all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS  KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.  GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENT- ING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclo- sures.  KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.  REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.  KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation.  DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit.  KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visi- tors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while operating.  MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter keys.  DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.  USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not intended.  USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result- ing in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.  DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.  ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact- resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.  SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.  DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instruc- tions for lubricating and changing accessories.  DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.  AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.  USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may risk injury.  NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.  CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.  USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of blade or cutter only.  NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.  PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.  PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.  DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.  USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved ground connection that are intended for use outdoors and so marked.  ALWAYS KEEP THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER (SPLITTER) IN PLACE and in working order.  KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, AND WITH SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.  KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath GENERAL SAFETY RULES

work or around or over the blade while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.  BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.  NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.  INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If dam- aged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. 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 equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.  INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.  GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three- prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole elec- trical receptacle.  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.  USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.  DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  FIRMLY BOLT THE SAW TO A WORK BENCH OR LEG STAND at approximately hip height.  NEVER OPERATE THE SAW ON THE FLOOR.  GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.  USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.  SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support large panels.  REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES before transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in an accident causing possible serious personal injury.  ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, SPREADER, AND ANTI- KICKBACK PAWLS on all “through-sawing” operations. use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.  STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.  DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.  USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).  BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST- MENTS ARE SECURE.  BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.  NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use.  NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING COM- PONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.  DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.  WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.  USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.  DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is tight and not making contact with saw or workpiece before connecting to power supply. Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-kick- back pawls down, and the spreader in place over the blade.  ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against the rip fence or miter fence. NEVER use the rip fence during the same operation as the miter fence.  ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NARROW STOCK. A push stick is a device used to push a workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must always be narrower than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, so your hand does not come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts.

 NEVER perform any operation “freehand” which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the rip fence or miter fence to position and guide the work.  NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.  NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.  MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross cut- ting.  DO NOT USE THE MITER FENCE AND RIP FENCE during the same operation.  NEVER use rip fence as cutoff gauge when cross cutting.  NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power source.  PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long work pieces. Use a sturdy “outrigger” support if a table extension more than 24 inches long is attached to the saw.  AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by: a) Keeping blade sharp. b) Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade. c) Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard in place and operating. d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade using a push stick. e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.  IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk.  AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting tool.  USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instruc- tions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.  MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using the table saw.  ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply.  THIS TOOL should have the following markings: a) Wear eye protection. b) Use saw blade guard and spreader/riving knife for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing. c) Keep hands out of the line of saw blade. d) Use a push stick when required. e) Pay particular attention to instructions on reducing risk of kickback. f) Do not perform any operation freehand. g) Never reach around or over the saw blade.  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,000 RPM. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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 conduc- tor 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. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc- tor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with- out yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces- sary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. 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. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown. Fig. 1 EXTENSION CORDS Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground- ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used. **Ampere rating (on tool data plate) 0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0 Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.) 25' 16 16 16 16 14 14 50' 16 16 16 14 14 12 100' 16 16 14 12 10 — **Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit. NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters “WA” on the cord’s jacket. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply. GROUNDING PIN 120 V GROUNDED OUTLET

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always make sure the table saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved leg stand. NEVER operate the saw on the floor. MOUNTING HOLES This tool comes mounted to a leg stand. If you chose to remove the leg stand, the table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw’s base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not in- cluded). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating. TO INSTALL THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY See Figure 6.  Hold the nylon nut securely and turn the screw counter- clockwise to remove the nut completely. NOTE: Do not remove the screw from the handle or the washer from the end of the screw.  Place the nylon nut into the recessed hole on the back of the height/bevel adjusting handwheel and hold in place.  Slide the handle, screw, and washer into the hole on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.  Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise and tighten in place.

