not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green 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 equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.

OpERATION

4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.

6. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.

Grounding

3. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
4. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.
5. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.
6. Do not perform any operation freehand.
7. Never reach around or over saw blade.
8. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all times
while sawing. Use a roller stand (not provided)
with larger workpieces if necessary.
9. To properly understand all safety warnings,
be familiar with the following safety
terms and equipment:
a. Featherboard – A block with “fingers” that hold
the workpiece against the fence while sawing.
b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of
a board to the opposite side, without stopping.
c. Ripcut or Ripping - A cut made parallel
to (along with) the grain of the wood.
d. Crosscut or Crosscutting A cut made perpendicular (at a 90° angle)
to the grain of the wood.
e. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other
soft material with a notch cut into one end
and which is used to push short pieces
of material through saws. It provides a
safe distance between the hands and the
cutting tool. Must be narrower than the cut
width to prevent contact with the blade.
f. Freehand – Feeding a workpiece through the
saw without using a fence or guided support
to guide it. NOT A SAFE METHOD.
g. Kerf – The gap made by the
saw in the workpiece.
h. Kickback – A sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound, or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and
out of the saw toward the operator.
i. Spreader – A metal plate that follows the
saw blade to keep the kerf (gap) from
closing on the saw blade. Spreaders,
except riving knives, must be aligned to the
blade after blade adjustment to prevent binding.
j. Riving Knife – A spreader mounted on
the same mechanism as the blade.
Generally more effective than simple spreaders.
Item 63118

• Fence must be completely
parallel to the saw blade.
• Workpiece must be free from flaws
(such as loose knots) and from foreign
objects (such as nails and screws).
• Support large workpieces along their
entire length. Large workpieces tend
to bend, grabbing the blade.
11. Do not use a dull, pitch-covered, or damaged blade.
• Do not use fence as a guide when crosscutting.
• Do not ripcut a twisted or warped
workpiece, or workpiece without
straight edge to guide along fence.

SETUp

2. Use saw-blade guard and spreader
for every operation for which it can be
used, including all through sawing.

12. Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not
allow the workpiece to rest against the
moving blade without holding onto it.
• If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, turn
off the power switch and hold the workpiece
still until the blade stops. Correct the cause
of blade binding before proceeding.
• Before continuing an unfinished cut, center
the blade in the pre-cut kerf and check that
the saw teeth are not engaged into the
workpiece before turning on the saw.
• Push the wood stock past the
blade prior to release.
13. Check guards for proper operation with saw
disconnected from power before each use.
Do not disable any guard. Do not operate
saw if any movable guard does not move
freely and close instantly. Make sure any
movable guard does not touch the blade in
all angles, depths of cut, and positions.
14. Keep the guard in place while through-sawing.
Verify that the spreader lines up with
the blade to prevent binding.
15. Construct an appropriate Push Stick out of wood
according to the guidelines on the following page.
16. DO NOT OpERATE WITH ANy GUARD
DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving
guards must move freely and close instantly.
17. The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.

1. Wear eye protection.

10. As noted previously, Kickback is a sudden reaction
to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade,
causing an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and
out of the saw toward the operator.
Kickback is usually a result of tool
misuse and can be limited or avoided by
following the precautions below:

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

26. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or 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
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
27. WARNING: The cord of this product contains
lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
28. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,

Vibration Safety
OpERATION

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

MAINTENANcE

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups
to ensure medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible (while still
keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

Adjusting the Width Of cut

Graduated
Scale

Fence
Guide
(112)

Figure T
WARNING! Do not attempt to use the fence
and miter gauge at the same time.
1. The width of a cut is achieved by moving
the Fence (121) to the right or left.

4. To adjust the Fence position using the
workpiece and the Graduated Scale:
a. Place the workpiece against the
Fence on the Table Saw.
b. Raise the Fence Handle to unlock the Fence
and slide the workpiece and Fence together
to the right or left until the left side of the
Fence Guide (112) aligns with the desired
measurement on the Graduated Scale.
c. Lock the Fence in place by lowering
the Fence Handle (110).

