OPERATION
BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
RAISING THE BLADE (FIG. JJ)
To raise or lower the blade, turn the blade elevation/tilting
handwheel (1) to the desired blade height.
TILTING THE BLADE (FIG. JJ)
Loosen the blade lock knob (2), move the handwheel (1) to
the desired angle, then tighten the blade lock knob (2).
ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. KK)
The ON/OFF switch has a safety switch key (1). With the key
removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by
children and others is minimized.
1. To turn the saw ON, insert the safety switch key (1) into
the slot in the switch (2). Move the switch upward to the
ON position.
2. To turn the saw OFF, press the switch downward.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the yellow
part of the safety switch key (1), and pull it out.
4. With the safety switch key removed, the switch will not
operate.
5. If the safety switch key is removed while the saw is
running, it can be turned OFF but cannot be restarted
without inserting the safety switch key (1).
WARNING
ALWAYS lock the switch "OFF" when
the saw is not in use. Remove the safety switch key
and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a power
failure, blown fuse, or tripped circuit breaker, turn
the switch "OFF" and remove the safety switch key,
preventing an accidental startup when power comes
on.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. KK)
This saw has an overload reset button (3) that resets the
motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage. If
the motor stops during operation, turn the ON/OFF switch to
the OFF position. Wait about five minutes for the motor to
cool, then push the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the
Fig. JJ
ON position.
WARNING
should be in the OFF position and the plug removed
from the power source while the cool down takes
place, to prevent accidental starting when the reset
button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by
misaligned parts or a dull blade or undersized
extensing cord. Inspect your saw for proper setup
before using it again.
USING THE DUST PORT (FIG. LL)
WARNING
remove sawdust from under the saw frequently.
To prevent sawdust buildup inside the saw housing, attach a
vacuum hose (1) (hose is not included) to the dust port (2) at
the rear of the table saw. DO NOT operate the saw with the
hose in place unless the vacuum is turned on.
USING THE TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. MM)
1. Release the extension cam locking levers (1) in the front
and rear table positions.
2. Slide the table extension (2)
out until the correct
measurement is displayed on
the tube scale (3). The user
sights the scale off the edge
of the table.
Fig. KK
3. Tighten all extension
cam locking levers (1).
CUTTING
OPERATIONS
There are two
basic types of
cuts: ripping and
crosscutting.
Ripping is
cutting along
the length and
the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. (It is not
safe to rip or crosscut by freehand). Ripping requires the use
of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
NEVER USE A RIP FENCE AND MITER GAUGE TOGETHER.
