SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
1. GROUND THIS PRODUCT. The electrical power cord for this product is
equipped with a grounded 3-Prong Plug. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the Plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with this product. To
comply with the National Electric Code, and to provide additional protection from
the risk of electrical shock, the Table Saw should only be connected to a 110 Volt,
3 prong electrical outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI).
2. MAKE SURE THE POWER SWITCH (part #8E) IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD (part #8F).
3. DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Do not use the Power Cord (part #8F) to
pull the 3-prong plug from a power outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, and moving parts. Replace damaged cord immediately. Route the power
cord safely. Protect it from being damaged by other equipment in the shop. Do
not route the cord where it can be walked on or tripped over.
4. IF YOU USE AN EXTENSION CORD, MAKE SURE TO USE ONLY UL
APPROVED CORDS HAVING THE CORRECT GAUGE AND LENGTH. (SEE
FIGURE A.)

5. MAINTAIN A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not use this product in or near
damp or wet areas. Do not expose this product to rain. Keep the work area well
lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Use this product in a
well ventilated area. Do not operate this product in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. To avoid accidental electric shock, do not let your body
come in contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE EQUIPMENT. This Table Saw will do the work better and
safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.
SKU 46813 PAGE 4

7. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
8. REMOVE ALL ADJUSTING WRENCHES FROM THE TABLE SAW BEFORE
TURNING IT ON.
9. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure you are prepared to begin
work before turning the Power Switch (part #8E) “ON”.
10. DO NOT USE THIS TOOL FOR CUTTING METALS OR BRITTLE MATERIALS.
Do not cut dangerous materials, such as asbestos that can cause harmful dust or
vapors.
11. ALLOW THE SAW BLADE (part #14-I) TO SPIN UP TO FULL SPEED BEFORE
FEEDING WOOD INTO IT. When turning it off, allow the Saw Blade to spin
down and stop on its own. Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
12. Caution: Never pass hands directly over the Saw Blade (part #14-I) when
cutting the workpiece. Always push the workpiece into the Saw Blade, using an
auxiliary handle or push stick (not provided).
13. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL INTO THE SAW BLADE (part #14-I) WHEN
CUTTING. Apply moderate pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without
being forced.
14. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL STUCK IN THE MOVING PARTS
OF THE TABLE SAW WHILE IT IS PLUGGED IN AND RUNNING.
15. TURN OFF THE TABLE SAW IF THE WOODSTOCK IS TO BE BACKED OUT
OF AN UNCOMPLETED CUT.
16. ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE SAW BLADE (part
#14-I). Use an auxiliary handle or push stick (not provided) at all times.
17. MAKE SURE THE WORKPIECE IS FREE FROM NAILS AND ANY OTHER
FOREIGN OBJECTS WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE SAW BLADE (part #14-I).
18. ALWAYS FEED THE WORKPIECE INTO THE SAW BLADE (part #14-I) AND
AGAINST ITS ROTATION.
19. WARNING: When replacing the Saw Blade (part #14-I), ALWAYS replace it with
a Saw Blade rated at least 3,400 RPM to prevent possible injury.
20. REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACK. Kickback is caused when the Saw Blade
(part #14-I) becomes pinched, miss-aligned, or twisted during the cutting
process, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the tool.
SKU 46813 PAGE 5

