attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will result in a drop in line
voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table on page 7 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.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
Any power tool can throw foreign objects
into the eyes and could cause permanent
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not
glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard
WARNING

– 5 –
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, riving knife
and anti-kickback pawls 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.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the mitre
gauge or rip fence.
3. ALWAYS USE a push stick, especially when ripping
narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this
Instruction Manual where the push stick is covered
in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is
included on page 36.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND,
which means using only your hands to support
or guide the workpiece. Always use either the
fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide
the work.
FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF
KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.
5. 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.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for
any reason.
7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.
8. DO NOT USE a moulding head with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the
direction of rotation only.
10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when
crosscutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn
power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor
damage.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear
and the sides of the saw table for long or wide
workpieces.
13. 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 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.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the saw blade.
15. 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.
1
6. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before
performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY
AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 14. Secure tool
properly to prevent unexpected movement.
17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may
produce hazardous dust.
18. ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust
from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential
fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for
additional sawdust removal.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING
UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until the blade
comes to a complete stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in
this Instruction Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 13). Failure to provide
sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow
sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a
fire hazard and potential motor damage.
21. USE ONLY saw blades recommended. 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.
22. 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.
23. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
against the direction of rotation of the blade.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
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 flat plate that fits into the cut
made by the saw blade and effectively fights 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. 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 fixed
object, and rises from the table and is thrown toward the
operator. Kickbacks can be avoided by attention to
the following conditions.
KICKBACK PREVENTION TIPS
a. Make sure the rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
b. 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.
c. 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 centre for
repair. The riving knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade and the anti-kickback assembly must stop a
kickback once it has started. Check their action before
ripping by pushing the wood under the antikickback
assembly. The teeth must prevent the wood from
being pulled toward the front of the saw.
d. 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.
e. Use saw blade guard assembly, anti-kickback
assembly and riving knife for every operation for which
it can be used, including all through-sawing.
f. Push the workpiece past the saw blade prior to
release.
g. Never rip a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or
does not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
h. Never saw a large workpiece that cannot be controlled.
i. Never use the fence as a guide or length stop when
crosscutting.
j. Never saw a workpiece with loose knots, flaws, nails
or other foreign objects.
k. Never rip a workpiece shorter than 10 in. (254 mm).
l. NEVER use a dull blade – replace or have
resharpened.
m. NEVER use a rip fence and mitre gauge together.
n. Keep hands out of saw blade.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
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. 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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or
use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows
a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has
a grounding conductor.
In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician
check the receptacle.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage
to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a
separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your 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 fire,
if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
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
fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualified 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 qualified 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 lag fuse. Before connecting the
motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
off position and the electric current is rated the same as
the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
