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 from lead-based paints,
● Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and
● 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 those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

hazards.
10.USE PROPER EXTENSION
CORDS. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to
use the one heavy enough to carry
the current that the product will
draw. An undersized cord will result
in a drop in line voltage and in loss
of power which will cause the tool
overheat. The table on page 13
shows the proper wire gauge size
usage to each extension cord length
and ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE
GUARD, riving knife and antikickback pawls assembly 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.
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. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work
into a blade against the direction of
rotation of the blade.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE
FIRMLY against the miter gauge or
rip fence.
10.NEVER use the rip fence as a
cut-off gauge when crosscutting.
3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push
block, 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 56.
11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A
STALLED SAW BLADE without first
turning the saw OFF. Turn power
switch OFF immediately to prevent
motor damage.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY
OPERATION FREEHAND, which
means can using hands to support
the workpiece, but always use either
the fence OR the miter gauge to
position and guide the workpiece.
!
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 riving knife, anti-kickback pawls
assembly 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.
Do not attempt to reverse out of a
cut with the blade running.
WARNING
FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE
MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK
AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.
NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE
AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
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.
8
14.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS
and hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause your hand to move
into the saw blade.
20.For proper operation follow the
instructions in this Instruction
Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 20). 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.
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.
21.USE ONLY saw blades
recommended with the warning that
the riving knife shall not be thicker
than the width of the groove cut by
the saw blade and not thinner than
the body of the saw blade.
16.MOUNT your table saw on a
bench or stand before performing
any cutting operations. Refer to
ASSEMBLY on page 20. Secure
tool properly to prevent unexpected
movement.
17.
!
22.USE PUSH-STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK to feed the workpiece past
the saw blade. The push-stick or
push block should always be stored
with the machine when not in use.
WARNING
Never cut metals or masonry
products with this tool. This table
saw is designed for use on wood
and wood-like products only.
18.ALWAYS USE IN A WELLVENTILATED 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.

TABLE SAW SAFETY
glasses, the means to avoid kickback
and all other warnings contained in this
manual and on the saw itself. Replace
the guarding systems as soon as you
return to thru-cutting operations. Keep
the guard assembly in working order.
SAW BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY,
ANTI-KICKBACK 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.
The blade guard assembly and antikickback assembly can only be used
when making through cuts that sever
the wood. When making rabbets and
other cuts that make non through cuts,
the blade guard assembly and antikickback assembly must be removed
and riving knife lowered to the
non through cut position marked on the
riving knife. Two anti-kickback pawls are
located on the sides of the riving knife
that allow the wood to pass through the
blade in the cutting direction but reduce
the possibility of the material being
thrown backwards toward the operator.
Use all components of the guarding
system (blade guard assembly, riving
knife and anti-kickback assembly) for
every operation for which they can
be used including all through cutting.
If you elect not to use any of these
components for a particular application
exercise additional caution regarding
control of the workpiece, the use of
push sticks, the position of your hands
relative to the blade, the use of safety
KICKBACKS
KICKBACKS: Kickbacks can cause
serious injury. A kickback occurs when
a part of the workpiece binds between
the saw blade and the rip fence, or
other fixed object, and rises from the
table and is thrown toward the operator.
Kickbacks can be avoided by attention
to the following conditions.
How to Avoid Kickbacks and Protect
Yourself from Possible Injury:
a. Be certain that the rip fence is
parallel to the saw blade.
b. Do not rip by applying the feed force
to the section of the workpiece that
will become the cut-off (free) piece.
Feed force when ripping should
always be applied between the saw
blade and the fence; use a push
stick for narrow work, 6 in. (152
mm) wide or less.
c. Keep saw blade guard assembly,
riving knife and anti-kickback
assembly in place and operating
properly. If anti-kickback assembly
is not operational, return your unit
to the nearest authorized service
center for repair. The riving knife
must be in alignment with the saw
blade and the anti-kickback pawls
assembly must stop a kickback

