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, 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 • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNING Before using your table saw, it is critical that you read and understand these safety rules. Failure to follow these rules could result in serious injury or damage to the table saw. Good safety practices are a combination of common sense, staying alert and understanding how to use your power tool.

TABLE SAW SAFETY 1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and antikickback 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 crosscutting. 2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence. 3. USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push stick especially when ripping narrow stock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the table saw, use proper circuit protection. Always use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This power tool is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect it to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace the cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS HITACHI PROFESSIONAL TABLE SAW TERMS CROSSCUT - A cut made across the width of the workpiece. MITER GAUGE - A guide used for crosscutting operations that slides in the tabletop channels located on either side of the blade. It helps make accurate straight or angle cuts. FREEHAND - Performing a cut without using a fence (guide), hold down or other proper device to prevent the workpiece from twisting during the cutting operation.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS ESTIMATED ASSEMBLY TIME 50~70 MINUTES (2 PEOPLE) ASSEMBLE STAND (Fig. A) 1. Unpack all parts and group by type and size (Fig. A). Refer to parts list for quantities. 2. Attach one support (4) to leg (1) using one square neck bolt (2) and nut (3). NOTE: Do not tighten bolts until stand is properly aligned (see step # 7). 3. Attach other end of support to another leg using one square neck bolt and nut. 4. Join front frame assemblies using support (5) square neck bolts and nuts. 5.
ASSEMBLY THE TABLE EXTENSION (Fig. C) 1. Place the left table extension next to the saw table, aligning the mounting holes (1). 2. Place bolts (2) and thread in mounting holes. 3. Place a straight edge or combination square on the saw table, across the table extension. 4. Adjust the mounting bolts (2) until the extension is flush with the saw table. Tighten. 5. Repeat these procedures for the right extension table. Fig. C Assembly the rear table rail (Fig. E) 6.
Installing the blade guard assembly (Fig. G) 1. Remove the table insert. 2. Unlock the blade bevel lock knob (1). 3 With the blade evevation handwheel (2), raise the blade to the maximum height. 4. Using the blade tilting handwheel, tilt the blade to 45 on the bevel scale. 5. Lock the blade tilt locking knob. 6. Locate the splitter assembly mounting bracket (4) in back of the blade. 7. Cover the blade teeth with a folded cardboard or position the plastic blade guard over the blade to protect your hands. 8.
REMOVING THE BLADE (Fig. I) WARNING To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is disconnected from the power source outlet. 1. Remove the table insert and raise the blade to the maximum height by turning the blade elevation handwheel clockwise. 2. Lift the blade guard and position it toward the rear of the table. 3.
6. 7. The, re-loosen the bevel lock handle and reset the blade at the maximum bevel position (45°), then tighten the bevel lock handle. Check again to see if the blade is 45° to the table. If not, repeat step 5. BLADE PARALLEL TO THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE (Fig. M) To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is disconnected from the power source outlet. This adjustment was made at the factory, but it should be rechecked and adjusted if necessary.
INSTALLING THE TABLE INSERT (Fig. N) The table insert has been previously installed on your unit. However, you must verify that the table insert is flush with the table top surface on all four corners of the insert. Power Cord (Fig. P) For convenience and to prevent damage to the power cord when the table saw is not in use or is being transported, the frame of leg has two brackets (1) on the side for cord atorage. If the table insert is not flush with the table, adjust the four bolts (1) with a 4mm hex.
RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT (Fig. R) 1. For adjustments, position the fence to the right of the blade, parallel with the miter gauge groove. 2. Place the rear clamp (1) of the fence on the back rail of the table, and lower the front end over the front rail (2). Push the handle (3) down to lock. 3. To change the position of the fence, lift up on the handle to unlock, and slide the fence to the desired position, then push the handle down to lock. Fig. R RIP FENCE INDICATOR (Fig.
OPERATION BASIC SAW OPERATIONS Fig. V RAISE THE BLADE (Fig. U) To raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation handwheel (1) to the desired blade height, and then tighten the bevel lock handle (2) to maintain the desired blade angle. 1 Fig. U 1 2 2 3 3 TILTING THE BLADE 1. To tilt the saw blade for bevel cutting, loosen the lock knob (2) and turn the tilting handwheel (3). 2. Tighten the lock knobs (2) to secure. ON / OFF SWITCH (Fig. V) The ON / OFF switch has a removal key.
RIPPING (Fig. W, X) WARNING 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. To make an additional push stick, use the pattern on page 26. 8. The push stick (3) should always be used. (Fig. X) 9. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick (3) until it passes through the blade guard and clears the rear of the table. 10. Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF.
CROSSCUTTING (Fig. Y) To prevent serious injury: 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 the path of the blade. 1. Remove the rip fence and place it in the "storage" compartment of the table saw base. 2. Place the miter gauge either groove in the table top. 3. Adjust the blade height so it is 1/8" higher than the top of the workpiece.
USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (Fig. DD) When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to the side of the rip fence between the fence and the blade where you will be cutting (2). Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps. (Fig. FF) Fig. FF 1 . Use a smooth & straight 3/4" thick wood board (1) measure as long as the rip fence is. 2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw (3) through the hole in the fence.
