WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualied service

technician. Some dust created by using power tools 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 and other masonry products, 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

• Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Care should be taken while mounting, using and storing carbide tipped blades to prevent accidental damage.

• Slight shocks, such as striking the tip, can seriously damage the blade. Foreign objects on the work piece, such as wire or nails, can also cause tips to crack or break off.

• Before using, always visually examine the blade and tips for cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or other damage.

• Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily injury or loss of eyesight. Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may

result in electric shock, and/or serious personal injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WARNING: The use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from the face and body.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury, do not modify this power tool or use accessories not

recommended to your tool.

WARNING: Read warnings and conditions about your carbide tipped saw blade.

WARNING: Do not operate the saw without the proper blade guard in place

for all through cut operations. Make sure the blade guard is reinstalled immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard. CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual — even if you are familiar with use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.5

• READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND KNOW YOUR TOOL. Read and familiarize yourself with entire instruction manual. Learning the tool’s proper applications. Limitations, and specific potential hazards will greatly minimize the possiblity of accidents and injury. Make sure all users are familiar with its warnings and instructions before using tool.

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order. Blade guard must be in place for all through cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard. Never operate the saw without the blade guard in place for any cut which does not require it to be removed. Make sure the blade guard is operating properly before each use. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.

• MAKE SURE THE SAW BLADE IS NOT CONTACTING THE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE OR THE WORKPIECE BEFORE THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.

• DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Locate the tool in a level area. It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.

• KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while operating.

• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter keys.

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.

• FEED WORKPIECE AT AN EVEN PACE. DO NOT BEND OR TWIST THE WORKPIECE. IF JAMMING OCCURS, TURN THE TOOL OFF IMMEDIATELY, UNPLUG THE TOOL THEN CLEAR THE JAM. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not intended.

• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• ALWAYS wear safety goggles that comply with United States ANSI Z87.1 and a face shield or dust mask if operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses have only impactresistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

• SECURE WORK. Use a clamps or vice to hold workpiece when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS. All tools should be disconnected when not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc. Turn the machine “OFF” before disconnecting tools to avoid an accidental start when plugging the tools in again.The accidental start may cause serious injury. Do not touch the terminal or plug’s metal part when inserting or removing the plug from an outlet.

• DO NOT PLUG IN OR PULL OUT FROM POWER SUPPLY WITH WET HANDS TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

English6 The use of improper accessories may risk injury.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. Do not use it as a stepping stool.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

• USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed workpiece into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of blade or cutter only. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn the power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.

• PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

• PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.

• DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL OUTSIDE, USE AN OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORD MARKED “W-A” OR “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

• ALWAYS KEEP THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER (RIVING KNIFE) IN PLACE and in working order for all through cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard.

• ADJUST THE RIVING KNIFE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.

• FOR THE RIVING KNIFE AND ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS TO WORK, THEY MUST BE ENGAGED IN THE WORKPIECE. The riving knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls.

• USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE FOR THE RIVING KNIFE. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.

• KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, AND WITH SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work or around or over the blade while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. The material may become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.

• BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.

• NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

• INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.

• INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.

• GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle.

• CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel, if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

• USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. English7 English

• DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

• KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.

• STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

• DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.

• USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-center, causing loss of control.

• BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.

• BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

• NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use.

• WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.

• DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is tight and not making contact with saw or workpiece before connecting to power supply.

• DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (gained from frequent use of your saw) TO CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.Use extra caution and keep your attention on your operation when making repetitive cuts. Reduce the monotony of operations by frequently taking breaks, cleaning up saw dust, or checking the tool condition.

• FIRMLY BOLT THE SAW TO A WORK BENCH OR LEG STAND at approximately hip height.

• NEVER OPERATE THE SAW ON THE FLOOR.

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order. Blade guard must be in place for all through cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard.

• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.

• USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

• USE AN AUXILIARY FENCE IN CONTACT WITH THE TABLE TOP WHEN RIPPING WORKPIECES LESS THAN 5/64" (2 MM) THICK. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

• SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support large panels.

• REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES before transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in an accident causing possible serious personal injury.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES8

English CAUTION: Follow safety instructions that appear on the front of your saw.

• NEVER PLACE ARMS OR HANDS IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE CUTTING BLADE.

• ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE, AND ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS on all through cut operations. Through cut operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls down, and the riving knife in place. Make sure the blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls are reinstalled immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require their removal.

• ALWAYS lock the rip fence and secure bevel adjustment firmly before cutting.

• ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against the rip fence or miter gauge.

• ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK. A push stick is a device used to push a workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must always be narrower than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, so your hand does not come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts.

• NEVER perform any operation “freehand” which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or miter fence to position and guide the work.

• PROVIDE AUXILIARY WORKPIECE SUPPORT TO THE REAR AND/OR SIDES OF THE SAW TABLE FOR LONG AND/OR WIDE WORKPIECES TO KEEP THEM LEVEL. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.

• NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.

• NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.

• MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross cutting.

• DO NOT USE THE MITER GAUGE AND RIP FENCE during the same operation.

• NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE TO FEED THE WORKPIECE WHEN RIPPING AND DO NOT USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP WHEN CROSS CUTTING WITH THE MITER GAUGE. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.

• NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power source.

• PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long work pieces. A wide or long workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.

• AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by: a) Keeping blade sharp. b) Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade. c) Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard in place and operating. d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade using a push stick. e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

• NEVER CUT METALS, CEMENT BOARD, OR MASONRY. These materials need to be cut by other special tools.Cutting them with this tool can result in damage to the saw and personal injury.

• IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk.

• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting tool.

• MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using the table saw.

• ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply.

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, double-insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded. DOUBLE INSULATION

WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a

break in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminal or the plug when installing or removing the

plug from an outlet.

WARNING: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating

this tool. CAUTION: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing. Do not use power tools in wet of damp locations or expose them to rain or snow. Fig. 1 This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into and outlet, double check the power supply.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

Use a proper extension cord. Make sure extension cords are in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn current needed by the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.10 English Be sure extension cords are properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit must not be less than #14 wire with a 15 Amp timedelayed fuse, and should be protected with a timedelayed fuse. Before connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor’s nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

MINIMUM GAGE FOR CORD SETS

Total Length of Cord in Feet (Meter)

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit

WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Positon the cord so that it will not get

caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use tool

with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

The dust extraction port (A) with 2 1/2" (6.35 cm) size is located on the back of the table saw. This port can be connected directly to a dust collection system by connecting the pick up end of the dust collection hose to the dust port. CONNECT TO A DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM (Fig. 15)

WARNING: ALWAYS connect to a dust collection system and

the table saw must be regularly checked for dust built up and cleaned frequently, otherwise there is a risk of heat built up and potential fire. Fig. 15OPERATION

• The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the blade is set with a height adjusting handle on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.

• The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts and used for extension table for large workpiece cuts.

• It’s very important to use the blade guard assembly for all through-cut sawing operations. The blade guard assembly includes: riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard. OPERATING COMPONENTS Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following:

• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth.

• Sawing into knots or nails in the work piece.

• Twisting the wood while making a cut.

• Failing to support the workpiece.

• Cutting warped or wet lumber.

• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.

• Not following correct operating procedures.

WARNING: In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch OFF. This

action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when power returns.

WARNING: ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the

switch to start the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make sure the switch is in the OFF

position before plugging saw into the power source.

WARNING: DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning

could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed except

for dado and other non-through cuts. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade guard. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,

which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or standard safety glasses with side shields complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool operation.

DANGER: Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation.

Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.

EnglishNOTE: Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:

• Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.

• Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.

• Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.

• Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.

• Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbets, dado cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.

• Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

• Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.

• Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a miter gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.

• Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.

• When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.

• Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging machine

in. NOTE: A conventional padlock will not fit. To turn saw on and off:

• Flip the switch cover (A) upward.

• Press the switch I (B) to turn on the saw.

• Press the switch paddle (C) to turn off the saw. To lock saw:

• Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the right to increase angle of blade (C) (bringing it closer to 45° from the tabletop). Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the left to decreases the angle (bringing blade closer to 90° from the tabletop).

• Make sure blade (C) is at desired angle. Tighten bevel locking lever (A) clockwise. CHANGING BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL) (FIG. 19) CAUTION: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel. CAUTION: If bevel indicator is not at zero when saw blade is at 0°, see the section “ADJUSTING BEVEL INDICATOR”.

WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is in place after adjusting

blade angle. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.

