GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and knowing how to use your power tool.
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury,
do not plug the tool in until you have read and
understood the following.
1. READ and become familiar with the entire
Operator’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s
application, limitations and possible
hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that the keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches can cause accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp locations, or expose
them to the rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and
bystanders should be kept at a safe distance from
the work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL: By operating the tool
at the rate for which it was designed, it will do the
job better and more safely.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a tool or an
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 a loss of power, which will cause the
tool to overheat. The table on page 43 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.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or any
other jewelry that can get caught in the tool’s
moving parts. Non slip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to hold back long hair.
12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes,
which can cause permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI Safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they
break.
13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing
operation produces dust.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE
before servicing, and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the OFF

could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting edge
is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using
the tool, carefully check the guard or any other part
that is damaged to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function - check
for the alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
any other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
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 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. Do not attempt to
reverse out of a cut with the blade running.
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 on page 48.
17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may make
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 Operator’s Manual entitled OPERATION
(Page 57).
NOTE: On machines with no stand or if a stand is not
being used, a hole approximately 11’’ square must
be cut under the saw to allow sawdust to fall through.
Failure to cut this hole will cause sawdust to build
up in the motor area, resulting in a fire hazard and
potential motor damage.
1. ALWAYS USE A SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter
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 the 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 the 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 72.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION BY
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.
WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR
CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND
AMPUTATIONS. NEVER USE THE MITRE GAUGE
AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
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 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
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.

or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-lag fuse. NOTE: When
using an extension cord on a circuit with a #14 wire,
the extension cord must not exceed 25 feet in length.
Before connecting your tool 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. 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. If a properly
grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2)
can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-
contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the 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
the 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 three-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.
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 a loss of power, overheating
and burning out of the motor. The table on the right
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.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit
must not be less than #12 wire with a 20 A time-lag fuse
