WARNING
Read this manual ompletely and observe all warning labels on the ma hine. Oliver Ma hinery has made
every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use pie e of ma hinery. Safety, however, is ultimately
the responsibility of the individual ma hine operator. As with any pie e of ma hinery, the operator must
exer ise aution, patien e, and ommon sense to safely run the ma hine. Before operating this produ t,
be ome familiar with the safety rules in the following se tions.
•Always keep guards in place and in proper opera ing condi ion.
•Use blade guard for every applicable opera ion including all hrough cu s. If guard is removed
for special non- hrough cu s such as dado and rabbe cu s, replace before fur her use of he
saw.
•Keep hands ou of line wi h he saw blade.
•Use a push s ick.
•Do no perform any opera ion freehand.
•Never reach around or over he saw blade.
1. If you are no properly rained in the use of a tablesaw do not use until the proper training has been
obtained.
2. Read, unders and and follow the safety instru tions found in this manual. Know the limitations and
hazards asso iated with this ma hine.
3. Elec rical grounding: Make ertain that the ma hine frame is ele tri ally grounded and that a
ground lead is in luded in the in oming ele tri al servi e. In ases where a ord and plug are used,
make ertain that the grounding plug onne ts to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding pro edure
indi ated in the National Ele tri al Code.
4. Eye safe y: Wear an approved safety shield, goggles, or glasses to prote t eyes. Common
eyeglasses are only impa t-resistant, they are not safety glasses.
5. Personal pro ec ion: Before operating the ma hine, remove tie, rings, wat h and other jewelry and
roll up sleeves above the elbows. Remove all loose outer lothing and onfine long hair. Prote tive
type footwear should be used. Where the noise ex eeds the level of exposure allowed in Se tion
1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations, use hearing prote tive devi es. Do not wear gloves.
6. Guards: Keep the ma hine guards in pla e for every operation for whi h they an be used. If any
guards are removed for maintenan e, DO NOT OPERATE the ma hine until the guards are
reinstalled.
7. Work area: Keep the floor around the ma hine lean and free of s rap material, saw dust, oil and
other liquids to minimize the danger of tripping or slipping. Be sure the table is free of all s rap,
foreign material and tools before starting to use the ma hine. Make ertain the work area is well
lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the
floor area where the operator normally stands and mark off ma hine work area. Provide adequate
work spa e around the ma hine.
8. Ma erial condi ion: Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots or with nails or other foreign
material. Do not attempt to saw twisted, warped, bowed sto k.
9. Opera or posi ion: Maintain a balan ed stan e and keep your body under ontrol at all times.
10. Before s ar ing: Before turning on ma hine, remove all extra equipment su h as keys, wren hes,
s raps, and leaning rags away from the ma hine.

11. Careless ac s: Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around, arrying on a
onversation, and “horseplay” are areless a ts that an result in serious injury.
12. Disconnec all power sources: Before performing any servi e, maintenan e, adjustments or when
hanging blades. A ma hine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used
until the maintenan e is omplete.
13. Job comple ion: If the operator leaves the ma hine area for any reason, the tablesaw should be
turned "off" and the blade should ome to a omplete stop before their departure. The key should be
pla ed in the “off” position, removed and given to a supervisor to prevent any unauthorized use of the
tablesaw.
14. Replacemen par s: Use only genuine Oliver Ma hinery fa tory authorized repla ement parts and
a essories; otherwise the warranty and guarantee is null and void.
15. Misuse: Do not use this Oliver tablesaw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,
Oliver dis laims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage whi h
may result from that use.
16. Drugs, alcohol and medica ion: Do not operate this ma hine while under the influen e of drugs,
al ohol, or any medi ation.
17. This machine is deigned for utting wood produ ts only. Do not use to ut any kind of metal or
substan e other then wood.
18. Never s ar he saw while a workpie e is in onta t with the blade.
19. Raise or lower he blade only when the ma hine has been turned “off” and the blade has ome to a
omplete stop.
20. Mi er Gauge and Rip Fence: Never use the miter gauge and rip fence at the same time.
21. Damaged Saw Blade: Never use a damaged saw blade or one that has been dropped. Che k the
saw blade for ra ks or missing teeth. Do not use a ra ked or dull blade or one with missing teeth.
Make sure the blade is se urely lo ked on the arbor.
22. Make sure the blade is running in the proper dire tion. Refer to the arrow on the blade. The teeth
should be pointing down when viewing from the front of the saw.
23. Alignmen : Che k the alignment of the splitter to the blade. Also, he k the alignment of the fen e
to the miter slot.
24. Heal h hazards: Some dust reated by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
onstru tion a tivities ontains hemi als known to ause an er, birth defe ts or other reprodu tive
harm. Some examples of these hemi als are:
•Lead from lead-based paint.
•Crystalline sili a from bri ks and ement and other masonry produ ts.
•Arseni and hromium from hemi ally-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To redu e
your exposure to these hemi als, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, su h as those dust masks that are spe ifi ally designed to filter out mi ros opi parti les.

