ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1.

Wear eye protection.

2.

Don’t use the tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3.

Never use the tool with an abrasive cut-off wheel installed.

4.

Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.

5.

Clean the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface) and hex nut before installing the blade. Poor installation may cause vibration/ wobbling or slippage of the blade.

6.

Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing operations. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. Never use the tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.

7.

Do not cut metals such as nails and screws.

Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign matter from the workpiece before operation.

8. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from the table before the switch is turned on.

9. Never wear gloves during operation.

10. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade. Do not stand or permit anyone else to stand in line with the path of the saw blade.

11. Make sure the blade is not contacting the spreader or workpiece before the switch is turned on.

12. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

13. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks should be used for ripping narrow workpieces to keep your hands and fingers well away from the blade.

14. Pay particular attention to instructions for reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is the ejection of the workpiece from the tool back towards the operator. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the spreader, antikickback fingers and blade guard in place and operating properly, by not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

15. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece.

16. Never reach around or over saw blade.

17. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.

18. Never remove cut-off pieces near the blade or touch the blade guard while the blade is running.

19. Don’t abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.

• Check the arbor hole diameter of the blade before installing the blade. Always use the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade you intend to use.

Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer flange with the offset wrench 13-22 and loosen the hex nut with the wrench 19. Then remove the outer flange. (Fig. 1)

Assemble the inner flange, ring, saw blade, outer flange and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of the blade are pointing down at the front of the table. Always install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the outer flange. (Fig. 2)

To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with the offset wrench 13-22, then tighten the hex nut with the wrench 19. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT SECURELY. (Fig. 3)

Installing blade guard

CAUTION:

Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth of cut to its maximum elevation.

Insert the spreader between the blade guard mounting portion (stay) and the pressure plate.

(Fig. 4)

Tighten the hex bolts (A) with the offset wrench 13-22.

The spreader installing location is factory-adjusted so that the blade and spreader will be in a straight line. However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex bolts

(B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion (stay) so that the spreader is aligned directly behind the blade.

Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to secure the stay. (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

• Always grasp the striped portion of the offset wrench when tightening the hex bolts. If you tighten the hex bolts while grasping the offset wrench further than the striped portion, the hex bolts may be damaged and/or an injury to your hand may result.

• If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly, a dangerous pinching condition may result during operation. Make sure they are properly aligned.

There must be a clearance of 5 mm or less between the spreader and the blade teeth. Adjust the spreader accordingly and tighten the hex bolts (A) securely.

(Fig. 6)

Attach the table insert on the table, then check to see that the blade guard works smooth.

Positioning table saw

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 leaves enough room to easily handle the size of your workpieces.

The table saw should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an opening in the top of the work bench the same size as the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop through. If during operation there is any tendency for the table saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table saw stand should be secured to the floor.

NOTE:

Table saw stand Model 2702x1/2703x1 are standardequipped with a table saw stand. Leave more than

300 mm clearance between the table and a wall to allow chip ejection.

Storing accessory (Fig. 7 & 8)

The miter gauge and wrenches can be stored on the left side of the base and the rip fence can be stored at the rear of the base.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 9)

The depth of cut may be adjusted by turning the handle.

Turn the handle clockwise to raise the blade or counterclockwise to lower it.

Adjusting bevel angle (Fig. 10)

Loosen the lock lever and turn the handwheel until the desired angle (0° – 45°) is obtained. The bevel angle is indicated by the arrow pointer. After obtaining the desired angle, tighten the lock lever to secure the adjustment.

9

Adjusting positive stops

The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45° to the table surface. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:

Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it.

Place a triangular rule on the table and check to see if the blade is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. (Fig. 11)

If the blade is at an angle shown in Fig. 12-A, turn the adjusting screws clockwise; if it is at an angle shown in

Fig. 12-B, turn the adjusting screws counterclockwise to adjust the positive stops. (Fig. 12)

After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation. (Fig. 13)

Installing and adjusting rip fence

Raise the grip of the rip fence. Install the rip fence on the table so that the fence holder engages with the guide rail.

