GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MACHINES
Extreme caution should be used when operating all power tools. Know your power
tool, be familiar with its operation, read through the owner’s manual and practice safe
usage procedures at all times.
ALWAYS read and understand the
user manual before operating the
machine.
CONNECT your machine ONLY to the
matched and specific power source.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses
respirators, hearing protection and
safety shoes, when operating your
machine.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or
jewelry when operating your machine.
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT is
important. Keep the area free of dust,
dirt and other debris in the immediate
vicinity of your machine.
BE ALERT! DO NOT use prescription
or other drugs that may affect your
ability or judgment to safely use your
machine.
DISCONNECT the power source when
changing drill bits, hollow chisels,
router bits, shaper heads, blades,
knives or making other adjustments or
repairs.
NEVER leave a tool unattended while it
is in operation.
NEVER reach over the table when the
tool is in operation.
ALWAYS keep blades, knives and bits
sharpened and properly aligned.
ALL OPERATIONS MUST BE
performed with the guards in place to
ensure safety.
ALWAYS use push sticks and feather
boards to safely feed your work through
the machine.
ALWAYS make sure that any tools used
for adjustments are removed before
operating the machine.
ALWAYS keep the bystanders safely
away while the machine is in operation.
NEVER attempt to remove jammed
cutoff pieces until the saw blade has
come to a full stop.

4
NEVER use a saw blade that has
missing carbide teeth, loose teeth, or
chipped or broken teeth.
NEVER stand directly in line with the
saw blade when feeding stock into the
saw.
NEVER place your fingers or hands in
the line of cut. If you slip, your hands
or fingers may come into contact with
the blade. Always use a push stick
when ripping narrow pieces.
NEVER allow visitors or helpers to
stand in line with the saw blade.
ALL GUARDS must be in place while
operating the table saw to ensure
safety.
ALWAYS feed the stock smoothly. Do
not force or twist the work-piece while
cutting.
NEVER allow anyone to “assist” you
by holding your work-piece at the out-
feed end.
MAKE SURE before making any
adjustments, the switch is in the “OFF”
position and the cord is un-plugged.
NEVER LEAVE the table saw
unattended while it is running.
DO NOT attempt to remove jammed
pieces unless the table saw has come to
a complete stop and the power switch
has been turned to the OFF position and
cord is unplugged.
NEVER attempt to cut stock “freehand”,
always use the rip fence or miter gauge.
ALWAYS make sure that the rip fence
is properly squared to the saw blade to
prevent kickback.
ALWAYS make sure that your saw is in
a stable position. Cutting heavy, long
stock may alter the stability of the saw.
In the event that this may occur, the saw
should be firmly bolted to the floor.
ALWAYS be sure that if using a mobile
base, wheels are firmly locked before
turning the saw on.
ALWAYS use a feather board and/or
hold-downs to support your work-piece
when necessary.
MAKE SURE you have read and
understood all the safety instructions in
the manual and you are familiar with
your table saw, before operating it. If
you fail to do so, serious injury could
occur.

PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX202 is equipped with a 120-Volt, single
phase motor which features a 3-conductor
cord and a 3-prong grounded plug to fit a
grounded type receptacle. Do not remove
the grounding prong to fit it into a 2-pronged
outlet. Always check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt. Make sure
the cord is plugged into a properly installed
and grounded power outlet.
To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
This tool is for use on a normal 120-volt
circuit and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it must be
attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.
Figure-4 120-Volts Outlet for CX202
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX202. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
In case if you really find it necessary to use
an extension cord, make sure the extension
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor
damage.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.

C. Blade Tilt Hand Wheel
It is used to adjust the angle of the blade. If
you want to adjust the blade angle, loosen
the lock handle (in front of the saw, under
the table) and turn the hand wheel. When
the blade is at the desired angle, retighten
the lock handle.
TEST RUN
Once you have assembled your machine
completely, it is then time for a test run to
make sure that the machine works properly
and is ready for operation.
During the test run if there is any unusual
noise coming from the machine or the
machine vibrates excessively, stop the
machine immediately and disconnect from
the power source and investigate to find out
the problem with your machine.
Check all the safety features on the
machine and make sure all the safety
features work properly.
WARNING
For the protection of your eyes, make
sure you are wearing safety glasses or
safety goggles while doing the test run.
Before starting the table saw, make sure
that you have read and understood the
manual and you are familiar with the
functions and safety features on this
machine
READ THE
MANUAL
WARNING
The safety instructions given in this
manual can not be complete because the
environment in eve
ry shop is different.
Always consider safety first as it applies
to your individual working conditions.