Machine Prepara ion and Se up
WARNING!
The equipmen used o lif his machine mus
have a ra ed capaci y a , or above he weigh
of he ablesaw. Failure o comply may
cause serious injury!
The tablesaw must be positioned on a smooth,
level surfa e. The area must be well lit and
have plenty of room to maneuver with large
pie es of wood.
Level the saw front to ba k and side to side
using the supplied leveling bolts. Make sure the
saw is stable before being pla ed into servi e.
Clean all rust prote ted surfa es with a
ommer ial solvent. Do not use a etone,
gasoline, la quer thinner or any type of
flammable solvent, or a leaner that may
damage paint. Cover leaned surfa es with
WD-40 or a 20W ma hine oil.
Pay parti ular attention to leaning in the miter
slot and the fa es of table and extension wing.
Ex ension Wing Assembly
1. Atta h ea h extension wing to table using
the supplied hardware as shown in figure 1.
Snug but do not tighten the bolts.
2. Make sure the mating surfa es are flush at
both the top of the table and the front edge
of the table as shown in figure 2. If the bolts
have not been ompletely tightened, this an
be easily a omplished using a rubber
oated mallet or dead blow.
3. Fully tighten the bolts.
Handwheel Assembly
1. S rew in the speed handle and angle lo k
knob into their respe tive holes as shown in
figure 3. Use the supplied wren h to
se urely tighten the speed handle. Do the
same for both handwheels.

Rail Assembly
1. Install the front rail support to the saw using
the four supplied hamfered bolts found in
the hardware pa ket of the rails. It is easiest
to start with the first hole as shown in figure
4, using the floor to rest the end of the rail
on. Note that the rail omes pre-drilled for
use on other saws so it is a matter of lining
up the holes in the saw with the orre t rail
holes.
2. Set the front guide on the support bra ket as
shown in figure 5 and se ure into pla e with
the seven hex bolts also provided in
hardware pa ket. Be areful when pla ing
the rail on the bra ket that it does not fall off

Fence Assembly and Adjus men
1. Pla e the fen e on the rails and he k for
alignment with the mitre guage slot as
shown in Figure 7.
2. If the fen e is not parallel to the mitre guage
slot, lift the fen e off the guides and pla e it
on the table as shown in figure 8. Turn the
appropriate s rew, B to ompensate for the
differen e. Pla e the fen e ba k on the
guides and he k again for alignment to the
mitre guage. If it is still mis-aligned, repeat
the pro edure.
3. If the fen e does not se urely lo k into pla e
with the lo k handle, again adjust s rews (B,
Figure 8) inward equal amounts to put more
pressure on the lo king am to the rail.
4. If the fen e height with respe t to the table
needs to be adjusted use the leveling
s rews (A, Figure 8) in onjun tion with the
leveling knob on the other end of the fen e.
It is best to adjust the height as lose a
possible to the table as long as it doesn’t rub
or bind up on anything as it travels along it’s
rails.
No e: Before leveling he fence, remove he
plas ic screws (A, Figure 8) and apply a hin
coa of oil o he screws before re-ins alling.
Adjus ing he Scale Reader
1. Raise the blade to it’s maximum height.
2. Pla e the fen e
on the guides on the right side of blade and
then slide the fen e toward the blade.
Continue until the fen e just tou hes the
saw teeth. Do not push too hard or the
blade will defle t.
3. Looking at the
right side s ale reader, the red pointer
should mat h up with the zero mark. If not,
loosen the two s rews, B, Figure 9 and slide
the viewer to align the mark with zero.
Tighten the s rews.

degrees with the square. Make sure the
square is between the blade teeth.
3. Loosen the jam nut and turn the s rew until
it hits the stop (A, Figure 11).
4. If ne essary, loosen the s rew (B, Figure
13) and adjust the pointer to zero on the
ba k-up angle s ale.
45° S op
1. Using a 45 guage as shown in figure 12, tilt
the blade until it makes onta t with the
guage making sure the guage does not hit
the saw teeth.
2. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the bolt (A,
