SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE TABLE SAW WiTH LASER LiNE

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TABLE SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY

ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS ]

1. ALWAYS USE THE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti-kickback pawls for every

operation for which they can be used, including through-sawing. Through-sawing

operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when

ripping or cross-cutting.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the mitre gauge or rip fence.

3. 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.

WARNING: FREE HAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICK=BACK &

FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.

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 table saw for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross cutting.

8. DO NOT USE a moulding 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 table

saw OFF and unplugging the table saw. Immediately, turn the power switch OFF to

prevent motor damage.

12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the work table for long or

wide workpieces.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the

ripfence 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.

SAVE THESE SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

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 toot is

equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet

installed by an electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric

shock. The conductor 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 if the toot is properly grounded.

USE ONLY EXTENSION CORDS that have

3-pronged plugs. Only plug into 3-pronged outlets

that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cords

immediately.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

I ARNING: THIS TABLE SAW IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO

RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure

to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below

shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If

in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)

(when using 120 V only)

Ampere Rating Total length of cord in feet

More Than Not More Than 25' 50' 100' 150'

0 6 18' 16' 16' 14'

6 10 18' 16' 14' 12'

10 12 16' 16' 14' 12'

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a

damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect

your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be tess than a #12 wire

with a 20 A time tag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time lag 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.

I ARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE

OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

CAUTION! HAVE YOU READ "GENERAL SAFETY RULES" AND "SPECIFIC SAFETY

RULES FOR THE TABLE SAW" IN THIS MANUAL? IF NOT, PLEASE DO SO NOW

BEFORE YOU OPERATE THIS SAW. YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON IT!

EVERY TiME YOU USE THE TABLE SAW YOU SHOULD VERIFY THE FOLLOWING:

1. BLADE iS TIGHT.

2. BEVEL ANGLE LOCKING HANDLE iS LOCKED.

3. IF RIPPING, RIP FENCE LOCKING KNOB MUST BE TIGHT AND FENCE MUST

BE PARALLEL TO THE MITRE GAUGE GROOVE AND BLADE.

4. IF CROSSCUTTING, MITRE GAUGE KNOB IS TIGHT.

5. BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER ARE iN PLACE AND WORKING PROPERLY.

6. SAFETY GLASSES ARE BEING WORN.

7. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THESE SAFETY RULES CAN GREATLY iNCREASE

THE CHANCES OF iNJURY.

Before using the table saw, polish the tabletop with an automotive polishing wax to keep it

clean and make it easier to slide the workpiece.

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 of a mitre gauge and

a rip fence 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.

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.

.

Fig. 33

1 2

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.

WARNING!

e DO NOT TRY TO PULL THE WORKPIECE BACK WHILE THE BLADE IS STILL

TURNING. TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND CAREFULLY SLIDE THE

WORKPIECE OUT WHEN THE BLADE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED.

e NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND.

e AVOID KICKBACK BY KEEPING BLADES SHARP, THE RIP FENCE PARALLEL

TO THE SAW BLADE, AND BY KEEPING THE SPLITTER,

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND GUARDS IN PLACE, ALIGNED AND

FUNCTIONING.

BEVEL RIPPING

This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other

than 0°.

CAUTION! CUT ONLY WITH THE WORKPIECE AND THE RIP FENCE ON THE

RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BLADE.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

CAUTION! AVOID INJURY RESULTING FROM BLADE CONTACT. NEVER MAKE

THROUGH-SAW CUTS NARROWER THAN W' WIDE.

1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to the blade. To

ensure your safety, rip the small piece from a larger piece.

2. When a small width is to be ripped and the hand cannot be safely put between the

blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks. Use the push sticks to hold the

workpiece against the table top and fence and push the workpiece fully past the blade

(Fig. 33).

NOTE: A pattern for making your own push sticks is shown on page 35 of this manual.

CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 34)

CAUTION! To prevent serious injury:

e Do not allow familiarity gained from 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.

.

6.

Remove the rip fence and place the mitre Fig. 34

gauge in the left side groove.

