14.
DO NOT
use near or around children.
15.
ENSURE
that the machine sits firmly on the floor
before using. If the machine wobbles or is unstable,
correct the problem by using shims or blocks prior to
operation.
16.
KEEP
saw blade sharp and clean. Failure to do so
greatly increases friction, decreases cut quality, and
increases the possibility of a kickback.
17.
MAKE CERTAIN
the saw blade is parallel with the
miter slots and with the rip fence. A blade that is not
aligned parallel can cause the workpiece to be
pinched between the blade and the fence causing
burning or kickbacks.
18.
ALWAYS
use blade guard on all through cuts. This
will help prevent the cut from closing on the back of
the saw blade. The blade guard also has anti-
kickback fingers which minimize the chance of a
workpiece being thrown back during a cutting
operation.
19.
ALWAYS
push the workpiece past the blade.
NOT
release a workpiece until it is past the blade
and removed from the saw.
20.
DO NOT
execute a cut when you do not have
complete control of the situation.
21.
DO NOT
cut a workpiece that is too large for you to
safely handle. Use an outfeed table or workstand to
properly support the piece.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, follow all
electrical and safety codes, including the National
Electric Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety
and Health Regulations (OSHA). All electrical
connections and wiring should be made by qualified
personnel only.
This manual is written for four specific models,
Model No 35903,35904,35911 and 35912. Please
follow the specific requirements for your model saw.
MODEL NO 35903, 35911
The switch provided with your saw is a dual voltage
capable switch, meaning it is designed to function at
either 120 or 240 volts. The switch and saw comes
pre-wired
for 120 volt operation. If you decide to convert
the saw to 240V, you will have to replace the 120 volt
plug on the switch with a UL/CSA Listed plug, suitable
for 240 volts. The table saw with a 240 volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the same configu-

DO NOT
use the rip fence as a guide when
crosscutting.
23.
BE MINDFUL
of flaws in the wood. Cutting a warped
or twisted board along the rip fence can get pinched
between the fence and the blade, causing a
kickback.
24.
ALWAYS
remove cut off pieces and scraps from the
table before starting the saw.
25.
NEVER
start the machine with the workpiece
against the blade.
26.
NEVER
perform freehand operations. Use either the
fence or miter gauge to position and guide the
workpiece through the blade.

workpieces.
28.
NEVER
have any part of your body in line with the
path of the saw blade. If a kickback occurs with you
directly in front of the blade, a serious injury can
occur.

NEVER
attempt to free a stalled blade without first
turning the machine off and disconnecting the saw
from the power source.

DO NOT
reach over or behind a rotating saw blade.

The switch provided with your saw is a magnetic switch
designed for 240 volt single phase usage only. The
switch has a plug that is designed to plug into a 240 volt
outlet. There are many different configurations for 240
volt outlets, so it is conceivable that the configuration of
the plug may not match the configuration of your
existing outlet. If this is the case, you will have to
replace the plug with a UL/CSA approved plug that
matches the configuration of your 240V outlet.