15
CONNECTING TO A DUST
COLLECTOR
CX202 features a 4” diameter dust port to
connect to a dust collector. When
connecting to a dust collector, use a proper
sized hose and make sure all the
connections are sealed tightly.
It is recommended to use a proper sized
dust collector with the CX202 to ensure
adequate dust collection.
Figure-24 CX202 dust port
BLADE GUARD
The blade guard assembly on your CX202
consists of a clear polycarbonate shield,
spreader and anti-kickback pawls.
The clear polycarbonate guard allows the
operator to see the blade cutting the work-
piece during the cutting operation. The
guard covers the blade on both sides and
lifts up as the work-piece is fed into the
blade and returns to the table surface when
the work-piece has passed through the
blade. It prevents flying wood chips which
can injure the operator and it also prevents
from accidental contacts of objects with the
blade.
At the back side of the guard there is a
metal plate called a spreader. The spreader
prevents the kerf of the work-piece from
pinching the blade and causing kick back.
The kick back pawls are designed such that
they allow the work-piece to move only
forward. During the cutting operation if the
work-piece moves backward, the anti kick
back pawls will dig into it and stop it.
RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife is a metal plate which
prevents the newly cut work-piece from
pinching at the backside of the blade and
causing kickback. Basically the riving knife
does the same job as the spreader. But the
main difference is that the riving knife is
installed below the blade height while the
spreader is installed higher than the blade.
WARNING
The fine dust particles produced by the
table saw can go into your lungs and
cause serious respiratory problems.
Make sure to wear a dust mask and
connect the table saw to a proper dust
collection system while operating it.
WARNING
Dust particles moving through the hose,
create static electricity. Ensure that you
use a grounding kit to dissipate the static
charge.

16
Figure-25 Riving knife
The riving knife is installed when doing non-
through cuts using a standard table saw
blade and for the cutting operations when
the blade does not cut all the way through
thickness of the work-piece.
Height Difference:
The riving knife should be installed with
1mm to 5mm height difference with the
blade height. It is recommended to keep
3mm to 8mm distance between the blade
(from the carbide tip) and the riving knife.
WORK-PIECE INSPECTION
Before cutting the work-piece, make sure to
inspect it for nails, staples, small pieces of
stone or metal and any other foreign object
which is dangerous to come in contact with
the blade.
If the wood contains any of these objects
and it comes in contact with the blade, the
object might fly and hit the operator or
damage the blade. For a safe cutting
operation, always inspect your work-piece
carefully before cutting and wear eye
protection.
Some woods with excessive twisting or
wrapping are un-stable while cutting. This
situation can be dangerous, because during
operation the work-piece can move un-
expectedly which can either damage the
blade or hurt the operator.
If the wood is slightly cupped, make sure
the cupped face of the wood is held against
the table or the fence. If the bowed side of
the work-piece is held against the table or
the fence, there will be a great possibility
that the work-piece move unexpectedly
while cutting, and cause kickback or injury
to the operator.
Some stock with large knots can damage
the blade and wet stock will give a poor
result.
WARNING
DO NOT use the riving knife with dado
blades. If used, the riving knife will be
higher than the dado blade and the work-
piece will hit the riving knife.
WARNING
The information above is just a guideline
for you to understand how to cut a work-
piece with slight cupping. If you are not
sure and do not have any experience in
cutting cupped stock, do not cut it.
Failure to follow these instructions might
bring personal injuries to the operator or
serious damage to the blade.

17
OPERATIONS
Before performing any of the following
operations, make sure all the parts of the
machine are assembled properly and you
have done the test run. Make sure you
have read the manual and you are familiar
using the table saw, knowing all the safety
features on this machine.
THROUGH CUTS
The operation, in which the saw blade cuts
the work-piece completely, is called through
cut. Ripping, cross cuts, miter cuts and
beveled cuts are examples of through cuts.
Figure-26 Shows an example of through cut
For clarity the blade guard assembly is not
shown in figure-26 but for your safety it is
highly recommended to use blade guard
when performing through cuts.
NON-THROUGH CUT
The operation, in which the work-piece is
passed over the saw blade and it does not
cut the work-piece all the way through its
thickness, is called non-through cut.
Since the blade guard can not be used
when doing non-through cuts, there is great
possibility of kickback. Make sure to have
the riving knife installed, when using
standard saw blade to perform non-through
cuts.
Figure-27 Shows an example of non-
through cut with standard saw blade
For clarity figure-27 does not show riving
knife, but it is highly recommended to install
the riving knife when performing non-
through cuts with standard saw blade.
RIPPING
Cutting solid wood with the grain and
cutting down the length of the work-piece is
called ripping.
With the power “OFF”, adjust the fence on
the rails according to the desired width of
the cut. Turn the blade height hand-wheel
to set the blade 1/4” above the work-piece.
Make sure that blade guard assembly is
working properly and use other safety
devices like feather board and push sticks.
Connect the cord to the power source and
turn the table saw “ON”. Let the blade reach

