O_er's Manual
Specificsafety rulesfor the table saw (continued)
14.Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could dissolve or otherwise damage the
material. Use only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
15.Never cut metals or materials which may create hazardous dust.
16.Always use in a well-ventilated area. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the
interior of the saw to prevent a possible fire hazard.
17.To operate properly, this saw must be mounted on the leg stand or on a suitable work surface.
Failure to provide a sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the
motor area, which is a fire hazard and may cause motor damage.
18.Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
19.Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and its supports.
20.Use only sharp, clean blades with properly set teeth.
21.Do not use the saw without the proper blade insert.

Specificsafety rulesfor the table saw
,_ WARNING: Do not operate the table saw until it is completely assembled and installed 1
according to the instructions. /
01.Always usethe splitter and anti-kickback pawls for all operations, including through-sawing.
Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the
workpiece when ripping or cross-cutting.
02.Always hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge or rip fence.
03.Use a push stick when required. Always usea push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping
applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. Seethe push stick
pattern included in this instruction manual.
04.Never perform any operation"free hand"(using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece).
Always useeither the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.
05.Never stand or place any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands
out of the line of the saw blade.
O&Never reach behind or over the table saw.
07.Remove the rip fence when cross-cutting.
08.Feed the workpiece into the blade against the direction of rotation only.
09.Never use the fence as acut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
1&Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF.Turn off the power
switch immediately to prevent motor damage.
11.Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
12.Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back toward you) by keeping the blade sharp, keeping the rip fence
parallel to the saw blade, and keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls, and guard inplace and
operating.Do not release work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work
that is twisted, warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
1&Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could put you r hand in the
cutting path.

Grounding Instructions
IN THE EVENT OFAMALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped withan electric cord
that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTIONof the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOTconnect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand
thegrounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDSthat have 3-pronged Fig. A
plugs and outlets that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15 Atime-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line,
make sure the switch is in the OFFposition and the electric current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: To prevent careless mistakes, always pay close attention when using the table
_, saw. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause severe injury.
Cutting Operations (Fig. 23)
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and cross
cutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the
grail] of the workpiece. Cross-cutting is cutting across
the grail] of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor cross-
cutting is safe to do freehand. Ripping requires the
use of a rip fence, and cross-cutting requires a miter
gauge.
CAUTION! Eachtime, before you use the saw,
makesure:
• Blade is tight on the arbor. 1
• Blade bevel lock knob is tight.
• If ripping, fence knob is tight and fence is parallel
to the miter gauge grooves.
• Blade guard is in place and working properly.
• Saw operator is wearing safety glasses.
Failure to adhere to these safety rules, and those printed in the front of this
manual, can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.
A WARNING: To avoid kickback, push forward on the section of the workpiece that will pass
between the blade and the fence.
Ripping (Fig. 24)
1.Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the table.
2.Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" (3 mm) higher than the top of the workpiece (1).
3.Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece about
1"(25mm) away from the blade.
CAUTION! The workpiece must lay straight against the fence. It must not be warped, twisted,
or bowed.
4.Turn the saw ONand wait for the blade to reach full speed.
5.Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade by pushing forward mrly on the section of
workpiece (1)that will pass between the blade and the fence.
Owner's Manna!
Operation(continued)
6.Keep you r thumbs off the table top. When both of
your thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2),
finish the cut with a push stick (3).
7.The push stick (3) should always be used when
the ripped workpiece (1) is less than 6" (152 mm)
wide.
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push
stick (3) until it passes the blade guard and clears
the rear of the table.
9.Do not pull the workpiece back when the blade is
turning. Turn the switch OFF.When the blade
stops completely, slide the workpiece out.
Note: If the blade is jammed, raise the anti-
kickback pawls on each side of the splitter
and slide the workpiece out.

Bevel ripping
_ WARNING: Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the blade.
This cut is the same as ripping, but the bevel angle of the blade is set to an angle other than 0 °.
Ripping small pieces
WARNING: Avoid injury front blade contact.Do not make through-saw cuts narrower than
'_ 1/2" (13 mm) wide.
1.It is NOT SAFEto rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the
desired piece.
2.When you need to rip, a small width and your hand cannot safely be put between the blade
and the rip fence, useone or more push sticks to move the workpiece.

3.Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the blade path in line with the
desired cut location. Move the workpiece to a distance of 1" (25 mm) from the blade.
d_, WARNING: Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade.
4.Start the saw and wait for the blade to reach
full speed. Fig. 25
5.Keep the workpiece against the face of the
miter gauge and flat against the table. Slowly
push the workpiece through the blade.
8.Do not pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF,and carefully
slide the workpiece out when the blade is
completely stopped.
Bevel cross-cutting (Fig. 26)
This cutting operation is the same as cross-
cutting except the blade is at a bevel angle
other than O°.
1.Adjust the blade to the desired angle, and
tighten the blade bevel lock knob.
2.Always work to the right side of the blade.
The miter gauge must be in the right side
groove (1). The miter gauge must be used in
the right side groove or it will interfere with
the blade guard.

Compound miter cross-cutting (Fig. 27)
This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a
bevel angle.
1.Set the miter gauge to the desired angle (1).
2.Set the blade bevel to the desired angle.
3.Carefully push the miter gauge to begin the cutting
operation.
Miter cuts (Fig. 28)
This sawing operation is the same as cross-cutting, but
the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90 °.
1.Hold the workpiece (1) firmly against the miter
gauge (2).
2.Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade to prevent the
workpiece from moving.
Using wood facing onthe rip fence (Fig. 29)
When performing some special cutting operations, add
a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2):
1.Use a smooth, straight 3/4" (19 mm) thick wood
board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.
2.Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood
screws (3) through holes drilled through the fence.
Note:The holes inthe fence are not pre-drilled.
A wood fence should be used when ripping
material such as thin paneling to prevent the
material from catching between the bottom of
the fence and the table.

chlorinated solvents, ammonia, or any household detergents containing ammonia.
J,_ ARNING: All electrical and mechanical repairs should be attempted only by a qualified
service technician. Use only identical replacement parts. Any other parts may create
a hazard.
Blade elevation and tilting mechanism (Fig. 31)
After every five hours of operation, the blade elevation
and tilting mechanism should be checked for
looseness, binding, or other abnormalities. Disconnect
the saw from the power source, turn the saw upside
down and pull up and down on the motor unit. Observe
any movement in the motor mounting mechanism.
Looseness or play in the blade raising screw (1) should
be adjusted as follows:
1.Loosen the nut (2).
2.Adjust the nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the
bracket(4), then back off the nut (3) 1/6 turn.
3.Tighten nut (2). The maximum allowable play of
the screw rod (1) is 5/32" (4 mm). Place a small
amount of dry lubricant (such as graphite or silicon)
on the screw rod (1) at the thrust washer (5). Do
not oil the threads of screw rod (1). The screw
rod (1) must be kept clean and free of saw dust,
