TO pREVENT ELEcTRIc SHOcK AND DEATH FROM INcORREcT

GROUNDING WIRE cONNEcTION READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUcTIONS:

110-120 VAc Grounded Tools: Tools with Three prong plugs

1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having 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.

2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green 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 equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.

4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Table Saw Safety Warnings

For your Own Safety Read Instruction

Manual Before Operating Saw

1. Wear eye protection.

2. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing.

3. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.

4. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.

5. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.

6. Do not perform any operation freehand.

7. Never reach around or over saw blade.

8. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all times while sawing. Use a roller stand (not provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.

9. To properly understand all safety warnings, be familiar with the following safety terms and equipment: a. Featherboard – A block with “fingers” that hold the workpiece against the fence while sawing.

b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of a board to the opposite side, without stopping.

c. Ripcut or Ripping - A cut made parallel to (along with) the grain of the wood.

d. Crosscut or Crosscutting -

A cut made perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to the grain of the wood.

e. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other soft material with a notch cut into one end and which is used to push short pieces of material through saws. It provides a safe distance between the hands and the cutting tool. Must be narrower than the cut width to prevent contact with the blade.

f. Freehand – Feeding a workpiece through the saw without using a fence or guided support to guide it.

NOT A SAFE METHOD.

g. Kerf – The gap made by the saw in the workpiece.

h. Kickback – A sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw toward the operator.

i. Spreader – A metal plate that follows the saw blade to keep the kerf (gap) from closing on the saw blade. Spreaders, except riving knives, must be aligned to the blade after blade adjustment to prevent binding.

j. Riving Knife – A spreader mounted on the same mechanism as the blade.

Generally more effective than simple spreaders.

Item 63118

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.

10. As noted previously,

Kickback

is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw toward the operator.

Kickback is usually a result of tool misuse and can be limited or avoided by following the precautions below:

• Fence must be completely parallel to the saw blade.

• Workpiece must be free from flaws

(such as loose knots) and from foreign objects (such as nails and screws).

• Support large workpieces along their entire length. Large workpieces tend to bend, grabbing the blade.

11. Do not use a dull, pitch-covered, or damaged blade.

• Do not use fence as a guide when crosscutting.

• Do not ripcut a twisted or warped workpiece, or workpiece without straight edge to guide along fence.

12. Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not allow the workpiece to rest against the moving blade without holding onto it.

• If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, turn off the power switch and hold the workpiece still until the blade stops. Correct the cause of blade binding before proceeding.

• Before continuing an unfinished cut, center the blade in the pre-cut kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece before turning on the saw.

• Push the wood stock past the blade prior to release.

13. Check guards for proper operation with saw disconnected from power before each use.

Do not disable any guard. Do not operate saw if any movable guard does not move freely and close instantly. Make sure any movable guard does not touch the blade in all angles, depths of cut, and positions.

14. Keep the guard in place while through-sawing.

Verify that the spreader lines up with the blade to prevent binding.

15. Construct an appropriate Push Stick out of wood according to the guidelines on the following page.

16.

DO NOT OpERATE WITH ANy GUARD

DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving guards must move freely and close instantly.

17. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.

Page 5

18. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

19. Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.

20. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

21. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

22. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

23. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.

These carry important safety information.

If unreadable or missing, contact

Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

24. Avoid unintentional starting.

Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

25. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

26. 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 and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or 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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,

et seq.

)

27. WARNING: The cord of this product contains lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,

et seq.

)

28. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.

It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.

To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

2. When ripping, always use the Fence (194).

This improves the accuracy of the cut, and reduces the chance for Saw Blade binding.

Figure U

1. Adjust the Miter Gauge to the needed angle and place it in the right or left slot on the Table.

2. Hold the workpiece against the Miter Gauge, and slide them together to make the cut.

Clamp smaller pieces to a piece of scrap wood that can reach beyond the Miter Gauge and hold the scrap against the Gauge while making the cut. Keep the clamp clear of the Saw Blade.

Making a cut

1. After adjusting the width and/or angle of the cut, plug the Table Saw into a grounded 120V outlet.

2. Insert the Switch Key and turn the Switch on.

3. At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly on the Work Table

(and against the Fence, if used), and the right hand, with the aid of a Push-stick, pushes the workpiece toward the turning Saw Blade.

Keep both hands out of the path of the Saw Blade.

WARNING!

Throughout the cut, keep all body parts a safe distance from the spinning Blade.

4. After the cut is under way, use the Push Stick to continue guiding the workpiece forward.

Just before the cut is completed, move the left hand safely farther away from the workpiece and the Saw

Blade. Continue pushing the workpiece into the Saw

Blade with the Push Stick until the cut is complete.

5. Once the cut is complete, continue to maintain control of the workpiece. Turn the Switch off.

Then, wait until the Saw Blade completely stops rotating before removing the workpiece.

6. To prevent accidents, turn off the Table

Saw, remove the key and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the Saw indoors out of children’s reach.
