• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work piece to be thrown out at high speed. • Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. • Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work piece. WARNING: USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. - Page 6 Long work pieces need extra support on the out-feed side. • Unplug saw from power source before making adjustments, repairs, maintenance or storing. Accidental start up can cause serious personal injury. • Do not turn on the table saw before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the work piece and related feed or supporting devices • Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses with side shields, unless otherwise specified, everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance, they are not safety glasses, use only approved certified safety equipment; eye protection should comply with ANSI z87.1 standards, protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards. • Protect your lungs. Wear face or dust mask. Following this rule will reduce the risk of personal injury. • Tie back long hair and roll long sleeves above the elbow. Do NOT wear loose fitting gloves, loose clothing, jewelry and other items which can be caught in rotating parts and cause serious personal injury. • Always use blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback pawls on all through cutting operations. The guard system is designed to reduce the intensity of kickback and keep your hands away from the spinning blade. 10" Table Saw Operator’s Manual GTS10SB...
- Page 7 • Always secure the work piece against rip fence or miter gauge. • Always use push stick for ripping narrow stock so your hand does not come close to the saw blade Use a push block or feather board for non-through cuts • Never cut freehand, which means using only your hands to support or guide the work piece. Always use rip fence or miter gauge to position and guide the work • Stand to the side of the blade and work piece. NEVER stand or hand any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. • Never reach behind blade when the saw blade is rotating. • Move rip fence out of the way when cross cutting. NEVER use rip fence as a cut off gauge when cross cutting • Keep saw blade clean and sharp. A Dull and sticky blade will increase the risk of binding in the work piece. • Feed the work piece through AGAINST the rotation of the blade. Feeding material from the back of the saw invites an accident and can cause serious injury. Use support for the sides and back of the saw table when cutting •...
- Page 8 GLOSSARY OF WOOD-WOKING TERMS Work Piece-- A piece of wood on which the cutting operation is being performed.

7. Always use clean, sharp, properly-set blades, Never make a cut with dull blade. 8. When making a cut, use steady, Even pressure, Never force a cut. 9. Do NOT cut wet or warped lumber. 10. Always hold your work piece firmly with both hands or use push stick or push block. Cross Cutting WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is properly installed to avoid serious personal injury. 1. Remove the rip fence from the table surface. 2. Position Miter Gauge to 0°. 3. Make sure all loose pieces have been removed from the table surface and work piece is not in contact with blade. 4. Turn ON/OFF switch to the ON position. 5. Position the work piece flat on the table with edge flush against miter gauge fence. Wait until blade reaches full speed before feeding the work piece into the blade. 6. Use two hands to slowly feed the work piece and miter gauge toward the blade. Use the hand furthest from the blade to keep the work piece flush against miter gauge fence and use your other hand to push the miter gauge and work piece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of the blade to reduce the risk of injury should kickback occur. 7. Continue feeding the work piece into the blade until the cut has been completed. 8. Once the cut has been completed, pull the work piece back toward you. 10" Table Saw Operator’s Manual GTS10SB... - Page 19 9. Turn the switch off. 10. After blade has stopped completely, remove the cut off piece. Rip Cutting (FIG 21) WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is properly installed to avoid serious personal injury. 1. Remove the Miter Gauge from the table. 2. Place the rip fence on the desired distance from the blade. Remember to allow for the kerf. 3. Make sure all loose items have been removed from the FIG 21 table and that work piece is not contact with the blade 4. If work piece is larger than 36” long, place a support with the same height as table behind the saw for the cut work. 5. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON position. 6. Position the work piece flat on the table with edge flush against rip fence. Wait until blade reaches full speed before feeding the work piece into the blade. 7. Stand slightly to the side of blade to reduce the risk of injury caused should kickback occur. Using a push stick or push block, slowly feed the work piece toward the blade. 8. Once the work piece has made contact with the blade, use hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure the edge of the work piece keeps in solid contact with the rip fence and table surface. If ripping a piece narrower than 4”, use a push stick to move the piece through the cut. 9. Continue feeding the work piece into the blade until the cut has been completed. 10. Once the cut has been completed, grasp the work piece from the lead end and pull it off the table surface.
