16. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
17. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade.
18. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in
line with the path of the saw blade.
19. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
riving knife or workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
21. The tool should not be used for slotting,
rabbetting or grooving.
22. Replace table insert when worn.
23. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect tool before making any
adjustments.
24. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces
to keep your hands and fingers well away from
the blade.
25. Always store the push-stick when it is not in
use.
26. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a
sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the
ejection of the workpiece from the tool back
towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid
KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by
keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by
keeping the riving knife and blade guard in
place and operating properly, by not releasing
the workpiece until you have pushed it all the
way past the blade, and by not ripping a
workpiece that is twisted or warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
27. Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or
miter gauge.
28. NEVER reach around or over saw blade.
NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw
blade has completely stopped.
29. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do
not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If
you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece,
turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool.
Then clear the jam.
30. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade
or touch the blade guard while the blade is
running.
31. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
32. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
− lead from lead-based-painted material
and,
− arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
− Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
34. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
35. The guard can be lifted during workpiece
setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make
sure that guard hood is down and flat against
sawtable before plugging in the tool.

INSTALLATION
Positioning table saw
Fig.1
Fig.2
Fig.3
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in the
bottom of the table saw. When securing the table saw on
the work bench, make sure that there is an opening in
the top of the work bench the same size as the opening
in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop
through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.
Storing accessories
Fig.4
Fig.5
Push stick, Triangular rule, blade and wrenches can be
stored on the left side of the base and the rip fence and
miter gauge can be stored at the right side of the base.
The blade guard to be removed in dado cutting can be
stored at the rear.