once it has started. Check their
action before ripping by pushing
the wood under the anti-kickback
assembly. The teeth must prevent
the wood from being pulled toward
the front of the saw.
Plastic and composite (like
hardboard) materials may be cut on
your saw. However, since these are
usually quite hard and slippery, the
anti-kickback pawls may not stop a
kickback. Therefore, be especially
attentive to following proper set up
and cutting procedures for ripping.
Use saw blade guard assembly,
anti-kickback pawls assembly and
riving knife for every operation for
which it can be used, including all
through-sawing.
Push the workpiece past the saw
blade prior to release.
Never rip a workpiece that is
twisted or warped, or does not
have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.
Never saw a large workpiece that
cannot be controlled.
Never use the fence as a guide or
length stop when crosscutting.
Never saw a workpiece with loose
knots, flaws, nails or other foreign
objects.
Never rip a workpiece shorter than
10 in. (254 mm).
NEVER use a dull blade – replace
or have resharpened.
NEVER use a rip fence and miter
gauge together.
Keep hands out of saw blade.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electrical
cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.

WARNING
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 120 V operation. Connect
to a 120 V, 15 Amp 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.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or
service person if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not certain the tool is
properly grounded.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
!
USE only 3-wire extension cords
that have three-pronged grounding
plugs with three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug. Repair
or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
WARNING
This tool must be grounded while
in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an
electrical 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.
Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tool. This circuit must not be less
than # 14 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time delay 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG
PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
12
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION
CORD. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power,
overheating and burning out of the
motor. The table below shows the
correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
The adapter (Fig. 2) has a grounding
lug extending from it that MUST be
connected to a permanent earth
ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
! CAUTION

In all cases, make certain the
receptacle is properly grounded. If
you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION
CORDS

CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts:
ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is
cutting along the length and the grain of
the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting
either across the width or across the
grain of the workpiece. (It is not safe to
rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping
requires the use of the rip fence, and
crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
NEVER USE A RIP FENCE AND
MITER GAUGE TOGETHER.
USING THE TABLE EXTENSION
(FIG. VV, WW)
If the table extension is not parallel
with the table, remove the bolts (1)
and position the extension leveling
spacers (2) between the table
extension and tube until it is parallel
with the table, then tighten the bolts (1).
NOTE: See page 15 for table of loose
parts ITEM: R.
!
WARNING
Before using the saw each time,
check the following:
1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.
2. The blade bevel lock knob
is tightened.
3. If ripping, make sure the fence is
locked into position and is parallel
to the miter gauge groove.
4. The blade guard is in place and
working properly.
5. Safety glasses are worn.

1. Release the extension cam locking
levers (3).
2. Slide the extension (4) out until the
correct measurement is displayed
on the tube scale. The user sights
the scale off the edge of the table.
3. Tighten all extension cam locking
levers (3).
The failure to adhere to these
common safety rules, and those
printed in the front of this manual,
can greatly increase the likelihood
of injury.
42
RIPPING (FIG. XX, YY)
!
To make an additional push stick, use
the pattern on page 56. (Fig. ZZ)
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.
● The workpiece must have a
straight edge against the fence
and must not be warped, twisted,
or bowed when ripping.
1. Remove the miter gauge and store
it in the “storage” compartment in
the base of the saw.
2. Secure the rip fence to the table.
3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in.
higher than the top of the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the table
and against the fence. Keep the
workpiece away from the blade.
5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the
blade to come to full speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the
blade by pushing forward only on
the workpiece section (1) that will
pass between the blade and the
fence. (Fig. XX)
7. Keep your thumbs off the table top.
When both of your thumbs touch
the front edge of the table (2), finish
the cut with a push stick (3).
WARNING
!
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing
forward on the section of the
workpiece that passes between the
blade and the fence. Never perform
any freehand operations.

