ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and
anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which they
can be used, including through-sawing. Throughsawing operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece when ripping or
cross-cutting.

I.

.

.

.

.

.

.

ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or rip fence.
USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a
push stick when ripping narrow stock. Refer to
ripping instructions in this Operator's Manual where
the push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for
making your own push stick is included on page 30.

12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and
the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you)
by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to
the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, antikickback pawls and guards in place and functioning.
Do not release work before it has passed all the way
past the saw blade & is off the table. Do not rip work
that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide it along the fence.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the saw blade.

NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE
HAND", which means using only your hands to
support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the
fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the
work.

15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.
Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise
damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should
be used to clean plastic parts,

DANGER: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR
CAUSE OF KICK-BACK & FINGER/HAND
AMPUTATIONS.

16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before
performing any cutting operations. Refer to
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 9.

NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line
with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out
of the saw blade path,
NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for
any reason.
NEVER use a rip fence when cross cutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the
direction of rotation only.
10.NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when
cross-cutting.
11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn
power switch OFF and disconnect the plug from the
power source immediately to prevent motor damage
& before removing material

17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make
hazardous dust.
18. ALWAYS USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from
the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire
hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for
additional sawdust removal.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do
not leave the saw until it comes to a complete stop.
20. FOR proper operation follow the instructions in this
Operator's Manual. Failure to provide sawdust fallthrough and removal hole will allow sawdust to build
up in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and
potential motor damage (see page 10 for details).
21. DO NOT AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL USERS to
operate this power tool without the accompanying
operators manual for which the user must read and
understand.
22. THE REAR OF THE TABLE INSERT MUST BE
FLUSH TO THE TABLE during all sawing operations.
Two different inserts are provided for regular throughsawing operations and dado cutting where a rubber
adjusting spacer is provided under the rear of the
insert for this purpose.
23. DO NOT USE A DADO BLADE LARGER THAN 6"
in diameter and ½" in width.

POWER SUPPLY

REQUIREMENTS

GUIDELINES

FOR EXTENSION

CORDS

Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be
grounded (3 wire with two flat prongs and one round
ground prong).

GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching receptacle 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 receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor (wire) 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 NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
GROUNDING RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE
SAW'S PLUG. REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR
WORN CORDS IMMEDIATELY.

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, make sure you use one heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table above shows
the correct size to use according to extension cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
NOTE: THE 12 TO 16 AMP RATING IS CORRECT FOR
THIS TOOL. IT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TABLE
ABOVE.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. P)
1. The fence (1) is moved by lifting up on the locking
handle (2) and sliding the fence to the desired location.
Pushing down on the handle locks the fence in
position.
2. Position the fence on the table and along one edge of
the miter gauge grooves.
3. Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel
with the miter gauge groove.
4. If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to
the groove, do the following:
• Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle
(2).
• Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front of
the saw table. Move the far end of the fence until it
is parallel with the miter gauge groove.
• Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.
5. If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked
(downward) position, do the following:
• Move the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting
screw (5) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug. Do
not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn at a
time.
Over-tightening the adjusting screw will cause the fence
to come out of alignment.

To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not
connected to the power source, before making any
adjustments.
USING THE TABLE EXTENSION FENCE (FIG. N-2)

USING THE TABLE EXTENSION FENCE (FIG. W)
A. NOTE: For right ripping a 10" ~ 14" wide
workpiece, the right extension fence has to be
installed in the IN-RIPposition (Fig. N). For left
ripping a 11" ~ 16" wide workpiece, the left
extension fence has to also be installed in the INRIP position. Raise the fence to a position that just
clears the table surface and secure in place using
lock handles (1) for IN-RIP position.
B. For right ripping a 14" ~ 24" wide workpiece, the
right extension fence has to be installed in the
OUT-RIP position (Fig. N-l). For left ripping a 16"
~ 24" wide workpiece, the left extension fence has
to be installed in the OUT-RIP position.
1. Adjust the fence to the desired distance from the
blade by reading the rip scale located on the front
tube of the extension fence assembly.
2. Raise the fence so the top is approximately ½"
above the table of the saw and secure in position
by tightening the two lock knobs (t).
NOTE: NEVER USE A RIP FENCEAND THE MITER
GAUGE AT THE SAME TIME. KICKBACK CAN OCCUR.

CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and
crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and with
the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece.
Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely
freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge. Never use a rip
fence and miter gauge at the same time.

AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward that section of
the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the
fence. Use a push stick at all times.

Fig. X

Before using the saw each and every time, check
the following:
1. Blade is tight on the arbor.
2. Bevel angle lock knob is tight.
3. If ripping, fence lock handle is tight and fence
is parallel to the blade.
4. Blade guard is in place and working properly.
5. Safety glasses are being worn.

