proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or
misuse.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

INTRODUCTION
Controls & Components
Refer to Figures 1–3 and the following descriptions to
become familiar with the basic controls and components
of this machine. Understanding these items and how they
work will help you understand the rest of the manual and
reduce your risk of injury when operating this machine.
A. ON/OFF Button Switch: Push ON button to start
motor. Push OFF button to stop motor.
B. Blade Tilt Lock Lever:Secures blade tilt setting.
Move right to unlock and allow blade tilt adjustment;
move left to secure setting.
C. Blade Height/Tilt Handwheel:Rotates to adjust
blade height from 0–31⁄2". Rotate clockwise to raise
blade; rotate counterclockwise to lower blade. Push
inward and rotate to angle blade from 0°–45°.
D. Blade Tilt Indicator: Indicates angle of blade from
0–45°.
E. Blade Guard w/Anti-Kickback Protection: Clear
guard helps to prevent hands and fingers from
contacting rotating blade. Anti-kickback pawls and
spreader reduce risk of kickback (for information on
kickback and how to prevent it, refer to Page 12).
F. Fence: Supports long edge of workpiece during rip
cuts. Refer to Page 33 for more information.
G. Fence Lock Lever:Locks fence position. Move up to
loosen fence; move down to lock fence.
H. Fence Scale & Pointer: Indicates distance from
fence to blade. Set to desired width of finished
workpiece.
I. Fence Micro-Adjust Knob:Rotates to finely adjust
distance between fence and blade.

INTRODUCTION
The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this table saw and woodworking in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting
or operating this machine.
Arbor: A metal shaft extending from the drive
mechanism that is the mounting location
for the saw blade.
Bevel Edge Cut: A cut made with the blade
tilted to an angle between 0˚ and 45˚ to
cut a beveled edge onto a workpiece. Refer
to Page 35 for more details.
Blade Guard Assembly: Metal or plastic safety
device that mounts over the saw blade. Its
function is to prevent the operator from
coming into contact with the saw blade.
Refer to Page 28 for more details.
Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the miter
gauge is used to cut across the shortest
width of the workpiece. Refer to Page 34
for more details.
Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are
used to cut grooves, rabbets, or other non-
through cuts. Refer to Page 26 for more
details. The saw and arbor are not intended
to safely use a larger dado blade.
Dado Cut: Non-through cutting operation that
uses a dado blade to cut a flat bottomed
groove into the face of the workpiece.
Refer to Page 36 for more details.
Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the
workpiece against the rip fence and against
the table surface. Refer to Page 41 for
more details.
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece
after the saw blade passes through during a
cutting operation.
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is
propelled back towards the operator at a
high rate of speed.
Non-Through Cut: A cut in which the blade
does not cut through the top of the
workpiece. Refer to Page 24 for more
details.
Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every
point along two given lines or planes (i.e.
the rip fence face is parallel to the face of
the saw blade).
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect
and form right angles (i.e. the blade is
perpendicular to the table surface).
Push Stick: Safety device used to push the
workpiece through a cutting operation.
Used most often when rip cutting thin
workpieces. Refer to Page 44 for more
details.
Rabbet: Non-through cutting operation that
creates an L-shaped channel along the edge
of the workpiece. Refer to Page 39 for
more details.
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip
fence is used to cut across the widest width
of the workpiece. Refer to Page 33 for
more details.
Riving Knife: Metal plate located behind the
blade. It maintains the kerf opening in the
wood when performing a cutting operation.
Refer to Page 31 for more details.
Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).
Thin Kerf Blade: A blade with a kerf or
thickness that is thinner than a standard
blade cannot be used on this saw without
using a thin-kerf riving knife.
Through Cut: A cut in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece. Refer to
Page 24 for more details.
