OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
#80463 MICROLUX TILTING ARBOR TABLE SAW
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Table saws can be dangerous tools if not used properly. For your own safety and the safety of others,
please read and understand operating instructions completely before using your new saw.
1.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles. The blade can throw dust, a
loose splinter or knot and damage your eyes. Everyday eyeglasses are
not safety glasses.
2.
Use saw blade guard for every operation for which it can be used.
3.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain.
4.
Set up your saw in a comfortable, well lighted location. Keep the floor
and work area around the saw clean and neat.
5.
Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
6.
Use a push stick to move stock past the blade when ripping (cutting
with the grain).
7.
Don't overreach. Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Non-slip footwear is
recommended.
8.
Never wear loose clothing, work gloves, neckties, bracelets or other
jewelery when operating table saws. Keep long hair tied back.
9.
Keep power tools out of the reach of children.
10.
Do not force tool. Feed stock through saw blade slowly.
11.
Do not operate tool after taking drugs, alcohol or medications or when
you are tired or fatigued.
12.
Always unplug tool before changing blades, servicing, or doing any
other tool maintenance or set-up. Never put hands inside saw housing
with saw plugged in.
13.
Keep your saw well maintained. If it binds, makes unusual noises or
has broken parts, correct the problem immediately.
14.
Check the switch to see that it is off before plugging in the cord.
"0" mark on switch indicates "off".
15.
Feed work against the direction of blade rotation.
16.
A saw or other dust producing tool should not be used close to a
furnace, water heater or other flame producing appliance. The dust in
the air can be ignited, causing an explosion and/or fire.

NOTICE
Your MicroLux Tilting Arbor Table Saw has been designed to provide high power for cutting, but for
short intervals
only
. Continuous heavy usage of the saw will cause excessive heat build up in the electronics and in the motor that
may ultimately cause burnout of these components. Allow a cooling-off period after any heavy cutting and sure to clear
out any saw dust which accumulates in the saw housing so that air can circulate to cool the motor.
Continuous heavy usage which overheats the drive components may void the warranty.
AVOIDING KICKBACKS
A kickback occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the blade
and rip fence or other fixed object, rises from the table and is thrown
toward the operator. To avoid injury, should a kickback occur, keep your
face and body to one side of the saw blade, out of line with a possible
kickback. You can help avoid the occurrence of a kickback by observing
the following rules:
1.
Maintain the rip fence parallel to the blade or slightly farther from the
blade at the back of the saw than at the front. Use thumb screw at back
end of rip fence to adjust.
2.
Keep blades sharp and replace as soon as wear is apparent.
3.
Do not attempt to rip work that is twisted or warped or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
4.
Do not rip cut dowels or other round objects.
5.
Always use a push stick. Push on wood between blade and rip fence.
6.
Do not perform any operations freehand. Never cut anything without
the use of the rip fence or miter gauge.
7.
Never rip cut metals.
8.
Remove rip fence when cross cutting. Never use the rip fence as a
stop for cross cut work.
