READ CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE
Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. We always make
every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery. Safety, however, is
ultimately the responsibility of the individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery,
the operator must exercise caution, patience, and common sense, to safely operate the machine.
Before operating this product, become familiar with the safety rules in the following sections.
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any
medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris. Don't use power tools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the saw is in operation; do not permit
them to operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical
switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead
to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a
well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector. Wear safety glasses that
have impact resistant lenses, also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or other jewelry while the saw is in
operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the
machine and/or the feed table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all moving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear
away chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and in the proper cutting direction before
operation. Only feed the work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter.
11. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead
to accidents. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
13. If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stopping the table saw.
14. Do not force stock into the blade. The saw will perform better and safely when working at the
rate for which it was designed.
15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not have a flat surface. Always hold stock
firmly against the fence when ripping, or against the miter gauge when cross-cutting.
16. To minimize risk of injury in the event of work piece kickback, never stand directly in-line with
the blade or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.

3
17. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep
both feet on floor. Never lean over or reach over the blade and never pull the work piece
over the blade from behind.
18. Use out feed support or have an assistant help when ripping long material.
19. Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for
maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly reattached before using the tool again.
Never leave the machine running with the power on when not in operation.
Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by supplier may result in equipment
malfunction or risk of injury.
21. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the blade
is unintentionally contacted.
22. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or changing accessories such as blades,
or before performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjustments, or if the machine will be left
unattended.
23. Make sure that switch is in "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.
24. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with a 3-prong plug it should be used
with a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
25. Do not use this saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, we disclaims
any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that
use.
26. Before using the machine, Check that no guard or other part is damaged. Carefully check
to determine that all parts of the machine will operate properly and perform there intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
CAUTION: This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate injury and/or
possible machine damage
WARNING: This means that if precautions are not heeded, it could result in serious injury or possibly even
death.
WARNING: T he operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with
side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

10” TABLE SAW
Thank you for choosing this table saw.
This unit is carefully tested and inspected
before shipment.
To ensure optimum performance and trouble
free operation a reasonable amount of care
and attention is required.
To get the most from your new table saw,
please take the time to read this manual
before assembling, installing and operating
the unit.
The table saw features a circular blade that
can be raised and lowered to control the depth
of cut.
There is a rail-mounted fence, which slides
freely toward or away from the blade, is used
as the main cutting guide for the work piece.
The miter gauge is used to guide and support
the work piece during the cut when the work
piece cannot slide against the fence. The
miter gauge body can be rotated to allow a
wide range of cutting angles.
The blade guard assembly is equipped
with a spreader, anti-kickback pawls and
riving knife, which work to prevent kickback
and stop or slow kickback if it happens. The
machine is supplied with a riving knife.
The push Stick is used to support the work
piece during the cut and reduces the risk of
injury by keeping hands away from the blade
while cutting.

MOVEABLE CASTER & MACHINE
LEVELING
The machine is supplied with (2) casters with
leveling adjustors and (2) adjustable feet. To
level the machine adjust the leveling adjustors
on the castors using a open wrench and adjust
the leveling feet.
RESET PROTECTOR
Your saw comes equipped with a
manual-reset thermal-overload protector. It is
designed to open the power line circuit when
the motor temperature exceeds a safe level or
when motor is overloaded, or when a low
voltage condition exists.
NOTE: This motor should be blown out or
vacuumed frequently to prevent sawdust
buildup which can interfere with normal motor
ventilation.
Oncethemotor has cooled to a safe operating
temperatur e, r eset the thermal overload
protector by pushing the red button on the front
of the junction box. An audible click will indicate
the thermaloverload protector is reset.Once the
switch button is reset, the saw may be started
and operated as normal.
N OTE : I f t he reset b ut to nwo n't clickinto p lace
immediately, the motor is still
too hot
and must be allowed to cool.
Fr equent “blowing” of fuses or Tripping of
circuit br eakers may result if:
Motor is overloaded. Overloading can
occur if a work piece is fed too rapidly or if
the saw is misaligned.
Motor circuit is fused differently from
recommendations. Always follow
instructions for the proper fuse/breaker.
Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater
capacity without consulting a qualified
electrician.
Lowvol t a g e . A l t hough t h e mo t oris

T -slots to remo v e the grease.
UNPACKING
This table saw is very heavy. Get lifting help or
use power lifting equipment such as a forklift
to move this Table Saw.
CLEAR UP
The protective coating on the saw table
prevents rust from forming during shipping and
storage. Remove it by rubbing with a rag
dipped in kerosene, mineral spirits or paint
thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent- soaked rags according to
manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the
surface, may also be used to scrape off the
coating followed by clean-up with solvent.
Avoid rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces, as
many solvent-based products will remove
paint Fig. 2.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste
wax or use regular applications of any
after-market surface protected or rust inhibitor.
PLACEMENT THE TABLW SAW
This machine should be installed and
operated only on a solid, flat and stable floor
that is able to support the weight of the saw
(312 lbs-142 kgs).
Using the dimensions shown as a
guideline, plan for placement within your
shop that will allow the operator to work
unencumbered and unobstructed by foot
traffic or other tools or machinery.

