i_, WARNING: For your own safety read instruction manual before operating table saw.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
Double lnsulatien
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insu-
lation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool
is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern
for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operat-
ing this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a pos-
sible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair
or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quafified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Important Safety Instructions
, KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in 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 injuries.
, DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area weft lighted.
, KEEP CHILDREN A WAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
, MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
, DON'TFORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
, USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
, USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. IVonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and
should also be avoided.
, AL WAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask ff cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have 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 it 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 best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
, DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
, REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
, USERECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES. Consulttheinstructionmanualforrecommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
, NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur ff the tool is tipped or ff 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 should be properly repaired or replaced.
, DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
, NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
, REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Additiena# Safety Ru#es for Tab#e Saw
,_, WARNING: For your own safety, do not operate your saw until it is completely assembled
and installed according to the instructions and until you have read and understood the following:
* All Safety Rules * Adjustment Procedures
* Assembly Procedures * Basic Operations
* Operating Controls
• KEEP GUARDS in place and in working order.
• STABILITY. Make sure table saw is firmly mounted before use.
• MINIMIZE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL. Most accidents are caused by failure to follow setup
and operating instructions.
• AVOID awkward handpositions, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into a
saw blade or other cutting tool. Never reach in back of, or around, the cutting tool with
either hand to hold down the workpiece. DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HANDS IN THE
PATH OF THE SAW BLADE.
• NEVER reach under your machine when operating or make any adjustments when it is
running.
• SHUT OFF the saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, chang-
ing the cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade guard, or making adjustments.
• AL WAYS maintain control of the workpiece. DO NOT let go of the workpiece until it is well
clear of the cutting tool
• WHEN REMOVING short workpieces, or cleaning up around the table, be sure the saw is
in the OFF position and blade has stopped turning.
• 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.
• WHEN changing saw location, disconnect power.
• USE extra caution when the guard assembly is removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting,
or molding. Replace the guard as soon as that operation is completed.