18
the full speed and feed the work-piece
through the blade using a push stick, until
the work-piece completely passes the saw
blade. See figure-28.
Figure-28 Ripping operation on CX202
After the work-piece is cut, let the blade
come to a complete stop and then remove
the cut-off pieces.
CROSSCUTTING
Cutting solid wood across the grain and
cutting plywood across the width of the
work-piece is called cross-cutting.
Remove the fence and mark the work-piece
where you want to start the cut. Set the
miter square to the correct angle. Place the
work-piece on the table so that the marked
point is aligned with the blade and the blade
is cutting the waste side of the line.
Connect the cord to the power source and
turn the table saw “ON”. Let the blade to
reach its full speed and hold the work-piece
against the face of the miter gauge. Slowly
push the work-piece with the miter gauge
and until it is completely past the blade. Let
the blade come to a complete stop and
remove the cut-off work-pieces.
Figure-29 Crosscutting operation on CX202
MITER CUTS
Miter cut is an angled crosscut performed in
the same manner as a crosscut, using the
miter gauge.
Place the face of the miter gauge against
the edge of the work-piece and miter gauge
bar across the face of the work-piece. Use
the bar as a guide and mark the angle of
cut with a pencil as shown in figure-30.
Place the miter gauge back into the T-slot
and hold the work-piece against the face of
the miter gauge. Push the work-piece with
the miter gauge slowly against the blade
until the work-piece is completely past the
blade.
WARNING
Do not use your fingers to feed narrow
work-pieces into the blade. Always use a
push stick to prevent the possibility of
injury.

19
Figure-30 Marking the angle of cut
BEVEL CUTS
The CX202 blade can be tilted to the left
between 0° and 45° by rotating the blade tilt
hand wheel. This feature of the saw allows
making bevel cuts.
To make bevel cuts, loosen the blade tilt
lock handle. Rotate the blade tilt hand
wheel to the desired angle, looking at the tilt
scale and lock the hand wheel by
retightening the lock handle.
After that, proceed to make the cut in the
same manner as in “Cross Cutting”.
FENCE SCALE
ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the fence and the rails, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the
cord is disconnected from the power
source.
Remove the blade guard and Slide the
fence against the saw blade and push the
fence handle down to lock it on the rails.
The “0” on the scale tape (to the right side
of the blade) is aligned with the red line on
the optical cursor attached to the right side
of the fence.
Now remove the fence and place it on the
rails to the left side of the blade. Check if
the “0” on the tape scale it aligned with the
red line on the optical cursor. If not then the
fence rails needs to be adjusted.
To adjust the fence rails, loosen the nuts
and bolts securing the fence rails to the
table and extension wings. Slide the fence
rails so that the “0” on the scale tapes, on
both sides of the fence are aligned with the
red lines on both optical cursors on the left
and right sides of the fence.
Re-tighten the nuts and secure the fence
rails to the main table and extension wings.
Figure-31 Aligning the red line with the “0”
For more accurate angles, and to check
that your saw blade is at the exact angle
you need, use
a digital angle finder.

MAIN TABLE TO BLADE
PARALLELISM
Your CX202 will give a better result if the
main table is parallel to the blade. If it is not
parallel, the result you will get will be poor
and low quality.
To check if the table is parallel to the blade,
use an adjustable square and measure the
distance between the miter slot on the table
and the edge of the blade (front or back) as
shown in figure-32.
Figure-32 Measuring the distance using an
adjustable square
Now, lock the square in place and mark the
blade with a marker where you made the
measurement. Rotate the blade so that the
mark is opposite to the first position (front or
back) and slide the square to check if the
blade is at the same distance with the miter
slot.
The measurement should be equal on both
sides. If the measurements are not the
same, the table needs to be adjusted
parallel to the blade.
To adjust the table:
Make sure the switch is in the “OFF”
position and the cord is unplugged from the
power source.
Loosen the four mounting bolts (shown in
figure-33) securing the table on the cabinet
and adjust the table to get equal
measurements on both sides of the blade.
Once the table is parallel to the blade, re-
tighten the mounting bolts.
Figure-33 Mounting bolts location
SPREADER AND RIVING
KNIFE ALIGNMENT
The blade guard spreader and riving knife
must be aligned with the blade for safe and
accurate cutting operation. If the blade
guard spreader or the riving knife is not
aligned with the blade, the work-piece will
be pushed sideways during operation and
increasing the risk of kick back.
Make sure the switch is “OFF” and check
the spreader or riving knife alignment using
a straight-edge. Raise the blade to the
maximum height using the blade height
