DUST COLLECTION It is recommended that you use a dust collector (not included) when using this machine. The minimum air flow requirement for this machine are listed below. The machine comes with a 2.5” dust port located on the side of the machine. The dust extraction equipment is to be switched on before commencing machining.
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green 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.
CONTROLS ON/OFF Switch: Starts and stops the motor. The switch can be disabled for safety by removing the lockout key. Align-A-Cut Marker: Used to align the cutting mark on the workpiece with the blade kerf. Blade Tilt Handwheel: Adjusts the blade angle from 0°-45°. Micro-Adjustment Knob: Adjusts the fence side-to-side in small increments.
INITIAL OPERATION WARNING: Before operating; make sure it is positioned firmly on a solid work surface. If it tips over on you, it could cause severe injury or death. Once the assembly is complete, run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation.
If the machine DOES start, immediately stop the machine. The switch disabling feature IS NOT working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Verify that the lockout key tabs have not broken off and remain in the paddle switch.
4. Adjusts the fence to the desired width of cut then locks it in place. 5. Checks the outfeed side of the machine for proper support and to make sure the workpiece can safely pass all the way through the blade without interference. 6.
Workpiece Inspection Some workpieces are not safe to cut on this machine or may need to be modified before they can be safely cut. Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following: Material Type: This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and some plastics.
BLADE SELECTION This section on blade selection is by no means comprehensive. Always follow the saw blade manufacturer's recommendations to ensure safe and efficient operation of your table saw. Ripping Blade Features Best for cutting with the grain 20-40 teeth ...
Laminate Blade Features Best for cutting plywood or veneer 40-80 teeth Triple chip tooth profile Very shallow gullet Thin Kerf Blade A blade with thinner kerf than a standard blade. Since the spreader/riving knife included with this table saw is sized for standard blades, thin kerf blades cannot be used on this saw unless they meet the Blade Requirements specified in this manual;...
BLADE INSTALLATION WARNING: Blades are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when working with or around the blade. Wear proper safety protection such as heavy gloves. WARNING: Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord from its power source when changing the saw blade. When replacing blades, check the thickness stamped onto the riving knife.
BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY The term "blade guard" refers to the assembly that consists of the clear shield, the spreader, and the anti- kickback pawls on each side of the spreader. Each of these components has important safety functions. Guard The clear shield reduces injury risk by providing a barrier around the blade that prevents accidental contact and contains flying wood chips.
Installing Blade Guard & Spreader 1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw! 2. Remove the table insert. 3. Insert the spreader into the bracket slot and tighten the lock knob to secure the spreader. 4. Tug upward on the top of the spreader to verify it is locked.
Anti-Kickback Pawls The anti-kickback pawls allow the workpiece to travel in only one direction. If the workpiece moves backwards, such as during a kickback, the pawls will dig into the workpiece to slow or stop it. To work properly, the pawls must freely return to their resting position with contact to the table surface after pivoting.
Installing Pawls 1. Loosen the knob on top of the spreader, and then remove the blade guard. 2. Slide the pin in the pawl block into the second groove from the front of the spreader. 3. Press the button on the pawl block, and then pivot the pawls down until they lock into place.
Page 42
To ensure that the riving knife works safely, it MUST be aligned with and correctly adjusted to the blade. Check and adjust the riving knife alignment as needed. Place a straightedge against the blade and the spreader. When properly aligned, the spreader/riving knife will be in the "alignment zone,"...
Finally, while it may be tempting to use the riving knife for through cutting operations, ALWAYS install the full blade guard and spreader for through cutting. The blade guard and spreader provide more protection from injury and risk reduction than the riving knife. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use the blade guard assembly instead of the riving knife for through cuts.
8. Turn the saw ON, and then slowly raise the blade to the maximum height that will be used during normal operations. 9. Turn the saw OFF, and lower the blade completely. 10. Remove the board and clamps. 11. Install the blade guard. See "Installing Blade Guard & Spreader". ALIGN-A-CUT The Align-A-Cut marker is an insert on the table top which allows the operator to mark lines which are in line with the kerf of the saw blade being used.
OPERATION Safety Precautions Before Operations The operation of power tools involves a certain amount of hazard for the operator. Before attempting regular work, we recommend you get the feel of operations using scrap lumber to check settings. Read entire instructions before you start to cut workpiece. Always pay attention to safety precautions to avoid personal injury.
Ripping Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board. The rip fence is used to position and guide the workstock. One edge of the workstock rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rest on the table. Since the workstock is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.
