ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This manual is written for 3 specific models,
Model No 35990G, 35990C & 35990CS Please follow
the specific requirements for your model saw.
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
handle.
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.
WARNING
!
The switch provided with your saw is a dual voltage
capable switch, meaning it is designed to function at
either 120 or 240 volts. The switch and saw comes
prewired for 120 volt operation. If you decide to convert
the saw to 240V, you will have to replace the 120 volt
plug on the switch with a UL/CSA Listed plug, suitable
for 240 volts.
The table saw with a 240 volt plug should only be
connected to an outlet having the same configuration of
your 240V outlet. Please follow the instruction of wiring
diagram for changing the motor Voltage from 120 Volt to
240 Volt.