The rip fence can be secured by lowering the grip.

(Fig. 14)

To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade, secure the rip fence 2 – 3 mm from the blade.

Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.

These two measurements should be identical. (Fig. 15)

If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:

1.

Turn the adjusting nut counterclockwise a couple of turns. (Fig. 16)

2.

Loosen the two hex bolts on the rip fence with the wrench provided. (Fig. 17)

3.

Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with the blade.

4.

Lower the grip to secure the rip fence.

5.

Tighten the two hex bolts on the rip fence.

CAUTION:

• Always grasp the striped portion of the wrench when tightening the hex bolts. If you tighten the hex bolts while grasping the wrench further than the striped portion, the hex bolts may be damaged and/or an injury to your hand may result.

• Be sure to adjust the rip fence parallel with the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may occur.

6.

With the grip of the rip fence lowered, turn the adjusting nut clockwise to secure the rear end of the rip fence. Do not turn the adjusting nut clockwise excessively. You may have some difficulty adjusting the rip fence parallel with the saw blade when repositioning the rip fence.

Bring the rip fence up flush against the side of the blade.

Make sure that the arrow pointer on the fence holder points to the 0° graduation. If the arrow pointer does not point to the 0° graduation, loosen the screw on the scale plate and adjust the scale plate. (Fig. 18)

Switch action (Fig. 19 & 20)

To start the tool, depress the “ON” button. To stop the tool, depress the “OFF” button. When depressing the button, it is convenient to view it through the window area in the table.

Operation

CAUTION:

• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or fingers will come close to the blade.

• Always hold the workpiece firmly. Do not bend or twist it while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.

• Never withdraw the workpiece while the blade is running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.

• Never remove cut-off material while the blade is running.

• Never place your hands or fingers in the path of the saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel cuts.

• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous kickbacks may occur.

• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces, or when the blade is hidden from view while cutting.

Place the workpiece on the table. Switch the tool on without the blade making any contact. Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently feed the workpiece into the blade.

When cutting hard workpieces, feed them as slowly as possible. To get clean cuts, feed the workpiece straight and at a uniform speed.

CAUTION:

• Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Failure to do so may cause overload of the motor, resulting in malfunction of the tool.

• Always make sure that the blade guard operates properly to cover the blade before operation.

• When cutting thin workpieces, adjust the cut of depth a bit higher than the thickness of the workpiece to obtain a cleaner cut.

Crosscutting

CAUTION:

• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from the table.

• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support to the sides of the table. The support should be at the same height as the table.

Miter gauge (Fig. 21)

Use the miter gauge when cutting relatively wide workpieces at an angle.

Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table.

Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desired angle

(0° to 60°). Bring stock flush up against fence and feed gently forward into the blade.

CAUTION:

Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm workholding arrangement, especially when cutting at an angle.

(Fig. 22)

10

Ripping

CAUTION:

• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table.

• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support behind the table. The support should be at the same height as the table.

Switch the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the blade along with the rip fence. Always use a push stick when there is a danger that your hands or fingers will come close to the blade. (Fig. 23)

A facing should be used for operations when the blade comes close to the rip fence. Make a facing from wood board or plastic board. Fasten it to the rip fence with bolts and nuts or glue. (Fig. 24)

When the push stick strikes the blade guard because the space between the blade and the rip fence is too narrow, use an auxiliary fence and push block shown in Fig. 25.

Clamp the auxiliary fence to the rip fence in two locations. Gently feed the workpiece along the auxiliary fence. When your hand comes close to the blade, rest the push block on the auxiliary fence and feed through until cut is completed. (Fig. 26)

Table saw stand

NOTE:

The following is description only for the tools equipped with a table saw stand. For table saw stands as optional accessories, refer to the instruction manuals for table saw stands provided with them.

Place the stays on a level location and assemble the legs inside. Secure with the bolts and nuts, then attach the rubber caps to the ends of the legs. (Fig. 27)

Now set the table saw on top of the assembled stand and secure with four hex bolts, washers and hex nuts.

(Fig. 28)
