2 Safety Regulations
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing blade.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the “off” position before plugging in, turning on safety
disconnect or activating breakers.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from blade and moving parts and cutting surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and specific limitations.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Press firmly against table. Protect hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck
in the work.)
• Feed work into the blade only as recommended in “Operation.”.
WARNING! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.
STABILITY OF SAW
If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move during certain cutting operations, such as cutting extremely
heavy panels or long heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down. If you attach any kind of extensions over
24″wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either bolt the saw to the floor, as appropriate, or support the
outer end of the extension from the bench or floor, as appropriate.
LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the
saw blade.
KICKBACKS
A kickback occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or all of workpiece is thrown back violently toward
operator. Keep your face and body to one side of the saw blade, out of line with a possible kickback. Kickbacks
8
2 Safety Regulations
• If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, or has been damaged or broken (such as the motor switch,
electronic controls, other operating control, a safety device or power cord), cease operating immediately
until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
• Wear safety goggles that comply with the standard of your country and a face shield or dust mask if operation
is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
• Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back
at the operator at excessive speed. This can usually be avoided by keeping the guard and spreader in place
for all thru-sawing operations (sawing entirely thru work) and by removing all loose pieces from the table
with a long stick of wood immediately after they are cut off.
• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is removed for resawing, dadoing, or rabbeting, replace guard
as soon as that operation is completed.
• Never turn the saw ON before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and
related feed or support devices for the operation planned.
• Never place your face or body in line with the cutting tool.
• Never place your fingers or hands in path of saw blade or other cutting tool.
• For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a workpiece to which a push stick or push board is applied must
be square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick
or block does not cause the workpiece to come away from the fence, and possibly cause a kickback.
• During rip and rip-type cuts, workpiece must be held down on table and against fence with a push stick, push
block, or feather boards, as applicable (see following figures).
• Push stick: A safety device used to push the workpiece through a cutting operation. Used most often when
rip cutting thin workpieces.
• The push stick and push block examples shown below are useful for keeping hands and fingers away from
saw blade during ripping, rabbeting and dadoing. Apply downward pressure and push workpiece through
the cut and past the blades. Several other configurations may be suitable for safe operation. Feather boards
are used to keep the work in contact with the rip fence or table during the cutting operation. Use of feather
9
2 Safety Regulations
boards can help to prevent kickbacks and binding. Feather boards should be used for all “non thru-sawing”
operations.
• Never reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood
scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause fingers or hand to move into a saw blade or other cutting tool.
• Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
• Do not perform any operation freehand—always use either rip fence or miter gauge to position and guide
the work.
• Never use the rip fence when cross-cutting or the miter gauge when ripping. Do not use rip fence as a length
stop. Never hold onto or touch free-end of workpiece or a free-piece that is cut off, while power is ON and/
or saw blade is rotating.
• Shut the saw OFF and disconnect power source when removing the table insert, changing the cutting tool,
removing or replacing the blade guard, or making adjustments.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
• Plastic and composition materials (like hardboard) 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 setup and cutting procedures for ripping. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand,
in line with a potential kickback.
• If you stall or jam the saw blade in the workpiece, turn saw OFF and remove the workpiece from the saw
blade. Check to see if the saw blade is parallel to the miter gauge grooves and if the spreader is in proper
alignment with the saw blade. If ripping at the time, check to see if the rip fence is parallel with the saw
blade. Readjust as required.
• Do not remove small pieces of cutoff material that may become trapped inside the blade guard while the
saw is running. This could endanger your hands or cause kick-back. Turn saw OFF and wait until blade stops.
• Use extra care when ripping wood with twisted grain or wood that is twisted or bowed—it may rock on table
and pinch saw blade.
10
2 Safety Regulations
11
2 Safety Regulations
• Dull, gummy, improperly sharpened or set cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall saw, or kickback
at operator. Minimize potential injury by proper care and machine maintenance.
WARNING: Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning saw OFF.
• Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades), wire wheels or
buffing wheels.
• Crosscutting operations are worked more conveniently and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing
is attached to miter gauge using holes provided. However, facing must not interfere with proper functioning
of saw blade guard.
• Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates toward you when standing in normal operating position.
Also make sure the cutting tool, blade flange and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting tool as
low as possible for the operation being performed. Keep all guards in place whenever possible.
• Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for operating speed less than 4000 RPM. Never use a
cutting tool larger in diameter than diameter for which saw was designed. For greatest safety and efficiency
when ripping, use maximum diameter blade for which saw is designed, since under these conditions
spreader is nearest the blade.
• Adjust table inserts flush with table top. Never operate saw unless proper insert is installed.
• Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the saw. An accident and serious injury could result.
THINK SAFETY
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the saw is being used. Never
use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer
or wider than basic saw table, or to assist in feeding, supporting or pulling the workpiece.
Do not pull the workpiece through the saw blade—position your body at the infeed side of the guard; start and
complete the cut from that same side. This will require added table support for long or wide workpieces that
extend beyond the length or width of the saw table.
CAUTION: Follow safety instructions that appear on the front of your saw.

