•
Clean the saw, blade guard, under the table insert, and any areas where saw dust or scrap
workpieces may gather.
•
Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
•
Always use the riving knife for every operation where it is allowed. The use of this device will greatly
reduce the risk of kickback.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY
PACK (Fig. 25)
•
To install the battery pack into the saw, align the
battery pack with the rails of the saw's battery
seat which is under the table and slide it into the
seat until the battery pack is firmly seated in the
seat and ensure that it does not disengage.
•
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press
the battery pack release button and slide the
battery pack completely out of the battery seat
(1).
NOTE:
This table saw only works when two battery packs are inserted. It will not start with only one battery pack, or if one of the two
is without power.
IMPORTANT:
Use only battery packs which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Always charge the two
batteries simultaneously.
The saw's operating time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two battery packs must always be fully charged
before use.
ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 26)
To turn saw on: Press the green button (1).
To turn saw off: Press the red paddle (2) (which
depresses the red OFF switch underneath).
CUTTING TIPS
Cutting aids such as push stick, push blocks and jigs
should be used where appropriate to maximize your
ability to control your workpiece for a safe and precise
cut. When ripping narrow workpiece, always use a
push stick, push block, and/or jig set-up so hands do not come within 6" (15 cm) of blade.
A push stick is included with your saw. A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws from the
underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts. Instructions for making cutting aids can be found in a later
section.
HOW TO MAKE A PUSH BLOCK
Push blocks are blocks used to securely hold down the workpiece against the table. They include some
gripping surface or handle to hold the block. Any screws running through the underside of the block to
fasten the handle should be recessed in order to avoid contact with the workpiece.
•
Select a piece of wood about 4" wide, 6" long and 1 to 2" thick (10 cm W, 15 cm L, and 2.5 to 5 cm
thick). A cutoff from a 2 x 4" (5 x 10 cm) makes a good blank for a push block.
•
Drill a hole in the block and glue in a dowel to use as a handle (you can angle the hole to provide a
more comfortable grip on the handle).
•
To finish off the block, glue a piece of sandpaper or some kind of rubber material (old mouse pads
work well) to the bottom of the block.

WARNING!
To avoid overheating the saw blade tips when cutting, the feed rate should not too high.
WARNING!
Before making any cuts, make sure that the table saw base is on a firm, level surface where there is plenty of
room to handle and properly support the table saw and the workpiece. If a suitable location can not be found,
then the saw should not be used.
WARNING!
Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making
these cuts to avoid possible injury.
WARNING!
1
Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls may not
always be effective.
WARNING!
2
NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious
injury.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered in this manual, and this tool is not permitted for making cuts for
other commercial purposes. Failure to heed this warning will result in serious personal injury.
