Safety isa combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your table saw
works.
WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE TABLE SAW UNTILTHE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL HAS
HAVE BEEN READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARNthe tool's
applications, limitations and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO NOT use power tools inwet or damp areas or
expose them to rain. Keep work areas well-tit.
3. DO NOT use powertools in the presence of flammable liquids or gas.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13. NEVER LEAVE POWER SWITCH ON WHILE UNATTENDED. Turn the power
switch to OFF. DO NOT leave the toot until it has come to a complete stop.
14. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is
accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.
15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at alt times. Wear oil-resistant

breakage, improper mounting or any other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks, master switches and
ALWAYS remove starter keys.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
that could affect your ability to use the toot properly.
20. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
21. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO USE OR OPERATE THIS TABLE SAW UNTIL THEY
HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
WARNING: DUST GENERATED FROM CERTAIN MATERIALS CAN BE
HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. ALWAYS OPERATE THE TABLE SAW IN A
WELL-VENTILATED AREA AND PROVIDE FOR PROPER DUST REMOVAL. USE
DUST COLLECTION SYSTEMS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
A table saw can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could
CAUSE permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses). Ordinary eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses...they are NOT safety goggles.

BEFORE USINGTHE TABLE SAW WiTH LASER LiNE
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TABLE SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS ]
1. ALWAYS USE THE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti-kickback pawls for every
operation for which they can be used, including through-sawing. Through-sawing
operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when
ripping or cross-cutting.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the mitre gauge or rip fence.
3. USE A PUSH STICK when required, especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to
ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A
pattern for making your own push stick is included.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE HAND"= this means using only your
hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or the
mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece.
WARNING: FREE HAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICK=BACK &
FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.
5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
Keep your hands out of the saw blade path.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the table saw for any reason.
7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross cutting.
8. DO NOT USE a moulding head with this saw.
9. FEED WORK iNTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only.
10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without first turning the table
saw OFF and unplugging the table saw. Immediately, turn the power switch OFF to
prevent motor damage.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the work table for long or
wide workpieces.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown backtowards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the
ripfence parallelto the saw bladeand by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawlsand
guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release workpiece before it has passed
beyond the saw blade's cutting arc. Do not rip pieces that are twisted, warped or that do
not have a straight edge to guide it along the rip fence.
14.AVOIDAWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the saw blade.
15.NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage plastic parts. Only a soft damp cloth should be usedto clean plastic
parts.
16.MOUNTyour table saw on a work bench or stand before performing any cutting
operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY instructions.
17.NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.
18.ALWAYS USE INWELL VENTILATED AREA. Removesawdust frequently. Clean out
sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.
19.NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not leavethe work area until the saw
comes to a complete stop.
20.Forproper operation follow the instructions in this Instruction Manual(Page 23).
Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will cause sawdust to build up
in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and potential motordamage.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This toot is
equipped with an electric cord that has 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (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 personnel if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the toot is properly grounded.
USE ONLY EXTENSION CORDS that have
3-pronged plugs. Only plug into 3-pronged outlets
that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.

CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION
IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IT IS, HAVE A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
I ARNING: THIS TABLE SAW IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO
RAINOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Make sure the extension cord is ingood 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. The table below
shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)
(when using 120 V only)
Ampere Rating Total length of cord in feet
More Than Not More Than 25' 50' 100' 150'
0 6 18' 16' 16' 14'
6 10 18' 16' 14' 12'
10 12 16' 16' 14' 12'
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 not be tess than a #12 wire
with a 20 A time tag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time lag 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.
I ARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
