2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 4.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning the Power Switch (179) “ON”.
22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. 23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SERVICE 24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.) FIGURE A DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS 4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding.
EXTENSION CORDS 1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. 2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Figure C) 3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.
SYMBOLOGY Double Insulated Canadian Standards Association Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. V~ A no xxxx/min. Volts Alternating Current Amperes No Load Revolutions per Minute (RPM) SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Saw. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 2. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements. 3. Check for damaged parts.
11. Before trying new or complicated techniques, study the procedure, and practice with scrap wood. 12. Make sure the woodstock is free from loose knots, flaws, nails, and from any other foreign objects that could damage the Saw Blade or cause “kickback”. 13. Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled woodstock to lift up and out of the Table Saw toward the operator.
15. Always use the proper size and type of Saw Blade (3): Item #529 is recommended - 10” M2 Molybdenum Tipped (40 Tooth) saw. 16. Never perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the Table of the Table Saw when the machine is running. 17. Always disconnect the Table Saw from its electrical outlet before performing any services, maintenance, or cleaning such as leaving the work area, moving the tool from one location to another, changing Saw Blades, cleaning sawdust from the unit, etcetera. 18.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagrams on pages 20 and 21 of this manual. To Attach The Bottom Plate: 1. Turn the saw Base (188) over, and position the Bottom Plate (193) in place. (See Figure D.) 2. Line up the four holes.
