CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

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, and

● 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 equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to

ﬁlter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and

wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

1. READ and become familiar

with the entire Operator’s

Manual. LEARN the tool’s

application, limitations and possible

hazards.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in

working order.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS

AND WRENCHES. Form the habit

of checking to see that keys and

adjusting wrenches are removed

from the tool before turning ON.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and benches

invite accidents.

5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS

ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use

power tools in damp locations, or

expose them to rain or snow. Keep

work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All

visitors and bystanders should be

kept a safe distance from work area.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF

with padlocks, master switches or by

removing starter keys.

8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will

do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not

force the tool or an attachment to do

a job for which it was not designed.

10. USE PROPER EXTENSION

CORDS. Make sure your extension

cord is in good condition. When

using an extension cord, be sure to

use the one heavy enough to carry

the current that the product will

draw. An undersized cord will result

in a drop in line voltage and in loss

of power which will cause the tool

overheat. The table on page 13

shows the proper wire gauge size

usage to each extension cord length

and ampere rating. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gauge. The smaller

the gauge number, the heavier

the cord.

WARNING

6 7

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do

not wear loose clothing, gloves,

neckties, rings, bracelets or other

jewelry which may get caught in

moving parts. Nonslip footwear is

recommended. Wear protective hair

covering to contain long hair.

12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION. Any power

tool can throw foreign

objects into the eyes and could

cause permanent eye damage.

TABLE SAW SAFETY

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE

GUARD, riving knife and anti-

kickback pawls assembly for every

through–sawing operation. Through

–sawing operations are those in

which the blade cuts completely

through the workpiece when ripping

or crosscutting. Always be sure

blade guard is tightened securely.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE

FIRMLY against the miter gauge or

rip fence.

3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push

block, especially 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 56.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY

OPERATION FREEHAND, which

means can using hands to support

the workpiece, but always use either

the fence OR the miter gauge to

position and guide the workpiece.

FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE

MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK

AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.

NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE

AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.

5. 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.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the

cutting tool for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when

crosscutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with

this saw.

9. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work

into a blade against the direction of

rotation of the blade.

10.NEVER use the rip fence as a

cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A

STALLED SAW BLADE without ﬁrst

turning the saw OFF. Turn power

switch OFF immediately to prevent

motor damage.

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 riving knife, anti-kickback pawls

assembly and guards in place,

aligned and functioning. Do not

release work before passing it

completely beyond the saw blade.

Do not rip work that is twisted,

warped or does not have a straight

edge to guide it along the fence.

Do not attempt to reverse out of a

cut with the blade running.

WARNING

8 9

14.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS

and hand positions where a sudden

slip could cause your hand to move

into the saw blade.

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.

16.MOUNT your table saw on a

bench or stand before performing

any cutting operations. Refer to

ASSEMBLY on page 20. Secure

tool properly to prevent unexpected

movement.

17.

Never cut metals or masonry

products with this tool. This table

saw is designed for use on wood

and wood-like products only.

18.ALWAYS USE IN A 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 the blade comes

to a complete stop.

20.For proper operation follow the

instructions in this Instruction

Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND

ADJUSTMENTS (Page 20). Failure

to provide sawdust fall-through and

removal hole will allow sawdust

to build up in the motor area

resulting in a ﬁre hazard and

potential motor damage.

21.USE ONLY saw blades

recommended with the warning that

the riving knife shall not be thicker

than the width of the groove cut by

the saw blade and not thinner than

the body of the saw blade.

22.USE PUSH-STICK OR PUSH

BLOCK to feed the workpiece past

the saw blade. The push-stick or

push block should always be stored

with the machine when not in use.

WARNING

10 11

SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY,

ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY AND

RIVING KNIFE

Your table saw is equipped with a

blade guard assembly, anti-kickback

assembly and riving knife that covers

the blade and reduces the possibility

of accidental blade contact. The riving

knife is a ﬂat plate that ﬁts into the cut

made by the saw blade and effectively

ﬁghts kickback by lessening the

tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.

The blade guard assembly and anti-

kickback assembly can only be used

when making through cuts that sever

the wood. When making rabbets and

other cuts that make non through cuts,

the blade guard assembly and anti-

kickback assembly must be removed

and riving knife lowered to the

non through cut position marked on the

riving knife. Two anti-kickback pawls are

located on the sides of the riving knife

that allow the wood to pass through the

blade in the cutting direction but reduce

the possibility of the material being

thrown backwards toward the operator.

Use all components of the guarding

system (blade guard assembly, riving

knife and anti-kickback assembly) for

every operation for which they can

be used including all through cutting.