Adjust the blade (1) so it is about 1/8" 3 2

higher than the workpiece (Fig. 34). 1

Hold the workpiece firmly against the

mitre gauge with the path of the blade in

line with the desired cut location. Keep

the workpiece about 1" away from the front

of the blade. Start the table saw motor and

allow the blade to reach to full speed.

Keep the workpiece (2) flat against the face of the mitre gauge (3) and flat against the

table.

Slowly push the workpiece through the saw blade's cutting arc.

Do not try to pull the workpiece back while the blade is still turning. Turn the switch OFF

and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade has completely stopped.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 35)

Always work to the right side of the btade

during this type of cut. The mitre gauge (1)

must be in the right-side groove (2) because

the bevel angte would cause the blade guard

to interfere with the cut if used on the left side

groove.

1. Adjust the blade (3) to the desired angte.

Tighten the btade bevel lock knob.

2. Tighten mitre lock handle at 90 °.

3. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of

the mitre gauge (1) throughout the cutting

operation.

Fig. 35

3 1

2

MITRE CUTS (Fig. 36)

This cutting operation is the same as

crosscutting except the mitre gauge is

locked at an angle other than 90 °.

1. Set the mitre gauge (3) to the desired angle

(Fig. 36).

2. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the

mitre gauge (3).

3. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade

(1) to prevent the workpiece from shifting.

Fig. 36

3 2

/

COMPOUND MITRE CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 37)

This sawing operation is combining a mitre

angle with a bevel angle. Always work to the

right side of the blade during this type of cut.

The mitre gauge (3) must be in the right side

groove because the bevel angle would cause

the blade guard to interefere with the cut if

used on the left side groove.

1. Set the mitre gauge (3) to the desired

angle.

2. Place the mitre gauge (3) in the right-side

groove (2) of the table.

3. Set the blade (1) to the desired bevel angle

and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

4. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of

the mitre gauge (3) throughout the cutting

operation.

DADO CUTTING (Fig. 38)

1. Unplug the power cord before removing

and/or installing dado blades.

2. When making dado cuts, a dado insert plate

must be installed in place of the regular table

insert.

3. The arbor (1) of this saw restricts the

maximum width of dado cut to W'

(Fig. 38). The flange (2) must be installed

prior to reinstalling and tightening arbor

nut (3).

4. NOTE: Make sure the arbor nut is tight and

Fig. 38i

.

at least one thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut.

Use only a stackabte dado set and keep the width to W' or tess. It will be necessary to

remove the blade guard and splitter when using the dado.

CAUTION! Use caution when the dado blade is running. You have no guard to protect

you. Also, adjustable or wobble dado blades can NOT be used on this machine.

6. Use the correct number of round outside blades and chippers as shown in the dado

blade's instruction manual. Blade and chipper total width must not exceed W'.

7. Before starting the table saw, check to make sure the installed dado assembly will not

strike the motor, table or table saw base when in operation.

CAUTION! To avoid injury, always replace the blade, blade guard assembly and table

insert when you are finished with the dado operation.

USING A WOOD FACING ON THE RIP

FENCE (Fig. 39)

When performing some special cutting

operations, add a wood facing (1) to either side

of the rip fence (2).

1. Use a smooth 3_,,thick board (1) that is as

long as the rip fence.

2. Attach the wood facing to the rip fence

using wood screws (3). A wood facing

should be used when ripping material such

as thin panelling to prevent the material

from catching between the bottom of the

fence and the table.

Fig. 39

BLADE SELECTION

There are many different types of blades with differing tooth configurations, tooth counts

and materials. Some of the more common types are shown below.

CAUTION! ABRASIVE AND METAL CUTTING BLADES MUST NOT BE USED

WITH THIS SAW. This saw was not made to cut metals or masonry materials. Doing

so may result in injury. It will also void the warranty.

ALL BLADES MUST:

1. BE RATED AT 5300 RPM OR HIGHER

2. HAVE A 5/8" ARBOR HOLE

3. BE NO LARGER THAN 10" IN DIAMETER

Smaller diameter blades may be used. However, they will result in a reduced cutting depth.

Combination blades

Carbide is brittle and must not be used on any material that may contain nails, screws, etc.

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.