SETUp

Fence Handle
(110)

3. To adjust the position of the Fence, raise the
Fence Handle and slide the Fence along the
Work Table. Once the position is adjusted, lower
the Fence Handle to lock the Fence in place.

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Allow room on both sides of saw
for extended workpieces.

4. Use a table, stand, or other means to support
extended workpieces. Mount the Saw so that
the surface is level to the ground, and additional
supports to provide a surface on the same
level as the saw table. If the work surface and
any workpiece supports are not level, and on
the same level, unwanted bevel angles will
appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
5. Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.

MAINTENANcE

6. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.

SAFETy

SAWS cAN QUIcKLy AMpUTATE FINGERS IF MISUSED.
Keep hands well clear of cutting area.
DO NOT OpERATE WITH ANy GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED.
Moving guards must move freely and close instantly.

INSTALL GUARD BEFORE USE.
proper placement Of Hands During the cutting process
1. Review Safety warnings at the beginning of the
manual before performing any cutting procedure.
Keep all guards in place and in working order.

2. Do not pass hands directly over the Saw Blade (42)
when cutting the workpiece. Push the workpiece
into the Saw Blade using a Push-stick, push-block or
by holding the workpiece against the Miter Gauge.

WARNING! SAFE cUTTING pROcEDURES VARy DEpENDING ON THE TypE OF cUT.
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM KIcKBAcK:

SETUp

Use Fence for every Rip cut
(cut along with the grain).
Rip cuts

BUT

Do not use Fence for any crosscut
(cut against the grain).

crosscuts/Miter cuts

1. Rip cuts are straight cuts made parallel
to (along with) the grain of the wood by
sliding the workpiece along the Fence.

Blade Guard

OpERATION

2. When ripping, always use the Fence (194).
This improves the accuracy of the cut, and
reduces the chance for Saw Blade binding.

Clamp
Workpiece

Figure U
1. Adjust the Miter Gauge to the needed angle and
place it in the right or left slot on the Table.
2. Hold the workpiece against the Miter Gauge,
and slide them together to make the cut.
Clamp smaller pieces to a piece of scrap wood
that can reach beyond the Miter Gauge and
hold the scrap against the Gauge while making
the cut. Keep the clamp clear of the Saw Blade.

Making a cut
1. After adjusting the width and/or angle of the cut,
plug the Table Saw into a grounded 120V outlet.

MAINTENANcE

2. Insert the Switch Key and turn the Switch on.
3. At the start of the cut, the left hand holds
the workpiece firmly on the Work Table
(and against the Fence, if used), and the right
hand, with the aid of a Push-stick, pushes
the workpiece toward the turning Saw Blade.
Keep both hands out of the path of the Saw Blade.
WARNING! Throughout the cut, keep all body
parts a safe distance from the spinning Blade.

Page 16

4. After the cut is under way, use the Push Stick
to continue guiding the workpiece forward.
Just before the cut is completed, move the left hand
safely farther away from the workpiece and the Saw
Blade. Continue pushing the workpiece into the Saw
Blade with the Push Stick until the cut is complete.
5. Once the cut is complete, continue to maintain
control of the workpiece. Turn the Switch off.
Then, wait until the Saw Blade completely stops
rotating before removing the workpiece.
6. To prevent accidents, turn off the Table
Saw, remove the key and disconnect its
power supply after use. Clean, then store
the Saw indoors out of children’s reach.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.

Table Saw Overload protection
2. Let the motor cool three to five minutes before
pushing the Reset button. This will reset
the overload device. The motor can then
be turned on again in the usual manner.

SAFETy

1. The Table Saw is equipped with an Overload
Protector (5). If the motor shuts off or fails
to start due to overloading (cutting stock too
fast, using a dull Saw Blade, low voltage,
using the Table Saw beyond its capacity, etc.),
turn the Switch to its OFF position.

Maintenance and Servicing
procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.

TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM AccIDENTAL OpERATION:
Always disconnect the Table Saw from its electrical outlet before performing
any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