the rear of the table. (Fig. XX)
43
FEATHERBOARD (FIG. ZZ, aa)
A featherboard is a device used to
help control the workpiece by guiding
it securely against the table or fence.
Featherboards are especially useful
when ripping small workpieces and for
completing non-through cuts.
The end is angled with a number of
short kerfs to give a friction hold on the
workpiece and locked in place on the
table with C-clamps. Test that it can
resist kickback.
9. Never pull the piece back when the
blade is turning. Turn the switch Off.
When the blade completely stops,
you can then remove the workpiece.
WARNING
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 assembly (7) on
each side of the riving knife and slide
the workpiece out. (Fig. YY)
!
Place the featherboard against the
uncut portion of the workpiece to
avoid kickback that could cause
serious personal injury.
BEVEL RIPPING
This cut is the same as ripping except
the blade bevel angle is set to an angle
other than 0°.
MAKE A FEATHERBOARD (FIG. ZZ)
Select a solid piece of lumber
approximately 3/4 in. thick, 4 in. wide
and 18 in. long. To make a featherboard,
cut one end of the lumber at 60 degrees,
then cut 8 in. long slots 1/4 in. apart on
the angled end as shown in Fig. ZZ.

MAINTENANCE
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING
MECHANISM (FIG. mm, nn)
After every five hours of operation,
the blade raising mechanism and
tilting mechanism should be checked
for looseness, binding, or any other
abnormalities.
1. With the saw disconnected from the
power source, turn the saw upside
down and pull up and push down on
the motor unit.
2. Observe any movement of the
motor mounting mechanism.
3. Loosen or tighten the four hex
screws (1) by hex wrench for smooth
operation. Adjust only 1/8 turn at a
time. (Fig. mm)
NOTE: Do not adjust the screw
more than 1/2 turn in total as this
may damage the mechanism.
MAINTAINING YOUR TABLE SAW
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
! WARNING
For your own safety, turn the switch
OFF and remove the switch key.
Remove the plug from the power
source outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your saw.
1. Clean out all sawdust that has
accumulated inside the saw cabinet
and the motor.
2. Polish the saw table with an
automotive wax to keep it clean
and to make it easier to slide the
workpiece.
3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and
gum remover.
4. A worn, cut, or damaged power cord
should be replaced immediately.
!
Fig. mm
WARNING
All electrical or mechanical repairs
should be attempted only by a
trained repair technician. Contact
customer service for assistance. Use
only identical replacement parts. Any
other parts may create a hazard.
1
5. Use liquid dishwashing detergent
and water to clean all plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals
can damage plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of cleaning chemicals or
solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia.
1
4. Place a small amount of dry
lubricant on the bevel gear (2). The
worm gear (3) must be kept clean
and free of sawdust, gum, pitch,
and other contaminants for smooth
operations. (Fig. nn)

Fig. nn
The carbon brushes included with the
unit will last approximately 50 hours
of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF
cycles. Replace both carbon brushes
when either has less than 1/4 in. length
of carbon remaining, or if the spring or
wire is damaged or burned.
2
3
1. Remove the blade guard, blade,
rip fence, miter gauge and stand
assembly from the table saw.
2. Lower the blade height to its
minimum setting. This will make the
brush locations easier to access.
3. Place cardboard or an old blanket
on the floor to protect the saw table
surface.
4. Place the saw upside down on the
protective material.
5. Tilt the blade elevation/tilting
handwheel (1) to the 45° position.
(Fig. oo)
6. Remove the black plastic cap (2)
from the side of the motor (3).
NOTE: If excessive looseness
is observed in any part of the
blade raising mechanism or tilting
mechanism, take the complete unit to
a Service Center.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory and require no
additional lubrication. On all mechanical
parts of your table saw where a pivot
or threaded rod are present, lubricate
using graphite or silicone. These dry
lubricants will not hold sawdust as
would oil or grease.

REPLACING THE CARBON
BRUSHES (FIG. oo, pp)
!
WARNING
Always disconnect the plug from
the power source before inspecting
the brushes.
1
52
2
7. Carefully remove the spring-loaded
cap, and then pull out the brush (4)
and replace. (Fig. pp)
8. Repeat step 6 and 7 for the other
side of motor.
9. Place the new brush into the
opening of motor, making sure the
ears on the metal end of the
assembly go in the same hole the
carbon part fits into. Do not
overtighten the plastic cap.
10.Carefully set the saw in a upright
position on a clean level surface.
11. Replace the blade guard, blade,
rip fence, miter gauge and stand
assembly to the table saw.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes,
first make sure the brushes go back in
the same sides they came out.
This will avoid a break-in period that
reduces motor performance and
increases wear.
