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 specic poten-
tial 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 loca-
tions, or expose them to rain. Keep work area
well lighted. Do not use tool in presence of
ammable 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 attach-
ment 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 resis-
tant 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 perfor-
mance. 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 acces-
sories. 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.

3ENGLISH
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 t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not t, contact a qualied 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 specied
on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with
voltage greater than that specied 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 under-
sized 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 ammable
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, anges (especially the
installing surface) and hex nut before install-
ing the blade. Poor installation may cause
vibration/wobbling or slippage of the blade.
6. Use saw-blade guard and riving knife/spreader
and antikickback pawls 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 outlined in this manual.
Through sawing operations are those in which
the blade cuts completely through the top of
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,
etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard
should be corrected immediately.
7.
Immediately raise the riving knife/spreader to the
Spreader position and reattach the guard assem-
bly and side guards, after completing an opera-
tion which requires removal of the guarding.
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
riving knife/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.

4ENGLISH
16. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces
to keep your hands and ngers 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 riving knife/spreader, antikickback
pawls and blade guard in place for every oper-
ation for which it can be used 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 discon-
nect 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 inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
25. The side guards can be lifted during workpiece
setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make
sure that the side guards are down and resting
at against sawtable before plugging in the
tool.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks
and push blocks when there is a danger that
your hands or ngers will come close to the
blade.
• Always hold the workpiece rmly with the table
and the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or
twist it while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or
twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.
• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade
is running. If you must withdraw the workpiece
before completing a cut, rst switch the tool off
while holding the workpiece rmly. Wait until
the blade has come to a complete stop before
withdrawing the workpiece. Failure to do so may
cause dangerous kickbacks.
• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade
is running.
• NEVER place your hands or ngers in the path
of the saw blade. Be especially careful with
bevel cuts.
• Always secure the rip fence rmly, or dangerous
kickbacks may occur.
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks
and push blocks when cutting small or narrow
workpieces, or when the dado head is hidden
from view while cutting.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts with-
out the need for the operator to contact the blade with
any part of the body.
NOTE:
• For your convenience a push stick has been
provided with the tool.

Wood facing (rip fence)
1
► 1. No. 10 wood screws (long enough to penetrate
halfway into facing)
A wood facing should be used for operations when the
blade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the
rip fence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make
sure the bottom of facing is ush with the table surface.
Ripping
CAUTION:
•
When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always pro-
vide adequate support behind the table. DO NOT
allow a long board to move or shift on the table. This
will cause the blade to bind and increase the pos-
sibility of kickback and personal injury. The support
should be at the same height as the table.
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that the anti-
kickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tool off and unplug
it. Feed the workpiece under the blade guard and along both
sides of the blade to simulate cutting. Try to withdraw the work-
piece on each side by pulling it toward you. The antikickback
pawls should grab the workpiece and prevent it from moving
back toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback pawls
sharp so they will operate properly. Keep them sharp by using a
round-shaped le to maintain the original shape of the pawls.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thick-
ness of the workpiece.
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and
lock in place by pivoting the grip. Before ripping, make
sure the rear end of the rip fence is secured rmly. If
it is not secured enough, follow the procedures in the
section titled "Installing and adjusting rip fence".
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into
the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the 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 in position against the rip fence.
(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2" -
6") wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece.
1
► 1. Push stick
(3)
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 auxil-
iary fence to the rip fence with two "C" clamps.

► 1. Auxiliary fence

16 ENGLISH
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is
about 25 mm (1") 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.

► 1. Push block
Cross cutting
CAUTION:
• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence
from the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always
provide adequate support to the sides of the
table. The support should be at the same height
as the table.
• Always keep hands away from path of blade.

17 ENGLISH
Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)
To prevent a long board from wobbling, t the miter
gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with bolts/
nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not protrude
from the face board.
Non-through cut
Turn off the tool and unplug it before any adjustment.
Remove the blade guard assembly from the riving knife/
spreader.
Adjust the riving knife/spreader to the RIVING KNIFE
POSITION as described earlier in the manual. Before
making a through cut adjust the riving knife/spreader
to the spreader position and install the blade guard
assembly and the side guards before operation.
WARNING:
• Conducting a through cut without proper
guarding may result in serious personal
injury.
Carrying tool
Carry the tool by holding the tool part shown in the
gure.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
Cleaning
Clean out sawdust and chips from time to time. Carefully
clean the blade guard and moving parts inside the table saw.
Lubrication
To keep the table saw in tip-top running condition, and
to assure maximum service life, oil or grease the mov-
ing parts and rotating parts from time to time.
Lubrication places:
• Threaded shaft to elevate the blade
• Hinge to rotate the frame
• Elevation guide shafts on motor
• Gear to elevate the blade
• Guide rails for the rip fence
• Shaft of the sub table (R) locking levers
• Sliding part of the sub table (R)

► 1. Limit mark
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. To replace
the carbon brushes, remove the blade guard and blade and
then loosen the lock lever, tilt the saw head and secure it at
45° bevel angle. Carefully lay the tool on itself backward. Then
loosen the brush holder cap. Remove the worn carbon brushes,
insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes.