LEG STAND See Figure 7. To open (set-up) the leg stand:  Step 1: With the saw table on end and standing to the side, use your left hand to pull the leg stand latch towards you.  Step 2: Once the leg stand is released from the table saw base, ease the legs of the stand down.  Steps 3 and 4: Grasp the upper leg support below the saw cabinet. Keeping your left hand clear of the leg stand, pull the leg stand up until it locks into place.  Step 5: With your left hand firmly on the table tilt handle, grasp the leg stand with your right hand.  Steps 6 and 7: Push the leg stand towards the ground with your right hand and pull in the same direction with your left hand until the table saw is in an upright position. To close (tear down) the leg stand:  Steps 1 and 2: Standing to the side of the table saw, grasp the table tilt handle with your left hand. Tilt the table saw to your left and grab the leg just below the leveling foot.  Step 3: Lower the saw to the floor until it is balanced on end.  Step 4: Using your left hand, release the leg stand latch.  Steps 5 and 6: Once the leg stand is released from the table saw base, ease the legs of the leg stand toward the floor.  Step 7: Lift the lower leg of the leg stand until it locks in place. TO SECURE/LEVEL THE SAW With the leg stand open and the table saw resting on a flat, level surface, the saw should not move or rock from side to side. If the saw rocks from side to side, the leveling foot needs adjusting until the leg stand is balanced.  Turning clockwise will lower the foot.  Turning counterclockwise will raise the foot. Fig. 7 SET-UP TEAR DOWN

See Figures 8 - 9. The table saw has two convenient storage areas (one on either side of the saw cabinet) specifically designed for the saw’s accessories. When not in use, store the accessories securely by snapping each accessory in place. TO MOVE THE LEG STAND See Figure 10.  Holding the leg stand firmly, pull the leg stand toward you until the leg stand and saw are balanced on the wheels.  Push the saw to the desired location then either open the leg stand for immediate saw operation or store the saw in a dry environment. TO REMOVE/REPLACE THE THROAT PLATE See Figure 11.  Lower the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.  Loosen the screws in the throat plate.  Lift the throat plate from the saw.  To reinstall the throat plate, align the holes in the throat plate with the holes in the saw table.  Retighten the screws, being careful not to overtighten, which can cause the throat plate to bow or bend. Fig. 10 Fig. 11 SAW TABLE THROAT PLATE SCREW

See Figure 12. CAUTION: To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point down toward the front of the saw. Failure to do so could cause damage to the saw blade, the saw, or the workpiece. NOTE: Arbor shaft has left hand threads.  Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.  Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed to the left. Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise. To loosen the blade:  Using the smaller blade wrench, place the flat open end on the flats on the arbor shaft.  Insert the closed end of the larger blade wrench over the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the larger wrench forward to the front of the machine. To tighten the blade:  Using the smaller blade wrench, place the flat open end into the flats on the arbor shaft.  Insert the closed end of the larger blade wrench over the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, push the larger wrench to the back of the machine. Make sure the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten. Check all clearances for free blade rotation. See To Set the Blade at 0˚ and 45˚ in the Adjustment section. In cutting operations, the scale will be set to the side of the blade where the cut will be measured and made. TO INSTALL MITER FENCE See Figure 13.  Remove the miter fence from the miter fence storage on the side of the saw cabinet.  To install the miter fence to the sliding miter table, loosen the lock knob so the bolt has enough clearance to slide into the table slot.  Mount the miter fence to the miter table by installing the locator pin (below the miter fence) into holes “A” or “B”. At the same time, place the attachment bolt in the slot.  Properly adjust the miter indicator to the scale on the end of the fence opposite the locator pin.  Retighten the lock knob.

See Figure 14. Proper installation of the blade guard assembly means that the saw blade and spreader are in alignment. ALWAYS align the spreader to the saw blade prior to turning on the table saw.  Lower the blade.  Install the blade guard assembly to the mounting plate using the wing nut. Partially retighten the wing nut. Check the blade and spreader alignment. NOTE: Blade alignment with the spreader can be adjusted for different blade widths. Refer to: To Check, and Align the Spreader, Saw Blade, and Blade Guard Assembly in the Adjustment section. Check the blade guard assembly for clearances and free movement.  Tighten wing nut securely. TO INSTALL DUST BAG See Figure 15.  Slide the elbow inside the dust chute on the back of the table saw.  Slide the dust bag into the elbow. NOTE: For efficient operation, empty the dust bag before it is half full. This will permit better air flow through the bag. OPERATION WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suffi- cient to inflict severe injury. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes causing possible serious injury.

the blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8 in. to 1/4 in.  Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never saw into a loose knot or nail.  Always use the rip fence when rip cutting and the miter fence when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting the wood in the cut.  Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.  To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly before beginning a cut.  When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.  Do not cut wet or warped lumber.  Always hold your workpiece firmly with both hands or with push sticks. Keep your body in a balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.  Use the right type of blade for the cut being made. CUTTING AIDS See Figure 16. Push sticks are devices used for safely pushing a workpiece through the blade. They can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood and used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90˚ notch in one end and shaping for a grip on the other end. A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws from the underside. Use it on non-through cuts. CAUTION: Be sure the screws in a push block are recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workpiece. OPERATION WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Although many of the illustrations in this manual are shown with the blade guard removed for clarity, do not operate the saw without the blade guard unless specifi- cally instructed to do so. APPLICATIONS You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:  Straight line cutting operations such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, and compound cutting  Dado or molding cuts with optional accessories  Cabinet making and woodworking NOTE: This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood composition products only. BASIC OPERATION OF THE TABLE SAW The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded according to all local codes and ordinances. Improper connection of the equip- ment can result in electric shock. Do not modify the plug if it will not fit the outlet. Have the correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the Electrical section in this manual. CAUSES OF KICKBACK Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, kicking the workpiece back toward you with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and may contact the blade. Kickback can cause serious injury. Use precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood such as:  Making a cut with incorrect blade depth  Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece  Twisting the wood while making a cut  Failing to support work  Forcing a cut  Cutting warped or wet lumber  Using the wrong blade for the type of cut  Not following correct operating procedures  Misusing the saw  Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls  Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade

RIP CUT CROSS CUT MITER CUT COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT BEVEL CROSS CUT 1 TYPES OF CUTS See Figure 17. There are six basic cuts: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut, 3) the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel rip cut, and 6) the compound (bevel) miter cut. All other cuts are combina- tions of these basic six. Operating procedures for making each kind of cut are given later in this section. WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury. Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts made across the grain of the workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90° angle to the blade, and the blade is vertical. Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood. To avoid kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of the wood rides firmly against the rip fence. Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the blade other than 90°. The blade is vertical. Miter cuts tend to “creep” during cutting. This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the miter fence. WARNING: Always use a push stick with small pieces of wood, and also to finish the cut when ripping a long narrow piece of wood, to prevent your hands from getting close to the blade. Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are with the grain. Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an angled blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be thoroughly familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, and miter cuts before trying a compound miter cut. CUTTING TIPS Dado and rabbet cuts are non-through cuts which can be either rip cuts or cross cuts. Carefully read and understand all sections of this operator’s manual before attempting any operation. WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.  The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make allowance for the kerf when measuring wood. 2 6 4 5 3  Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the measuring line.  Cut the wood with the finish side up.  Knock out any loose knots with a hammer before making the cut.  Always provide proper support for the wood as it comes out of the saw.

OPERATION FEATHERBOARD 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 a C-clamp. Test to ensure it can resist kickback. WARNING: Place the featherboard against the uncut portion of the workpiece to avoid kickback that could cause serious personal injury. HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD See Figure 18. The featherboard is an excellent project for the saw. Select a solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in. thick, 3-5/8 in. wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the width to 30° and miter the other half of the same end to 45° (see page 30 for information on miter cuts). Mark the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. Drill a 3/8 in. hole at the 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks. Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 29. Set the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in. “finger” to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to the mark previously made at 6 in. Turn the saw OFF and allow the blade to com- pletely stop rotating before removing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced rips into the workpiece to allow approximately 1/4 in. fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between the fingers. HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD See Figure 19. Remove the lock knob, bolt, and washer from the miter fence holder. Place the bolt through one of the holes in the featherboard. Positioning the featherboard will depend on the placement of the bolt and the position of the sliding miter table on the rails. Place the washer on the bolt and attach the lock knob, loosely. Position the featherboard with the hex head of the bolt in the miter table slot but do not tighten. Completely lower the saw blade. Position the rip fence to the desired adjustment for the cut to be performed and lock. Place the workpiece against the fence and over the saw blade area. Adjust the featherboard to apply resistance to the workpiece just forward of the blade. Securely tighten the lock knob to secure the featherboard in place. Attach a C-clamp to further secure the featherboard to the edge of the sliding miter table. WARNING: Do not locate the featherboard to the rear of the workpiece. If positioned improperly, kickback can result from the featherboard pinching the workpiece and bind- ing the blade in the saw kerf. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