If you elect not to use any of these

components for a particular application

exercise additional caution regarding

control of the workpiece, the use of

push sticks, the position of your hands

relative to the blade, the use of safety

glasses, the means to avoid kickback

and all other warnings contained in this

manual and on the saw itself. Replace

the guarding systems as soon as you

return to thru-cutting operations. Keep

the guard assembly in working order.

KICKBACKS

KICKBACKS: Kickbacks can cause

serious injury. A kickback occurs when

a part of the workpiece binds between

the saw blade and the rip fence, or

other ﬁxed object, and rises from the

table and is thrown toward the operator.

Kickbacks can be avoided by attention

to the following conditions.

How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect

Yourself from Possible Injury:

a. Be certain that the rip fence is

parallel to the saw blade.

b. Do not rip by applying the feed force

to the section of the workpiece that

will become the cut-off (free) piece.

Feed force when ripping should

always be applied between the saw

blade and the fence; use a push

stick for narrow work, 6 in. (152

mm) wide or less.

c. Keep saw blade guard assembly,

riving knife and anti-kickback

assembly in place and operating

properly. If anti-kickback assembly

is not operational, return your unit

to the nearest authorized service

center for repair. The riving knife

must be in alignment with the saw

blade and the anti-kickback pawls

assembly must stop a kickback

TABLE SAW SAFETY

10 11

once it has started. Check their

action before ripping by pushing

the wood under the anti-kickback

assembly. The teeth must prevent

the wood from being pulled toward

the front of the saw.

d. Plastic and composite (like

hardboard) materials may be cut on

your saw. However, since these are

usually quite hard and slippery, the

anti-kickback pawls may not stop a

kickback. Therefore, be especially

attentive to following proper set up

and cutting procedures for ripping.

e. Use saw blade guard assembly,

anti-kickback pawls assembly and

riving knife for every operation for

which it can be used, including all

through-sawing.

f. Push the workpiece past the saw

blade prior to release.

g. Never rip a workpiece that is

twisted or warped, or does not

have a straight edge to guide along

the fence.

h. Never saw a large workpiece that

cannot be controlled.

i. Never use the fence as a guide or

length stop when crosscutting.

j. Never saw a workpiece with loose

knots, ﬂaws, nails or other foreign

objects.

k. Never rip a workpiece shorter than

10 in. (254 mm).

l. NEVER use a dull blade – replace

or have resharpened.

m. NEVER use a rip fence and miter

gauge together.

n. Keep hands out of saw blade.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR

SPECIFICATIONS

To avoid electrical hazards, ﬁre

hazards, or damage to the tool, use

proper circuit protection. Use a

seperate electrical circuit for your

tool. Your table saw is wired at the

factory for 120 V operation. Connect

to a 120 V, 15 Amp circuit and use

a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. To avoid shock or ﬁre,

if power cord is worn, cut, or

damaged in any way, have it

replaced immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool must be grounded while

in use to protect the operator from

electrical shock.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION

OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides

a path of least resistance for electric

currents and reduces the risk of electric

shock. This tool is equipped with an

electrical 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 with the green insulation

(with or without yellow stripes) is the

equipment grounding conductor. If

repair or replacement of the electrical

cord or plug is necessary, do not

connect the equipment grounding

conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualiﬁed electrician or

service person if you do not completely

understand the grounding instructions,

or if you are not certain the tool is

properly grounded.

USE only 3-wire extension cords

that have three-pronged grounding

plugs with three-pole receptacles

that accept the tool’s plug. Repair

or replace damaged or worn cords

immediately.

Use a separate electrical circuit for

your tool. This circuit must not be less

than # 14 wire and should be protected

with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before

connecting the motor 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 nameplate. Running at a

lower voltage will damage the motor.

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION

CORD. Make sure your extension cord

is in good condition. Use an extension

cord heavy enough to carry the current

your product will draw. draw. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in

line voltage resulting in loss of power,

WARNING

Fig. VV

CUTTING OPERATIONS

There are two basic types of cuts:

ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is

cutting along the length and the grain of

the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting

either across the width or across the

grain of the workpiece. (It is not safe to

rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping

requires the use of the rip fence, and

crosscutting requires the miter gauge.

NEVER USE A RIP FENCE AND

MITER GAUGE TOGETHER.

Before using the saw each time,

check the following:

1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.

2. The blade bevel lock knob

is tightened.

3. If ripping, make sure the fence is

locked into position and is parallel

to the miter gauge groove.

4. The blade guard is in place and

working properly.

5. Safety glasses are worn.

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.