so it is just touching. Move same tooth to back of blade.
• Gauge this tooth with the dowel rod. If the tooth is in the same position, relative to the miter gauge slot, the
table is parallel with the blade. In short, the miter gauge slots must be parallel with the blade. This means
that when measuring distance between blade and miter gauge slot at the front and rear of the blade, the
distances will be equal.
NOTE: Be sure to measure the distance or make the test on the same tooth of the saw blade in both front
and rear positions.
• If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: Loosen and remove the six socket pan head screws and
the rear panel. Loosen the four socket head bolts on the trunnion and shift trunnions until a position is found
where the saw blade is parallel to the miter gauge slots.
NOTE: Saw blade should also be centered within its table insert opening.
• Tighten the four socket head bolts and lock washers very securely. This procedure will set the table and
blade in parallel position and prevent the trunnion from shifting.
NOTE: If you perform this adjustment, leave the back panel off to perform rear rail assembly as described
in the next section.

37
5 Operating Procedures
WARNING: For your own safety, always observe the following safety precautions.
• Never make any cut freehand (without using miter gauge or rip fence). Blade can bind in the cut and cause
a kick-back.
• Always lock miter gauge or rip fence securely when in use.
• Remove rip fence from the table when miter gauge is in use.
• Remove miter gauge from table when rip fence is in use.
38
5 Operating Procedures
• Make sure blade guard is installed for all “through sawing” operations. Through sawing operations are
those operations in which the saw blade cuts completely through thethickness of the wood. Replace guard
immediately after completion of resawing, rabbeting and dadoing. Frequently check action of anti-kickback
pawls by passing the workpiece alongside the spreader while saw is off. Pull the workpiece toward you. If
the pawls do not dig into the workpiece and hold it, the pawls must be sharpened. (See Maintenance section)
• Have blade extend approximately 1/8″above top of workpiece. Additional blade exposure increases hazard
potential.
• Do not stand directly in front of blade in case of a kick-back. Stand to either side of the blade.
• Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of the blade.
• If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn switch OFF and safety disconnect OFF before attempting to
free the blade.
• Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the work-piece through the cut, to support long or heavy work-
pieces, to remove small cut-off pieces of material or for any other reason.
• Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table. Remove them by pushing them off table with
a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the blade.
• Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may become trapped inside blade guard while saw is
on. This could endanger your hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw off. After blade has stopped turning, lift
guard and remove the piece.
• Always lower blade below the table level when machine is not in use.
MITER CUTTING
WARNING: Miter angles greater than 45° may force the blade guard assembly into the saw blade causing damage
to the blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting the motor, test the operation by feeding the
workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece
under the blade guard assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor.
WARNING: Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift the blade guard assembly properly. With the
power off, feed the workpiece slowly into the blade guard area and until the workpiece touches the blade. If the
blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not touching
the blade, before starting the motor.
This cut is performed with the miter gauge, and is used for cutting at an angle other than 90° square with the
edge of the workpiece.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
WARNING: When possible, use the right miter gauge slot when bevel crosscutting so that the blade tilts away
39
5 Operating Procedures
RIPPING
WARNING: When bevel ripping and whenever possible, place the fence on the side of the blade so that the
blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep hands clear of the blade and use a push stick to feed the
workpiece if there is less than 6″between the fence and the blade.
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to cut the workpiece lengthwise with the grain. Position the
fence to the desired width of rip and lock in place. When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a work
support.
BEVEL RIPPING
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade
guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each
change of bevel angle.
WARNING: When possible, place the fence on the right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the
fence and hands. Keep your hands clear of the blade and use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there is less
than 6″between the fence and the blade.
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is the same as ripping, except that the blade is set at an angle other
than 90°.
RESAWING
This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to rip a workpiece through its thickness rather than across
its flat width. Do not attempt to resaw bowed or warped material.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove blade guard and use work supports as well as push blocks when performing
this operation.
WARNING: Install blade guard immediately upon completion of resawing operation.

