WARNING! Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions
and the warning labels.
SAW BLADE SAFETY
1. Always wear protective gloves when handling saw
blades.
2. Only use blades with correct size and type for both
your table saw and your workpiece.
• The rated diameter of the saw blade is 8.25 inches
with a 5/8 inch arbor.
• The no-load speed of the table saw is 4500 RPM.
The maximum permissible speed of your saw blade
should always be higher than the no-load rotational
speed of the saw.
3. Never use damaged or deformed saw blades. Only
use sharp blades.
4. Install the saw blade in the correct orientation indi-
cated in the instructions.
5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Never use your
hands to remove sawdust, chips or workpiece near the
saw blade or the cutting path of the saw.
6. Never reach around saw blade or reach in back of the
saw blade.
7. Do not use blades made from high-speed steel, abra-
sive blades, metal-cutting blades or masonry-cutting
blades. The guards of this saw are not designed to pro-
tect against the failure of such blades.
8. The use of accessories or attachments not recom-
mended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of per-
sonal injury.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR YOUR TABLE SAW
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Operate in a well ventilated area. Keep the floor area
around the table saw level and free of slippery sub-
stances or other tripping hazards.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles to protect your
eyes from sparks and sawdust. Use hearing protection
to protect yourself from hearing loss.
3. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to pacemakers could cause pacemaker inter-
ference or pacemaker failure.
4. Wear work gloves when handling saw blades. DO
NOT wear gloves while operating the saw.
5. Sawdust is harmful to your health. Use NIOSH-ap-
proved dust masks or other respiratory protection dur-
ing operation and cleaning.
6. Always turn off and unplug the table saw before mak-
ing any adjustments or repair tasks. Never adjust the
table saw or the workpiece while the saw is running.
7. Never use damaged or incorrect blade flanges or bolt.
The blade flanges and bolt were specially designed for
your saw, for optimum performance and safety of op-
eration.
8. Do not use to cut metal, logs, tree limbs, or uneven
lumber. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and
other embedded objects prior to starting work.
9. Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pres-
sure treated lumber all have an increased potential for
kickback and should only be cut with a blade specifically
designed for that lumber type. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever
cutting pressure treated lumber.
