OPERATIONS
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
table saw. The circuit should not be less than #14
AWG wire and should be protected with a 15-amp
time lag fuse.
• Have a qualified electrician repair or replace damaged
or worn cord immediately.
• Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
certain the switch is in the “OFF” position and be
sure that the electric current is of the same rating as
the motor nameplate. All line connections should
make good contact.
• Running on low voltage or long, underrated extension
cords will damage the motor.
• DO NOT expose the table saw to rain or operate the
in damp locations.
• MAKE SURE all parts have been assembled correct-
ly and are in working order.
• KEEP table surface clear of tools and debris before
starting table saw.
4. When the table saw is not in use, the “ON” button
should be locked so that it cannot be started.
5. Using a padlock (not provided), it is possible to lock
the switch to prevent unauthorized use. Lift the red
“OFF” paddle and place a padlock through the
holes (C) in the side of the “ON” button and then
lock the padlock. Make sure keys have been
removed from padlock and placed where no
children can get them.
SEE FIG. A.
6. To use the table saw, unlock and remove the
padlock from the “ON” button.
THERMAL-OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
• Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power
cord from its power source prior to doing or perform-
ing any maintenance.
• Make certain that the “OFF” button has been de-
pressed before pushing the thermal-overload reset
button.
The motor supplied with your table saw has a resettable
thermal-overload relay located on the side of the switch.
If the motor shuts off during an operation (cutting a
workpiece too fast or using a dull blade, using the saw
beyond its capacity, or low voltage) press the “OFF”
button and let the motor cool three to five minutes.
Push the reset thermal-overload button on the side of
the ON/OFF switch assembly. Make certain that the
saw blade and work area has been cleared of debris
before restarting saw. The motor can now be turned
on again.
1. The ON/OFF switch is located under the front rail
on the table saw.
2. To turn the table saw on, press the green “START”
button (A) in one-half inch.
Note:
There is a safety
feature on the switch to insure that the switch must
be completely pressed before the saw will START.
SEE FIG. A.
3. To turn the table saw off, press the large red “OFF”
paddle (B) or lift the paddle and press directly on
the red “OFF” button.
