CONNECTING TO A DUST COLLECTOR
• There is a 4" dust outlet A located on the rear of the
saw cabinet allowing for the connection to a dust col-
lection system (not included).
• Be sure to use appropriate size hose and fittings (not
included) and check that all connections are sealed
tightly to minimize airborne dust.
Note: If you have not purchased either model 50-300CE or 50-
305CE, make sure that the 2 1/2” branch on the dust outlet
B
is sealed with the supplied cap
C
.
• If you do not already own a dust collection system
consider contacting your General® International dis-
tributor for information on our complete line of dust col-
lection systems and accessories or visit our website at
www.general.ca
ALWAYS TURN ON THE DUST COLLECTOR BEFORE STARTING THE SAW AND ALWAYS STOP THE SAW BEFORE TURNING OFF THE
DUST COLLECTOR.

BE SURE THE SAW IS UNPLUGGED AND COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER INSTALLING OR
REMOVING A SAW BLADE!
NOTE: This saw is intended for use with 10" (254 mm) diameter or less saw blades having a center hole dia-
meter of 5/8". There are many types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as crosscuts
or ripping only, or for use with plywood, panelling and other products. A good quality specialty blade can
produce a finer finish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only saw blades designed for
operating speeds of 4300 RPM or higher. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store saw blades
by stacking them directly in contact with each other. Place a layer of cardboard or similar material between
the blades to keep them from coming into contact with each other.
INSTALL A SAW BLADE
1. Lift the table insert up A and loosen the lock lever B ,
