GENERAL SAFETY IMFORMATION
1) Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a

power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at
least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25' (7.6 m)
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 impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a 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. The use of improper
accessories may risk injury.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool

accidents and injury. Make sure all users are familiar with
its warnings and instructions before using tool.
• Guard against electric 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 nishing 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 oors 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 the 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
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 qualied 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.
• Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not t 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
uids, 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" (25.4 cm). 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.
• Firmly mount the tool on a secure surface to ensure
its stability before operating the tool.
• Never start a tool when any rotating component is in
contact with the workpiece.
• Do not operate a tool while under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
• 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
• 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
nishing 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 sufcient 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 ngers 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 qualied service technician at an authorized service
facility. The conductor with insulation having an outer
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Guarding related warnings
• Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired
or replaced.
• Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-
kickback device for every through-cutting operation.
For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts
completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the
guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of
injury.
• Immediately reattach the guarding system after
completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing
or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard,
riving knife and/or anti-kickback device. The guard,
riving knife, and anti-kickback device help to reduce the
risk of injury.
• 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.
• 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 device to work,
they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife
and anti-kickback device are ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving
knife and anti-kickback device. Under these conditions a
kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and anti-
kickback device.
• 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.
2) Cutting procedures warnings
• DANGER: Never place your ngers or hands in the
vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the
saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
• 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.
• 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 rip fence and the miter guage at the same
time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and
kickback.
• When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding
force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push
stick when the distance between the fence and the
saw blade is less than 6" (15 cm), and use a push block
when this distance is less than 2" (5 cm). “Work helping”
devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the
saw blade.
• Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer
or constructed in accordance with the instructions.
This push stick provides sufcient distance between the
hand and the saw blade.
• Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the
saw blade.
• Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use
either the rip fence or the miter gauge to position
and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means using your
hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or miter gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
• Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact
with the moving saw blade.
• 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.
• 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

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 sufcient to inict 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's condition.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3) Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a
pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the
workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of
the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the
rip fence or other xed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from
the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled
towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
• 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 support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the
saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your ngers
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 rabbeting, dadoing or resawing 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 minimize 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.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
• Turn off the table saw and disconnect the battery pack
when removing the table insert, changing the saw
blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-
kickback device or blade guard, and when the machine
is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid
accidents.
• Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it
off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete
stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled
hazard.
• 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 provides enough room to
easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped,
dark areas, and uneven slippery oors invite accidents.
• Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the
saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated
sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
• The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not
properly secured may move or tip over.
• Remove tools, wood scraps, etc., from the table before
the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam
can be dangerous.
• Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run off-center causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting
means such as anges, saw blade washers, bolts or
nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for
your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
• Never stand on the table saw; do not use it as
a stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
• Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in
the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire
Page 9
• 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.
• Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufcient set.
Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with
cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw
blades minimize binding, stalling and kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or
stall the motor.
• Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw
is running. The material may become trapped between
the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade
pulling your ngers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off
and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
• Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top
when ripping workpieces less than 1/16" (2 mm) thick.
A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and
create a kickback.
Page 10
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 3" (7.6 cm) 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 rst
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 workpieces. 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:
1. Keeping blade sharp.
2. Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
3. Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard
in place and operating.
4. Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way
past the saw blade using a push stick.
5. 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
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper
saw blade installation or use of accessories not
recommended may cause serious injury.
• Firmly bolt the saw to a work bench or leg stand
at approximately hip height.
• Never operate the saw on the oor.
• 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 nishing 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 1/16" (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.
• 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 nishing any non-through cut operations which
require their removal.
• ALWAYS lock the rip fence and secure bevel adjustment
rmly before cutting.
• ALWAYS secure work rmly 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
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.
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 t into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t, contact a
qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
DOUBLE INSULATION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz.
A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
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.
Be sure extension cords are properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualied technician before using it.
Protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat,
and damp or wet areas.

