot be controlled.
• Never use the fence as a guide or
length stop when crosscutting.
• Never saw a workpiece with loose
knots, aws, nails or other foreign
objects.
• Never rip a workpiece shorter than
10 in. (254 mm).
• NEVER use a dull blade – replace or
have resharpened.
• NEVER use a rip fence and miter
gauge together.
• Keep hands out of saw blade.

on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION
CORD. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power,
overheating and burning out of the
motor. The table below shows the
correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION

extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be
grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an
electrical cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG
PROVIDED. If it will not t the receptacle,
have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualied electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electrical
cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or
service person if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not certain the tool is
properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords
that have three-pronged grounding
plugs with three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug. Repair
or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tool. This circuit must not be less
than # 14 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the
off position and the electric current is
