GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For All Tools)
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Readthe owner's manualcarefully. Learnthetool's
applicationsandlimitations,as well as the specific potentialhazardspeculiar to
it.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools
in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
Don't use tool
in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
KEEP CHILDRENAWAY. Allvisitors should bekeptsafedistancefromwork area.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
DON'T FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do ajob for which
it was
notdesigned; for example, don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Wear no 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.
ALWAYS USESAFETY GLASSES. Also useface or dust mask ifcutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglassesonly have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer
than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAINTOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as
blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCETHE RISK OF UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Make sure switchis inoff
position before plugging
in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Beforefurther use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate
properlyand performitsintendedfunction
- check for alignment of movingparts,
binding of movingparts, breakageof 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.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVETOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave
tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
22. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZEDPLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a
polarizedplug(oneblade iswider thanthe other).This plug
will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. Ifthe plugdoes not fit fully inthe outlet, reversethe plug.
If
it still does notfit, contact a qualified electrician toinstallthe proper outlet.
Do not change the plug
in any way.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Don't use the tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. Never use the tool with an abrasive cut-off wheel installed.
4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged blade immediately.
5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface) and hex nut
before installing the blade. Poor installation may cause vibrationlwobbling
or slippage of the blade.
6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be
used, including all through sawing operations. Through sawing operations
are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as
in
ripping or cross cutting. Neverusethe tool witha faulty bladeguardor secure
the blade guard
with a rope, string, etc. Any irregular operation of the blade
guard should be corrected immediately.
7. Donot cut metals suchas nailsand screws. Inspectfor and removeall nails,
screws and other foreign matter from the workpiece before operation.
8. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from the table before the switch is
turned on.
9. Never wear gloves during operation.
IO. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade. Do not standor permit anyone else
to stand
in line with the path of the saw blade.
11. Make sure the blade isnot contacting the spreaderor workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
12. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let the tool run for a while. Watch for
vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
13. Usea pushstick when required. Pushsticks shouldbeusedfor rippingnarrow
workpieces to keep your hands and fingers well away from the blade.
14. Pay particular attention to instructions for reducing risk of KICKBACK.
KICKBACK isthe ejection of the workpiece from the tool back towards the
operator. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip
fence paralleltothe blade, by keepingthe spreader, antikickback fingers and
blade guard
in place and operating properly, by not releasingthe workpiece
until you have pushed
it all the way past the blade, and by not ripping a
workpiece that istwistedor warped or does not haveastraight edgetoguide
along the fence.
15. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand means using your hands
to support or guide the workpiece.
16. Never reach around or over saw blade.
4

17. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as possible when cutting hard
workpieces.
Do not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you stall or
jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the
tool. Then clear the jam.
18. Never remove cut-off pieces near the blade or touchthe blade guard while
the blade is running.
19. Don't abusecord. Never yank cordtodisconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Use of miter gauge
Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves
in the table. Loosen the knob on the gauge
and align to desiredangle
(Oo to SO0). Bring
stock flush up against fence and feed
gently forward into the blade.
Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)
To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit
the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence
board. Fasten with boltshuts after drilling
holes, but fasteners must not protrude
from the face board.
Ripping
CAUTION:
When ripping, removethe mitergauge from the table.
*When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support behind the
table.The support should be
at the same heightas the table.
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that the antikickback fingers operate
properly.Turn the tool off and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the blade guard and
along both sides of the blade to simulatecutting.
Try to withdraw the workpiece on each
side by pullingit towardyou. The antikickback fingers should grab the workpiece and pre-
vent itfrom movingback towardthe operator. Always keep the antikickback fingers sharp
so they will operate properly.Keep them sharp by using round-shapedfile to maintainthe
original shape of the fingers.

1. Adjust the depthof cut a bit higher than
the thicknessof the workpiece.
2. Position the rip fence to the desired
width of rip and lock in place by lower-
ing the grip. Before ripping, make sure
the rear end of the rip fence is secured
firmly. If itis not secured enough, follow
the procedures in "Installingand adjust-
ingrip fence" describedon page 10and
11.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the blade along with the rip fence.
i) Whenthe width of rip is 150 mm (6")
and wider, carefully use your right
hand to feed the workpiece. Use
your left hand to hold the workpiece
inpositionagainst the ripfence.
ii) When the width of rip is 65 mm -
150 mm (2-1/2" - 6") wide, use the
pushstick to feed the workpiece.
I
iii) When the width of rip is narrower
than
65 mm (2-1/2"),the push stick
cannot be used because the push
stick will strike the blade guard. Use
the auxiliary fence and push block.
Attach the auxiliary fence to the rip
fence with two
"C" clamps.
16

Feedthe workpiece by hand untilthe
end
is about 25 mm (I”) from the
front edge
of the table. Continue to
feed using the push
block on the top
of the auxiliary fence until the cut is
complete.
