9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the 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
that the 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 4 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 Z87.1. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses.

13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing
operation produces dust.

3
TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, riving knife and
antikickback pawls assembly 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 WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or rip fence.
3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push block, especially 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 25.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND, which
means can using hands to support the workpiece, but
always use either the fence OR the miter gauge to
position and guide the workpiece.
18. ALWAYS USE IN A WELLVENTILATED AREA. Remove
sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior
of the saw to prevent a potential 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 the blade comes to a complete
stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this
Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 8). Failure to provide sawdust
fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build
up in the motor area resulting in a re hazard and
potential motor damage.
21. USE ONLY saw blades recommended with the warning
that 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.
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 at plate that ts into the cut made by the saw
blade and effectively ghts kickback by lessening the tendency
of the blade to bind in the cut. The blade guard assembly and
antikickback 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 antikickback 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 xed object, and rises from
the table and is thrown toward the operator. Kickbacks can be
avoided by attention to the following conditions.
How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect Yourself from
Possible Injury:
a. Be certain that 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.
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. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade against the
direction of rotation of the blade.
10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when
crosscutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE
without 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 riving knife, anti-kickback pawls
assembly 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 8. Secure tool properly to prevent unexpected
movement.
WARNING
FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR
CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND
AMPUTATIONS. NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE
AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
WARNING
17. Never cut metals or masonry products with this
tool. This table saw is designed for use on wood
and wood-like products only.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
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 center for repair.
The riving knife must be in alignment with the saw blade
and the anti-kickback pawls assembly must stop a
kickback once it has started. Check their action before
ripping by pushing the wood under the anti-kickback
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 pawls
assembly and riving knife for every operation for which it
can be used, including all through-sawing.
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 t
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualied 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 qualied 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 delay 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.
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, aws, 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 miter gauge together.
n. Keep hands out of saw blade.
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
grounding lug extending from it that MUST be connected to
a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.

hose in place unless the vacuum is turned on.
USING THE TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. MM)
1. Release the extension cam locking levers (1) in the front
and rear table positions.
2. Slide the table extension (2)
out until the correct
measurement is displayed on
the tube scale (3). The user
sights the scale off the edge
of the table.
3. Tighten all extension
cam locking levers (1).
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. (It is not
safe to rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping requires the use
of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
NEVER USE A RIP FENCE AND MITER GAUGE TOGETHER.

WARNING
Before using the saw each time, check
the following:
1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.
2. The blade lock knob is tightened.
3. If ripping, make sure the fence is locked into
position and is parallel to the miter gauge groove.
4. The blade guard is in place and working properly.
5. Safety glasses are worn.
Failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those
printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the
likelihood of injury.
RIPPING (FIG. NN, OO)
WARNING
To prevent serious injury:
• Never use a 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 clear
from the path of the blade.
• The workpiece must have a straight edge against
the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or
bowed when ripping.
1. Remove the miter gauge and store it in the “storage”
compartment in the base of the saw.
2. Secure the rip fence to the table.
3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in. higher than the top
of the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece at on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.
5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come to full
speed.
6. 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. NN)
7. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your
thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), nish the cut
with a push stick (3). To make an additional push stick,
use the pattern on page 25. (Fig. OO)
8. Continue pushing the workpiece (4) with the push stick (3)
or push block (6 - Fig. OO) until it passes through the blade
guard and clears the rear of the table. (Fig. NN)
9. Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning. Turn
the switch Off. When the blade completely stops, you can
then remove the workpiece.
BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle
is set to an angle other than 0°.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
To avoid injury from blade contact, never make cuts narrower
than 3/4 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, and your hand cannot
be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use
push stick or push block to pass the workpiece completely
through and past the blade.
HELPFUL DEVICES
In order to make some cuts, it is necessary to use devices like
a push block, featherboard or auxiliary fence, which you can
make yourself. Here are some templates for your reference.
WARNING
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward
on the section of the workpiece that passes
between the blade and the fence. Never perform
any freehand operations.

WARNING
When width or rip is narrower than 2 in.,
the push stick cannot be used because the blade
guard will interfere. Use the auxiliary fence (5) and
push block (6) as shown in Fig. OO.

WARNING
Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting operation. This will
cause kickback and serious injury to the user can
occur. When the blade completely stops, raise the
anti-kickback pawls assembly (7) on each side of the
riving knife and slide the workpiece out. (Fig. OO)

OPERATION
FEATHERBOARD (FIG. PP, QQ)
A featherboard is a device used to help control the workpiece
by guiding it securely against the table or fence. Featherboards
are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for
completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a
number of short kerfs to give a friction hold on the workpiece
and locked in place on the table with C-clamps. Test that it
can resist kickback.
MAKE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. PP)
Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick, 4 in.
wide and 18 in. long. To make a featherboard, cut one end of
the lumber at 60 degrees, then cut 8 in. long slots 1/4 in.
apart on the angled end as shown in Fig. PP.
USE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. QQ)
WARNING
WARNING
Place the featherboard against the uncut
portion of the workpiece to avoid kickback that
could cause serious personal injury.
• Never feed wood with your hands
when making any non-thru cuts such as rabbets
or dadoes. To avoid personal injury, always use
push sticks (1), push blocks and featherboards.
• Do not locate the featherboard to the rear of the blade.
If positioned improperly, kickback can result from the
featherboard pinching the workpiece and binding the
blade in the saw kerf. Featureboards are not used
during non thru-sawing operations when using the
miter gauge. Failure to heed these warnings can result
in serious personal injury.

AUXILIARY FENCE (FIG. RR)
Making the base:
• Start with a piece of 3/8 in. plywood at least 5-1/2 in.
wide or wider and 21 in. long or longer.
• Cut the piece to shape and size shown.
Making the side:
• Start with a piece of 3/4 in. hardwood at least 1-3/4 in.
wide or wider and 21 in. long or longer.
• Cut the piece to shape and size shown.
Putting it together:
• Fasten the pieces together with glue and woodscrews.
WARNING
Make sure the screw heads do not stick
out from the bottom of the base; they must be ush
or recessed. The bottom must be at and smooth
enough to rest on the saw table without rocking.
