GENERAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
(For All Tools)
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner's
manual carefully. Learn the tool's applications
and limitations, as well as the specific
potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool
before turning it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lighted. Do not use tool in presence
of flammable liquids or gases.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be
kept safe distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
10. 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.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. 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. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS 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. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner's manual for recommended
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 unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its 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.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a
power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal
injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Do not 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 vibration/wobbling 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. Always
assemble and install the blade guard following
the step by step instructions out-lined in this
manual. Through sawing operations are those
in which the blade cuts completely through the
workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting.
NEVER use the tool with a faulty blade guard
or secure the blade guard with a rope, string,

4
etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard
should be corrected immediately.
7. Immediately reattach the guard and spreader
after completing an operation which requires
removal of the guard.
8. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign material from the
workpiece before operation.
9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from
the table before the switch is turned on.
10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade.
12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in
line with the path of the saw blade.
13. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
spreader or workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
14. 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.
15. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect tool before making any
adjustments.
16. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces
to keep your hands and fingers well away from
the blade.
17. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a
sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the
ejection of the workpiece from the tool back
towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid
KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by
keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by
keeping the spreader, antikickback pawls and
blade guard in place and operating properly,
by not releasing the workpiece until you have
pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not
ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped
or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the fence.
18. Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or
miter gauge.
19. NEVER reach around or over saw blade.
NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw
blade has completely stopped.
20. 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.
21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade
or touch the blade guard while the blade is
running.
22. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
23. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
24. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
25. The guard can be lifted during workpiece
setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make
sure that guard hood is down and flat against
sawtable before plugging in the tool.

Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in the
bottom of the table saw. When securing the table saw on
the work bench, make sure that there is an opening in
the top of the work bench the same size as the opening
in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop
through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.
