ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This manual is written for two specific models,
Model No 35600 and Model No 35605. Please follow
the specific requirements for your model saw.
MODEL NO 35600
The switch provided with your saw is a dual voltage
capable switch, meaning it is designed to function at
either 115 or 230 volts. The switch and saw comes
To reduce the risk of electric shock, follow all electri-
cal and safety codes, including the National Electric
Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health
Regulations (OSHA). All electrical connections and
wiring should be made by qualified personnel only.
15.
ENSURE
that the machine sits firmly on the floor
before using. If the machine wobbles or is unstable,
correct the problem by using shims or blocks prior
to operation.
16.
KEEP
saw blade sharp and clean. Failure to do so
greatly increases friction, decreases cut quality, and
increases the possibility of a kickback.
17.
MAKE CERTAIN
the saw blade is parallel with the
miter slots and with the rip fence. A blade that is
not aligned parallel can cause the workpiece to be
pinched between the blade and the fence causing
burning or kickbacks.
18.
ALWAYS
use blade guard on all through cuts.
This will help prevent the cut from closing on the
back of the saw blade. The blade guard also has
anti-kickback fingers which minimize the chance
of a workiece being thrown back during a cutting
operation.
19.
ALWAYS
push the workpiece past the blade.
DO
NOT
release a workpiece until it is past the blade
and removed from the saw.
20.
DO NOT
execute a cut when you do not have
complete control of the situation.
21.
DO NOT
cut a workpiece that is too large for you to
safely handle. Use an outfeed table or workstand to
properly support the piece.
22.
DO NOT
use the rip fence as a guide when cross-
cutting.
23.
BE MINDFUL
of flaws in the wood. Cutting a
warped or twisted board along the rip fence can get
pinched between the fence and the blade, causing
a kickback.
24.
ALWAYS
remove cut off pieces and scraps from
the table before starting the saw.
25.
NEVER
start the machine with the workpiece
against the blade.
26.
NEVER
perform freehand operations. Use either
the fence or miter gauge to position and guide the
workpiece through the blade.
27.
ALWAYS
use a pushstick for ripping narrow work-
pieces.
28.
NEVER
have any part of your body in line with the
path of the saw blade. If a kickback occurs with
you directly in front of the blade, a serious injury
can occur.
29.
NEVER
attempt to free a stalled blade without first
turning the machine off and disconnecting the saw
from the power source.
30.
DO NOT
reach over or behind a rotating saw
blade.
WARNING
!
prewired for 115 volt operation. If you decide to convert
the saw to 230V, you will have to replace the 115 volt
plug on the switch with a UL/CSA Listed plug, suitable
for 230 volts. The table saw with a 230 volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the same config-
uration as the plug. No adapter is available or should
be used with the 230 volt plug. Once the modification
has been made to the plug of the switch, be sure to fol-
low the instructions under CHANGING MOTOR VOLT-
AGE for changing the motor voltage from 115 volt to
230 volt in the ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual.
MODEL NO 35605
The switch provided with your saw is a magnetic switch
designed for 230 volt single phase usage only. The
switch has a plug that is designed to plug into a 230
volt outlet. There are many different configurations for
230 volt outlets, so it is conceivable that the configura-
tion of the plug may not match the configuration of your
existing outlet. If this is the case, you will have to
replace the plug with a UL/CSA approved plug that
matches the configuration of your 230V outlet.
14.
DO NOT
use the table saw as a toy.
DO NOT
use
near or around children.
