12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in
line with the path of the saw blade.
13. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
spreader or workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let the tool
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
15. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is run-
ning. Disconnect tool before making any adjust-
ments.
16. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces to
keep your hands and fingers well away from the
blade.
17. Pay particular attention to instructions for reduc-
ing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of the
workpiece from the tool back towards the opera-
tor. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PER-
SONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping
the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel
to the blade, by keeping the spreader, antikick-
back pawls and blade guard in place and operat-
ing properly, by not releasing the workpiece until
you have pushed it all the way past the blade,
and by not ripping a workpiece that is twisted or
warped or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the fence.
18. Do not perform any operation freehand. Free-
hand means using your hands to support or
guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or
miter gauge.
19. NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER
reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has
completely stopped.
20. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not
bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you
stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the
tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear
the jam.
21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade or
touch the blade guard while the blade is running.
22. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
23. Don’t abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
water and sharp edges.
24. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
25. The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup
and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that
guard hood is down and flat against sawtable
before plugging in the tool.

INSTALLATION
Positioning table saw
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you
can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw should
be secured with four screws or bolts to the work bench or
table saw stand using the holes provided in the bottom of
the table saw. When securing the table saw on the work
bench, make sure that there is an opening in the top of
the work bench the same size as the opening in the bot-
tom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
