of the tablesaw. ailure to comply may
cause serious injury!
The tablesaw must be positioned on a smooth,
level surface. The area must be well lit and
have plent of room to maneuver with large
pieces of wood.
Level the saw front to back and side to side
using a level placed on the table. Use shims
under the corners, if necessar , but make sure
the saw is stable before being placed into
service.
Clean all rust protected surfaces with a
commercial solvent. Do not use acetone,
gasoline, lacquer thinner or an t pe of
flammable solvent, or a cleaner that ma
damage paint. Cover cleaned surfaces with
WD-40 or a 20W machine oil.
Pa particular attention to cleaning in the miter
slot and the faces of table and extension wing.
Extension Wing Assembly
1. Attach extension wing (A, Figure 1) to table
with four hex head bolts, and four lock
washers (B, Figure 1). Snug but do not
tighten. Note: Start with one of the center
holes (C, Figure 1) to hold the wing in place.
2. Slide extension wing toward the front edge
of the saw table until two edges are flush.
3. Using a straight edge (D, Figure. 2), align
extension wing to saw table and tighten hex
cap bolts. Repeat for opposite wing.
Handwheel Assembly
1. Place handwheel (F, Figure 3) onto the saw
shaft. Use an allen ke to lock the wheel
onto the shaft with the set screw (G, Figure
3). Insert and screw the locking handle (H,
Figure 3) and the wheel handle (I, Figure 3)
into their respective holes. Repeat for other.

Rail Assembly
1. Rest the front guide support bracket on the
switch box as shown in Figure 4 and secure
into place using the chamfered bolts, nuts
and washers provided in hardware packet 7.
Note that the two outside holes require a nut
and washer as well as a bolt while the four
inside holes require the bolts onl .
2. Set the front guide on the support bracket as
shown in Figure 5 and secure into place with
the short bolts provided in hardware packet
7.
3. Install the rear guide as shown in Figure 6
using the supplied hardware. Note that the
two outside holes require a nut and washer
as well as a bolt while the four inside holes

ence Assembly and Adjustment
1. Place the fence on the guides as shown in
Figure 7. Look for the rubber nib on the
underside of the fence as shown and make
sure it lines up with the back support rail.
2. Align the fence with the mitre guage slot as
shown in Figure 7 and check to see if the
fence is parallel to the slot.
3. If the fence is not parallel to the mitre guage
slot, lift the fence off the guides and place it
on the table as shown in Figure 8. Turn the
appropriate screw, A to compensate for the
difference. Place the fence back on the
guides and check again for alignment to the
mitre guage. If it is still mis-aligned, repeat
the procedure.
Adjusting the Scale Reader
1. Raise the blade to it’s maximum height.
2. Place the fence
on the guides on the right side of blade and
then slide the fence toward the blade.
Continue until the fence just touches the
saw teeth. Do not push too hard or the
blade will deflect.
3. Looking at the
right side scale reader, the red pointer
should match up with the zero mark. If not,
loosen the two screws, B, Figure 9 and slide
the viewer to align the mark with zero.
Tighten the screws.
4. Move the fence
to the left side of the blade and repeat the
procedure for the left side viewer.

11)
4. Place a square on the table as shown in
Figure 11 and turn the blade tilt handwheel
until the blade comes into 90 degrees with
the square. Make sure the square is
between the blade teeth.
5. Tighten the 90° stop (A, Figure 11).
6. At this point it is time to calibrate the angle
displa to zero degrees. Push and hold the
0° set button as shown in Figure 12 until the
displa stops blinking. The 0° is now set.
7. If necessar , loosen the screw (B, Figure
13) and adjust the pointer to zero on the
