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. To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in your power tool until you have read and understood the following safety rules: 1. 2.
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.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS ESTIMATED ASSEMBLY TIME 25~40 MINUTES FOLDING THE STAND (Fig. A-1) 1. Release the stand hook (1). 2. Unfold the wider leg set (2). Pull the lever (3) downward and push it to lock in place. Then, put down the wider leg set on the ground. 3. Lift the stand up and unfold the narrower leg set (4). 4. Pull the lever downward and push it to lock in place. NOTE: Make sure the stand is locked securely. 4. 5. 6. Tighten all four bolts. NOTE: Do not over tighten bolts holding saw to stand.
SAW MOUNTED TO WORK SURFACE (Fig. B) 1. If the leg set will not be used, the saw must be properly secured to a sturdy workbench using the four mounting holes at the base of the saw. 2. The surface of the table where the saw is to be mounted must have a hole large enough to facilitate sawdust fall-through and removal. 3. Square the saw on the mounting surface and mark the location of the four 3/8" mounting holes (1). 4. Drill 3/8" hole into the mounting surface. 5.
3. Place the open-end wrench jaws on the flats of the saw arbor to keep the arbor from turning. (Fig. H) and place the box-end wrench (8) on the arbor nut (5), and turn anti-clockwise. 4. Remove the arbor nut (5) and flange (6), remove blade. 5. Install the saw blade onto the arbor with the blade teeth pointing toward the front of the saw. 6. Install the flange (6) against the blade and thread the arbor nut (5) as far as possible by hand.
BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY (Fig. K, L, M) 1. Set the blade to maximum height and the tilt to zero degrees on the bevel scale with the hand wheels. Lock the blade lock knob. 2. Place the external toothed lock washer (1), a steel flat washer (2) and a spring washer (10) onto the long hex head bolt (3). Insert the bolt into the splitter bracket (4) as shown. (Fig. K) WARNING Improper splitter alignment can cause "kickback" and serious injury. Fig. M 8 Fig. K Kickback pawl 7 9 4 3 11 1 3. 4.
INSTALLING TABLE SIDE EXTENSIONS- cont'd (Fig. O) 6. Snap one short location seat (5) over the end of the rear table extension tube (3). Make sure the locating pin (6) in the location seat fits into the matching hole in the extension tube (Fig. O). NOTES: Install location seat on front table extension tube. NOTE: For illustration purposes the view in Fig. O looks "through" the saw table to the under side of the table. Fig. O 5 3 6 INSTALLING REAR TABLE EXTENSION (Fig. P) 1.
RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (Fig. Q) 1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the measurement scale (8). The scale shows the distance from the side of the fence to nearest side of the blade. 2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is a difference between the measurement and the indicator, adjust the indicator (6). 3. Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the correct measurement on the scale. Tighten the screw and remeasure with the rule. Fig.
BLADE PARALLEL TO THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE (Fig. R, S) WARNING This adjustment was made at the factory, but it should be rechecked and adjusted if necessary. WARNING To prevent personal injury: 䢇 Always disconnect plug from the power source when making any adjustments. 䢇 This adjustment must be correct or kickback could result in a serious injury and accurate cuts can not be made. 1. 2. 3. 4 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Remove the yellow switch key and unplug the saw. Move the blade guard out of the way.
OPERATION OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Fig. U) This saw has an overload relay button (3) that resets the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. If the motor stops during operation, turn the ON / OFF switch to the OFF position. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool. Push in on the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position. BASIC SAW OPERATIONS RAISE THE BLADE (Fig.
CUTTING OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge. Fig. W WARNING Before using the saw each and every time, check the following: 1 U P 1. Blade is tight on the arbor. 2.
BEVEL RIPPING This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than "0". Fig. Y 3 WARNING 2 1 Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right side of the blade. RIPPING SMALL PIECES WARNING Avoid injury from the blade contact. Never make through saw cuts narrower than 1/2" wide. Fig. Y-1 1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the size of the desired piece. 2.
MITERING (Fig. BB) This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90 1. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the miter gauge (3). 2. Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to prevent the workpiece from moving.
