SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAW
• No other people may stand in the direct vicinity of the machine when it is in use. People not operating the
machine must maintain a suitable, safe distance away.
• Never lay the power cable over the machine table.
• Use the push rod to pass the workpiece safely into the saw blade. Do not come too close to the saw
blade.
• Make sure that the thickness of the material to be cut is less than the maximum possible cutting depth.
• Never cut “hands-free”. The workpiece must always lie level on the machine table and be moved along
the stop. The workpiece must always be pressed hard against the stop.
• Never cut workpieces that are so small that they cannot be safely pressed against the stop and could
turn.
• Never cut workpieces that are so small that they cannot be moved by the push rod at a safe distance
from the saw blade.
• Only cut one workpiece at a time. Never cut several workpieces simultaneously. Workpieces must not be
placed behind or on top of each other.
• There is a danger of the workpiece “jamming” and slipping away.
• Make sure that the workpiece cannot slip while being cut or get jammed in the saw blade.
• Clean the work area and the workpiece after each cut.
• Never reach into the openings of the device. Never insert objects into the openings of the device (e.g. the
saw blade casing, dust extraction adaptor). There is a danger of being cut. Never reach around or over
saw blade.
• Never remove the cutting piece if the machine is still switched on or running. There is a danger of cutting
yourself.
• Cut workpieces may have sharp edges, ridges or wooden splinters. There is a danger of cutting injuries.
• Always switch the machine off and remove the power plug when you leave the machine.
• Never expose the device to rain or extreme moisture.
• Do not perform any cuts with this table saw other than those described in these operating instructions.
Do not saw seams and notches.
• Table saws must not be used for slitting (notches that end in the workpiece).
• Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious personal injury.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION:
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CUL REQUIREMENTS. FLYING
DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
The tool is loud and the sound can cause hearing damage. Always wear ear protection to help
prevent hearing damage and loss. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury.
USE DUST MASK:
Some dust created by sawing contains chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals come from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated
area with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING!
• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure to use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry
the current required by the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
loss of power and overheating of the tool.
• Use the extension cord only for intended purpose. Do not pull the extension cord to remove it
from the power socket.
CAUTION!
In all cases, verify that the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
licensed electrician check the outlet.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
a green outer surface, with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. 1. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
• Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and overheating. The table on the next page shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
• Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord, or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from
sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
• Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must consist of not less than #12 wire with a
20 A time-delayed fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the Off position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

Anti-kickback pawls:
Kickback is a hazard in which the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth on the
anti-kickback pawls point away from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled back toward the
operator, the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.
Bevel scale and bevel indicator:
The easy-to-read scale and indicator on the front of the cabinet shows the exact blade angle.
Saw blade:
For maximum performance, it is recommended that you use the 40-tooth, 10" (25.4 cm) carbide-tipped
combination blade provided with your saw. The blade is raised and lowered with the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel. Bevel angles are locked with the bevel-locking lever.
Blade guard:
The guard is installed over the riving knife. It protects the operator’s hand from being cut while providing a
clear view of the material to be cut during through-sawing cuts.

cutting operation.
Work table:
The surface to which the workpiece is attached while cutting.
Overload protection:
The saw is equipped with an overload switch to prevent the saw from overload damage. The saw will stop if
the machine is overloaded with cutting or low voltage. Turn the switch to the Off position and allow the
motor to cool down for at least five minutes. Press the overload switch button to reactivate the overload
switch. After the motor has cooled down, turn the switch to the On position. The saw should now start.
Wooden spacer:
The wooden spacer is attached on one side of the rip fence to prevent the material from being caught
between the bottom of the rip fence and the work table, when ripping material such as thin paneling.
Rear extension table:
The rear extension table is provided at the rear end of the work table. This table can be extended to provide
extra support for long workpieces during ripping.
Right extension table:
The extension tables is a separate part that is located on the right side of the work table to provide additional
support to the operator when cutting a wide workpiece.

KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW
• Cabinet making and woodworking.
Causes of kickback:
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the
operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from
the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is
well worth using precautions to avoid the risks.
Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following:
• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth.
• Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece.
• Twisting the wood while making a cut.
• Failing to support the workpiece.
• Forcing a cut.
• Cutting warped or wet lumber.
• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.
• Not following correct operating procedures.
• Misusing the saw.
• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.
• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
Avoiding kickback:
• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by
1/8 - 1/4" (3.2 - 6.4 mm).
• Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a
hammer. Never saw into a loose knot or nail.
• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting and the mitre gauge when crosscutting. This helps to prevent
twisting the wood in the cut.
• Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly before beginning a cut.
• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.
• Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly with both hands or with push sticks. Keep your body in a balanced
position to be ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.
• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
NOTE:
This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood composition products only. Depending on the shape of the
panel, use the rip fence or mitre gauge.

WARNING!
Failure to provide a sawdust fall-through and removal hole will cause sawdust to build up in the
motor area, which may result in a fire hazard or cause damage to the motor.
WARNING!
The table insert must be level with the saw table. If the table insert is too high or too low, the
workpiece can catch on the uneven edges, resulting in binding or kickback, which could result
in serious personal injury.
MOUNTING THE SAW TO ANOTHER SURFACE (Fig. 8)
If the stand is not used, the table saw must be properly
secured to a sturdy workbench using the four mounting
holes on the saw base.
The workbench must have a hole that is large enough for
sawdust removal.
• Place the table saw over the workbench tabletop and
mark four locations on top of the workbench by setting
the mounting holes at the saw base.
• Drill four 3/8" (9.5 mm) mounting holes (1) at the
marked location of the workbench.
If a hole for sawdust removal already exists in the
workbench, proceed to step 4.
• Mark a 11 x 11" (28 x 28 cm) square (2) centred
between the four mounting holes. Cut along the
marked location and remove cut piece, to create the
sawdust removal hole.
• Place the table saw on the workbench and align the
mounting holes of the table saw with the drilled holes
in the workbench. Fasten the table saw to the
workbench using bolts and nuts (not included).
