WARNING:

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations

and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result

in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

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.

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 flammable 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

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. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce 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 a GFCI reduces the risk

of electric shock.

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 influence

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 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 finger 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 rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power tool

in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

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.

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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

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.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

4 - English

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES

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.

Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE AND ANTI-

KICKBACK PAWLS

 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 pawls 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

pawls. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls

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 the

operator’s 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 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 different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

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.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

 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.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

 DANGER: Never place your fingers 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 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 the rip fence

and the miter gauge 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 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.

 Use only the push stick provided by the

manufacturer or constructed in accordance with

the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient

distance of the hand from the saw blade.

5 - English

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES

 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 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 fingers 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 2 mm thick. A

thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and

create a kickback.

KICKBACK

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 fixed 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 to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with

the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your

fingers into the saw blade.

 Never hold and press the workpiece that is being

cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the

workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will

create a binding condition and kickback.

 Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A

misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the

saw blade and create kickback.

 Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against

the table and fence when making non-through

cuts such as 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.

 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, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that

the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If

the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and

cause kickback when the saw is restarted.

 Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient

set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades

with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set

saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

TABLE SAW OPERATION

 Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power

cord when removing the throat plate, changing

the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving

knife, anti-kickback pawls 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.

6 - English

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

 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

floors 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 arbour holes. Saw blades

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw

will run off-centre, causing loss of control.

 Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade

mounting means such as flanges, 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 brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw.

Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories

not recommended may cause serious injury.

 Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual

carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations

as well as the specific potential hazards related to this

tool.

 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.

 Always wear eye protection with side shields

marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so

could result in objects being thrown into your eyes,

resulting in possible serious injury.

 Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when

practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both

hands to operate tool.

 Use recommended accessories. Consult the

operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may risk injury.

 Use only correct blades. Do not use blades with

incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade

bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum

blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).

 Check damaged parts. Before further use of the

tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions

that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by

an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal

injury.

 Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the

power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete

stop.

 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

cutting operation is dusty.

 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection 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.

 Always keep the blade guard and riving knife

(splitter) in place and in working order.

 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.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding

plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from

the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough

to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized

extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in

a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the

chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size

required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords

listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord

that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the

letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or

exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.

Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,

tools or other obstructions while you are working with a

power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal

injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged

replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged

cord since touching the damaged area could cause

electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product is powered by a precision built electric motor.

It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC

only (normal household current), 60 Hz. 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 saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet,

double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,000 rpm.

This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or

with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as

important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended

only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire

that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for

a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool

may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction

or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance

for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This

tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING:

Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a

risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the

cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to

either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having

an outer surface that is green with or without yellow

stripes is the grounding wire.

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.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has

a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1.

Only connect the product to an outlet having the same

configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this

product.

KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW

See Figure 2.

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 removable 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 - For maximum performance, it is recommended

that you use the 10 in. 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 specific 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.

WARNING:

Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.

Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

FEATURES

BLADE GUARD - Always keep the removable blade guard

down over the saw blade for through-sawing cuts.

BEVEL LOCKING LEVER - This lever, placed just under

the saw table 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, use this handwheel to lower and raise

the blade for height adjustments or blade replacement. This

handwheel also makes the adjustment for bevel angles easy.

MITER GAUGE - The miter gauge aligns the workpiece 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 the

grooves on the saw table.

RIP FENCE - A sturdy metal fence guides the workpiece

and is secured with the locking lever.

RIP SCALE - Located on the front rail, the easy-to-read rip

scale provides precise measurements for rip cuts.

RIVING KNIFE - A removable metal piece of the blade

guard assembly, slightly thinner than the saw blade, which

helps keep the kerf open and prevent kickback. When in the

through sawing, or “up” position, it is higher than the saw

blade. When in the non-through sawing, or “down” position,

it is below the saw blade teeth.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY - This saw has an easy access switch

assembly located below the front rail. To lock the switch in

the OFF position, remove the switch key from the switch.

Place the key in a location that is inaccessible to children

and others not qualified to use the tool.

FEATURES

OPERATING COMPONENTS

The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table

and is surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. The

height of the blade is set with a handwheel on the front of

the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels, the saw table

has rails on each side. Detailed instructions are provided in

the Operation section of this manual for the basic cuts: cross

cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.

The rip fence is used to position work for lengthwise cuts.

A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip

fence and the blade.

It is very important to use the blade guard assembly for

all through-sawing operations. The blade guard assembly

includes: riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY
