GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For All Tools)
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL.
Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn
the tool's applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards
peculiar to it.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don't force tool or attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed; for example,
don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs
or logs.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Wear no 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.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING
KEYS AND
WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lighted. Don't use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
All visitors should be kept safe distance
from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF
with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
8. DON'T FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are
NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK.
Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It's safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH.

SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Don't use the tool in presence
mable liquids or gases.

10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
of flam-

3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive
cut-off wheel installed.
4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked
or damaged blade immediately.
5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially
the installing surface) and hex nut before
installing the blade. Poor installation may
cause vibration/wobbling
or slippage of
the blade.
6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for
every operation for which it can be used,
including all through sawing operations.
Always assemble and install the blade guard
following the step by step instructions outlined in this manual. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece as in
ripping or cross cutting. NEVER use the
tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the
blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any
irregular operation of the blade guard
should be corrected immediately.
7. Immediately reattach the guard and
spreader after completing an operation which
requires removal of the guard.
8. Do not cut metals such as nails and
screws.Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign matter from the
workpiece before operation.
9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc.
from the table before the switch is tumed on.

11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw
blade.
12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to
stand in line with the path of the saw
blade.
13. Make sure the blade is not contacting
the spreader or workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let
the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.
15. NEVER make any adjustments while
tool is running. Disconnect tool before
making any adjustments.
16. Use a push stick when required. Push
sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow
workpieces to keep your hands and fingers
well away from the blade.
17. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing riskof KICKBACK.KICKBACKis a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned
saw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of
the workpiece from the tool back towards the
operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS
by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip
fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the
spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard
in place and operating properly, by not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all
the way past the blade, and by not ripping a
workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.

Positioning
table saw
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should
be installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in
the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table
saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an
opening in the top of the work bench the same size as
the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position.
• Do not pull the switch lever hard without the key. This
can cause breakage of the switch.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or
fingers will come close to the blade.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and
the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it
while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.
• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the
workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a
complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.
• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is running.
• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of the
saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel cuts.
• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous kickbacks may occur.
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces,
or when the dado head is hidden from view while cutting.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with
any part of the body.

Crosscutting
CAUTION:
• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from
the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide
adequate support to the sides of the table. The support should be at the same height as the table.
• Always keep hands away from path of blade.
Miter gauge
Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
• Secure the knob on the miter gauge carefully.
• Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm workholding arrangement, especially when cutting at an angle.

3. Knob

Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)
To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter
gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with
bolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not
protrude from the face board.

Ripping
CAUTION:
• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide
adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow a
long board to move or shift on the table. This will
cause the blade to bind and increase the possibility of
kickback and personal injury. The support should be at
the same height as the table.
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that
the antikickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tool
off and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the blade
guard and along both sides of the blade to simulate cutting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each side by
pulling it toward you. The antikickback pawls should
grab the workpiece and prevent it from moving back
toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback
pawls sharp so they will operate properly. Keep them
sharp by using a round-shaped file to maintain the original shape of the pawls.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thickness
of the workpiece.
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and
lock in place by lowering the grip. Before ripping,
make sure the rear end of the rip fence is secured
firmly. If it is not secured enough, follow the procedures in "Installing and adjusting rip fence" described
on page 11 and 12.

3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into
the blade along with the rip fence.

(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6") and wider,
carefully use your right hand to feed the workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiece
in position against the rip fence.

(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2"
- 6") wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece.

1. Push stick

(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm
(2-1/2"), the push stick cannot be used because
the push stick will strike the blade guard. Use the
auxiliary fence and push block.
Attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence with
two "C" clamps.

1. Auxiliary fence

Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is about
25 mm (1") from the front edge of the table. Continue
to feed using the push block on the top of the auxiliary
fence until the cut is complete.

2. Auxiliary fence

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
Cleaning
Clean out sawdust and chips from time to time.
Carefully clean the blade guard and moving parts inside
the table saw.
Lubrication
To keep the table saw in tip-top running condition, and
to assure maximum service life, oil or grease the moving parts and rotating parts from time to time.

CAUTION:
• For a 1/8" cut width, the outside cutter is assembled to
the spindle in the same manner as the saw blade.
• The outer flange or the dado outer flange must be
used for each cut width.
• The hex nut alone must not be used to secure the
dado on to the spindle.

NOTE:
• When widths slightly greater than the above are
required, fit the paper washers in between the inside
and outside cutters to adjust the width.

5. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cutters are positioned at the gullets of the outside cutter.
When more than one inside cutter is used, space
the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation
to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause
vibration and noise.

1, Inside cutter
2, Outside cutter
3. Gullet

When installing two outside cutters without any inside
cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each
other.
6. While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain the
even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters.
7. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make sure
that it does not contact anything before operation.

When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown
illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard.
It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is
free of knots or cracks.

Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in contact with the rip fence and table as shown, and to stop
kickbacks.

Push stick

To install featherboards,

proceed as follows:

1. Turn the tool off and unplug it.
2. Add 8" high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full
length of the rip fence.
3. Mount featherboards to the rip fence and table as
shown, so that the leading edges of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is
completed, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter with a push stick.
4. Make sure featherboards are securely attached.
CAUTION:
• Only the Makita dado head set (Part No. 191543-4)
should be used with Makita table saw Model
2702/Model 2703. Do not use dado combinations
wider than 13 mm (1/2").
• After dadoing, ALWAYS replace the blade guard with
the spreader back in its original position on the table
saw.

• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.
• NEVER dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a strange
noise.
• NEVER attempt dados in other than wood.
• Do not use the dado set for cut-offs.
• Feed work slowly, especially when cutting deep or wide
grooves or dados. If a deep cut is needed, make several
passes through the workpiece rather than one deep,
wide cut. Fast or abrupt feeds can be dangerous.
• Use a push stick. When the dado head is hidden from
view while cutting, your hands should never be on top
of the stock.
• A very dangerous throwback can result if the wood
becomes stuck and you try to remove it by pulling
toward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dado
head to come to a complete stop. Then simply withdraw the wood.
WARNING:

• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for any non-through sawing operation such
as dadoing, rabbeting or resawing. Replace guard
immediately after non4hrough sawing is completed.

1. Rabbet
2. First cut
3. Second cut

How to perform rabbeting
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run the
length of the stock. Facing should be as high as the
workpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade to desired
dimensions.
3. First cut: Hold board flat on table as in ordinary ripping.
4. Second cut: Set workpiece on its edge. (Use featherboards, push stick, push block and so on, using precautions, safety rules and guidelines for ripping or
related work.)
5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece is less than
10-1/2" wide, rest the wood flat on the table against
the miter gauge (with wood facing). The rip fence
should not be used.
6. After rabbeting is completed, immediately re-install
the blade guard as before.
