CAUTION
LOCKING
ON/OFF
SWITCH
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
1.
table saw. The table saw comes pre-wired for 120-volt
use. The circuit should not be less than #14 AWG wire
and should be protected with a 15-amp time lag fuse.
2.
• Have a qualified electrician repair or replace damaged
or worn cord immediately.
• Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
certain the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure
that the electric current is of the same characteristics
3.
as the motor nameplate. All line connections should
make good contact.
• Running on low voltage or long extension cords will
damage the motor.
When the table saw is not in use, the "ON" button
should be locked so that it cannot be started.
Using the padlock included with your table saw, lift
the red "OFF" paddle and place the padlock
through the holes (C) in the side of the "ON" button
and then lock the padlock.
Make sure keys have
been removed from padlock and placed where no
children can get them. See figure 14-1.
To use the table saw, unlock and remove the
padlock from the "ON" button.

PROTECTION
• DO NOT expose the table saw to rain or operate the
in damp locations.
• MAKE SURE all parts have been assembled correct-

The ON/OFF switch is located under the front rail
on the table saw.
To turn the table saw on, press the green "ON"
button (A) in one-half inch. Note: There is a safety
feature on the switch to insure that the switch must
be completely pressed before the saw will START.
See figure 14-1.
To turn the table saw off, press the large red "OFF"
paddle (B) or lift the paddle and press directly on
the red "OFF" button.
See figure 14-1.
• Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the power
cord from its power source prior to doing or perform-
ing any maintenance.
• Make certain that the "OFF" button has been de-
pressed before pushing the thermal-overload
reset
button.
The motor supplied with your table saw has a resettable
thermal-overload
relay (D), see figure 14-1. If the motor
shuts off during an operation (cutting a workpiece too
fast or using a dull blade, using the saw beyond its
capacity, or low voltage) press the "OFF" button and let
the motor cool three to five minutes.
Push the reset
thermal-overload
button on the side of the ON/OFF
switch assembly. Make certain that the saw blade and
work area has been cleared of debris before restarting
saw. The motor can now be turned on again.