Fig. WW

WARNING

42 43

RIPPING (FIG. XX, YY)

To prevent serious injury:

● Never use a 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 clear from the path of

the blade.

● The workpiece must have a

straight edge against the fence

and must not be warped, twisted,

or bowed when ripping.

1. Remove the miter gauge and store

it in the “storage” compartment in

the base of the saw.

2. Secure the rip fence to the table.

3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in.

higher than the top of the workpiece.

4. Place the workpiece ﬂat on the table

and against the fence. Keep the

workpiece away from the blade.

5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the

blade to come to full speed.

6. 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. XX)

7. Keep your 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).

WARNING

To make an additional push stick, use

the pattern on page 56. (Fig. ZZ)

AVOID KICKBACK by pushing

forward on the section of the

workpiece that passes between the

blade and the fence. Never perform

any freehand operations.

When width or rip is narrower than

2 in., the push stick cannot be used

because the blade guard will interfere.

Use the auxiliary fence (5) and push

block (6) as shown in Fig. YY.

8. Continue pushing the workpiece (4)

with the push stick (3) or push

block (6 - Fig. YY) until it passes

through the blade guard and clears

the rear of the table. (Fig. XX)

WARNING

Fig. YY

WARNING

44 45

9. Never pull the piece back when the

blade is turning. Turn the switch Off.

When the blade completely stops,

you can then remove the workpiece.

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

anti-kickback pawls assembly (7) on

each side of the riving knife and slide

the workpiece out. (Fig. YY)

BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as ripping except

the blade bevel angle is set to an angle

other than 0°.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

To avoid injury from blade contact,

never make cuts narrower than

3/4 in. wide.

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,

and your hand cannot be safely

put between the blade and the rip

fence, use push stick or push block

to pass the workpiece completely

through and past the blade.

HELPFUL DEVICES

In order to make some cuts, it is

necessary to use devices like a push

block, featherboard or auxiliary fence,

which you can make yourself. Here are

some templates for your reference.

WARNING

FEATHERBOARD (FIG. ZZ, aa)

A featherboard is a device used to

help control the workpiece by guiding

it securely against the table or fence.

Featherboards are especially useful

when ripping small workpieces and for

completing non-through cuts.

The end is angled with a number of

short kerfs to give a friction hold on the

workpiece and locked in place on the

table with C-clamps. Test that it can

resist kickback.

Place the featherboard against the

uncut portion of the workpiece to

avoid kickback that could cause

serious personal injury.

MAKE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. ZZ)

Select a solid piece of lumber

approximately 3/4 in. thick, 4 in. wide

and 18 in. long. To make a featherboard,

cut one end of the lumber at 60 degrees,

then cut 8 in. long slots 1/4 in. apart on

the angled end as shown in Fig. ZZ.

WARNING

46 47

USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE

MITER GAUGE (FIG. ee)

Slots are provided in the miter gauge

for attaching an auxiliary facing (1)

to make it easier to cut very long or

short pieces. Select a suitable piece of

smooth wood, drill two holes through

it and attach it to the miter gauge with

screws. Make sure the facing does not

interfere with the proper operation of

the saw blade guard. When cutting long

workpieces, you can make a simple

outfeed support by clamping a piece of

plywood to a sawhorse.

WARNING

The carbon brushes included with the

unit will last approximately 50 hours

of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF

cycles. Replace both carbon brushes

when either has less than 1/4 in. length

of carbon remaining, or if the spring or

wire is damaged or burned.

Remove the blade guard, blade,

rip fence, miter gauge and stand

assembly from the table saw.

2. Lower the blade height to its

minimum setting. This will make the

brush locations easier to access.

Place cardboard or an old blanket

on the ﬂoor to protect the saw table

surface.

Place the saw upside down on the

protective material.

Tilt the blade elevation/tilting

handwheel (1) to the 45° position.

(Fig. oo)

Remove the black plastic cap (2)

from the side of the motor (3).

Fig. oo

52 53

Carefully remove the spring-loaded

cap, and then pull out the brush (4)

and replace. (Fig. pp)

Repeat step 6 and 7 for the other

side of motor.

Place the new brush into the

opening of motor, making sure the

ears on the metal end of the

assembly go in the same hole the

carbon part ﬁts into. Do not

overtighten the plastic cap.

10. Carefully set the saw in a upright

position on a clean level surface.

11. Replace the blade guard, blade,

rip fence, miter gauge and stand

assembly to the table saw.

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes,

ﬁrst make sure the brushes go back in

the same sides they came out.

This will avoid a break-in period that

reduces motor performance and

increases wear.