The saw is equipped with an overload switch (A) to prevent the saw from overload damage. The saw will stop if the machine was overloaded with cutting or low voltage. Turn the switch to the OFF position and allow the motor to cool down for at least five minutes. Press the overload switch button to reactivate the overload switch. After the motor has cooled down, turn the switch to the ON position. The saw should now start. OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. 17) Fig. 17

any operation. CAUTION: When ripping, always lock the fence rails locking lever. ADJUSTMENT KNOB (Fig. 20c) The adjustment knob allows smaller adjustments when setting the rip fence.

• Unlock the fence rails locking lever (A).

• Slide the rip fence (D) close to the desired position.

• Slowly turn the adjustment knob (E) to set the rip fence to desired position. Turn the adustment knob clockwise will extend the fence rails (F) to right. Turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise will extend the fence rails (F) to left.

• Lock the fence rails locking lever (A).

WARNING: Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with

the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.

WARNING: Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip

into the saw blade. The miter gauge (A) provides accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cut are recommended. There are two miter gauge grooves, one on either side of blade. When making a 90° cross cut, use either miter gauge groove. When making a beveled cross cut (blade tilted in relation to working table, miter gauge should be located in groove on right so that blade is tilted away from miter gauge and hands.

• With miter gauge in miter gauge groove, rotate gauge until desired angle on scale is reached.

• Loosen the locking knobs (B) under the working table counter- clockwise.

• Stand behind saw. Grasp outfeed support (A) with both hands and pull until it is fully extended.

• Tighten the locking knobs (B) clockwise. MITER GAUGE (FIG. 21) The outfeed support (A) slides to give operator additional support for cutting long workpieces. OUTFEED SUPPORT (FIG. 22) Cutting aids such as push stick, push blocks, featherboards and jigs should be used where appropriate to maximize your ability to control your workpiece for a safe and precise cut. When making non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, push block, featherboard and/or jig set-up so hands do not come within 6 inches of blade. A push stick is included with your saw. Additional push sticks and other cutting aids can be purchased separately at any authorized dealer. Instructions for making cutting aids can be found at on page 33-35. CUTTING AIDS Push stick can be purchased or made to securely hold down the workpiece against the table when making non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end. PUSH STICKS

2• In order to operate your table saw safely, you must use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would otherwise cause your hands to be within 6 in. (152 mm) of the saw blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.

• No special wood is needed to make additional push-sticks as long as it’s sturdy and long enough. A length of 15.7 in. (400 mm) is recommended with a notch that fits against the edge of the workpiece to prevent slipping. It’s a good idea to have several push sticks of the same length 15.7 in. (400 mm) with different size notches for different workpiece thicknesses.

• The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as it performs its intended function of keeping your hands away from the blade. Fig. 23b Fig. 23a Included standard push stick A featherboard is a device used to help control the workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or rip fence. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end is angled with a series of narrow slots to give a friction hold on the workpiece. It is locked in place on the table with a C-clamp. FEATHERBOARDS Push blocks are blocks used to securely hold down the workpiece against the table. They include some gripping surface or handle to hold the block. Any screws running through the underside of the block to fasten the handle should be recessed in order to avoid contact with the workpiece. PUSH BLOCKS HOW TO MAKE AN ADDITIONAL PUSH STICK (FIG. 23a-23b)

WARNING: When using featherboard, it must be mounted in front of the blade and used only against the uncut

portion of the workpiece to avoid a kickback that could result in serious injury. Additional Push Stick Construction 20°-30° 90° 15.7 in. (400 mm)Notch toprevent handfrom slippingCut here to push1/2 in. (12.5 mm) woodCut here to push3/4 in. (19 mm) woodDrill hole forhanging

• Use miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel and compound miter cuts. To secure angle, lock miter guage in place by twisting lock knob clockwise. ALWAYS tighten lock knob securely in place before use. MAKING CUTS CAUTION: All other cuts are combinations of these basic six. Operating procedures for making each kind of cut are given later in this section. There are six basic cuts: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut, 3) the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel rip cut, and 6) the compound (bevel) miter cut. TYPES OF CUTS (FIG. 27)

• Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.

• Set miter gauge to 0° and tighten lock knob.

• Make sure wood is clear of blade before turning on saw.

• To turn saw on, press switch button.

• Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece into blade.

