WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals (known to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING
Before using your table saw, it is critical that you read and understand these safety rules. Failure to follow
these rules could result in serious injury or damage to the table saw.
Good safety practices are a combination of common
sense, staying alert and understanding how to use your
power tool. To avoid mistakes that could cause serious
injury, do not plug in your power tool until you have read
and understood the following safety rules:
1. READ and become familiar with this entire
Operator’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s applications,
limitations and possible hazards.
2.
Look for this symbol that identifies important
safety precautions. It means BE ALERT! YOUR
SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
3. NEVER OPERATE THIS MACHINE WITHOUT
THE SAFETY GUARD IN PLACE FOR ALL
THROUGH–SAWING OPERATIONS.
4. DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT
such as damp or wet locations or in the rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
5. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept
at a safe distance from the work area.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job
better and safer if used at the rate for which it was
designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry that may get caught in moving parts.
Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing,
cutting and sanding operations produce dust.
12. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories, such as blades, cutters, etc.
13. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging tool into the power supply.
14. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the Operator’s Manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause injury to you or damage to the tool.
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning ON.
16. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool
before the blade comes to a complete stop.
17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
18. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
19. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp
and clean for most efficient and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
20. CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR LOOSE PARTS.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, loose mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its safe operation. A
guard or other part that is loose or damaged should
be properly adjusted, repaired or replaced.
21. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the
influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that
could impair your ability to use the tool safely.
23. USE A DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM whenever
possible. Dust generated from certain materials can
be hazardous to your health and, in some cases,
a fire hazard. Always operate the power tool in a
well-ventilated area with adequate dust removal.
24. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power
tool can throw debris into your eyes that could
cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI
safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety
glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they
break.
25. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
WARNING

English
TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and
anti-kickback pawls for every through–sawing
operation. Through–sawing operations are those
in which the blade cuts completely through the
workpiece when ripping or crosscutting. Always be
sure blade guard is tightened securely.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or rip fence.
3. ALWAYS USE a push stick, especially when ripping
narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this
Operator’s Manual where the push stick is covered
in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is
included on page 25.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION
FREEHAND, which means using only your hands
to support or guide the workpiece. Always use
either the fence or the miter gauge to position
and guide the work.
WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE
MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/
HAND AMPUTATIONS.
5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in
line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands
out of the saw blade path.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for
any reason.
7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.
8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the
direction of rotation only.
10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when
crosscutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn
power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor
damage.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear
and the sides of the saw table for long or wide
workpieces.
13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards
you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence
parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the splitter,
anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned
and functioning. Do not release work before passing
it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work
that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide it along the fence.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the saw blade.
15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.
Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise
damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should
be used to clean plastic parts.
16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand
before performing any cutting operations. Refer to
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 11.
17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may make
hazardous dust.
18. ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust
from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential
fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for
additional sawdust removal.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING
UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until the blade
comes to a complete stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in
this Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 11). Failure to provide
sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow
sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a
fire hazard and potential motor damage.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage
to the table saw, use proper circuit protection.
Always use a separate electrical circuit for your
tools. This power tool is wired at the factory for
120V operation. Connect it to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit
and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
To avoid shock or fire, replace the cord immediately
if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
Any extension cord must be GROUNDED for safe
operation.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be
grounded (3-wire with two flat prongs and one round
ground prong).
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, make sure you use one
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
above shows the correct size to use according to
extension cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
NOTE: The 12 to 16 amp rating is correct for this tool. It
is highlighted in the table above.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Before connecting the saw to the extension cord, make
sure the saw switch is turned OFF.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into
a matching receptacle 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 receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor (wire) with the green insulation (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.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole grounding receptacles that
accept the saw’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cords immediately.
