Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your table saw
works.
WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE TABLE SAW UNTIL THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL HAS
HAVE BEEN READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool's
applications, limitations and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO NOT use power tools in wet or damp areas or
expose them to rain. Keep work areas well-tit.
3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gas.

USE A PUSH STICK when required, especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to
ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A
pattern for making your own push stick is included.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION
"FREE HAND"= this means using only your
hands to support or guide the workpiece.
Always use either the rip fence or the
mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece.

INSTRUCTIONS

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, anti-kickback pawls and
guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release workpiece before it has passed
beyond the saw blade's cutting arc. Do not rip pieces that are twisted, warped or that do
not have a straight edge to guide it along the rip fence.
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 plastic parts. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic
parts.
16.MOUNT your table saw on a work bench or stand before performing any cutting
operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY instructions.
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.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not leave the work area until the saw
comes to a complete stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this Instruction Manual (Page 23).
Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will cause sawdust to build up
in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage.

There are two basic types of table saw cuts: ripping and crosscutting,
in general, ripping
is cutting with the grain along the length of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. However, with man-made materials
this distinction can be difficult to make. Therefore, cutting a piece of material to a different
width is ripping and cutting across the short dimension is crosscutting. Neither ripping nor
crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence and
crosscutting requires the use of the mitre gauge. Never use the rip fence and the mitre
gauge at the same time during the cutting operation.
WARNING:

Never use more than one rip fence or a combiration
at the same time during a cutting operation.

RiPPiNG
CAUTION! To prevent serious injury:
e Do not allow frequent use of your table saw to cause complacency
and 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.
• The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped,
1. Remove the mitre gauge and secure the rip fence to the table.
2. Adjust the blade so it is about 1/8 in. higher than the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece flat on the tabletop and against the rip fence. Keep the workpiece
about 1" away from the front of the blade.
4. Turn the saw ON and allow the blade to
come to full 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. 32).
6. Keep your thumbs off the tabletop. Always
hold the workpiece when the blade is
truning. Do not let go of it to reach for the
push stick. When both of your thumbs
touch the front edge of the table (2), finish
the cut with a push stick (3). Make a push
stick using the pattern on page 35 of this
manual.

Fig. 33

7. The push stick should always be used
during ripping operations.
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the
push stick until it passes the blade guard

and clears the rear of the table.
Never pull the workpiece back while the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF and
unplug the power cord. When the blade completely stops, raise the anti-kickback
fingers
on each side of the splitter if necessary and slide the workpiece out.

CAUTION: For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the switch key.
Remove the plug from the power source before maintaining or lubricating your saw.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
e Frequently clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the saw base and around
the motor with a vacuum.
e Polish the saw table with an automotive polishing wax to keep it clean and to make it
easier to slide the workpiece.
e Clean the cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
e Immediately replace a worn, cut or damaged power cord.
CAUTION: All electrical and mechanical repairs should be performed by a trained
repair technician. Call the Toll Free Helptine at 1-886-881-7202
for the technician
nearest you. Use only identical replacement parts. Any substitute parts may create a
hazard.
Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all plastic parts. NOTE: Use of certain
cleaning chemicals may damage plastic parts.
Do not use the following cleaning chemicals or solvents on your table saw: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
After every five hours of operation, the blade
raising and tilting mechanisms should be
checked for looseness, binding or other
abnormalities.
With the table saw disconnected
from the power source and removed from
the stand, turn the saw upside down and
alternately pull upward and downward on the
motor unit. Observe any movements in the
motor mounting mechanism. Looseness or
play in the blade screw rod (1) should be
adjusted as follows (Fig. 40).

Fig. 40

1. Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen jam nut (2).
2. Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the bracket (4), then loosen the nut (3) 1/6 of
a tu rn.
3. Tighten jam nut (2) with a wrench while holding nut (3) in place. Maximum allowable
play in screw rod (1) is 4 mm.
Place a small amount of dry lubricant such as graphite or silicone on the screw rod (1)
at the thrust washer (5). Do not oil threads of screw rod. The screw rod must be kept
clean and free of sawdust, gum, pitch and other contaminants
for smooth operation. Wet
lubricants such as oil will attract sawdust, etc.
If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of the blade raising or tilting
mechanisms,
call the Toll Free Helptine at 1-886-881-7202
for proper adjustment
procedures.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional
lubrication. On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod is
present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as
will oil or grease.

WARNING: To avoid injury from an accidental start-up, always turn switch OFF and
unplug the table saw before moving the table saw or blade, replacing the blade or
making adjustments to the table saw or blade.
