General Operating Instructions

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY INCLUDING HAND AMPUTATION:
Do not operate without Table securely in place. Do not disassemble Table
while plugged in, or leave saw unattended without table top in place.
1. DANGER! Before starting the table saw,
check that the blade, table, and guard
align properly and that the blade will not
contact the table during operation.
2. DANGER! Tighten table firmly
into place before use.
3. Make sure that the Switch
is in the off-position, then plug in the tool.
4. Lift the Guard and slide the Fence Guide
out far enough to allow the workpiece to be
laid flat on the Table. The angled side of
the Fence Guide should face the blade
to prevent accidental contact. The Fence
Guide rail must fit into the slot on the Table.
5. Lower the Guard onto the workpiece.
Do not remove the Guard or
attempt to operate this tool
without either Guard in place.
6. Tighten the Guard's Wing Nuts after
every adjustment. Loose Wing Nuts may
result in injury or damage to the tool.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
7. Flip the Power Switch on.
8. Using the Fence Guide to hold the
workpiece steady, gently feed the
workpiece toward the Blade. Keep fingers
away from the Blade at all times.
WARNING! If the workpiece is small, use
another small piece of wood or other material
to push workpiece toward the Blade.
Note: Do not push forcefully against the Blade, or
use materials that are particularly difficult to cut.
If the Blade slows down, you are pushing
too forcefully, or the material is too
hard or thick for this tool to cut.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool
and disconnect the tool from its power
supply after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children's reach.
