OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your saw is supplied with overload protection. If the motor shuts
o or fails to start due to overloading (cutting stock too fast, using
a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity, etc.) or low voltage,
let the motor cool three to ve minutes. Then depress the red reset
button
B
, on the motor under the saw, see Figure 49, and restart
the saw.
NOTICE: If the motor continually shuts o due to
overloading, contact a qualied electrician.
MAKING CUTS
Failure to comply with the following the warnings
may result in serious personal injury.
• NEVER touch the free end of the workpiece (the cut-o side
beyond the front edge of the blade) or a free piece that is cut
o, while the power is on and/or the saw blade is rotating.
Blade contact or binding may occur, resulting in a thrown
workpiece
• When sawing a long workpiece or a panel, use a work
support, such as a sawhorse, rollers or out-feed table at the
same height as the table surface of the saw.
• NEVER try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning.
If you need to pull the workpiece back or lift it o the table,
turn the switch o, allow the blade to stop, raise the anti-
kickback pawls on each side of the riving knife if necessary,
and slide the workpiece out.
• ALWAYS make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls
are in place and working properly.
• DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
• 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.
• Avoid bevel rip cuts with majority of material on left side of
blade.
• NEVER stand in front of the workpiece.
• ALWAYS stand on the same side of the blade as the fence
during a rip cut and the miter gauge during a cross cut.
Cross Cut Mitered Crosscut Rip Cut
Beveled Cross Cut Beveled Rip Cut Compound Miter Cut
• Before connecting the table saw to the power source or
operating the saw, ALWAYS inspect the blade guard
assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance
with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of
beveling angle.
• A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations
to prevent loss of control and personal injury. ALWAYS lock
the fence to the rail. NEVER perform a ripping operation
freehand.
OPERATION
MAKING CUTS
• When making bevel cuts, place the fence on the right side of
the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and
hands. KEEP hands clear of the blade and use a push stick
to feed the workpiece unless the workpiece is large enough
to allow you to hold it more than 6 inches (152mm) from the
blade.
• Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power switch, or
take other appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized use
of the saw.
