    Additional Safety Rules Tool Care DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions. AVOID GASEOUS AREAS Do not operate electric tools in gaseous or explosive at mospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.

NEVER gang crosscut — lining up more than one workpiece in front of the blade (stacked vertically or horizontally outward on the table) and then pushing thru saw blade.
  • Page 8: Electrical Requirements

    Electrical Requirements Double Insulated Tools Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities. IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
  • Page 9 IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

  • Page 12: Assembly And Adjustments

    Assembly and Adjustments WARNING! Prior to performing any assembly procedures, make sure the 10" table saw is disconnected from its electrical power source.

  • Page 13 Mounting Table Saw to Workbench (Figure 3 & 4) If table saw is to be used in a permanent location, it should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as a stand or workbench, using the four mounting holes, 1 (Figure 3) two of which are shown.
  • Page 14 Mounting to Plywood (Figure 5) An alternative method of securing your table saw is to fasten the saw base to a mounting board 24" x 24" minimum size to prevent saw from tipping while in use. Any good grade of plywood with a 3/4" minimum thickness is recommended.
  • Page 15 90° and 45° Positive Stops Adjustment (Figure 6, 7 & 8) Warning: To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the plug from power source before making any adjustments.

  • Page 20: Operation

    Operation Warning: For your own safety, always observe the following safety precautions. • Never make these cuts freehand (without using the miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.
  • Page 21 safety key removed, the switch will not operate. NOTE: If the safety key is removed while the saw is running, the saw can be turned OFF, but cannot be restarted without inserting the safety key. Overload Reset Switch (Figure 19) To prevent accidental startup if the overload reset switch is pushed, the ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF position, and the plug should be removed from the power source while cool down takes place.
  • Page 22 Repetitive Cutting (Figure 21) REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of pieces the same length without having to mark each piece (Figure 21). When making repetitive cuts from a long work piece, make sure it is supported. Warning: Never use the rip fence as a length stop because the cutoff piece could bind between the fence and the blade causing a kickback.
  • Page 23 Bevel Crosscutting (Figure 23) BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting except that the wood is also cut at an angle … other than 90° with the flat side of the wood (Figure 23). Adjust the blade to the desired angle and lock it. Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the blade.