Fig. 3

11
LOOSEN LOCK KNOB
If you could not loosen the knob by hands,
use the arbor wrench. See Fig. 4
ANTI-KICK BACK PAWL
The anti-kickback pawls allow the work piece
to travel in only one direction. If the work piece
moves backwards, the pawls will dig into the
work piece to slow or stop it Fig. 5.
The pawls must return to their bottom-most
position after pivoting.
Note: The right pawl is designed to tilt slightly
away from the blade guard assembly to
prevent the pawl from catching in the table
insert.
If the pawls fail to return to the bottom
position, the pivot spring may have been
dislodged or broken and will need to be
fixed/replaced.
RIVING KNIFE
Use the riving knife for all non-through cuts
made with a standard table saw blade or dado
blade. Use the riving knife for those special
operations where the blade guard or its
components get in the way of safe operation,
such as with very narrow cuts.
T he key difference between the spreader and
the riving knife is that the riving knife mounts
below the blade's highest point of rotation
T he riving knife must be kept within the range
shown in Fig. 6. A 10" blade is required for
operations that use a riving knife.
WARNING: In order to work properly, the
riving knife cannot be bent or misaligned
with the blade. If the riving knife gets
accidentally bent, take the time to
straighten it or just replace it. Using a
bent or misaligned riving knife will
increase the risk of kickback!
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OFF AND
UNPLUG THE SAW BEFORE REMOVING/
INSTALLING A RIVING KNIFE.

FENCE ASSEMBLY
ALIGN THE FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE
1. Slide the fence to the right T-slot on your
saw table top. Lock down the fence
handle and make a visual check that the
fence is parallel with the T-slot all along its
length. Also, you can place a small 3/4”
thick block of wood, upright into the T-slot
and slide it from the front to the back
checking its distance from the left edge of
the fence Fig. 12.
2. If the fence is not parallel, it can be adjusted
by using an Allen key to turn one or both of
the screws C or D Fig. 13. Do this slowly,
just an eighth to a quarter turn at a time, or
you will quickly overshoot the desired
adjustment.
Note: It is always good practice to
periodically recheck the alignment of your
fence to the blade.
ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PERPENDICULAR
(90°) TO THE TABLE
Place a machinist square on the table against
the fence and look for a gap between the
square and the fence (bottom and top) or the
table. If needed, adjust either of the two plastic
set screws to tilt the fence slightly and square it
to the table Fig. 14.
Fig. 12
WARNING: THE RIP FENCE MUST BE
PARALLEL TO THE BLADE DURING
OPERATION. FAILURE TO SET THE RIP
FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE CAN
RESULT IN KICKBACK AND POSSIBLE
SERIOUS INJURY

.
LEVEL THE FENCE
The fence should be parallel to the table and
sit approximately 2mm above the table’s
surface (so the fence will not scratch the table
and a thin work piece will not get stuck or
jammed under the fence).
To level and adjust the height of the fence:
1. Loosen the hex nut F on the leveling foot G
located under the rear end of the fence
Fig. 15.
2. Raise or lower the leveling foot until there
is a spacing of 2 mm (approx.) between the
bottom of the fence and the table, then
tighten the hex nut to lock the setting of the
leveling foot.
3. If needed, to level the fence, adjust the
plastic set screws E equally, thereby raising
or lowering the front of the fence an equal
amount on either side so as not to undo the
previous perpendicular adjustment Fig. 16.
ADJUST & ALIGN RIP FENCE POINTER
Set blade to 90° and raise it to the maximum
height. Move the fence till it lightly touches the
right side of the blade and push down the
locking lever to lock the fence in place.
With the fence locked in place against the
blade, loosen the pointer screws B Line up the
reference line on the pointer with the zero
point on the tape and re-tighten the pointer
screws Fig. 17.
Note: When changing blades, re-align the
pointer with the zero points on the tapes
to account for thinner or thicker blades.
DUST COLLECTOR
There is a 4" dust outlet located on the lower
left of the saw cabinet. This allows for the
connection to a dust collection system (not
included) Fig. 18.
1. Fit the 4" dust hose over the dust port, (not
included) and secure in place with a hose
clamp.
2. Make sure the hose could not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN ON THE DUST
COLLECTOR BEFORE STARTING THE SAW
AND STOP THE SAW BEFORE TURNING OFF
THE DUST COLLECTOR.

