GLOSSARY OF TERMS

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS ASSEMBLY – Prevents the
workpiece from being kicked upward or back toward the front
of the table saw by the spinning blade.
ARBOR – The shaft on which the blade or dado is mounted.
BEVEL CUT – An angle cut made through the face of the
workpiece.
BLADE BEVEL SCALE – Measures the angle the blade is
tilted when set for a bevel cut.
BLADE ELEVATION/TILTING HANDWHEEL – Raises and
lowers the blade or tilts the blade to angle between 0º and
45º for bevel cuts.
BLADE GUARD – Clear plastic cover that positions itself
over the blade while cutting.
COMPOUND CUT – A simultaneous bevel and miter cut.
CROSSCUT – A cut made across the width of the workpiece.
DADO – Special cutting blades that are used to cut grooves
in a workpiece.
FEATHERBOARD – When ripping a workpiece on your table
saw, this keeps it firmly and safely against the rip fence. It
also helps prevent chatter, gouging, and dangerous kickback.
FREEHAND – Performing a cut without using a rip fence,
miter gauge, hold down or other proper device to prevent
the workpiece from twisting during the cutting operation.
GUM – A sticky sap from wood products.
HEEL – Misalignment of the blade.
JAMB NUT – Nut used to lock another nut in place on a
threaded rod or bolt.
KERF – The amount of material removed by the blade cut.
KICKBACK – Occurs when the saw blade binds in the cut
and violently thrusts the workpiece back toward the operator.
MITER CUT – An angle cut made across the width of the
workpiece.
MITER GAUGE – A guide used for crosscutting operations
that slides in the table top channels (grooves) located on
either side of the blade. It helps make accurate straight or
angle crosscuts.
NON-THROUGH SAWING – Refers to any cut that does not
completely cut through the workpiece.
OVERLOAD RESET SWITCH – Protects the motor if it
overloads during operation, provides a way to restart the
saw.
PUSH STICK – Used to push workpieces when performing
ripping operations.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING
For your safety, never connect plug to
power source receptacle until all assembly and
adjusment steps are complete, and you have read
and understood the safety instructions.
ASSEMBLING THE ROLLER WHEELS AND HANDLES TO
STAND (FIG. A, B, C)
1. Remove the bolts (2), washers (3) and nuts (4) from the
stand tube. Insert one leg handle (1) into one left stand
tube and align the holes on the handle and tube. Use two
bolts (2), two washers (3) and two nuts (4) to secure the
leg handle. (Fig. A)
PUSH BLOCK – Used for ripping operation when the
workpiece is too narrow to use a push stick. Always use a
push block for rip widths less than 2 in. (50.8 mm).
RESAWING – Flipping material to make a cut the saw is not
capable of making in one pass.
WARNING
Do not resaw material with this saw.
REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) – The number of turns
completed by a spinning object in one minute.
RIP FENCE – A guide used for rip cutting which allows the
workpiece to cut straight.
RIPPING – Cutting with the grain of the wood or along the
length of the workpiece.
RIVING KNIFE – A metal piece of the guard assembly located
behind and in-line with the blade. Slightly thinner than the saw
blade, it helps keep the kerf open and prevents kickback.
SAW BLADE PATH – The area of the workpiece or table top
directly in line with the travel of the blade or the part of the
workpiece that will be cut.
SET – The distance between two saw blade tips, bent
outward in opposite directions to each other. The further
apart the tips are, the greater the set.
TABLE INSERT – Insert that is removed from the table to
install / remove blades. When dado cutting, a dado insert
plate must be used.
THROUGH SAWING – Making a cut completely through the
length or width of a workpiece.
WORKPIECE – Material to be cut.

NOTE: Blade guard assembly is removed for purposes of
illustration only.
2. Tighten with a phillips screwdriver and 10 mm wrench.
3. Repeat steps 1 - 2 for assembling the other leg handle.
4. Attach one wheel (5) to the outer side of one right stand
leg using the hex bolt (6), the sleeve (7), two flat washers (8)
and the nut (9). (Fig. B)
NOTE: Verify that the side of the wheel that has the
concavities (10) is facing toward the stand as shown in
Fig. B.
