Electrical Safety 4. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. 5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Tool Use and Care 16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THE TABLE SAW 1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Table Saw. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 2. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the Table Saw. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools. 3. Maintain a safe working environment.
21. Many saw accidents are caused by dull, badly set, and improperly filed cutting blades; gum or resin adhering to the cutting blade; and by saw blade misalignment with the fence. Such conditions can cause the stock to stick, jam, stall the saw blade, or kick back at the operator. Never cut anything other than wood with the included Saw Blade; cutting hard materials can cause the carbide blade to shatter and break apart.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contain 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 and cement or 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.
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.) 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.
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “WA” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. 7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. 8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
UNPACKING When unpacking, check to make sure that all the parts are included. Refer to the Assembly section, and the Assembly Drawing and Parts List at the end of this manual.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Stand Assembly Note: Hand tighten the nuts and bolts during assembly. 1.
Assembling the Saw to the Stand Caution: The Table Saw body is very heavy and needs two people to lift. Use care when lifting. Failure to comply may cause serious injury and damage to equipment. 1. With the help of another person, carefully lift the saw body out of the shipping box and set on the ground. 2. Remove the protect wrapping from the saw top and wipe the saw top clean with a soft cloth. 3.
Extension Wing Assembly 1. Bolt the right Extension Wing (76) to the Table (22) with three 5/16” x 1” Hex Cap Bolts (75), 5/16 x 23mm Flat Washers (45), and 5/16” Lock Washers (39). Refer to Figures E and F, below. Hand tighten enough to hold the wing in place and allow for adjustment. 2. Place a “carpenter’s level” (not included) on the Table so that it hangs over the edge of the wing approximately one inch. 3.
Guide Rail Assembly 1. Attach the Front Rail brackets (72 and 69) to the Table (22) with only three 1/4” x 3/4” Hex Screws (29), 1/4” Lock Washers (14), and 1/4” Flat Washers (2). See Figures F and G. Hex Screws (29) should be placed horizontally in approximately the center of the slot. 2. Attach the Rear Rail brackets (20 and 21) to the Table (22) with only three 1/4” x 3/4” Hex Screws (29), 1/4” Lock Washers (14), and 1/4” Flat Washers (2). 3.
8. Before attaching the short Front Rail (72) to the left Extension Wing (76), place the Switch Plate (79) behind the lip of the left Extension Wing and line up the holes in the Switch Plate and the Extension Wing. 9. Attach the Short Front Rail (72) to the left Extension Wing (76) with one 1/4” x 3/4” Hex Screw (29), two 1/4” Flat Washers (2), one 1/4” Lock Washer (14), and one 1/4” Hex Nut (12). Hand tighten only at this time. 10.
Assembling the Blade Guard and Splitter 1. Insert the blade guard support Shaft (33) and Lock Washer (34) into the curved slot at the rear of the saw Cabinet (57). Screw in the Shaft clockwise using an open-end wrench until securely tightened. The Shaft has a flat area for the wrench to fit. Refer to Figure H, below. 2. Thread a 7/16” Hex Nut (32) onto the Shaft (33), a little further than halfway. 3.
5. While holding the Fence Body (50) in place, move the Fence so that it is exactly parallel to the miter fixture slot the entire length of the Fence. 6. Tighten the four Hex Cap Bolts (38). Check the final alignment. If out of parallel, loosen the bolts and realign. 7. If the Pointer on the Fence Body is not at zero while the Fence is flush to the Saw Blade, loosen the Screw holding the Pointer and move it to zero. Retighten the Screw. 8.
Miter Gauge Adjustment Always check to see that the Miter Gauge is accurate at 90 degrees before cutting. 1. To check the alignment, place the Miter Gauge in the Table slot so that the Miter Gauge body is flush with the Table edge. If it is not flush with the edge, continue with step 2. See Figure K., below. 2. Loosen the Lock Knob (1). 3. Move the Miter Gauge body until flush with the Table edge. Retighten Lock Knob (1). 4.
10. Use the Arbor Wrench (174) to turn the Arbor Nut (101) counterclockwise to securely tighten. 11. Replace the Table Insert (8) and two Screws (7). Table Front Figure L. Saw Blade Replacement Adjusting 45 and 90 Degree Positive Stops WARNING! Avoid serious injury. When making adjustments around the Saw Blade, always unplug the Table Saw Line Cord from the electrical outlet and remove the safety key from the Switch! Wear gloves when working around the Saw Blade. The teeth are very sharp. 1.

2. Raise the Blade Guard (10) to expose the Saw Blade. Place the stock to be cut next to the Saw Blade and adjust the Saw Blade height to 1/8” to 1/4” above the thickness of the stock. 3. Lower the Blade Guard (10), making sure that the Anti-kickback Pawls are facing backward and sitting on the Table. 4. Place the Key Lock into the Switch (74) and press up to turn on the Table Saw.
