21.DONOTOVERREACH. Keep properfootingandbalanceatall times. 22.MAINTAIN 25. 26. I,_ DANGER I Pe°plewith electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure 23. DO NOT use power tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases. 24.
1.ALWAYSUSESAW BLADE GUARD, riving knife and antikickback pawls for every throughsawing 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. 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. , 2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence. 3.
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. Secure tool properly to prevent unexpected movement. Refer to ASSEMBLY on page 19. 17.
SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY, ANTIKICKBACK ASSEMBLY AND RIVING KNIFE Your table saw is equipped with a blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife that covers the blade and reduces the possibility of accidental blade contact. The riving knife is a flat plate that fits into the cut made by the saw blade and effectively fights kickback by lessening the tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECiFiCATiONS i_ WARNING i To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your table saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
GUiDELiNES FOR EXTENSION CORDS Fig. 1 Three-Pronged 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 technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. • • = • e-= Rating Not More Than Total 25 (7.82 15.24 30.48 45.72 0 6 18 16 16 14 6 10 18 16 14 12 10 12 16 18 14 12 ft. m) WARNING l This tool is for indoor use only.

when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a dull blade or undersized extensing cord. inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again. Fig. O0 USING THE DUST PORT (FIG. NN) [A wARNING ] To prevent fire hazard, clean and remove sawdust from under the saw frequently. CUTTING OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece.
RiPPiNG (FIG. PP, QQ) IA WARNING ] To prevent serious injury: • Never use a miter gauge when ripping. • Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut. • Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury. • Keep both hands away from the blade and clear from the path of the blade.
9. Neverpulltheworkpiecebackwhen the bladeisturning.Turntheswitch OFF.Whenthebladecompletely stops,youcanthenremovethe workpiece. I,A WARNING 1 Never attempt to pull the workpiece backwards during a cutting operation. This will cause kickback and serious injury to the user can occur. When the blade completely stops, raise the anti-kickback pawls (7) on each side of the riving knife and slide the workpiece out. (Fig.

Fig. UU I I 3/8i_ _ 2 CROSSCUTTING 1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the miter gauge groove on the table. 2. Adjust the blade height so that it is 1/8 in. higher than the top of the workpiece. 3.
USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (FIG. WW) Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach it to the miter gauge with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw blade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple outfeed support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.
COMPOUND CROSSCUTTING (FIG. 77) 00~45 ° Blade bevel & 00~45 ° Miter angle This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a bevel angle. l_ WARNING 1 Always work to the right side of the blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the right side groove because the bevel angle may cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the left side groove. 1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle, 2. Place the miter gauge in the right side groove of the table. 3.