PUSH STICK
Always use a push stick Fig. 19 to reduce the
risk of injury. This will keep your hands away
from the blade while cutting. To maintain
control when cutting large work pieces, start
the cut by feeding by hand then use a push
sticks to finish the cut.
MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge is equipped with stop screws
that allow you to easily adjust the miter gauge
+45,° 90° and 45° See Fig. 20
To use setting to other than 90°, loosen the
lock knob A by turning it counter-clockwise,
pull the stop-lock pin B Fig. 21rotate the miter
head to 45°, or any angle shown on the
numerical guide. Turn the lock knob
clockwise to tighten it.
To check the accuracy of the miter gauge’s
factory set- tings, set it at 90° and check it with
an L-square or T-square. To verify the setting,
make a test cut in scrap stock and then use a
square to check the cut piece.
Repeat adjustment if necessary.

If the blade angle is incorrect, turn the 90°A
stop screw located on the table top to the left
of the blade until the blade is at the correct
angle. Fig. 22. Do not over tighten stop
screw.
Verify the 45°setting by tilting the blade as
far as possible to the left and using the
square check the angle and if needed adjust
as for the 90°stop, this time using the right
stop screw B Fig. 23.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE POINTER
The bevel pointer should read “0”when the
blade is at 90°to the table. If not, with the
blade set 90°vertical to the table, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the hand wheel by loosening the
hand wheel lock knob A Fig. 24
2. Once the hand wheel has been removed,
loosen the cap screw on the pointer
mounting bracket with screw driver Fig. 25,
and manually align the pointer with the
zero on the bevel scale, then re-tighten the
screw and re-attach the hand wheel.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE SAW HAS
BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM
THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE.

BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The blade height adjustment hand wheel A is
located on the front of the saw and there is a
lock knob B on the hand wheel that allows you
to lock the wheel and secure the blade at the
desired height Fig. 26.
To raise or lower the blade:
1. Loosen the blade height lock knob B by
turning counter clockwise.
2. To raise the blade: turn the hand wheel
clockwise. To lower the blade: turn the
hand wheel counter clockwise.
3. With the blade set to the desired height,
tighten the lock knob by turning clockwise to
lock the blade.
BLADE TILT /BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The blade tilt (bevel) adjustment hand wheel C
is located on the side of the saw. The bevel
locking lever D is located under the table at the
front of the saw and allows the user to lock the
tilting mechanism and secure the blade at the
desired angle Fig. 27.
To change the angle of the blade:
1. Loosen the bevel locking handle D by
turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Turn the hand wheel C left or right as
required to set the blade to the desired
angle. The blade can be tilted to the left
anywhere from 0° (90° to the table) to 45°.
3. With the blade tilted to the desired angle,
tighten the bevel locking handle by turning it
clockwise to lock the tilting mechanism and
secure the blade.
WARNING: TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO
THE BLADE AND ALSO TO MAXIMISE THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS (WHEN USING THE RIVING STYLE
SPLITTER & BLADE GUARD), NEVER HAVE
MORE BLADE HEIGHT THAN IS REQUIRED TO
COMPLETE THE CUT. WHEN SETTING THE
BLADE HEIGHT FOR THROUGH-CUTS (CUTS
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE THICKNESS OF
A BOARD) SET THE HEIGHT OF THE
BLADE TO ROUGHLY 1/4" HIGHER THAN
THE THICKNESS OF THE BOARD.

TYPE OF CUT
RIPPING
Cutting a wood plank or sheet of plywood
lengthwise to reduce its width is called “ripping”.
To rip stock, hold the work with both hands
pushing it into the blade as well as firmly
against the rip fence so that it is cut straight.
• Never rip or cut wood without using the miter
gauge to guide it because the stock could
kickback.
• Always use the blade guard and splitter
assembly when cutting wood. It has
anti-kickback fingers and a splitter to prevent
the saw “kerf” (the slit cut by the blade) from
closing and binding the blade, which can
overload and/or stall the motor or cause the
blade to lift and eject the work piece towards
the front of the saw at very high speeds. The
blade guard keeps your fingers away from
the blade and also reduces the amount of
sawdust flying free.
• Although certain operations require the
removal of the blade guard and splitter
assembly, it should always be replaced for
regular cutting.
• Raise the saw blade only about 1/4" higher
than the work piece to be cut.
WARNING: Keep the blade guard installed
and in the down position. Failure to do this
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
Note: NEVER REACH IN TOWARDS THE BLADE
WHILE THE BLADE IS STILL SPINNING!
WHENEVER A RIP CUT IS COMPLETED, TURN
THE SAW OFF AND WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE
REACHING IN TO REMOVE THE WORKPIECE
OR THE WASTE MATERIAL.
BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping is performed the same as ripping
but with the saw blade set to an angle, not
perpendicular with the table surface. The
blade can be tilted between 0° and 45°.
After changing the bevel angle verify the
alignment of the guard and splitter; make sure
there is clearance with the saw blade.
RIPPING SMALL WORK PIECES
Do not attempt rip cuts if the work piece is too
small, as this will mean that you have to place
your hands too close to the blade and will put
you at serious risk of injury. When ripping
narrower widths; use a push block or a push
stick in order to avoid placing hands near the
blade.