Applications
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below:
• Straight-line cutting operations, such as crosscutting, ripping, mitering, and compound cutting.
• Cabinet making and woodworking.
Operating components
• 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn switch off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, have push stick ready to use before starting cut.
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: 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.
WARNING: Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed except for dado and other non-through cuts.
Reinstall the blade guard immediately after nishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade
guard. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time: 1) ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing
and respiratory equipment. 2) Blade is securely tightened. 3) Bevel angle and fence rails locking lever is locked. 4) If ripping,
ensure that rip fence locking lever is locked and that the fence is parallel to the blade. 5) If crosscutting, miter gauge lock
knob is securely tightened. 6) The blade guard assembly is properly attached and the anti-kickback assembly is functioning.
WARNING: Although many of the illustration in this Operator's Manual are shown with the blade guard removed
for clarity, do not operate the saw without the blade guard unless specically instructed to do so.
OPERATION
Page 32
• The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts and narrow fence is 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.
Causes of kickback
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.
• Forcing a cut.
• Cutting warped or wet lumber.
• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.
• Not following correct operating procedures.
• Misusing the saw.
• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.
• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
Precautions of kickback
NOTE: 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 ngers 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 minimize 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 sufcient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken
teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimize binding, stalling and kickback.

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.
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.
Cutting aids
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 on page 37-38.
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
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
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.

OPERATION
WARNING: Do not attempt to create a jig unless you are thoroughly familiar with table saw safety. Do not use any
jig that could result in pinching of a kerf or jamming of the workpiece between the jig and the blade. Incorrect setups may
cause kickback which could result in serious injury.
Jigs
Jigs may be created with a variety of special set-ups to control particular workpiece shapes for particular cuts. Guidance
on how to make specialized jigs can be found in woodworking magazines and other reference sources.
How to make a push stick (Fig. 20a-20b)
• 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 ts 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.

• Set rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in. “nger” to
be cut in the stock.
• Feed stock only to mark previously a 1/4 in. “nger” to be
cut in the stock.
• Turn saw off and allow blade to completely stop rotating
before removing stock.
• Reset rip fence and cut spaced rips into workpiece
to allow approximately 1/4 in. ngers and 1/8 in. spaces
between ngers.
How to make a push block (Fig. 22)
• Select a piece of wood about 4 in. wide, 6 in. long and 1
to 2 in. thick (a cutoff from a 2 by 4 makes a good blank
for a push block).
• Drill a hole in the block and glue in a dowel to use
as a handle (you can angle the hole to provide a
more comfortable grip on the handle).
• To nish off the block, glue a piece of sandpaper or some
kind of rubber material (old mouse pads work well) to the
bottom of the block.

Through cuts
WARNING:
- Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts
to avoid possible injury.
- DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
- To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold
the workpiece rmly against the miter gauge during any miter cut.
- DO NOT attempt compound miter cuts, with blade beveled and miter fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with
the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.
- DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar with the proper procedures and
necessary accessories.
- Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury.
- Never make freehand cuts without miter gauge or rip fence. Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury.

Cutting tips
• The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make
allowance for the kerf when measuring wood.
• Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the measuring line.
• Cut the wood with the nish side up.
• Knock out loose knots before making cut.
• Always provide proper support for wood as it comes out of saw.
Making cuts
• Stand slightly to the side of blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur.
• Use miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel and compound miter cuts. To secure angle, lock miter gauge in place
by twisting lock knob clockwise. ALWAYS tighten lock knob securely in place before use.
Types of cuts (Fig. 23)
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.
WARNING: Never use the rip fence and miter gauge together. This may cause a kickback condition and injury the
operator.

Dados and other non-through cuts
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves, 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.

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.
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 conrm whether they are necessary. Use
test cuts after completing adjustments to avoid damaging workpiece.
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.
WARNING: 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.
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. 25)
DO NOT loosen any position screws for this adjustment
until alignment has been checked with a square to be sure
adjustment is necessary. Once screws are loosened, items
must be reset.
To check/adjust:
• Place the framing square (89) beside the blade (45), and
Unlock the fence rails locking lever (32) to move the rip
fence (6) up to the square.
• Lock the fence rails locking lever (32) and note the
measurement on the rip scale.
• Move the fence back and rotate the framing square (89)
180° to check the other side.
• If the two measurements are not the same, loosen the
position screws (63) 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.
• Replace 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.

CAUTION: For easy of use, bevel adjust should
stop at 45° and 90°.
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.
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 (89), set the blade (45) to exactly
90°.
• If the blade stops bevelling before it gets to 90°, loosen
the 90° stop set screw (90) (located at the left of the bevel
track on the front), and then adjust it to 90°.
• With the blade set at 90°, slowly turn the 90° stop
set screw (90) 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°.

• 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 (91), set the blade (45) to exactly
45°.
• If the blade stops bevelling before it gets to 45°, loosen
the 45° stop set screw (92) (located at the right of the
bevel track on the front), and then adjust it to 45°.
• With the blade set at 45°, slowly turn the 45° stop
set screw (92) until you feel resistance. Bevel the blade
away from 45° a little, and then back to the stop.
