IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY SYMBOLS
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can
result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning power tool operation, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a
full-face shield when needed. We recommend a Wide
Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard
safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye
protection which is marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs
should be performed by a qualied service technician.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Read and understand all of the safety precautions, warnings
and operating instructions in the Instruction Manual before
operating or maintaining this power tool.
Most accidents that result from power tool operation and
maintenance are caused by the failure to observe basic safety
rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by
recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs,
and by observing appropriate safety procedures.
Basic safety precautions are outlined in the “SAFETY” section of
this Instruction Manual and in the sections which contain the
operation and maintenance instructions.
Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or
machine damage are identied by WARNINGS on the power
tool and in this Instruction Manual.
NEVER use this power tool in a manner that has not been
specically recommended by CRAFTSMAN.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) 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 or electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAKE
THEM AVAILABLE TO OTHER USERS AND
OWNERS OF THIS TOOL!

result in electric shock, and/or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the o-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
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may aect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations dierent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
1) Guarding related warnings
a) 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.
b) Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and
anti-kickback device for every throughcutting operation.
For throughcutting 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment
can make the riving knife ineective in reducing the
likelihood of kickback.
f) 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 ineective 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.
g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For
Safety instructions for table saws

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
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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 gauge at the
same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding
and kickback.
d) 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 150 mm, and use a push block when this
distance is less than 50 mm. “Work helping” devices will
keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
e) Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or
constructed in accordance with the instructions. This
push stick provides sucient distance of the hand from
the saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the
saw blade.
g) 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.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental
contact with the moving saw blade.
i) 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.
j) Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist
the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool o
immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam.
Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause
kickback or stall the motor.
k) Do not remove pieces of cut-o 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 o and wait until the saw blade stops before
removing material.
l) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top
when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut o
against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece
being cut o against the saw blade will create a binding
condition and kickback.
d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A
misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the
saw blade and create kickback.
e) 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.
f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of
assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may
cut objects that can cause kickback.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically
or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or
more pieces and cause kickback.
j) 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.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sucient set.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• 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 o.
• Before using, always visually examine the blade and tips
for cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or other
damage. Turn o and unplug saw to perform this action.
• Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety
instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily
injury or loss of eyesight.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order. Blade
guard must be in place for all through cut operations.
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.
• DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it
is in operation. Distraction or a potential jam can be
dangerous.
• 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.
• 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. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear
are recommended when working outdoors.
• 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.
Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with
cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw
blades minimize binding, stalling and kickback.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
a) Turn o the table saw and disconnect the power cord
when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade
or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kickback
device or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left
unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid
accidents.
b) Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it
o and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete
stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled
hazard.
c) 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.
d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the
saw table and/or the dust collection device. Turn o and
unplug saw to perform this action. Accumulated
sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not
properly secured may move or tip over.
f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before
the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam
can be dangerous.
g) 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 o-center, causing loss of control.
h) 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.
i) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a step
stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the blade is accidentally contacted.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the
proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire
brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper
saw blade installation or use of accessories not
recommended may cause serious injury.

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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• FIRMLY BOLT THE SAW TO A WORK BENCH OR LEG STAND
at approximately hip height.
• NEVER OPERATE THE SAW ON THE FLOOR.
• 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 o immediately if blade binds or stalls.
• USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide
when ripping.
• REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES before
transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in an accident
causing possible serious personal injury and can also
damage the fences.
• NEVER PLACE ARMS OR HANDS IN LINE WITH THE PATH
OF THE CUTTING BLADE.
• 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 push blocks for non-through cuts.
• NEVER reach 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 attempt to free a stalled saw blade without rst
turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the
power source. If a workpiece or cut-o piece becomes
trapped inside the blade guard assembly. Turn saw o
and wait for blade to stop before lifting the blade guard
assembly and removing the piece.
• SECURE WORK. Use a clamp or vice to hold workpiece
when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
• TURN UNIT OFF AND UNPLUG THE TOOL when preparing
and/or changing locations. Do not touch the plug blades
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.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
• PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the
cutting operation is dusty.
• PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear ear plugs or earmuffs
during extended periods of operation.
• 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.
• 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.
• BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.
• CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. 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 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.
• 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.
• 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 uid, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.
• USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Never use blade washers or
blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum
blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254mm).
• 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.
• WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
• DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is tight and
not making contact with saw or workpiece before
connecting to power supply.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
DOUBLE INSULATION
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.
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 an outlet, double check the power
supply.
• 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.
f) When bevel ripcut, make sure the rip fence is on the right
side of the blade.
• 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.
• If this saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates
excessively, cease operating immediately, turn unit o and
unplug the tool until the problem has been located and
corrected. Contact a CRAFTSMAN factory service center, a
CRAFTSMAN authorized service center or other qualied
service personnel if the problem can not be found.
• Never leave the POWER TOOL unattended without rst
unplugging the power cord.
• When the tool is in maintenance or servicing or not in use,
ALWAYS turn o saw and unplug the saw. The saw will
automatically shut down when in a power failure, restart
the machine by pressing the green "I" button on the on/o
switch.
• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and
proper operation of power tools (i.e., a safety video) is
available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner
Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2651
(www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also
available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring
Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the U.S.
Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and
use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
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.