• Hand closest to blade should be placed on miter gauge lock knob and hand farthest from blade should be placed on workpiece. Feed workpiece into blade.

• Hand closest to blade should be placed on miter gauge lock knob and hand farthest from blade should be placed on workpiece. Feed workpiece into blade.

• When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.

MAKING A COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT

• Slide the outfeed support to fully extend, and place a support the same height as top of working table behind saw for cut and add supports to sides as needed.

• Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence or miter gauge. If panel is too large to use either rip fence or miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.

• Make sure wood does not touch blade before saw is turned on.

• Position workpiece flat on table with edge flush against rip fence. Let blade build up to full speed before feeding workpiece into blade.

• Use push stick to move piece through cut and past blade.

• When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.

MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT

The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves and rabbets and dados. Non-through cuts can be made using a standard blade having a diameter of 10 inches, or a dado blade up to 13/16 inches wide with a diameter of 8 inches. Non-through cuts are the only type of cuts that should be made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

DADOS AND OTER NON-THROUGH CUTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury when making non-through cuts, follow all applicable warnings

and instructions listed below in addition to those listed above for the relevant through cut.

WARNING: When making a non-through cut, blade is covered by workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to

exposed blade at start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of personal injury.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

• Make sure wood is clear of blade before turning on saw.

• When ripping a long workpiece, slide the outfeed support to fully extend.

• Position workpiece at on table with edge push against rip fence.

• Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece into blade.

• Once blade has made contact with workpiece, use hand closest to rip fence for guidance. Make sure edge of workpiece remains in solid contact with both rip fence and surface of table. If ripping a narrow piece, use push stick to move piece through cut and past blade.

• When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.B

• Loosen and remove the thumbscrew (A), then open the small baffle (B).

• Clean out the excess dust, and push the small baffle in place, tighten the thumbscrew.

WARNING: Never feed wood with hands when making any non-through cuts such as rabbets. To avoid personal

injury, always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards.

WARNING: Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through

cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.

WARNING: Once all dado and non-through cuts are completed, unplug saw and reinstall riving knife in

uppermost position. Install anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.

WARNING: Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards when making dado cuts to avoid the

risk of serious injury. Dado blades are stacked blades that can be used when making through cut slots in a workpiece, or the non-through cuts described above. Dado blades require a special table insert. Dado blades and table inserts are all sold separately.

This table saw is equipped with a dustshroud and dust collection port. For best results, connect a vacuum to the port at the rear of the saw. After extended use, the saw’s dust collection system may become clogged. To clear the dust collection system: DUST COLLECTION (Fig. 28)

• Unlock release lever.

• Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

• Place the riving knife in the middle position.

• Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.

• Depending on shape and size of wood, use either rip fence or miter gauge.

• Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.

• Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece into blade.

• Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboard when making non-through cuts to reduce the risk of serious injury.

• When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.WARNING: Before performing any adjustment, make sure tool is unplugged from power supply and switch is in off position. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is reinstalled immediately after making any adjustment which

requires it to be removed. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury. CAUTION: Unplug saw. With bevel adjustment assembly in vertical (0 degree) position, raise blade by turning height adjusting knob clockwise. Remove anti-kickback pawls and blade guard. CAUTION: Place framing square between carbide teeth and measure from blade. This step will ensure framing square is square against blade from front to back of blade. CAUTION: If the riving knife is out of alignment with the saw blade, adjustment is needed. The blade and riving knife must always be correctly aligned so that the cut workpiece will pass on either side of the riving knife without binding or twisting to the side.

WARNING: Improper riving knife alignment can cause

kickback and serious injury.

WARNING: Make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback

pawls are reinstalled immediately after making any adjustment which requires it to be removed. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury. ADJUSTMENTS

Fig. 29a Fig. 29b The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. Carefully check alignment with a framing square before beginning adjustments to confirm whether they are necessary. Use test cuts after completing adjustments to avoid damaging workpiece. Blade and riving knife alignment is set at factory and in most cases will not need to be adjusted. However, the alignment should always be checked after installing blade or adjusting riving knife, and can be adjusted if necessary. If riving knife is out of alignment with blade, adjustment is needed. Riving knife must be in alignment front to back. RIVING KNIFE AND SAW BLADE ALIGNMENT (FIG. 29a-29b) TO CHECK/ADJUST:

• Place framing square (A) (or straight edge) against both blade (B) and riving knife (C). Blade and riving knife are aligned if framing square contacts both blade and riving knife evenly with no gaps.

