The blade guard assembly includes a spreader
which is a metal device directly behind and
above the blade. It is used to help keep the
cut wood from binding together and causing
possible kickback. It is very important to use
the spreader for all through-sawing opera-
tions. The anti-kickback pawls (also a part of
the blade guard assembly) are toothed plates
mounted on the spreader. Their teeth point
away from the work in case the work should
be thrown or pulled back toward the opera-
tor. Then the teeth dig into the wood to help
prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.
Anti-kickback pawls - Kickback is a hazard in
which the workpiece is thrown back toward
the operator. The toothed pawls are designed
to snag the workpiece to prevent or reduce in-
jury should kickback occur.
Bevel scale - The easy-to-read scale on the front
of the cabinet shows the exact blade angle.
Features
Blade - This saw comes with a 10 in, 24-tooth
blade. The blade is adjusted with the blade
adjusting handle on the front of the cabinet.
Bevel angles are locked with a bevel locking
lever below the front rail.
WARNING: Do not use blades rated less
than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this
warning could result in personal injury.
Blade adjusting handle - Use this handle to set
the angle of the blade for bevel cuts and to
lower or raise the blade for adjustments. This
handle is located on the front of the cabinet.
Blade guard - Always keep the guard down
over the blade for through-sawing cuts.
Bevel locking lever - This lever, placed just un-
der the worktable surface on the front of the
cabinet, locks the angle setting of the blade.
Be sure the lever is unlocked before tilting
the blade. If it is not unlocked, it may jam and
bend the locking bolt.
Miter gauge: This miter gauge aligns the wood
for a cross cut. The easy-to-read indicator
shows the exact angle for a miter cut.
Miter gauge grooves - The miter gauge rides in
these grooves on either side of the blade.
Rip fence: A metal fence guides the workpiece
and is secured with a locking lever. When the
E N G L I S H •
locking lever is in the locked position, it cannot
be unlocked until the trigger lock is pulled.
Scale: Found on the front of the saw table, the
easy-to-read scale provides precise measure-
ments in rip cuts.
Spreader: A metal piece, slightly thinner than
the saw blade, which helps keep the kerf open
and prevent kickback.
Switch assembly: The saw has an easy access
power switch located below the front rail. The
switch key must be inserted into the switch
before the saw can be operated. To lock the
switch in the OFF position, remove the switch
key from the switch. Place the key in a location
that is inaccessible to children and others not
qualified to use the tool.
Blades
For maximum performance, it is recommended
that you use the 10 in., 24-tooth blade pro-
vided with your saw. Additional blade styles of
the same high quality are available for specific
operations such as ripping. Your local dealer
can provide you with complete information.
WARNING: Do not use blades rated less
than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this
warning could result in personal injury.
WARNING: To prevent possible electrical
hazards, have a qualified electrician check the
line if you are not certain that it is properly
wired.
Power switch
Your table saw is equipped with a power switch
that has a built-in locking feature. This feature
is intended to prevent unauthorized and pos-
sible hazardous use by children and others.
To turn your saw on:
• With the switch key inserted into the switch,
lift the switch button to turn ON.
To turn your saw off:
• Press the switch button down to turn OFF.
To lock your saw:
• With the saw turned OFF, pull the switch key
from the switch and store in a safe, secure lo-
cation.
WARNING: In the event of a power failure
or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch
OFF and remove the switch key. This action
will prevent the tool from accidentally starting
when power returns.
