To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, DO
NOT plug in the table saw until you have read and
understood the rules.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
This manual contains information that relates to PROTECTING PERSONAL SAFETY and
PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. It is very important to read this manual carefully
and understand it thoroughly before using the product. The symbols listed below are
used to indicate this information.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduces risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk or electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Care should be taken while mounting, using
and storing carbide tipped blades to prevent accidental damage.
Slight shocks, such as striking the tip, can seriously damage the blade. Foreign objects
on the work piece, such as wire or nails, can also cause tips to crack or break off.
Before using, always visually examine the blade and tips for cracks, breakage, missing
or loose tips, or other damage.
Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety instructions and warnings can
result in serious bodily injury or loss of eyesight.
Read instruction manual and know your tool. Read and familiarize yourself with entire
instruction manual. Learning the tool’s proper applications, limitations, and specific
potential hazards will greatly minimize the possiblity of accidents and injury. Make sure
all users are familiar with its warnings and instructions before using tool.
Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
Keep guards in place and in good working order. Blade guard must be in place for all
through cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-
through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard. Never operate the
saw without the blade guard in place for any cut which does not require it to be
removed. Make sure the blade guard is operating properly before each use. A guard
that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece
before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade
could cause a hazardous condition
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
WARNING!
The use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use protection appropriate
for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from the face and body.
Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to chemicals known to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION:
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual — even if
you are familiar with use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless
for even a fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of personal injury, do not modify this power tool or use accessories
not recommended to your tool.
WARNING!
Do not operate the saw without the proper blade guard in place for all through
cut operations. Make sure the blade guard is reinstalled immediately after finishing
any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard.
WARNING!
Read warnings and conditions about your carbide-tipped saw blade.

Disconnect tools. All tools should be disconnected when not in use, before servicing,
or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc. Turn the machine “OFF”
before disconnecting tools to avoid an accidental start when plugging the tools in
again. The accidental start may cause serious injury. Do not touch the terminal or plug’s
metal part when inserting or removing the plug from an outlet.
Do not plug in or pull out from power supply with wet hands to prevent electric shock.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may risk injury.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted. Do not use it as a stepping stool.
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 must be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service centre to avoid risk of personal injury.
Use the right direction of feed. Feed workpiece into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of blade or cutter only. Feeding the workpiece in the same
direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece,
and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off. Don’t leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Protect your hearing. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “w-a”
or “w”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Always keep the blade guard and spreader (riving knife) in place and in working order
for all through cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any
non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the
likelihood of kickback.
For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls to work, they must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback
pawls. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave
tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation. Distraction or a potential jam
can be dangerous.
Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Locate the tool in a level area.
It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of
your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a
safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while
operating.
Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was
designed.
Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming
occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the
saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
Use right tool. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for.
Don’t use it for a purpose not intended.
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Use only a cord 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. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25' (7.6 m) or
less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery. They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles that comply with United States ANSI Z87.1 and a face
shield or dust mask if operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Secure work. Use a clamps or vice to hold workpiece when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are secure.
Be sure blade path is free of nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
Never touch blade or other moving parts during use.
Firmly mount the tool on a secure surface to ensure its stability before operating the
tool.
Never start a tool when any rotating component is in contact with the workpiece.
Do not operate a tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
Use only recommended accessories listed in this manual or addendums. Use of
accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for
safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.
Double check all setups. Make sure blade is tight and not making contact with saw or
workpiece before connecting to power supply.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury. Use extra caution and keep your attention on your operation when
making repetitive cuts. Reduce the monotony of operations by frequently taking
breaks, cleaning up saw dust, or checking the tool's condition.
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A
guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or
replaced.
Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for every
through-cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts
completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
help reduce the risk of injury.
Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as
rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard, riving knife
and/or anti-kickback device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback device help to
reduce the risk of injury.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece
before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade
could cause a hazardous condition.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the
likelihood of kickback.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function
properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the
body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the
cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
Keep blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Sharp blades minimize stalling and
kickback.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach
underneath work or around or over the blade while blade is rotating. Do not attempt
to remove cut material when blade is moving. The material may become trapped
between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your
fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before
removing material.
Blade coasts after being turned off.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite
fumes.
Inspect tool cords periodically. If damaged, have repaired by a qualified service
technician at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation having an
outer surface that is green 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. Repair or replace a
damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep
it well away from the rotating blade.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Ground all tools. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a
three-hole electrical receptacle.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel, if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only correct electrical devices: 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
Keep tool dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents
to clean tool.
Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switches replaced
by an authorized service centre.
Use only correct blades. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade
washers or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of
your saw is 10" (25.4 cm). Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, causing loss of control.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES
For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work, they must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kickback device are ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback
device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
anti-kickback device.
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function
properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the
body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the
cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw
blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade
and result in serious personal injury.
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation.
Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the
table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip
fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece
with rip fence and the mitre guage at the same time increases the likelihood of saw
blade binding and kickback.
When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the
saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is
less than 6" (15 cm), and use a push block when this distance is less than 2" (5 cm).
“Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance
with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the
saw blade.
Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade.
Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use either the rip fence or the mitre
gauge to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means using your hands to
support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing
leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead
to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long
and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a
tendency to pivot on the table’s edge causing loss of control, saw blade binding and
kickback.
Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming
occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the
saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.

Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may
become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade
pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade
stops before removing material.
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than
1/16" (2 mm) thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same
side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity
towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or support the workpiece.
Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers
into the saw blade.
Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw
blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding
condition and kickback.
Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the
workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making
non-through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps
to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The
protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all
portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped,
knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the
saw blade, binding and kickback.
Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade
could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in
the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds,
it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.

3) Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or
misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of
the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear
portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or
saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise
binding, stalling and kickback.
Turn off the table saw and disconnect the battery pack when removing the table
insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kickback
device or blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary
measures will avoid accidents.
Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it off and don’t leave the tool
until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled
hazard.
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 provides enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors
invite accidents.
Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust
collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or
tip over.
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on.
Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
off-centre, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw
blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for your
saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping stool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction. Do not use
grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade
installation or use of accessories not recommended may cause serious injury.
Firmly bolt the saw to a work bench or leg stand at approximately hip height.
Never operate the saw on the floor.
Keep guards in place and in good working order. Blade guard must be in place for all
through cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any
non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard.
Guard against kickback. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece
is driven back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade resulting in
serious personal injury. Stay out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade
binds or stalls.
Use rip fence. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than
1/16" (2 mm) thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
Support large panels. To minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support
large panels.
Remove all fences and auxiliary tables before transporting saw. Failure to do so can
result in an accident causing possible serious personal injury.
Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Never place arms or hands in line with the path of the cutting blade.
Always use blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls on all through cut
operations. Through cut operations are those in which the blade cuts completely
through the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the
anti-kickback pawls down, and the riving knife in place. Make sure the blade guard,
riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls are reinstalled immediately after finishing any
non-through cut operations which require their removal.
ALWAYS lock the rip fence and secure bevel adjustment firmly before cutting.
ALWAYS secure work firmly against the rip fence or mitre gauge.
ALWAYS use a push stick. A push stick is a device used to push a workpiece through
the blade instead of using your hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must
always be narrower than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the
saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, so your hand does not
come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts.
NEVER perform any operation “freehand” which means using only your hands to
support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or mitre fence to
position and guide the work.
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long
and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a
tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and
kickback.
NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
NEVER reach behind, over, or within 3" (7.6 cm) of the blade or cutter with either
hand for any reason.
Move the rip fence out of the way when cross cutting.
Do not use the mitre gauge and rip fence during the same operation.
Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip
fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece
with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw
blade binding and kickback.
NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF and
disconnecting the saw from the power source.

CAUTION!
Follow safety instructions that appear on your saw.
CAUTION!
Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician.
For service, we suggest you return the tool to your
nearest authorized service centre for repair. Always
use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or
expose them to rain or snow.
WARNING!
Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool.
WARNING!
The double-insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electric shock.

Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long work
pieces. A wide or long workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing
loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back toward you) by:
1. Keeping blade sharp.
2. Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
3. Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard in place and operating.
4. Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade using a
push stick.
5. Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the fence.
Never cut metals, cement board, or masonry. These materials need to be cut by other
special tools. Cutting them with this tool can result in damage to the saw and personal
injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or
by an authorized service centre to avoid risk.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the cutting tool.
Make sure the work area has ample lighting to see the work and that no obstructions
will interfere with safe operation before performing any work using the table saw.
Always turn off saw before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when
reconnecting to power supply.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
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, and 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.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need
for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double-insulated tools
do not need to be grounded.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, double-
insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.

Be sure extension cords are properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it.
Protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit must not be less than #
14 wire with a 15 Amp time-delayed fuse, and should be protected with a time-delayed
fuse. Before connecting the tool 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’s
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
Danger! Keep hands away from blade.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION:
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. Make sure extension cords are in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn
current needed by the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power an overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on the cord length and
nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

it in place.
ADJUSTING KNOB
This knob is under the worktable surface on the front of the saw. Turn it clockwise to
slide the fence rails to right. Turn it counter-clockwise to slide fence rails to left.
OUTFEED SUPPORT
The outfeed support at the back of the tool gives the operator additional support when
cutting long workpieces.
MITRE GAUGE
The mitre gauge aligns the wood for a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the
exact angle for a mitre cut with positive stops at 0°, 22.5° and 45°.
MITRE GAUGE GROOVES
The mitre gauge rides in these grooves on either side of the blade.
FRONT RAIL
Front rail provides support for the front fence rail and rip fence.
RIP FENCE WITH A NARROW FENCE
A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece and can be fixed at three positions on the
extension poles. With rip fence locking knobs secure in place, the narrow fence can
support a workpiece that extends beyond the working table and support cutting a
narrow workpiece.
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.