This cut is performed with the rip fence, and is used to make a groove lengthwise with the grain of the workpiece.
Use proper hold downs and feed devices.
RABBETING
This cut is performed with either the miter gauge or rip fence. Rabbeting is used to cut out a section of the corner
40
5 Operating Procedures
of a workpiece, across an end or along an edge. To make a rabbet requires cuts which do not go all the way
through the material. Therefore, blade guard must be removed. Install blade guard immediately upon completion
of rabbeting operation. Rabbet cuts can also be made using dado head.
DADOING
This cut is performed with either the miter gauge or rip fence. Dadoing is done with a set of blades (dado set)
rather than standard saw blades. The dado set is used to groove wood similar to ploughing and rabbeting.
However, the dado set allows operator to remove more material in one pass. The operator, with a dado set, can
vary width of cut up to 13⁄16″.
Instructions for operating dado set are contained in owner’s manual furnished with dado set. Dadoing requires
cuts which do not go all the way through material. Therefore, blade guard must be removed. Dado sets have
different characteristics than saw blades. As a result, saw must be fitted with special parts that are furnished
with saw.
When using a dado set, the following parts must be substituted dado table insert (not included).
IMPORTANT: Always use correct insert. When using the dado set, use caution. Use feather boards and push
sticks as applicable.
WARNING: Always immediately replace the standard blade, blade guard and blade insert when you are finished
dadoing.
FREEHAND
Freehand is a very dangerous operation of making a cut with-out using the miter gauge or rip fence. Freehand
cuts must never be performed on a Table Saw.
DUST COLLECTING
• Saw is fitted with a 4″male exhaust port.
• Before starting saw, see that all adjustments are properly made and guards in place. With power disconnected,
turn pulley by hand to make sure everything is correct before connecting power and starting saw.
•
BLADE SELECTION
Blade selection is based on type of material being cut and how it will be cut. There are three general types of saw
blades: rip saw blades cut with grain of wood, cut-off saw blades cut across grain, and combination saw blades
cut with grain, across grain and any angle to grain.
Blades vary in many aspects. When selecting a blade, the following blade characteristics should match up with
operation to be performed and type of material to be cut: type of steel; quality of steel; tooth style; tooth set;

Warning! Risk of injury: improper maintenance can cause serious injury or damage. For this reason, this
work may only be carried out by authorised, trained personnel who are familiar with how to operate the
machine and in strict observance of all safety instructions.
• Before beginning any maintenance work on the machine, switch it off and secure it against accidentally
being switched on again.
• Ensure that there is sufficient space to work around the machine.
• Keep the work area orderly and clean. Components and tools that are not put in their correct place or put
away may be the cause of accidents!
Warning! Danger – Do not attempt under any circumstances, to service, repair, dismantle, or disassemble
any mechanical or electrical components without physically disconnecting all power sources.
6.2 Cleaning
• Clean off any preservative on bright (machined ) parts with appropriate solvent (mineral spirits). Avoid
getting cleaning fluid on any rubber parts as they tend to deteriorate rubber.
• Use soap and soft water on rubber and plastic parts.
• After cleaning, lubricate unpainted surfaces with a light application of medium consistency machine oil.
This lubrication should be repeated at least once every six months.
NOTE: Instead of oil, a good quality paste wax can be applied to rip fence and table surface. Paste wax will
enhance movement of workpieces. In addition to providing lubrication, paste wax will help prevent rusting.
• Keep your machine and your workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to accumulate on saw or inside cabinet.
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust that may accumulate within cabinet.
• Be certain motor and internal mechanisms are clean and are frequently vacuumed or blown free of any dirt.
6.3 Lubrication
All bearings on the arbor are shielded ball bearings. These bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory.
• As needed, clean the grease off the rack and worm gears of height and tilt mechanism. Lubricate rack and
gears with a medium viscosity machine oil.
• Be sure to lubricate trunnion ways and all bushings.
• Occasionally oil all other bearing points, including blade guard assembly, miter gauge and rip fence.
6.4 Service
• Replace belts and worn parts as needed. If power cords are worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have them

replaced immediately.
• Make sure teeth of anti-kickback pawls are always sharp.
• Sharpen dull teeth using a few light strokes of a smooth cut flat file.
