ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. NN)
The ON / OFF switch has a removable safety key. With
the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and
hazardous use by children and others is minimized and
the saw will not turn on.

slot of the switch (1), and move the switch upward to
the “ON” position.
2. To turn the saw “OFF,” move the switch downward.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the
sides of the safety switch key, and pull it out.
4. With the switch key removed, the switch will not
operate to power the saw on.
5. If the switch key is removed while the saw is running,
it can be turned “OFF” but cannot be restarted
without inserting the switch key.
ALWAYS lock the switch “OFF” when the saw is
not in use. Remove the key and keep it in a safe
place. In the event of a power failure, blown fuse,
or tripped circuit breaker, turn the switch “OFF”
and remove the key, preventing an accidental
startup when power comes on.

the dust port (2) at the rear of the table saw. DO NOT
operate the saw with the hose in place unless the
vacuum is turned on.
