before plugging in the power cord.

12.REMOVEADJUSTING TOOLS. ALWAYS MAKE SURE all tools are removedfrom the

table saw before turning it on.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13. NEVER LEAVE POWER SWITCH ON WHILE UNATTENDED. Turn the power

switch to OFF. DO NOT leave the toot until it has come to a complete stop.

14. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is

accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.

15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at alt times. Wear oil-resistant

rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap and other debris.

17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check moving parts for alignment, jamming,

breakage, improper mounting or any other condition that may affect the tool's

operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.

18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks, master switches and

ALWAYS remove starter keys.

19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication

that could affect your ability to use the toot properly.

20. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

21. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO USE OR OPERATE THIS TABLE SAW UNTIL THEY

HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

A table saw can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could

CAUSE permanent eye damage.

ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses). Ordinary eyeglasses

have only impact-resistant lenses...they are NOT safety goggles.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USINGTHE TABLE SAW WiTH LASER LiNE

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TABLE SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY

ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS ]

1. ALWAYS USE THE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti-kickback pawls for every

operation for which they can be used, including through-sawing. Through-sawing

operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when

ripping or cross-cutting.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the mitre gauge or rip fence.

3. USE A PUSH STICK when required, especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to

ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A

pattern for making your own push stick is included.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE HAND"= this means using only your

hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or the

mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece.

WARNING: FREE HAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICK=BACK &

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 table saw for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross cutting.

8. DO NOT USE a moulding 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 cross-cutting.

11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without first turning the table

saw OFF and unplugging the table saw. Immediately, turn the power switch OFF to

prevent motor damage.

12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the work table for long or

wide workpieces.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown backtowards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the

ripfence parallelto the saw bladeand by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawlsand

guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release workpiece before it has passed

beyond the saw blade's cutting arc. Do not rip pieces that are twisted, warped or that do

not have a straight edge to guide it along the rip fence.

14.AVOIDAWKWARD 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 plastic parts. Only a soft damp cloth should be usedto clean plastic

parts.

16.MOUNTyour table saw on a work bench or stand before performing any cutting

operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY instructions.

17.NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.

18.ALWAYS USE INWELL VENTILATED AREA. Removesawdust frequently. Clean out

sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.

19.NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not leavethe work area until the saw

comes to a complete stop.

20.Forproper operation follow the instructions in this Instruction Manual(Page 23).

Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will cause sawdust to build up

in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and potential motordamage.

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 toot is

equipped with an electric cord that has 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 an electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric

shock. The conductor 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 if the toot is properly grounded.

USE ONLY EXTENSION CORDS that have

3-pronged plugs. Only plug into 3-pronged outlets

that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cords

immediately.

1) 3-prong plug 2) Properly grounded outlet

3) Grounding prong

CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION

IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IT IS, HAVE A CERTIFIED

ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

I ARNING: THIS TABLE SAW IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO

RAINOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

Make sure the extension cord is ingood condition. When using an extension cord, be sure

to use one 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. The table below

shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If

in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)

(when using 120 V only)

Ampere Rating Total length of cord in feet

More Than Not More Than 25' 50' 100' 150'

0 6 18' 16' 16' 14'

6 10 18' 16' 14' 12'

10 12 16' 16' 14' 12'

Make 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.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be tess than a #12 wire

with a 20 A time tag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time lag fuse. Before connecting the

motor 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 nameplate. Running at a lower

voltage will damage the motor.

I ARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE

OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
