Warnings
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
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.
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate power tools inb.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystandersc.
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match thea.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with groundedb.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rainc.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never used.
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.
When operating a power tool out-e.
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a dampf.
location is unavoidable, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Alwaysb.
wear eye protection. Safety equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.c.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your nger on
the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key ord.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep propere.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loosef.
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.
If devices are provided for the con-g.
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards.
Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Usea.
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if theb.
switch does not turn it on and off.

Page 5SKU 97816 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from thec.
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of thed.
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check fore.
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp andf.
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool and acces-g.
sories 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.
Service5.
Have your power tool serviced bye.
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

Always use Saw Blades (not includ-11.
ed) with a 10” diameter, 5/8” round
arbor hole, and rated at 3450 RPM
or greater. Saw Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the
Table Saw or that are rated less than
the required minimum RPM will run
eccentrically causing loss of control
or may y off the Saw.
Make sure the Table Saw is located12.
on a at, level, sturdy surface ca-
pable of supporting the weight of the
Saw and workpieces.
Do not use the Table Saw for cutting13.
metals or for cutting curves. This will
cause the Saw Blade to break and/or
reduce its service life.
Make sure the Table of the Table Saw14.
and surrounding area are clear with
the exception of the workpiece to be
cut.
Before using the Table Saw, check to15.

inspection, maintenance, cleaning
procedures, or changing accessories.
Before trying new or complicated30.
techniques, study the procedure, and
practice with scrap wood.
Make sure the woodstock is free from31.
loose knots, aws, nails, and any
other foreign objects that could dam-
age the Saw Blade or cause “kick-
back”.
Causes and operator prevention of32.
“kickback”: Kickback is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound, or mis-
aligned Saw Blade, causing an un-
controlled woodstock to lift up and out
from the Table Saw toward the opera-
tor. When the Saw Blade is pinched
or bound tightly by the kerf closing
down, the Saw Blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the woodstock
rapidly back toward the operator. If
the Saw Blade becomes twisted or
misaligned in the cut, the teeth at
the back edge of the Saw Blade can
raise the woodstock (walk up), and
eject it toward the operator. Kickback
is a result of tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or condi-
tions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
Maintain control of the woodstock at•
all times. Never allow the woodstock
to rest on the moving Saw Blade
without holding on to the woodstock.
When the Saw Blade is binding,•
or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, turn off the Power Switch
and hold the woodstock motionless
on the Table saw until the Saw Blade
comes to a complete stop. Never at-
tempt to remove the woodstock from
the Table Saw or pull the woodstock
backward while the Saw Blade is in
motion or kickback may occur. In-
vestigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of Saw Blade
binding.
When restarting a woodstock on the•
Table Saw, center the Saw Blade
in the pre-cut kerf and check that
the Saw Teeth are not engaged into
the woodstock. If the Saw Blade is
binding, the woodstock may walk
up or kickback as the Table Saw is
restarted.
Support large panels with roller•
stands (not included) to minimize
the risk of Saw Blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the panel and
near the outer edge of the panel.
Do not use a dull or damaged Saw•
Blade. Unsharpened or improperly
set Saw Blades produce a narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, Saw
Blade binding and kickback.
Never use the Fence assembly as a•
guide when crosscutting.

Page 8SKU 97816 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Never rip a woodstock that is twist-•
ed or warped, or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the
Rip Fence.
Push the woodstock past the Saw•
Blade prior to release.
Check all guards for proper operation33.
before each use. Never disable
guards. Do not operate the Table
Saw if the guard assembly does not
move freely and close instantly.
Before each use, raise the guard
assembly and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the Saw
Blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
Never perform layout, assembly, or34.
setup work on the Table of the Table
Saw when the machine is running.
Always disconnect the Table Saw35.
from its electrical outlet before per-
forming any services, maintenance,
or cleaning such as leaving the work
area, moving the machine from one
location to another, changing Saw
Blades, cleaning sawdust from the
machine, etc.
Make sure to remove all adjusting36.
wrenches from the Table Saw before
turning it on.
Use a “push stick” or “auxiliary37.
handle” (neither included) only when
ripping widths of 2” to 6”. Use a
“push block” and “auxiliary fence”
(neither included) when ripping
widths under 2”.

EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire1.
extension cord.
As the distance from the supply out-2.
let increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using exten-
sion cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in volt-
age, resulting in loss of power and
possible tool damage.
The smaller the gauge number of the3.
wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. (See Table A.)
When using more than one extension4.
cord to make up the total length, make
sure each cord contains at least the
minimum wire size required.
(See Table A.)
If you are using one extension cord for5.
more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to deter-
mine the required minimum cord size.
(See Table A.)
Make sure the extension cord is prop-6.
erly wired and in good electrical con-
dition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualied electrician before using it.
Protect the extension cords from sharp7.
objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
Machine Set Up
To improve the Table Saw’s stabil-1.
ity during shipping, the machine was
bolted to a pallet. The pallet must be
removed prior to using the Table Saw.
To do so:
Open the Motor Cover (114), and•
remove the four Screws at the bot-
tom of the Cabinet (101). Then
remove the large Steel Plate (107)
from the bottom of the Cabinet.
After removing the large steel plate,•
you will nd two Cap Bolts screwed
through the bottom of the Cabinet
(101) and into the pallet. Use a
wrench or power tool (not included)
to remove the two Cap Bolts. (See
Figure C.)
You may now lift (using proper lift-•
ing devices) the Table Saw up and
off the pallet.

9. Moving the Geared Bearing Housing
(271) moves the V-Belts (230) and
Pulleys (231, 282) out of alignment,
so adjustment of the Motor Pulley
(231) is required. To do so, loosen
the Set Screw (232) in the middle
groove of the Motor Pulley and slowly
slide the Pulley toward the end of the
Motor’s (234) Shaft. Once the V-Belts
are back in alignment, tighten the Set

10. Recheck the Blade Guard Assembly
alignment to the Saw Blade and the
Table (126) top. If the Blade Guard
Assembly is properly aligned re-attach
the Table and left and right Extension
Wings (127), making sure there is ad-
equate Saw Blade clearance through
all Saw Blade adjustments.
Adjust the Saw Blade to 45 degrees.11.
Raise and lower the Saw Blade
through the full range. Readjust the
Saw Blade to 90 degrees. Then raise
and lower the Saw Blade through
the full range. There should be no
contact between the Saw Blade, the
Table (126), the Table Insert (131 or
136), or any other part of the Table
Saw. If there is contact, have a
qualied service technician make
the necessary adjustments before
using the Table Saw.

Geared Trunnion (247). Loosen the
Nut (253) on the Geared Trunnion,
and turn the Stop Bolt (254) in or
out. Back off both Stop Bolts one full
turn, then adjust them to achieve the
required blade angle. Tighten both
Stop Bolts until they both rest against
geared trunnion. Tighten the Nuts
(253). The Stop Bolt should stop
against left side Stopper Plate under
Table (126). (See Figure R.)
Set the Saw Blade at 45° to the Table6.
(126) by turning the Blade Angle
Hand Wheel (202) counterclockwise
as far as it will go. (See Figure S.)
Place a square on the Table (126).7.
If the Saw Blade is not 45°, loosen
the Nut (253) and turn the Stop Bolt
(254) in or out. Tighten the Nut (253).
(See Figure R.)
Check the accuracy of the Pointer on8.
the Angle Scale (105) on the front of
the Table Saw. Adjust the Pointer if
necessary. (See Figure S.)
To Adjust the Saw Blade
Parallelism
This Table Saw will give the best1.
results if the Miter (401 thru 419)
assembly is square to, and the Rip
Fence (1 thru 17) assembly are ad-
justed parallel to the Saw Blade. If
either assembly is not exactly parallel,
the saw cuts and nished work will
not be as precise. Also important, if
either assembly is not exactly in par-
allel the risk of kickback is increased.
To adjust the Saw Blade parallelism,2.
raise the Blade Guard (301) up and
out of the way of the Saw Blade.
(See Figure A.)

Select a tooth on the far side of the3.
Saw Blade and directly over the Table
Insert (131 or 136). Mark the tooth
with a marker. Measure the distance
from the side of the Saw Blade to the
right T-Slot edge in the Table (126) us-
ing a combination square. Make sure
to measure between the teeth, not on
the tooth. (See Figure T.)
Rotate the Saw Blade toward the front4.
so that the marked tooth is just above
the Table Insert (131 or 136). Mea-
sure the distance from the side of the
Saw Blade to the right T-Slot edge.
The two measurements should be the
same. (See Figure T.)
5. If the measurements are not the
same, loosen the four Capscrews
(102) that hold the Table (126) to the
Cabinet (101). Adjust the Table until
the two measurements are the same.
Then, retighten the four Cap screws.
