Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using this tool, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp
or wet locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not
use electrically powered tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do
not let them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location
to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which
it was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed
the tool capacity.
6. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attach-
ment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications
for which this tool was designed. Do not modify this tool and do not use this
tool for a purpose for which it was not intended. REV 06c
Specications

Page 3SKU 93211 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught
in moving parts. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to
contain long hair.
8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety
goggles. Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal lings or wood chips.
Wear an ANSI-approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal,
wood, and chemical dusts and mists. The included eye guard is intended to
supplement eye protection, NOT replace it.
9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach
over or across running machines.
10. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized
technician. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease
at all times.
11. Disconnect power. Unplug tool when not in use.
12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are
removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
13. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when
not in use and before plugging in.
14. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any
tool when you are tired.
15. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving
parts; any broken parts or mounting xtures; and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a qualied technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not
turn On and Off properly.
16. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
17. Do not operate tool if under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reexes are impaired
while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use ac-

cessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available
from Harbor Freight Tools.
19. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required,
it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool
without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch re, or
cause electrical damage to the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord
of 0 to 10 amps capability (up to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer
extension cords require larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use
an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signied by “WA” on the jacket).
20. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualied technician.
21. Warning: People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before
using this product. Electromagnetic elds in close proximity to a heart pace-
maker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.
22. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chro-
mium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra
care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
23. WARNING: 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 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 lter out microscopic particles. (California Health &
Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
Note: Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on
variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool perfor-
mance.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.

Important
BEFORE rst use, the Guard (4) and Eye Guard (5) must be properly installed.
1. Remove the Screw (6) at the end of the Guard (4). Align the hole in the center
of the Eye Guard (5) with the hole in the Guard (4).
2. The hole in the Eye Guard (5) is countersunk to accommodate the Screw. Make
sure to install it the right way. Secure using the Screw (6), while being careful
not to overtighten.
3. Swing the Guard Bracket (1) up and remove the top Screw (3). Slide the
Guard (4) over the Bracket, aligning the holes in the Guard with the hole in the
Bracket. Make sure that the Eye Guard is on the top side of the guard and that
the rounded underside of the Guard rests over the blade.
4. Install the Screw (3) to secure the Guard in place.
Changing/Replacing/Installing the Blades
1. Be sure the Table Saw is unplugged before you begin installing or changing the
accessories.
2. You will need two adjustable Wrenches (not included) to install, change or
replace the Blades. Use one wrench to hold the Blade Spindle Lock Nut (14)
in place and the other wrench to turn the Mounting Nut (10). See Assembly
Diagram on Page 7.
3. Remove the Mounting Nut and the Right Blade Bushing (11). Slide the Blade
(12a,b) over the arbor, in line with the Left Blade Bushing (13). Replace the
Right Blade Bushing and the Mounting Nut. Tighten with the wrench.

Operation
1. Place your Table Saw on a at, level surface capable of supporting weight of
Table Saw and material being cut before use. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles when operating this tool and ensure that all guards are in place
and in proper working order.
2. Mark your work pieces with a pencil or other writing instrument before you be-
gin cutting. Loosen the Knob (7) on the Straight Edge Guide (8) and turn the
Guide to the appropriate angle for your specic cutting requirements. Tighten
the Knob to hold the Guide in place.
3. Plug in the Power Cord (24).
4. Lift the Eye Guard (5) and slide the Straight Edge Guide out far enough to allow
you to lay your work piece at on the Table (32). Lower the Eye Guard onto
your work piece. Never remove the Guard (4) or attempt to operate this
tool without the Eye Guard (5) in place.
5. Flip the Power Switch (18) to the On position.
6. Using the Straight Edge Guide to hold your work piece steady, gently feed your
work piece toward the Blade. Keep your ngers and all other body parts
away from the Blade at all times. If your work piece is particularly small, you
may want to use another small piece of wood or other material to push your
work piece toward the Blade. Do not push forcefully against the Blade, or use
materials that are particularly difcult to cut. If the Blade slows down as you
are feeding your work piece toward it, you are pushing too forcefully, or the
material is too hard for this tool to cut.
