that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
21. The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbet-
ting or grooving.
22. Replace table insert when worn.
23. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is run-
ning. Disconnect tool before making any adjust-
ments.
24. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces to
keep your hands and fingers well away from the
blade.
25. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
26. Pay particular attention to instructions for reduc-
ing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of the work-
piece from the tool back towards the operator.
KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping the blade
sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the
blade, by keeping the riving knife and blade guard
in place and operating properly, by not releasing
the workpiece until you have pushed it all the way
past the blade, and by not ripping a workpiece that
is twisted or warped or does not have a straight
edge to guide along the fence.
27. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge.
28. NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER
reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has com-
pletely stopped.
29. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as pos-
sible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not bend
or twist workpiece while feeding. If you stall or jam
the blade in the workpiece, turn the tool off imme-
diately. Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.
30. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade or
touch the blade guard while the blade is running.
31. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
32. Don't abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
water and sharp edges.
33. Some dust created from operation contains chem-
icals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based-painted material and,
- arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
- Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-
ing on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles.
34. Connect the tool to a dust-collecting device when
sawing.
35. The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup
and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that
guard hood is down and flat against sawtable
before plugging in the tool.

INSTALLATION
Positioning table saw (Fig. 1 – 3)
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you
can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw should
be secured with four screws or bolts to the work bench or
table saw stand using the holes provided in the bottom of
the table saw. When securing the table saw on the work
bench, make sure that there is an opening in the top of the
work bench the same size as the opening in the bottom of
the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table saw
to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table saw
stand should be secured to the floor.
Storing accessories (Fig. 4 & 5)
The miter gauge, blade and wrenches can be stored on
the left side of the base and the rip fence can be stored at
the right side of the base. The blade guard to be removed
in dado cutting can be stored at the right hand rear.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 6)
The depth of cut may be adjusted by turning the handle.
Turn the handle clockwise to raise the blade or counter-
clockwise to lower it.
NOTE:
• Use a shallow depth setting when cutting thin materials
in order to obtain a cleaner cut.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 7)
Loosen the lock lever counterclockwise and turn the
handwheel until the desired angle (0° – 45°) is obtained.
The bevel angle is indicated by the arrow pointer.
After obtaining the desired angle, tighten the lock lever
clockwise to secure the adjustment.
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the bevel angle, be sure to tighten the
lock lever securely.
