ADJUSTMENTS
45° BEVEL STOP (FIG. 19)
1. Raise the blade to maximum height by rotating the hand-
wheel counterclockwise.
2. Loosen bevel angle lock knob.
3. Tilt the blade to 45° bevel.
4. Using a square (1), verify blade is 45° to the table top.
5. If blade is not 45° to the table, back off the adjustment
screw (2).
6. Loosen bevel lock knob and square blade 45° to the table.
7. Once blade is at 45° to the table top, lock bevel angle lock-
ing knob.
8. Carefully tighten adjusting screw (2) until it touches the
bevel stop. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
9. Recheck to ensure blade is still aligned at 45°.
BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. 20)
The on/off switch (1) is located on the front panel of the saw
base. To turn the saw ON, move the switch to the up position.
To turn the saw OFF, move the switch to the down position.
LOCKING SWITCH IN OFF POSITION (FIG. 20)
When the saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the
OFF position. To lock the switch in the OFF position, pull out
the safety key (2) from the center of the switch. The saw will
not start with the key removed. However, if the key is removed
while the switch is in the ON position, it can be turned off
ONCE. The saw will not restart until the key has been rein-
serted into the switch and the switch is turned on.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. 20)
DANGER
To avoid injury, the ON/OFF switch should be in the
OFF position and the plug removed from the power
source while the motor cool down takes place. This
will prevent accidental starting when the reset button
is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned
parts, a dull blade or an undersized extention cord. In-
spect the saw for proper setup before using it again.
This saw is equipped with a thermal overload reset
switch. If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to
overloading or low voltage, turn the switch to OFF
position and let the motor cool down and remove all
cutting materials from the saw. After the motor has
cooled down, push the reset button (3) to reset the
overload device. The saw should now start when the
switch is returned to the ON position.

CUTTING OPERATIONS
There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting.
Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the work-
piece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across
the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor crosscutting
may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the
rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge.
CAUTION
Before using the saw each and every time, check the
following:
1. Blade is tight on the arbor.
2. Bevel angle lock knob is tight.
3. If ripping, fence knob is tight and fence is parallel
to the miter gauge grooves.
4. Blade guard is in place tightly and working
properly.
5. Safety glasses are being worn.
The failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those
printed in the front of this manual, greatly increases the likeli-
hood of injury.
RIPPING (FIG. 21, 22)
CAUTION
To prevent serious injury:
• Never use the miter gauge when ripping.
• Never use more than one rip fence during a
single cut.
• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your
table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember
that even a careless fraction of a second is enough
to cause a severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and path
of the blade.
• When ripping, the workpiece must have a straight
edge against the fence and must not be warped,
twisted, or bowed.