See Figure 20. The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top surface.  Push the bevel locking lever down for elevation mode.  Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise or lower it by turning the handwheel clockwise. TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL) See Figure 21.  Push the bevel locking lever up for angle mode.  To angle the blade, push the height/bevel adjusting hand- wheel into the cabinet, to engage bevel gear, and turn the handwheel until the bevel indicator shows the correct angle.  Push the bevel locking lever down to lock the angle, while holding the height/bevel adjusting handwheel in place. CHECKING SLIDING MITER TABLE AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO POSITION THE SLIDING MITER TABLE See Figures 22- 23. A slide bolt is located on the front of the saw between the saw table and the front scale. When the arrows on both the saw table and sliding table are aligned, this bolt slides through the holes in both tables locking them into a fixed position. The sliding table has three positions providing additional front support when working with larger workpieces. Always lock the sliding table when not in use. To unlock the sliding miter table:  Lift the tab on the slide bolt and move the bolt to the far right.  Lock the bolt into position by pushing the tab down and into the far right-hand notch. To lock the sliding miter table:  Lift the tab and slide the bolt through both tables.  Lock the bolt into position by pushing the tab down and into the notch. NOTE: When moving the miter base, keep hands and fingers out of areas where they may be pinched. Pull the miter base into position with fingers extended and using only your thumb as shown in figure 23.

See Figures 24 - 25.  Unplug the saw.  Set saw up as if you were preparing to make a cut. Tighten rail clamps, miter locking clamps, lock knob, etc.  Slide miter table (A) to the front of miter base (B) as far as it will go. Place a reference mark (C) near the end of the miter table as shown in figure 24. NOTE: Front of miter base is on infeed side of saw.  Place a reference mark on one of the blade teeth (D) and rotate the blade (E) so that the reference mark on the blade is at the front of the throat plate.  Place a framing square (G) against the blade and align with reference mark on miter table. Measure the distance between the blade and the edge of miter table. NOTE: Place framing square between carbide teeth and measure from blade. This step will insure framing square is square against blade from the front to back of blade.  Remove framing square and slide miter table to the rear of miter base as far as it will go.  Rotate the blade so the reference mark on the blade is at the rear of the throat plate. Measuring from the same mark on the blade at the rear will eliminate the effect of blade wobble.  Place framing square against the blade and align with the same reference mark on the miter table. Measure the distance between the blade and the edge of the miter table at the rear.  Compare whether the front and rear measurements are the same. If they are the same, proceed with checking the miter fence alignment. If not, this indicates the miter base needs aligning. Miter base must then be adjusted before checking miter fence alignment. See To Adjust the Miter Base section that follows. Fig. 24 A B C G D E

See Figure 26. Remember: Check all settings before loosening screws for the following procedures. Once screws have been loosened, these settings must be reset.  Unplug the saw.  Set the miter fence at 0˚ then securely tighten the lock knob.  Push the sliding miter table to the back and loosen the right-front screw from beneath the table saw cabinet.  Loosen the nylock nut beneath the front left eccentric screw.  Place one side of a framing square firmly against the miter fence and the other side against the saw blade.  Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the eccentric screw until the miter fence and the blade are square.  Hold the eccentric screw in place with the screwdriver and tighten the nylock nut securely.  Retighten the front right-hand screw. TO CHECK MITER FENCE ALIGNMENT See Figure 27. The miter fence must be perpendicular to the blade when set at zero degrees.  Set the miter fence (H) at 0°. Miter indicator (I) should be set precisely on 0° and secured in place with adjusting clamp (J). NOTE: The quick-stop is not necessary for this checking procedure. However, you may want to check and adjust it to 0° at this time. See the To Adjust Quick-Stop section that follows.  Place a framing square (G) firmly against the miter fence (H), with the other side against the blade (E).  Check whether the miter fence and blade are square with each other. With the framing square against the miter fence there should be no gap from the front to the rear of the blade.  If a gap exists, the miter fence may be out of square.  Rotate the blade and recheck. If there is a consistent gap between the front and rear of the blade, the miter table needs aligning. Follow the adjustment procedures that follow.

