operation must never be confined — it must be allowed to move away from saw blade to
prevent contact with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possibly injury.

WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the blade guard
assembly against the workpiece resulting in damage to saw and possible injury.

WARNING: When using a block as a cut-off gauge, the block must be at least 3/4" (19 mm)
thick and is very important that the rear end of the block be positioned so the workpiece
is clear of the block before it enters the blade to prevent contact with blade resulting in a
thrown workpiece and possibly injury.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the desired slot.
2. Adjust the blade height so that the blade is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) higher than the top of
the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge
the desired cut location. Keep the workpiece an inch or so in front of the blade. KEEP BOTH
HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE AND THE PATH OF THE BLADE (Fig. V).
4. Start the saw motor and allow the blade to come up to speed.
5. While using both hands to keep the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge, and
holding the workpiece flat against the table, slowly push the workpiece through the blade.
6. Never try to pull the workpiece with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the blade to
stop, and carefully slide the workpiece out.

WARNING: Never touch or hold onto the free or cut-off end of the workpiece.
Bevel Crosscutting
This operation is the same as crosscutting except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other
than 0°.

WARNING: Before connecting installing the battery pack 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 bevel angle.
Mitering (Fig. W)

WARNING: Miter angles greater than 45˚ may force the blade guard assembly into the saw
blade causing damage to the blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting
the motor, test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If
the blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard
assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor.

WARNING: Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift the blade guard
assembly properly. Feed the workpiece slowly to start the cut. If the blade guard assembly
contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly, not touching the
blade, before starting the motor.
This operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than
0°. Hold the workpiece FIRMLY against the miter gauge
the blade (to prevent the workpiece from moving).

Miter Gauge Operation
To set your miter gauge:
1. Loosen the miter gauge lock knob 59 .
2. Move the miter gauge to the desired angle.
3. Tighten the miter gauge lock knob.
Compound Mitering
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. Follow the instructions for both bevel
crosscutting and mitering.
Dust Collection (Fig. X)
This table saw is equipped with a dustshroud and dust collection port. For best results, connect a
vacuum to the port at the rear of the saw and on the guard using a Y connector. The Y connector
is available as an accessory at additional cost. Refer to Accessories.
NOTICE: Care should be taken to position hoses to not interfere with cutting operation.

WARNING: To prevent accidental start up, remove battery from the saw before cleaning out
dust collection system.
1. Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
2. Open the dust access door 60 shown by removing 2 wingscrews
door. Clean out the excess dust, and re-attach door, securing it with the wing screws.

Motor Overload and Power Loss Reset Switch
If power is interrupted by a dead battery or power is lost, the saw contains a power loss reset
switch feature that will automatically reset to OFF position.
Short battery life is often the result of a dull blade. Change your blade on a regular basis to
increase battery life.
Lubrication (Fig. X)
1. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and no additional lubrication
is needed.
2. The height adjustment screw may require periodic cleaning and lubrication. If you have
difficulty raising or lowering the blade:
a. Remove the battery from the saw.
b. Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
c. Clean and lubricate the height adjustment screw threads
with general purpose grease. Refer to Figure X.
STORAGE (FIG. Z)
1. Attach push stick to fence.

2. Depress the stem on the anti-kickback assembly
riving knife slot.
3. Position anti-kickback assembly into storage as shown. While depressing stem, slide the anti-
kickback assembly across the storage bracket
4. Remove blade guard assembly 11 . Refer to Installing/Removing the Blade Guard
Assembly and Riving Knife. Place blade guard assembly into holder as shown, then turn lock
1/4 turn to lock in place.
5. Slide closed end of blade wrenches 21
6. Insert guide bar of miter guage 10 into pocket until it bottoms out.
7. Non thru-sawing riving knife 23 slides in place on back side of guard storage clip.
8. To store fence 18 , snap work support in stored position. Remove fence from rails. Reattach
fence upside down on left side of saw. Pivot fence lock latches to secure.
