through sawing operations. Always install the
blade guard following the 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, etc. Any irregular
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately.
13. Immediately reattach the guard and riving knife
after completing an operation which requires
removal of the guard.
14. 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.
15. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from the
table before the switch is turned on.
16. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
17. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade.
18. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in
line with the path of the saw blade.
19. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or workpiece before the switch is turned on.
20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
21. The tool should not be used for slotting,
rabbetting or grooving.
22. Replace table insert when worn.
23. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect tool before making any
adjustments.
24. 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.
25. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
26. 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 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.
27. 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.
28. NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER
reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has
completely stopped.
29. 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.
30. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade or
touch the blade guard while the blade is running.
31. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
32. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect
it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, water and sharp edges.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
-lead from lead-based-painted material and,
-arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
-Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
34. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device when
sawing.
35. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
Positioning table saw (Fig. 1 - 3)
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.
Storing accessories (Fig. 4 & 5)
Push stick, Triangular rule, blade and wrenches can be
stored on the left side of the base and the rip fence and
miter gauge can be stored at the right side of the base.
