Lock Knob
Miter Gauge
3. Tighten Lock Knob by turning it clockwise.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Cut only the following materials:
dimensional lumber, plywood, particle board.
General Operating Instructions
Placement of Hands during Cutting Process
1. Review safety warnings at the beginning of the
manual before performing any cutting procedure.
Keep all guards in place and in working order.
2. Do not pass hands directly over the saw blade when
cutting the workpiece. Push the workpiece into the
saw blade using a push stick, push block or by
holding the workpiece against the miter gauge.
WARNING!
SAFE CUTTING PROCEDURES
VARY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CUT. TO
PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM KICKBACK:
Use Rip Fence for every Rip Cut
(cut along with the grain).
BUT
Do not use Fence for any crosscut
(cut against the grain).
Rip Cuts
1. Rip cuts are straight cuts made parallel
to (along with) the grain of the wood by
sliding the workpiece along the fence.
2.
For workpieces wider than 6″ hold the workpiece,
staying clear of the saw blade. For workpieces
2″ and 6″, use the included push stick or
make a push stick as described in the safety
section of this manual. Use a push block (not
included) when ripping widths under 2″.
3. When ripping, always use the Rip Fence.
This improves the accuracy of the cut, and
reduces the chance for saw blade binding.

Cut Line
1. Adjust the miter gauge to the needed
angle and place it in the left or right miter
gauge groove on the working table.
2. Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge,
and slide them together to make the cut. Clamp
smaller workpieces to a piece of scrap wood
that can reach beyond the miter gauge and hold
the scrap against the gauge while making the
cut. Keep the clamp clear of the saw blade.
Making a Cut
1. After adjusting the width and/or angle of the cut,
make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position and
plug the Table Saw into a grounded 120V outlet.
2. Insert the Switch Key and turn the Switch on.
WARNING!
Avoid bevel ripping on
bevelling side of the saw blade.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
3. At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the
workpiece firmly on the Work Table (and against the
Fence, if used), and the right hand, with the
aid of a Push-stick, pushes the workpiece
toward the turning Saw Blade. Keep both hands
out of the path of the Saw Blade.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Throughout the cut, keep all body parts a
safe distance from the spinning Blade.
4. After the cut is under way, use the Push Stick
to continue guiding the workpiece forward.
Just before the cut is completed, move the left hand
safely farther away from the workpiece and the Saw
Blade. Continue pushing the workpiece into the Saw
Blade with the Push Stick until the cut is complete.
5. Once the cut is complete, continue to maintain
control of the workpiece. Turn the Switch off.
Then, wait until the Saw Blade completely stops
rotating before removing the workpiece.
6. To prevent accidents, turn off the Table
Saw, remove the key and disconnect its
power supply after use. Clean, then store
the Saw indoors out of children’s reach.