1

The failure to adhere to these common safety rules,
and those printed in the front of this manual, can
greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

RIPPING

To prevent serious injury:
• Never use the miter gauge when ripping.
• Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut.
• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table
saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even
a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a
severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the
blade.
• The workpiece must have a straight edge against the
fence and must not be warped, twisted, or bowed.
• DANGER - Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause
kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.

6. Keep your thumbs off the blade top. When both of your
thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), finish the
cut with a push stick. You can make a push stick using
the pattern on page 30.
7. The push stick (3) should always be used for any
ripping operation.
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3)
until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of
the table.
9. DANGER - Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause
kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.
When the blade completely stops raise the antikickback pawls on each side of the splitter and slide the
workpiece out.

Fig. Y

1. Remove the miter gauge. Secure the rip fence to the
table or if using the extension fence, set the position
and remove all other rip fences from the table..
2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8" higher than the top
of the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece about 1" away from the
blade.
4. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come up to
speed.
5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will
pass between the blade and the fence. (Fig. X)

]7

BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripped except the blade bevel
angle is set to an angle other than "0".

Always position the larger surface of the workpiece on the
table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting to avoid
unstability.

Fig. Z

Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
side of the blade.

3

2

Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a
cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious
injury to the user can occur.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES

Avoid injury from the blade contact. Never make
through-saw cuts narrower than 3/4" wide.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. AA)
0°-45 ° BLADE BEVEL & 90 ° MITER ANGLE
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting
except the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and
tighten the blade bevel lock knob.
2. Always work to the left side of the blade. The miter
gauge (3) must be in the left side groove (2). It
cannot be used in the right side groove unless the
miter angle is very sharp, as it will interfere with the
blade guard.

1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger
piece to obtain the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped, your hand cannot
be safely put between the blade and the rip fence,
therefore, use one or more push sticks to pass the
workpiece completely through and past the blade.
CROSSCUTTING 90 ° MITER ANGLE (FIG. Z)

To prevent serious injury:
• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table
saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even
a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a
severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of
the blade.
• DANGER - Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause
kickback and serious injury to the user can occur.

Fig. AP

1. Remove the rip fence lower all table extension fences
flush to the table and place the miter gauge a miter
gauge groove on the table.
2. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" higher than the top
of 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 one inch distance from the
blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full
speed. Never stand directly inline of the saw blade path,
always stand to the side of the blade that you are cutting
on.

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB)
0o-45 ° BLADE BEVEL & 00-45 ° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a

WARNING - Always work to the left side of the blade
during this type of cut. The miter gauge (3) must be in
the left side miter gauge groove. It cannot be used in the
right side groove unless the miter angle is very sharp, as
it will interfere with the blade guard.

5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter

MITERING (FIG. CC) 0°~45 ° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting
except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other
than 90 °.
WARNING - Always work to the left side of the blade
during this type of cut. The miter gauge (3) must be in
the left side miter gauge groove. It cannot be used in the
right side groove unless the miter angle is very sharp, as
it will interfere with the blade guard.
1. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the miter
gauge (3).
2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to
prevent the workpiece from moving.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE
(FIG. DO)
When performing some special cutting operations,
You can add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip
fence (2).
NOTE: Before using wood facing on the rip fence,
make sure the auxiliary fences are lowered flush to the
table top.
1. Use a smooth straight 3/4" 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 the hole in the fence. 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.

DADO CUTS (FIG. EE)
1. The dado table insert is included with this saw.
Remove saw blade and blade guard for dado cuts
only. Reinstall and realign blade guard for all through
sawing operations. Install a dado not exceeding 6"
diameter and ½" width and the dado table insert.
2. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the
separately purchased dado set.
3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width
of the cut to 1/2".
4. It is not necessary to install the outside flange (2)
before threading on the arbor nut (3) for maximum ½"
dado cuts. Make sure that the arbor nut (3) is tight,
and that at least one thread of the arbor sticks out
past the nut.
5. Use only the 6" diameter dado set and keep the width
1/2" or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade
guard and splitter when using a dado blade only.
Always use caution when operating a dado blade.
6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades
and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's
instruction manual. Blades/chippers must not exceed
1/2" total in width.
7. Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike
the housing, insert, or motor when in operation.

For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade
guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished
with the dado operation. You must also realign the blade
guard assembly.

all plastic parts,
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can damage
plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of the following cleaning chemicals or
solvents; ammonia and household detergents
containing ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
After each five full hours of operation, the blade raising
mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked
for looseness, binding, or other abnormalities. With the
saw disconnected from the power source, turn the saw
upside down and alternately pull upward and downward
on the motor unit. Observe any movement of the motor
mounting mechanism. Looseness or play in the blade
raising screw (1) (Fig. FF) should be adjusted as follows:
1. Using a 14mm wrench, loosen the check-nut (2).
2. Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the