Page 47
WARNING: Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed ejection of stock from the table saw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator's hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback.
Miter Ripping Miter ripping is performed the same as ripping but with the saw blade set to an angle not perpendicular with the table surface. To tilt the blade to the left, anywhere between 0° and 45°. This is used most often when cutting bevels, compound miters or chamfers. After changing the bevel angle verify the alignment of the guard and splitter;...

WARNING: Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed ejection of stock from the table saw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator's hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback.
Miter Cross Cutting This operation is the same as cross cutting, except the miter gauge is set to an angle other than 0. After changing the blade angle, verify the alignment of the guard and splitter and verify that there is clearance with the saw blade.
Various combination of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8” to 13/16” for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion falls in the gullet of the outside blades.
Use a sequential process of making multiple, light cuts that get progressively deeper. The actual number of cuts used should be determined by workpiece hardness, total dado depth, and feed rate. In general, if you hear the motor slow down during the cut, you are cutting too deep or feeding too fast.
5. Set the saw up for the type of cut you need to make, depending on if it is a rip cut or crosscut. 6. Align the blade to cut one of the dado sides. 7. Reconnect the saw to the power source and turn the saw ON. Allow the blade to reach full speed, and then make the cut.
3. Adjust the fence and align the workpiece to perform the cutting operation. 4. Reconnect the saw to the power source and turn the saw ON. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood. ...
CUTTING TOOLS (OPTIONAL) Cutting tools such as push sticks (one included with the saw), push blocks, featherboard, crosscut sleds, etc. are extremely useful in providing additional safety as well as added accuracy to your cut. While these types of tools may be purchased, they are often the first projects to be completed when setting up shop.
ADJUSTMENT WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Before operation, the machine should be carefully adjusted for best performance. Adjusting the 45° & 90° Bevel Stops 1.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle Pointer The bevel pointer should read “0” when the blade is at 90° to the table. If not, with the blade set 90° vertical to the table, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw! 2.
Blade Height Adjustment CAUTION: To limit your exposure to the blade and maximize the effectiveness of the anti-kickback pawls (when using the riving style splitter & blade guard), never take more blade height than is required to complete the cut. When setting the blade height for through-cuts (cuts all the way through the thickness of a board) set the height of the blade to roughly 1/4"...
Miter Slot to Blade Parallelism The table saw will provide best results if the miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted parallel to the blade. If either of these is not exactly parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback will be increased.
Spreader or Riving Knife Alignment Checking Alignment The blade guard spreader and riving knife must be aligned with the blade when installed. If the spreader/riving knife is not aligned with the blade, then the workpiece will be forced sideways during the cut, which will increase the risk of kickback. To check the spreader/riving knife alignment: 1.
Adjusting Bent Spreader/Riving Knife 1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw! 2. Bend the spreader or riving knife by hand while installed, and then follow Steps 1-4 in Checking Alignment to determine if it is parallel with the blade and inside the "Alignment Zone".
Page 62
To adjust the parallelism to the blade: 1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw! 2. Loosen the two cap screws on the top front of the fence. 3. Unlock the fence; align the left side of the fence with the right edge of the miter slot, then lock the fence.
3. Flip your scrap piece of wood over, placing the side that was cut in Step 1 against the fence, and then make your cut. 4. Stop the saw and do not move the fence. 5. Measure the width of the freshly cut workpiece with a tape measure. The workpiece width should be exactly 12".
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis following proper safety precautions. This table saw requires very little maintenance other than minor lubrication and cleaning. The following sections detail what will need to be done to assure continued operation of your saw.
Cleaning Cleaning the saw is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. After cleaning, treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant. Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than a vacuum.
Lubrication The table saw has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing and the arbor assembly, they will not require any additional lubrication. Use a wire brush to clean off the worm gears and trunnions and apply a white lithium grease to keep them lubricated. It is essential to clean components before lubricating them because dust and chips build up on lubricated components and make them hard to move.
BELT TENSION & REPLACEMENT The belt stretches slightly as the saw is used. Most of the stretching will happen during the first 16 hours of use, but it may continue to gradually stretch with continued use and repeated tensioning. Tensioning Belt 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: Disconnect machine from the power source before attempting any troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution 1. Switch disabling key removed. 1. Install switch disabling key. 2. Motor connection wired incorrectly. 2. Wire motor correctly (refer to inside 3. Break or short in wiring; or loose junction box cover or manual).
