1.
ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD,
splitter and
anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which they
can be used, including through-sawing. Through-
sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece when ripping or
cross-cutting.
2.
ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY
against the miter
gauge or rip fence.
3.
USE A PUSH STICK
when required. Always use a
push stick when ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping
instructions in this Operator’s Manual where the push
stick is covered in detail. A pattern for making your
own push stick is included on page 26.
4.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION ”FREE
HAND”,
which means using only your hands to
support or guide the workpiece. Always use either
the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide
the work.
WARNING:
FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR
CAUSE OF KICK-BACK & 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.
NEVER
use a rip fence when cross cutting.
8.
DO NOT USE
a molding 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
cross-cutting.
11.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE
without fi rst 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 splitter,
anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and
functioning. Do not release work before it has passed
all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is
twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide it along the fence. Do not release work before
it has passed all the way past the saw blade & is off
the table. 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.
16.
MOUNT
your table saw on a bench or stand
before performing any cutting operations. Refer to
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 9.
17.
NEVER CUT METALS
or materials which may make
hazardous dust.
18.
ALWAYS USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust
from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential
fi re 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 it comes
to a complete stop.
20.For proper operation follow the instructions in
this Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 9). Failure to provide sawdust
fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to
build up in the motor area resulting in a fi re hazard
and potential motor damage.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
To avoid electrical hazards, fi re hazards or damage to
the chop saw, use proper circuit protection. Always use
a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This power
tool is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect it
to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fi re, replace
the cord immediately i
f it is worn, cut or damaged in any
way.
EXT
ENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
Any extension cord must be GROUNDED for safe
operation.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be
grounded (3-wire with two fl at prongs and one round
ground prong).
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, make sure you use one
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
above shows the correct size to use according to
extension cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
NOTE:
The 12 to 16 Amp rating is correct for this tool. It
i
s highlighted in the table above.
Be sur
e your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualifi ed person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
o
bjects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Before
connecting the saw to the extension cord, make
sure the saw switch is turned OFF.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric
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
fi t the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualifi ed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION
of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor
(wire) with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK
with a qualifi ed electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole
grounding
rec
eptacles that
accept the saw’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.

RIPPING (FIG. W, X)
WARNING

!
To prevent serious injury:
●
Never use the miter gauge when ripping.
●
Never use more than one rip fence during a single
cut.
●
Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table
saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that
even a careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
●
Keep both hands away from the blade and path of
the blade.
●
The workpiece must have a straight edge against
the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or
bowed.
1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to
the table.
2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8” higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece fl at on the table and against
the fence. Keep the workpiece about 1” away from
the blade.
4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up
to speed.
5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by
pushing forward only on the workpiece section (1)
that will pass between the blade and the fence.
(Fig. W)
WARNING

!
Before using the saw each and every time, check the
following:
1. Blade is tight on the arbor.
2. Bevel angle lock knob is tight.
3. If ripping, fence knob is tight and fence is
parallel to the miter gauge grooves.
4. Blade guard is in place and working properly.
5. Safety glasses are being worn.
The failure to adhere to these common safety rules,
and those printed in the front of this manual, can
greatly increase the likelihood of injury.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and
crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the
grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece.
Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely
freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
WARNING

!
AVOID KICKBACK
by pushing forward on the section
of the workpiece that passes between the blade and the
fence.
Fig. W
NOTE
:
When width or rop is 2” to 6” wide use the push
stick to feed the work. When width of rop is narrower
than 2” the push stick cannot be used because the
guard will interfere… Use the auxiliary fence as
page 19.
6. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of
your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2),
fi nish the cut with a push stick. Make a push stick
using the pattern on page 30.
7. The push stick (3) should always be used when the
ripped workpiece is 2” to 6” wide. (Fig. X)
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick
(3) until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear
of the table.
9. Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning.
Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely
stops raise the anti-kickback pawls on each side of
the splitter and slide the workpiece out.

BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than “0”.
Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
side of the blade.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
Avoid injury from the blade contact. Never make through
saw cuts narrower than 1/2 in. wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped, your hand cannot
be safely put between the blade and the rip fence,
therefore, use one or more push sticks to move the
workpiece.
CROSSCUTTING
(FIG. Y)
To prevent serious injury:
•
Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table
saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that
even a careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
•
Keep both hands away from the blade and the path
of the blade.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in
the left side groove.
2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8 in. higher than the
top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece fi rmly against the miter gauge
with the blade path in line with the desired cut
location. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to
full speed.
5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter
gauge (3) and fl at against the face of the gauge and
fl at against the table. Then slowly push the workpiece
through the blade. (Fig. Y)
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade is completely stopped.
USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(Fig. DD)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an
auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or
short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood,
drill two holes through it and attach it the miter gauge
face with screws. Make sure the facing does not
interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade
guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make
a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a
sawhorse.
