length stop when cross cutting with the miter gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback. d) When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm.

standing in front and in line with the saw blade. b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade. c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade.
d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite. e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over. f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR WOODWORKING Anti-Kickback Pawls A cutting operation made with the miter gage at any angle other than 0˚ Toothed safety devices behind the blade designed to stop a workpiece from being kicked back at the Molding operator during a ripping operation. A non-through cut that gives a varied shape to the workpiece and requires a special blade.
Worktable The surface on which the workpiece rests while performing a cutting operation.

OVERVIEW The upper position of the blade projects up through the table,surrounded by an insert called the thruplate. The height of the blade is set with a hand wheel on the front of the cabinet. To accommodate wide panels,the tabletop has extensions on each side. Detailed instructions are provided in the Operation section of this manual for the basic cuts:Cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts.

RIP FENCE HANDLE – The handle on the front of the rip fence releases the rip fence or locks it in place. RIVING KNIFE OR SPREADER – Located directly behind the blade, it keeps cut edges from binding and supports the blade guard. SCALE –...
OPERATION OVERVIEW To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following: 1. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suitable for cutting. 2. Adjusts blade tilt, if necessary, to correct angle for desired cut. 3. Adjusts blade height no more than 1⁄ "...
ASSEMBLE AND ADJUSTMENTS ASSEMBLE THE RAISING AND TILTING HANDWHEELS AND LOCK KNOBS Place the wheels in position over the raising and tilting screws being sure to engage the slots, a (Fig.3), in back of each wheel with the roll pins, b(Fig.3), as shown at right. Screw on lock knobs c(Fig.4), to hold wheels in place, then attach silver handles, d(Fig.4) tightening them with the supplied 12mm combination wrench.
ASSEMBLE AND ADJUSTMENTS CHECK HEELING (PARALLELING) MARKED TOOTH OF THE SAWBLADE TO THE MARKED TOOTH MITER GAGE GROOVE AT FRONT MITER GAGE GROOVE See Figures 7 and 8. DO NOT loosens any screws until you have checked with a square and made sure adjustments are necessary.
ASSEMBLE AND ADJUSTMENTS CHECKING SQUARENESS OF EXTENSION TABLES SAW TABLE See Figure 9 and 10. The extension wing should be checked for squatness to the saw table for smooth operation of the rip fence and rails. Place a square on the saw table, with the short end up and check .The long end of the square should extend across one of the extension wing.
ASSEMBLE AND ADJUSTMENTS CHANGING THE SAW BLADE. Attention: left hand thread. Remove the arbor nut (J) and flange (I). Place saw blade on arbor shaft making sure teeth point down at the front of the saw. Reinstall flange and arbor nut and securely tighten. Remove the locking pin (K).

4. Put down the guards(N) as Fig.20 and lock the handle(M), then fix the handle(M) as Fig.21. Fig.20 Fig.21 Check the 45 setting. Tilt the blade with the bevel hand wheel as far as it will go to the left. Place the square against the blade (be sure the square is not against one of the saw teeth).
DUST COLLECTING TUBE SIZE AND INSTALLATION POSITION The dust collecting hole is located at the rear of the frame and is 4 inches in size. It must be locked and not detached during installation. After the machine has been used, remove the dust collecting tube, clean the wood chips in the dust collecting hole, and keep it clean.
KICKBACKS Kickbacks can cause serious injury. A kickback occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence, or other fixed object, rises from the table and is thrown toward the operator. The risk of kickback can be minimized by attention to the following instructions. HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACKS AND PROTECT YOURSELF FROM POSSIBLE INJURY: Be certain that the rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
CUTTING AIDS AND ACCESSORIES PUSH STICK In order to operate your table saw safely, you must use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would otherwise cause your hands to be within 6-inches (152mm) of the saw blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.

13. Do not push or hold onto the free or cut-off side of the workpiece. 14. Continue pushing the workpiece until it is clear of the blade. Do not overload the motor by forcing the workpiece into the blade. 15. When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a complete stop before removing workpiece from table.
Page 31
Turn saw on. Let blade build up to full speed before moving workpiece into the blade. 10. Hand closest to blade should be placed on miter gauge lock knob and hand farthest from blade should hold workpiece firmly against the miter gauge face. Do not push or hold onto the free or cut-off side of the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE △ WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before cleaning or servicing, before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting and when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury KEEP MACHINE CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air.
