OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your saw is supplied with overload protection. If the motor
shuts off or fails to start due o overloading (cutting stock too
fast, using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its capacity,
etc.) or low voltage, let the motor cool three to five minutes.
Then depress the red reset button (B), reset button (B), on the
motor under the saw, shown in Figure 27, and restart the saw.
MAKING CUTS
Failure to comply with the following the
warnings may result in serious personal
injury.
•
Never touch the free end of the workpiece or a free piece
that is cut off, while the power is on and/or the saw blade
is rotating. Blade contact or binding may occur, resulting in
a thrown workpiece
•
When sawing a long workpiece or a panel, use a work
support, such as a sawhorse, rollers or outfeed table at the
same height as the table surface of the saw.
•
Never try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning.
If you need to pull the workpiece back or lift it off the
table, turn the switch off, allow the blade to stop, raise
the anti-kickback teeth on each side of the riving knife if
necessary, and slide the workpiece out.
•
Always make sure the blade guard (A) and anti-kickback
pawls (B) are in place and working properly when making
these cuts to avoid possible injury.
•
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
•
To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is
securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge during any
miter cut.

OPERATION
NOTICE: If the motor continually shuts off due to overloading,
contact a qualified electrician.
•
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 beveling angle.
•
A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations
to prevent loss of control and personal injury. Always lock
the fence to the rail. NEVER perform a ripping operation
freehand.
•
When making bevel cuts, place the fence on the right 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 unless the workpiece is large
enough to allow you to hold it more than 6inches (152 mm)
from the blade.
•
Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power
switch, or take other appropriate measures to prevent
unauthorized use of the saw.
•
Do not attempt compound miter cuts, with blade beveled
and miter fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar
with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.
•
Avoid bevel rip cuts with majority of material on left side of
blade.