See Figure 28. The quick-stop is preset at the factory to stop the miter fence at exactly 0°. However, when sliding miter table adjustments are made, these adjustments may cause the quick-stop to need adjusting. Check quick-stop with miter scale set at 0°. If adjustments are needed, proceed with the following steps:  Loosen the eccentric screw holding the quick-stop.  Place the quick-stop against the miter fence with miter scale set at 0°.  Adjust eccentric screw until it holds quick-stop securely against miter fence.  Retighten hex nut, securing eccentric screw and quick- stop.  Check your work. If the quick-stop is not at zero degrees, repeat above steps. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation. TO SET THE RIP FENCE SCALE INDICATOR TO THE BLADE See Figure 29. Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).  Unplug the saw.  Loosen the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.  Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the blade tip edge.  Loosen the screw on the scale indicator and align with the 2 in. mark as shown.  Tighten the screw and check the dimension and the rip fence. TO USE THE RIP FENCE See Figure 30.  Place the rear lip on the rear of the saw table and pull slightly toward the front of the unit.  Lower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide surfaces on top of the front rail.  Push the locking lever down to automatically align and secure the fence. Check for a smooth gliding action. If adjustments are needed, see To Check the Alignment of the Rip Fence to the Blade in the Adjustment section of this manual.

See Figures 33 - 35. WARNING: The blade must be square so the wood does not bind resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Do not loosen any bolts for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjust- ments are necessary. Once the bolts are loosened, these items must be reset.  Unplug the saw.  Lift the blade guard. Raise the blade all the way by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel.  Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the blade. Place a framing square even with the front of the saw table and the side of the saw blade as shown in figure 33.  Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.  Move the framing square to the rear and again measure the distance. If the distances are the same, the blade is square. If the distances are different, square the blade with the following steps:  Extend the extension table, see page 27.  Loosen adjusting bolts (1) and (3). NOTE: The adjusting bolts are located above the height/ bevel adjusting handwheel and under the saw table in the front of the saw.  Turn adjusting bolt (2) left or right until the blade is square. NOTE: If the back of the blade was too far from the fram- ing square, place a block of wood on the left side of the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is square. Retighten the bolts. If the back of the blade was too close to the framing square, place a block of wood on the right side of the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is square. Retighten the bolts. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align the rip fence to the blade following any blade adjustments. Always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.

Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.  Advance the workpiece and the miter fence toward the blade. Keep the workpiece flush against the miter fence. Push the miter fence and workpiece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur.  When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.  After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff stock.

See Figure 44. Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel. WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid possible serious injury.  Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to the sides as needed.  Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or miter fence. If the panel is too large to use either the rip fence or the miter fence, it is too large for this saw. WARNING: Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter fence or rip fence), which can result in serious injury.  Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you turn on the saw. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the wood into the blade.  When the work is completed, press the switch off and remove the key. MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT See Figure 45. Non-through cuts can be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. NOTE: This is the only type cut that is made without the blade guard installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut. Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through or dado cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.  Unplug the saw.  Lower the blade.  Install the blade guard assembly to the mounting plate using the wing nut. Partially retighten the wing nut. Check the blade and spreader alignment.  Tighten wing nut securely.  Raise the blade to the correct height by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise. NOTE: Carefully check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to assure proper clearance before connecting saw to power source.  Plug in and turn on saw.  Feed the workpiece into the blade.  Always use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards when making non-through cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury. WARNING: When making a non-through cut, the cutter is covered by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of personal injury.  When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece. Fig. 44 LARGE PANEL CUT SUPPORTS HEIGHT ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL RIP FENCE

non-through cut such as rabbets or dadoes. To avoid personal injury, always use push blocks, push sticks, or featherboards.  Unplug the saw.  Lower the blade and remove the screw holding the throat plate in place. Remove the throat plate.  Raise the saw blade.  Push the bevel locking lever to the right. Rotate the height/ bevel adjusting handwheel until the bevel indicator shows a 30° angle. Push the bevel locking lever securely to the left while holding the height/bevel adjusting handwheel to lock the angle. Reinstall the blade guard assembly.  Retighten the nuts at the base of the spreader. Check spreader alignment to the blade and adjust shims if necessary.  Move the bevel locking lever to the right and rotate the blade back to 90°. Push the lever to the left to lock the angle.  Lower the blade, insert the throat plate, then securely tighten the throat plate screw. MAKING A DADO CUT See Figure 46. An optional dado throat plate (part number 0134010313) is required for this procedure. Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. This saw is designed for use with a 6 in. stack dado (up to width of 5/8 in.). Do not use an adjustable dado on this saw. NOTE: This saw cannot be used to make a bevel dado cut.  Unplug the saw.  Remove the blade guard assembly and the saw blade.  Mount the dado blade, using the blade and chippers appropriate for the desired width of cut.  Reinstall the arbor nut.  Make sure the arbor nut is fully engaged and the arbor extends at least one full thread past a securely tightened arbor nut.  When mounting dado blades, make sure both the inner blade washer and outer blade washer are used.  Install dado throat plate. WARNING: Always put all spacers in proper location when changing back to saw blade. Failure to do so may result in possible injury and damage to the tool.

unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can occur if hands come in contact with blade. The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good prac- tice is to check your setups carefully with a framing square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before making finish cuts in good workpieces. Do not start any adjustments until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed. TO REPLACE THE BLADE See Figures 47 - 49.  Unplug the saw.  Lower the saw blade, raise the blade guard, and remove the throat plate.  Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed down. Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise.  Using the smaller blade wrench, insert the flat open end into the flats on the arbor shaft.  Insert the closed end of the larger blade wrench over the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the larger wrench forward to the front of the machine. Make sure the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten. NOTE: Arbor shaft has left hand threads. Check all clearances for free blade rotation. See To Set the Blade at 0˚ and 45˚. In cutting operations, the scale will be set to the side of the blade where the cut will be measured and made. To replace the blade with an accessory blade, follow the instructions provided with the accessory. To install a standard blade:  Place the new blade on the arbor shaft (the teeth must point down toward the front of the saw to work properly).  Place the blade washer and the blade nut over the blade arbor. Be sure the dome side of the blade washer faces out from the blade and that all items are snug against the arbor housing. Tighten securely.  Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely.  Lower the saw blade and reinstall the throat plate. NOTE: Securely tighten throat plate screws. Do not allow the throat plate to bow up above the table surface. Fig. 48 BLADE BLADE NUT BLADE WASHER ARBOR SHAFT Fig. 49 THROAT PLATE BLADE SCREWS Fig. 47 LARGE BLADE WRENCH SMALL BLADE WRENCH

BLADE, AND BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY See Figure 50. If the blade guard assembly is out of alignment with the saw blade, adjust the alignment of the blade guard assembly. The spreader must be aligned with the saw blade. To check alignment of the spreader:  Unplug the saw.  Raise the saw blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.  Lift the anti-kickback pawls and place a framing square or straight edge against both the saw blade and the spreader.  The saw blade and spreader are aligned when the fram- ing square contacts both the blade and spreader evenly with no gaps. If the spreader and saw blade are not in alignment, adjustment is needed. To adjust:  Unplug the saw then raise the blade guard assembly.  Lift the anti-kickback pawls and place a framing square or straight edge against both the saw blade and the spreader.  From the back of the saw, loosen the two screws and reposition the blade guard assembly left or right as needed to align the spreader with the saw blade.  Once properly aligned, securely retighten the screws.  Recheck the marked blade tooth using the combination square to insure the adjustment has not moved. TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP FENCE TO THE BLADE See Figure 51.  Unplug the saw.  Raise the locking lever to permit the rip fence to be moved.  Place a framing square beside the blade and move the rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip scale.  Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180° to check the other side.  If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the two screws on the fence and align it.  Retighten the two screws.  Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process. WARNING: Before plugging the saw back in to make test cuts, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the blade guard is in place. Failure to do so can result in serious injury. BLADE SCREWS RIP FENCE LOCKING LEVER FRAMING SQUARE SCREW (2) FRAMING SQUARE Fig. 51 Fig. 50

See Figures 52 - 53. The angle settings of your saw have been set at the factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require set- ting during assembly. After extensive use, they may need to be checked.  Raise the blade and the blade guard.  If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°), loosen the adjust- ment bolt and the bevel locking lever.  Place a combination square beside the blade on the left. Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever down and retighten the adjustment bolt.  Turn the bevel handle until the bevel indicator points to zero. If the bevel handle is turned as far as possible and doesn't indicate zero properly, you may need to adjust the bevel indicator. NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the bevel handle to adjust the bevel indicator.  If the blade is not an exact 45°, loosen the adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.  Turn the bevel handle until the bottom of the blade has moved completely to the left side of the slot. Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever.  If the blade is not an exact 45°, loosen the 45° adjustment bolt and the bevel locking lever.  Adjust the bevel indicator to 45°.  Make a test cut. 0° ADJUSTMENT BOLT BLADE COMBINATION SQUARE BEVEL INDICATOR BEVEL HANDLE BEVEL LOCKING LEVER 45° Fig. 53 45° ADJUSTMENT BOLT BLADE COMBINATION SQUARE BEVEL INDICATOR BEVEL HANDLE BEVEL LOCKING LEVER Fig. 52