20. (Continued) To avoid kickback, keep a firm grip on the workpiece at all times.
Support overhanging work pieces; as the work piece is cut and weakens it will
sag, causing a pinched Saw Blade. Push the workpiece slower than normal
when cutting through knots, pressure treated and green lumber. Do not attempt
to force the workpiece back on the cut line if the cut begins to go off line. Make
sure to set the depth adjustment of the Table Saw so that one saw tooth of the
Saw Blade projects below the work piece.
21. MAKE SURE THE WORKPIECE IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES DURING
OPERATION. Use a Roller Stand (not provided) with a larger workpiece if
necessary.
22. MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE WORKPIECE AT ALL TIMES. Never allow the
workpiece to rest on the moving Saw Blade (part #14-I) without safely holding on
to the workpiece.
23. BEFORE TRYING NEW OR COMPLICATED TECHNIQUES, STUDY THE
PROCEDURE, AND PRACTICE WITH SCRAP WOOD.
24. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE TABLE SAW FROM ITS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICES OR MAINTENANCE. Turn
off and unplug the Table Saw when leaving the work area, moving the tool from
one location to another, changing Saw Blades (part #14-I), cleaning sawdust
from the unit, etcetera.
25. NEVER USE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESSORIES. Never install unauthorized
accessories such as shaper cutters, wire wheels, grinding wheels or sanding
products.
26. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain 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 or other masonry products, 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 filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)
27. WARNING: People with pacemakers should consult with their physician(s)
before using this product. Operation of equipment in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed below, refer to the Assembly
Diagrams on pages 29 through 37 of this manual.
WARNING! PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES, MAKE
SURE THE 10" TABLE SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM ITS ELECTRICAL POWER
SOURCE.
To Mount The 10" Table Saw On A Workbench:
1. NOTE: If the 10" Table Saw is mounted onto a workbench instead of the Leg
Assembly, the workbench surface must have an opening for sawdust to fall
through. This opening must be as large as the opening in the bottom of the 10"
Table Saw Base (part #1G). A minimum height of 36" from the top of the Base to
the floor is recommended. (See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram G.)
2. With assistance, set the 10" Table Saw in a desired location on the workbench.
NOTE: Make sure the workbench provides a flat, level, sturdy surface capable of
supporting the weight of the 10" Table Saw, tool accessories, and workpieces.
3. Use the four 5/16" mounting holes located at the bottom of the Base (part #1G))
as a template, and mark the two points at which four holes will be drilled through
the workbench. Then, temporarily set the 10" Table Saw aside.
(See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram G.)
4. With a drill and a 5/16” drill bit (not provided), drill four mounting holes downward
through the top of the workbench.
5. Align the four mounting holes at the Base (part #1G) of the 10" Table Saw with
the four previously drilled holes in the workbench. Then secure the 10" Table
Saw to the workbench, using four 5/16” bolts of appropriate length, two lock
washers, and two nuts (not provided).
To Assemble The Leg Stand:
1. NOTE: Temporarily finger tighten all hardware mentioned in this section until the
Leg Stand is fully assembled.
2. Attach one Long Leg Brace (part #10B) to the lower mounting holes in two Legs
(part #4B), using one Carriage Bolt (part #5B), one Washer (part #3B), and one
Hex Nut (part #2B) for each Long Leg Brace. Repeat the assembly procedure
for the remaining one Long Leg Brace and two Legs.
(See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram B.)

3. Attach one Short Leg Brace (part #9B) to the lower mounting holes in two Legs
(part #4B), using one Carriage Bolt (part #5B), one Washer (part #3B), and one
Hex Nut (part #2B) for each Short Leg Brace. Repeat the assembly procedure
for the remaining one Short Leg Brace and two Legs.
(See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram B.)
4. Attach one Side Brace (part #7B) to the upper mounting holes in two Legs (part
#4B), using two Carriage Bolts (part #5B), two Washers (part #3B), and two Hex
Nuts (part #2B) for each Side Brace. Repeat the assembly procedure for the
remaining one Side Brace and two Legs. (See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram
B.)
5. Attach one End Brace (part #6B) to the upper mounting holes in two Legs (part
#4B), using two Carriage Bolts (part #5B), two Washers (part #3B), and two Hex
Nuts (part #2B) for each End Brace. Repeat the assembly procedure for the
remaining one End Brace and two Legs. (See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram B.)
6. Screw one Hex Nut (part #2B) onto the threads of each of the four Leveling Feet
(part #1B). Then, insert one Washer (part #3B) onto the threads of each of the
Leveling Feet. Insert a Leveling Foot, with its threaded portion pointing upward,
through the hole located at the bottom of each of the four Legs (part #4B). Insert
one Washer (part #3B) onto the threads of each of the Leveling Feet. Then,
screw one Hex Nut (part #2B) onto the threads of each of the four Leveling Feet.
(See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram B.)
7. Move the Leg Assembly to the desired floor surface working location. Adjust the
Leveling Feet (part #1B) so that the entire Leg Assembly stands level. Then,
firmly tighten all hardware, using an appropriate size wrench (not provided).
(See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram B.)
To Mount The Leg Stand On The 10" Table Saw Base:
1. With assistance,place the 10" Table Saw upside down on a flat, level, smooth
surface (i.e., cardboard) on the floor. Then, place the Leg Assembly upside down
on the Base (part #1G) of the 10" Table Saw. (See Figure D.)
2. Align the two mounting holes on the each of the two End Braces (part #6B) with
the two mounting holes on each end of the Base (part #1G). Secure the End
Braces to the Base, using four Hex Head Bolts (part #8B), eight Washers (part
#3B), and four Hex Nuts (part #2B). (See Figure D, and Assy. Diagram B.)
3. NOTE: Leave the 10" Saw Table upside down for the next assembly procedure.