• If blade and riving knife are not aligned, remove the table insert, loosen two set screws (D) (located left of riving knife) with 5 mm hex key, adjust the riving knife to left or right until it is aligned with the blade.

• Once properly aligned, securely tighten two set screws and reinstall the table insert.

EnglishWARNING: Rip fence must be aligned to blade so that wood does not bind, resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is reinstalled

immediately after making any adjustment which requires it to be removed. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury. CAUTION: Unplug saw. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls. Raise the blade by turning height adjusting knob. CAUTION: The adjustment must be correct. If it is not, kickback could result in a serious injury and inability to make accurate cuts.

• Place the framing square (A) beside the blade (B), and unlock the fence rails locking lever (C) to move the rip fence (D) up to the square.

• Lock the fence rails locking lever (C) and note the measurement on the rip scale.

• Move the fence back and rotate the framing square (A) 180° to check the other side.

• If the two measurements are not the same, loosen the position screws (E) on the extension poles and then align it.

• Retighten the position screws with 4 mm hex key (supplied). Recheck alignment after position screws are retightened.

• Reinstall the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

• Make two or three test cuts using scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process. DO NOT loosen any position screws for this adjustment until alignment has been checked with a square to be sure adjustment are necessary. Once screws are loosened, items must be reset. Rip fence and blade alignment is set at factory and in most cases will not need to be adjusted. However, the alignment should always be checked after installing blade or before making cuts, and can be adjusted if necessary. If rip fence is out of alignment with blade, adjustment is needed. ALIGNING RIP FENCE TO BLADE (FIG. 30a-30b)

CAUTION: For easy of use, bevel adjust should stop at 45° and 90°.

WARNING: Make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback

pawls are reinstalled immediately after making any adjustment which requires it to be removed. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury. TO CHECK 90° (0°) BEVEL:

• Turn power off and unplug the saw.

• Raise the blade to the maximum height by turning the height adjusting knob clockwise.

• Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.

• Using a framing square (A), set the blade (B) to exactly 90°.

• If the blade stops bevelling before it gets to 90°, loosen the 90° stop set screw (C) (located at the left of the table insert), and then adjust it to 90°.

• With the blade set at 90°, slowly turn the 90° stop set screw (C) until you feel resistance. Bevel the blade away from 90° a little, and then back to the stop.

• Re-measure the angle and repeat the stop adjustment as necessary until the blade stops at 90°. TO CHECK 45° BEVEL:

• Turn power off and unplug the saw.

• Raise the blade to the maximum height by turning the height adjusting knob clockwise.

• Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.

• Using a triangle square (D), set the blade (B) to exactly 45°.

• If the blade stops bevelling before it gets to 45°, loosen the 45° stop set screw (E) (located at the right of the table insert), and then adjust it to 45°.

• With the blade set at 45°, slowly turn the 45° stop set screw (E) until you feel resistance. Bevel the blade away from 45° a little, and then back to the stop.

• Re-measure the angle and repeat the stop adjustment as necessary until the blade stops at 45°. This saw has positive stops that will quickly position the saw blade at 90° (0°) or 45° to the table. Angle settings of saw have been set at the factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require setting during assembly. After extensive use, they may need to be checked. BEVEL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 31a-31b)

• Unlock the fence rails lock lever (A).

• Set the blade at 0° bevel and move the fence (B) in until it touches the blade.

• Lock the fence rails lock lever (A).

• Loosen the rip fence scale indicator screws (C, D) and set the red line (E) on the rip fence scale indicator (F) to read zero.

• Retighten the rip fence indicator screws (C, D). The top rip scale reads correctly only when the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade and is in position 1 (G) (for 0 to 27 in. ripping) [not the 35 in. position]. The bottom scale reads correctly only when the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade and in position 2 (H) (for 8 in. to 35 in. ripping). ADJUSTING RIP FENCE SCALE INDICATOR (FIG. 32)

• With blade perpendicular to table, loosen screw (A).

• Set the bevel indicator (B) to align with 0° on bevel scale (C).

• Retighten screw (A). Adjust the red line on the bevel indicator if it is not aligned with zero when the blade is perpendicular to the table. ADJUSTING BEVEL INDICATOR (FIG. 33) Fig. 32 Fig. 33
