If the distances are different:
Remove the blade guard and riving knife. Raise the
blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel
clockwise.
Loosen the locking bolts by turning towards the left.
NOTE:
The bolts are located above the height/bevel
adjusting handwheel and under the saw table in the front
of the saw.
Turn adjusting bolt left or right until the blade is square.
Tighten the locking bolts. Check again for squareness
and continue to adjust if needed.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align the rip
fence to the blade following any blade adjustments.
Always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade
before beginning any operation.
MAKING CUTS
WARNING:
Before making any cuts, make sure that the table saw
stand is on a firm level surface where there is plenty of
room to handle and properly support the table saw and
the workpiece. If a suitable location can not be found,
then the saw should not be used. Operating the saw in a
location that does not provide adequate space and stable
footing for the table saw stand could create a tipping
hazard which could result in serious personal injury.
This table saw can perform a variety of cuts that are not all
mentioned in this manual. DO NOT attempt to make any cuts
not covered here unless you are thoroughly familiar with the
proper procedures and necessary accessories. Your local
library has many books on table saw usage and specialized
woodworking procedures for your reference.
The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combination
blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations. Carefully
check all setups and rotate the blade one full revolution to
assure proper clearance before connecting saw to power
source. Stand slightly to the side of the blade path to reduce
the chance of injury should kickback occur.
WARNING:
Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

Use the miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel, and
compound miter cuts. To secure the angle, lock the miter
gauge in place by twisting the lock knob clockwise. Always
tighten the lock knob securely in place before use.
During use the miter gauge may move slightly left or right
inside the miter gauge groove. For greater accuracy, press
the miter gauge against the left or right edge of the miter
gauge groove when making cuts. Do not allow the gauge to
