For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Table Saw Save it for future reference GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (For All Tools) 1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. 9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed; for example, don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs. 2.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in. 21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. 17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons. 22. When servicing use only identical replacement parts. 18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. 1. Wear eye protection. 10. NEVER wear gloves during operation. 2. Don’t use the tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases. 11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade. 3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive cut-off wheel installed. 12.
18. 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. 23. Don’t abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges. 19. NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has completely stopped. 24. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inhalation and skin contact.
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade and blade guard not in the installed condition. Assemble as follows: ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always unplug the tool before assembly. Installing saw blade Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the outer flange. 2 3 1 1.

Positioning table saw 459 mm (18-1/16”) 334 mm (13-1/8”) 1 1. Hole diameter 8 mm (5/16”) 1 25 mm (1”) 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.
Adjusting depth of cut The depth of cut may be adjusted by turning the handle. Turn the handle clockwise to raise the blade or counterclockwise to lower it. 1 NOTE: • Use a shallow depth setting when cutting thin materials in order to obtain a cleaner cut. 1. Handle Adjusting bevel angle 1 2 Loosen the lock lever counterclockwise and turn the handwheel until the desired angle (0° - 45°) is obtained. The bevel angle is indicated by the arrow pointer.
After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation. 1 1. Arrow pointer Installing and adjusting rip fence Raise the grip of the rip fence. Install the rip fence on the table so that the fence holder engages with the guide rail. The rip fence can be secured by lowering the grip. 1 2 3 1. Fence holder 2. Guide rail 3. Grip A B 1 1.
CAUTION: • Always grasp the striped portion of the wrench when tightening the hex bolts. If you tighten the hex bolts while grasping the wrench further than the striped portion, the hex bolts may be damaged and/or an injury to your hand may result. 6. With the grip of the rip fence lowered, turn the adjusting nut clockwise to secure the rear end of the rip fence. Do not turn the adjusting nut clockwise excessively.
When operating the switch lever, it is convenient to view it through the window area in the table. CAUTION: • When not using the tool, remove the key and store it in a secure place. This prevents unauthorized operation. • Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position. • Do not pull the switch lever hard without the key. This can cause breakage of the switch.
Push stick (H) 9.5 mm (3/8”) 130 mm (5”) 75 mm (3”) 19 mm (3/4”) 9.5 mm (3/8”) 40 mm (1-1/2”) 50mm (2”) 50 mm (2”) 380 mm (15”) A push stick can be easily made from a piece of plywood 19 mm (3/4”) to 25 mm (1”) thick. Cut out the hatched area on the stick and smooth edges with a file. (H) dimension should be less than 12.7 mm (1/2”) so as to be thinner than the workpiece. 120 mm (4-3/4”) Push block 300 mm (12”) Use a 19 mm (3/4”) piece of plywood.
Wood facing (rip fence) A wood facing should be used for operations when the blade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the rip fence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make sure the bottom of facing is flush with the table surface. 1 1. No. 10 wood screws (long enough to penetrate halfway into facing) Crosscutting CAUTION: • When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from the table. • When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support to the sides of the table.
Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge) To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with bolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not protrude from the face board. Ripping CAUTION: • When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table. • When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow a long board to move or shift on the table.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the blade along with the rip fence. (1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6”) and wider, carefully use your right hand to feed the workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiece in position against the rip fence. (2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2” - 6”) wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece. 1 1.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. Cleaning Clean out sawdust and chips from time to time. Carefully clean the blade guard and moving parts inside the table saw. Lubrication To keep the table saw in tip-top running condition, and to assure maximum service life, oil or grease the moving parts and rotating parts from time to time.

Dado head set (Part No. 191543-4) A dado is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the workpiece. The dado head set consists of two outside cutters, three inside cutters and paper washers.
Table insert (Part No. 317061-6) When cutting grooves 5/16”, 3/8”,7/16” or 1/2” use this table insert instead of the standard table insert. To install the dado head set, proceed as follows: 1. Turn the tool off and unplug it before installing. 2. Remove the blade guard with the spreader. 3. Install the dado head set with the teeth pointing down at the front of the table. 4. Use the chart below to select the proper cutters to obtain the various cutting widths.
NOTE: • When widths slightly greater than the above are required, fit the paper washers in between the inside and outside cutters to adjust the width. 1 2 5. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cutters are positioned at the gullets of the outside cutter. When more than one inside cutter is used, space the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause vibration and noise. 3 1. Inside cutter 2. Outside cutter 3.

Facing should be as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade to desired dimensions. 3. First cut: Hold board flat on table as in ordinary ripping. 4. Second cut: Set workpiece on its edge. (Use featherboards, push stick, push block and so on, using precautions, safety rules and guidelines for ripping or related work.