you use the 10 in. (254 mm) carbide tipped combination blade
provided with your saw. The blade is raised and lowered with
the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Bevel angles are locked
with the bevel locking lever. Additional blade styles of the same
high quality are available for specic operations such as ripping.
Your local dealer can provide you with complete information.
Blade kerf width must be within the limits stamped on the
riving knife.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the
information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well
as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of
this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and
safety rules.
Anti-kickback Pawls: Kickback is a hazard in which the
workpiece is thrown back toward the operator. The teeth on
the anti-kickback pawls point away from the workpiece. If the
workpiece should be pulled back toward the operator, the teeth
dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of
kickback.
Bevel Scale: The easy-to-read scale on the front of the cabinet
shows the exact blade angle.
Blade Guard: Always keep the guard down over the blade for
through-sawing cuts.
Bevel Locking Lever: This lever under the worktable surface
on the front of the cabinet, locks the angle setting of the blade.
Height/Bevel Adjusting Handwheel: Located on the front
of the cabinet, this handwheel is used to lower and raise the
blade for adjustments or blade replacement. The handwheel
also makes the adjustment for bevel angles easy.
Miter Gauge: The miter gauge aligns the wood for a cross cut.
The easy-to-read indicator shows the exact angle for a miter
cut.
Miter Gauge Grooves: The miter gauge rides in these grooves
in the table on either side of the blade.
Scale: Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read scale provides
precise measurements for rip cuts.
Riving Knife: A metal piece, slightly thinner than the saw
blade, which helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback.
Overload Reset Switch: The saw is equipped with the
overload reset switch to prevent the saw from overload
damage. The saw will automatically shut o if the machine
was with overloaded cutting or low voltage. Wait for the motor
to cool down for at least ve minutes. And press the overload
reset switch button to resume the overload switch. After the
motor has cooled down, press the green “I”-button on the
ON/OFF switch to restart saw.
Arbor: The shaft on which a blade or cutting tool is mounted.
Working table: Surface where the workpiece rests while
performing a cutting operation.
Kerf: The material removed by the blade in a through-cut, or
the slot produced by the blade in a non-through or partial cut.
Push Stick: A push stick should be used for narrow ripping
operations when work piece 6 in. (152 mm) wide or less. These
aids help to keep the operator’s hands well away from the
blade.
Kickback: A hazard that can occur when the blade binds or
stalls, throwing the workpiece back toward the operator.
Ripping or Rip Cut: A cutting operation along the length of
the workpiece.
Bevel Cut: A cutting operation made with the blade at any
angle other than 90° to the table surface.
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.
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit
must not be less than #14 wire with a 15 Amp time-delayed
fuse, and should be protected with a time-delayed circuit
breaker or 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.
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.

injury, turn unit o and unplug the tool before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Before using the saw, verify the following
each and every time:
• ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory
equipment.
• Blade is securely tightened.
• Bevel locking lever is locked.
• If ripping, ensure that rip fence locking handle is
locked and that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If crosscutting, miter gauge lock knob is securely
tightened.
• The blade guard assembly is properly attached
and the anti-kickback assembly is functioning.
• Have push sticks available and accessible.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, have push stick ready to use before starting
cut.
WARNING: Feed the workpiece into the saw blade
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: When the tool is in maintenance or
servicing or not in use, ALWAYS turn o saw and
unplug the saw. The saw will automatically shut
down when in a power failure, restart the machine by
pressing the green "I" button on the on/o switch.
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 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: 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.
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.
• The rip fence is used to position workpiece for
lengthwise cuts.
• It’s very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback
pawls, and blade guard for all through-cut sawing
operations.
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.
Avoiding kickback
NOTICE: Kickback can be avoided by taking following
proper precautions:
• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of
the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 in.
(3 mm) to 1/4 in. (6 mm). (See Fig. 15)
Applications
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below:
• Straight-line cutting operations, such as crosscutting,
ripping, mitering, and compound cutting.
• Dado with optional accessories.
NOTICE: This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood
composition products only. Never cut metals, cement
board, or masonry.

into the saw blade.
• Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut
o against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the
workpiece being cut o against the saw blade will
create a binding condition and kickback.
• Use of a featherboard will help hold the workpiece
securely against the saw table or fence when making
non-through cuts such as rabbets, dado cuts. A
featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the
event of a kickback.
• Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically
or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or
more pieces and cause kickback.
• Clean the saw, blade guard, under the table insert, and
any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces may
gather.
• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
• Always use the riving knife for every operation where it
is allowed. The use of this device will greatly reduce the
risk of kickback.

• Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a
cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never
saw into a loose knot or nail.
• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting. Use the miter
gauge when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting
the wood in the cut.
• Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A
misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the
saw blade and create kickback.
• Always use a clean, sharp, and properly set blade. Never
make cuts with a dull blade. Never use a warped saw
blade or saw blade with cracked or broken teeth.
Sharp and properly set saw blade minimize binding,
stalling and kickback.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the workpiece
properly before beginning a cut.
• 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.
• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
force cuts.
• Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
• Use extra caution when cutting some prenished or
composition wood products as the anti-kickback pawls
may not always be eective.
• Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of
assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may
cut objects that can cause kickback.
• 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.
• Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with
push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a
balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should it
occur. Never stand directly in line with the 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

Push sticks
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.
How to make an additional push stick
(Fig. 21a-21b)
• 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 (Fig. 21a).
• No special wood is needed to make additional push
sticks as long as it’s sturdy and long enough. Make sure
that a push stick is long enough and has 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 with dierent size notches for dierent
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.
WARNING: Use only the push stick provided by the
manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the
instructions. This push stick provides sucient
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.

Miter gauge (Fig. 20)
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. A push block has a handle fastened
by recessed screws from the underside. Use push blocks for
narrow cuts and all non-through cuts. Instructions for
making cutting aids can be found in later section.
Cutting aids
The miter gauge provides accuracy in angled cuts. For very
close tolerances, test cuts 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.
The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the left or right.
• Loosen lock knob turning it counter-clockwise.
• With miter gauge in miter gauge groove, rotate miter
gauge body until desired angle is reached on scale .
• Retighten lock knob turning it clockwise.

How to make a push block (Fig. 22)
• Select a piece of wood about 4 in. (101 mm) wide, 6 in.
(152 mm ) long and 1 (25 mm) to 2 in. (51 mm) thick (a
cuto from a 2 in. (51 mm) by 4 in. (101 mm) 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.
Push blocks
How to make a featherboard (Fig. 23)
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.
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.
Featherboards
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. Test to ensure it can resist kickback.
• The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw.
Select a solid piece of lumber approximate 3/4 in.
(19 mm) thick, 2 1/2 in. (63 mm) wide and 12 in.
(305 mm) long.
• Mark the center width on one end of stock. Miter width
to 70° ( See miter cut section for information on miter
cuts).
• Set rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in. (6 mm)
“nger” to be cut in the stock.
• Feed the stock only to the mark previously made at 4 in.
(100 mm).
• Turn saw o 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. (6 mm) ngers and 1/8 in.
(3 mm) spaces between ngers.
How to mount a featherboard (Fig. 24)
• Completely lower the saw blade. Position the rip fence
to the desired adjustment for the cut to be performed
and lock.
• Place the workpiece against the fence and over the
saw blade area. Adjust the featherboard to apply
resistance to the workpiece just forward of the blade.
Attach C-clamps (not included) to further secure the
featherboard to the edge of the saw table.

Types of cuts (Fig. 26)
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.
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts made across the grain of the
workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90° angle to the
blade, and the blade is vertical.
Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood. To avoid
kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of the
wood rides rmly against the rip fence.
Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the
blade other than 90°. The blade is vertical. Miter cuts tend to
“creep” during cutting. This can be controlled by holding
the workpiece securely against the miter gauge.
Bevel cuts are made with a blade set at an angle. Bevel
cross cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are
with the grain.
Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with a blade set
at an angle on wood that is angled to the blade. Be
thoroughly familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel
cuts, and miter cuts before trying a compound miter cut.
• Use the miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel,
and compound miter cuts. To secure the angle, lock the
miter gauge in place by twisting the lock knob
clockwise. Always tighten the lock knob securely in
place before use.
before connecting saw to power source. Stand slightly
to the side of the blade path to reduce the chance of
injury should kickback occur.
WARNING: Always use a push stick with small pieces
of wood, and also to nish the cut when ripping a
long narrow piece of wood, to prevent your hands
from getting close to the blade.
CAUTION: All other cuts are combinations of these
basic six. Operating procedures for making each kind
of cut are given later in this section.
WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard is in
place and working properly when making these cuts
to avoid possible injury.
WARNING: Never use the fence and miter gauge
together. This may cause a kickback condition and
injury to the operator.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you place the
piece to be saved on the left side of the blade and that
you make a test cut on scrap wood rst.
WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the
speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could
result in personal injury.

Making a non-through cut (Fig. 34)
Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 in. blade) can
be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross
cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting
grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. This is the only type cut that
is made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make
sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon
completion of this type of cut. Read the appropriate section
which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on
non-through or dado 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: When making a non-through cut, the
blade is covered by the workpiece during most of the
cut. Be alert to the exposed blade at the start and
nish of every cut to reduce the risk of personal injury.
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: Never feed wood with your hands when
making any non-through cut such as rabbets or
dadoes. To avoid personal injury, always use push
blocks, push sticks, and 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.
