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.
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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoidbodycontactwithearthedor groundedsurfaces,
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.
Donot abusethe cord.Neveruse thecordfor 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 ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
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
ofdrugs, alcoholor medication.A momentof 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-skidsafety shoes, hardhat,or hearing protectionused
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
energizing 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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allowyou to becomecomplacent and ignoretoolsafety
principles.Acarelessaction can causesevereinjurywithin
a fraction of a second.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
Keepcuttingtools sharpandclean. Properlymaintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and 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.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
personusing only identicalreplacementparts.This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE AND ANTI-
KICKBACK PAWLS
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 pawls 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
orresawingcuts) which requires removalof theguard,
riving knife and/or anti-kickback pawls. The guard,
riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls 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.Incorrectspacing, positioning andalignment 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
knifeand anti-kickbackpawls areineffectivewhencutting
workpiecesthat aretoo short to beengaged 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.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
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 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.
Neveruse themiter gaugeto feedthe workpiecewhen
ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop
when cross cutting with the miter gauge. Guiding the
workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge 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 150 mm, and use a push
block when this distance is less than 50 mm. “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 miter 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 miter 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.

5 −English
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
Provideauxiliaryworkpiece support to therearand/or
sidesof thesaw tablefor longand/or wideworkpieces
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.
Donot removepiecesof cut-offmaterialwhile thesaw
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 2 mm thick. A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
KICKBACK
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
to 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.
Usea featherboard toguide theworkpiece against the
table and fence when making non-through cuts such
as rabbeting, dadoing orresawingcuts. Afeatherboard
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 minimize 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 miter 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.
Nevercut morethan oneworkpiece, 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.
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.
TABLE SAW OPERATION
Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power
cord when removing the throat plate, changing the
saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife,
anti-kickback pawls 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.
Accumulatedsawdust is combustibleand mayself-ignite.
The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not
properly secured may move or tip over.
Removetools, woodscraps, etc.fromthetable 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.

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
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.
Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
Usetheproperextensioncord.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 feet
or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
inobjects being thrownintoyoureyes, resultingin possible
serious injury.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate tool.
Userecommendedaccessories.Consult theoperator’s
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may risk injury.
Useonly correctblades.Do notuse blades withincorrect
size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that
are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity
of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
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
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
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.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
cutting operation is dusty.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
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 riving knife (splitter)
in place and in working order.
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.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
blade.
Do not reach behind the blade with either hand from
either side of the saw blade, to support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while
the blade is spinning.
The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting
surface, such as a workbench or leg stand that
positions the saw at waist height. In addition, provide
adequate support such as auxiliary tables, roller support
tables, outfeed supports, etc. when cutting heavy, wide,
or long . Heavy, wide, or long workpieces can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips,
it can lift the blade guard or be thrown by the spinning
blade.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the table saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source. Then work to
free the jammed material. After the material is removed,
verify that the blade is parallel to the miter gauge groove,
and the riving knife and blade are aligned. If the jam
occurredduringa ripcut, verifythat therip fenceis parallel
to the blade. Adjust if necessary.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Doubleinsulation is aconcept in safetyin electricpowertools,
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.
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 electrical
shock.
NOTE: 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 center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal
household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool 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.
POLARIZED PLUGS
See Figure 1.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW
See Figures 2 - 3.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as
well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before
use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating
features and safety rules.
ACCESSORY STORAGE - Convenient storage areas for the
push stick, riving knife, wrenches, blade guard, miter gauge,
anti-kickback pawls, and rip fence are located underneath
the saw table.
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Kickback is a hazard in which
the workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth
on the removable 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.
BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL - Located on the front
of the saw, this handwheel is used to make the adjustment
for bevel angles.
BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever under the worktable
surface on the front of the saw, locks the angle setting of
the blade.
BEVEL SCALE - The easy-to-read scale on the front of the
saw shows the exact blade angle.
BLADE - For maximum performance, it is recommended
that you use the 10 in. carbide tipped combination blade
provided with your saw. The blade is raised and lowered with
the height adjusting knob . Bevel angles are locked with the
bevel locking lever. Additional blade styles of the same high
quality are available for specific operations such as ripping.
Your local dealer can provide you with complete information.
Blade kerf width must be within the limits stamped on the
riving knife.
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of
this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result
in personal injury.
BLADE GUARD - Always keep the guard down over the
blade for through-sawing cuts.
BLADE HEIGHT LOCK KNOB - This knob, in the center of
the bevel adjusting handwheel, locks the height of the blade.
ELECTRIC BRAKE - An electric brake has been provided
to stop blade rotation after the saw is turned off.
HEIGHT ADJUSTING KNOB - Located on the front of
the saw, this knob is used to lower and raise the blade for
adjustments or blade replacement.

a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact
angle for a miter cut, with positive stops at 90˚ and 45˚.
MITER GAUGE GROOVES- The miter gauge rides in these
grooves on either side of the blade.
RAILS - Front and rear rails provide support for the rip fence.
RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece
and is secured with the locking lever. Grooves run along the
top and sides of the rip fence for use with optional clamps
and accessories.
NOTE:The lowfence shouldonly face the blade whencutting
narrow material that is 3/4 inches thick or less.
RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece of the blade
guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which
helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback. When in the
through sawing, or “up” position, it is higher than the saw
blade. When in the non-through sawing, or “down” position,
it is below the saw blade teeth.
RIPSCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale
provides precise measurements for rip cuts.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access switch
assembly located belowthe front rail.To lock the switch, install
a padlock (not included) through the holes in the switch and
cover. Make certain the switch is inoperable. If the switch
is still operable with the padlock installed, a padlock with
a larger shackle diameter must be used. Store the padlock
key in another location.
TABLE EXTENSION - Located on the side of the saw table,
the table extension gives the operator additional support
when cutting wide workpieces.
OPERATING COMPONENTS
The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table
and is surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The
height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of
the saw. To accommodate wide panels, the saw table has
rails on each side. Detailed instructions are provided in the
Operation section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross
cuts, miter 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.
SWITCH ASSEMBLY
