GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• 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.
2) Electrical safety
• 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 reduce the 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 of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces 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.
3) Personal safety
• 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 a 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 to ol 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.
• 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.
4) Power tool use and care
• 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.
5) Service
• 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! Read warnings and conditions about your
carbide-tipped saw blade.
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.
• 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 workpiece, 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 electric 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.
• 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 the 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 clamps or a vice to hold workpiece when
practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to

5
PALMGREN Operating Manual & Parts List 9683408
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Safety instructions for table saws
1) Guarding related warnings
• 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.
• 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.
2) Cutting procedures warnings
• 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 between the hand and 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.
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.
• 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.
• 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,

7
PALMGREN Operating Manual & Parts List 9683408
stalling and kickback.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
• 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 mesocveri port itoipn 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.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table
for wide or long workpieces. 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 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; 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 electric 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.
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.
WARNING! Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool.
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.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120V, 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.
Recommended size for extension cords
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 A time-delayed fuse, and should be
protected with a timedelayed 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.
WARNING! To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to
the tool, use proper circuit protection.
WARNING! Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or
other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure
to do so can result in serious personal injury.
Danger! Keep hands away from blade.

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.

PALMGREN Operating Manual & Parts List 9683408
This table can be extended to provide extra support for long
workpieces during ripping.
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
panelling.
Right extension table:
The extension table 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.
Operating components:
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is
surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the
blade is set with a handwheel on the front of the cabinet.
Detailed instructions are provided in the “Operating Instructions”
section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross cuts, mitre cuts,
bevel cuts and compound cuts. The rip fence is used to position
work for lengthwise cuts. A scale on the front rail shows the
distance between the rip fence and the blade.
It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for all
through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly includes:
riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and plastic blade guard.
Applications:
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below:
• Straight-line cutting operations such as cross cutting, ripping,
mitring 0–45° mitre angle, bevel crosscutting 0–45° blade bevel
and 90° mitre angle and 0–45° blade bevel and 0–45° mitre angle.
• Dado cuts with optional accessories.
• 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.

• Remove the blade guard assembly and anti-kickback pawls
assembly.
• Raise the locking handle (1) to allow the rip fence (2) to be moved.
• Place the framing square (3) beside the blade, and move the rip
fence up to the square. Note the measurement on the rip scale.
• Move the fence back and rotate the framing square (3) 180° to
check the other side.
• If the two measurements are not the same, loosen the two socket
head bolts (4) on the rip fence and then align it.
• Retighten the two socket head bolts (4).
• Replace the blade guard assembly and anti-kickback pawls
assembly.
• Make two or three test cuts using scrap wood. If the cuts are not
true, repeat the process.
USE SUB FENCE ASSEMBLY (FOR RIP CUTTING NARROW
WORKPIECE)
Refer to Figure 12
When ripping a narrow workpiece, it is necessary to attach the sub

• Have push sticks available and accessible.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, have push
stick ready to use before starting cut.
WARNING! Feed the workpiece into the saw blade 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.
WARNING! When the tool is in maintenance or servicing or not in
use, ALWAYS turn off saw and unplug the saw. The saw will
automatically shut down when in a power failure; restart the
machine by pressing the green "I" button on the on/off switch.
WARNING!
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade
before operating the switch to start the saw. Blade contact could
result in kickback or thrown workpiece.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make sure the
switch is in the OFF position before plugging saw into the power
source.
WARNING! DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this
tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING! The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety goggles or standard safety glasses
with side shields complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 before
commencing power tool operation.
WARNING! Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed
except for dado and other non-through cuts. Reinstall the blade
guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations
which require removal of the blade guard. Failure to heed this
instruction could result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below:
• Straight-line cutting operations, such as crosscutting, ripping,
mitring, and compound cutting.
• Dado with optional accessories.
CAUTION! This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood
composition products only. Never cut metals, cement board, or
masonry.
OPERATING COMPONENTS
• The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and
is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of
the blade is set with a height-adjusting knob on the height/bevel
adjusting handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this
manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts, and
compound cuts.
• The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts.
• It’s very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and
blade guard for all through-cut sawing operations.
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