WARNING:
• Do not use dado headsets wider than 21mm
(13/16") or dados greater than 6" in outmost
diameter.
• After dadoing, ALWAYS properly adjust the riv-
ing knife/spreader and replace the blade guard
assembly and side guards for through cuts.
• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.
• NEVER dado if there is vibration (utter) or a
strange noise.
• Feed work slowly, especially when cutting
deep or wide grooves or dados. If a deep cut
is needed, make several passes through the
workpiece rather than one deep, wide cut. Fast
or abrupt feeds can be dangerous.
• Use a push stick. When the dado head is hid-
den from view while cutting, your hands should
never be on top of the stock.
• A very dangerous throwback can result if the
wood becomes stuck and you try to remove it by
pulling toward you. Always stop the tool and wait
for dado head to come to a complete stop. Then
simply withdraw the wood.
• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for any non-through sawing operation
such as dadoing, rabbeting or re-sawing. Adjust
the riving knife/spreader and replace the guard
assembly and side guards.

2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run
the length of the stock. Facing should be as high
as the workpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade
to desired dimensions.
3. First cut: Hold board at on table as in ordinary
ripping.
4. Second cut: Set workpiece on its edge. (Use
featherboards, push stick, push block and so on,
using precautions, safety rules and guidelines for
ripping or related work.)
5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece is less
than 10-1/2" wide, rest the wood at on the table
against the miter gauge (with wood facing). The

PRÉCAUTIONS GÉNÉRALES
(POUR TOUS LES OUTILS)
1. VOUS DEVEZ CONNAÎTRE VOTRE OUTIL
ÉLECTRIQUE. Lisez attentivement le manuel
d'instructions. Familiarisez-vous avec les
applications et limites de l'outil, ainsi qu'avec
les risques potentiels qui lui sont spéciques.
2. MAINTENEZ LES PROTECTEURS EN PLACE et
en bon état de fonctionnement.
3. RETIREZ LES CLÉS DE RÉGLAGE ET DE
SERRAGE. Prenez l'habitude de vous assu-
rer que les clés de réglage et de serrage ont
été retirées de l'outil avant de le mettre sous
tension.
4. MAINTENEZ LA ZONE DE TRAVAIL PROPRE.
Les zones de travail et les établis encombrés
ouvrent grande la porte aux accidents.
5. ÉVITEZ L'UTILISATION DANS UN
ENVIRONNEMENT DANGEREUX. N'utilisez
pas les outils électriques dans les endroits
humides ou mouillés, et ne les exposez pas
à la pluie. Maintenez un éclairage adéquat
dans la zone de travail. Ne vous servez pas
de votre outil en présence de liquides ou gaz
inammables.
6. MAINTENEZ LES ENFANTS À L'ÉCART. Toute
autre personne que l'utilisateur de l'outil doit
se tenir à une distance sûre de l'aire de travail.
7.
FAITES EN SORTE QUE L'ATELIER SOIT SANS
DANGER POUR LES ENFANTS, en y posant des
cadenas, un interrupteur principal, ou en retirant
des équipements leurs clés de démarrage.
8. NE FORCEZ PAS L'OUTIL. Il effectuera un tra-
vail de meilleure qualité et plus sécuritaire s'il
est utilisé au régime pour lequel il a été conçu.
9. UTILISEZ LE BON OUTIL. Ne forcez pas un
outil ou accessoire à effectuer un travail pour
lequel il n'a pas été conçu.
10.
PORTEZ DES VÊTEMENTS ADÉQUATS. Ne
portez ni vêtements ni gants amples, ni cravate,
anneaux/bagues, bracelets ou autres bijoux
susceptibles d'être happés par les pièces
mobiles de l'outil. Le port de chaussures anti-
dérapantes est recommandé. Portez un let de
protection pour envelopper les cheveux longs.
11. PORTEZ TOUJOURS DES LUNETTES DE
SÉCURITÉ. Si le travail de coupe dégage de la
poussière, portez également un écran facial ou un
masque antipoussières. Les lunettes ordinaires ne
sont munies que de lentilles résistances aux chocs
; elles ne constituent PAS des lunettes de sécurité.
12. FIXEZ BIEN LA PIÈCE. Lorsque cela est pos-
sible, xez la pièce à travailler à l'aide de dis-
positifs de serrage ou d'un étau. Cela est plus
sécuritaire que l'utilisation de la main et libère
les deux mains pour le maniement de l'outil.
13. MAINTENEZ UNE BONNE POSITION.
Assurez-vous d'une bonne prise au sol et
d'une bonne position d'équilibre en tout
temps.
