Do NOT use saw blades made of materials that
are electrically non-conductive (e.g. abrasive
blades, blades with plastic hubs, etc.)
).
Do NOT use a dull saw blade. In addition to
cutting less effectively, a dull blade is more
likely to bind and requires more pressure to feed
the workpiece. Replace the blade periodically or
when it begins to become dull.
Use the correct saw blade for the material being
cut. Use wood-specific saw blades when cutting
wood. Use metal-specific saw blades when
cutting metal.
Always use a saw blade which is marked with a
speed equal to or higher than 4000 rpm.
Both the riving knife and the spreader are
0.090" (2.3 mm) thick. Do NOT use a blade with
a kerf less than
3/32
" (3 mm) with these tools.
When the blade and riving knife or spreader are
installed on the saw, there should be a gap of
0.16" - 0.32" (4-8 mm) between the blade and the
riving knife or spreader.
Do not use Dado blades. The Compact Table Saw
is not designed to work with Dado blades.
Do NOT use saw blades that have a lacquer
coating on the teeth, blades with depth-limiting
shoulders, or blades with non-conductive teeth.
This illustration shows a blade as equipped with
shoulders (A). Do not use blades with shoulders. The
shoulders could prevent the brake pawl from
effectively engaging the blade in the event of an
activation.
Turn off the main power switch. Make sure the
blade is completely stopped before making any
adjustments.
Avoid overheating the tips of the saw blade teeth
by keeping the blade clean and sharp. Ensure
the dust collection system is clean and free of
debris. When cutting plastic, make sure material
feed rate does not cause the plastic to heat up or
melt.
To avoid risk of injury, wear gloves when
handling saw blades. Never wear gloves when
operating the saw.

Workpiece Material
Requirements
The Compact Table Saw can be used to cut wood,
plastic, pliable metal (e.g., aluminum), or other similar
materials. Do not use the saw to cut ferrous metals.
Conductive materials must be cut using Bypass Mode
(
). Only use blades with a 10" (254 mm)
or 250mm (9.84”) diameter and 5/8" (15.875 mm) bore
(arbor) diameter (
).
If cutting metal, plug the saw into an RCD (residual
current device), also known as a GFCI (ground fault
circuit interrupter) (
).
Electrical Specifications
•
Saw must be connected to grounded wiring
system or system having an equipment grounding
conductor.
•
Plug must match outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
•
Do not modify plug – if it will not fit the outlet, have
proper outlet installed by qualified electrician.
•
Improper connection of equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock and/
or malfunction.
•
Outer surface of insulation on equipment-
grounding conductor is green with or without
yellow stripes.
•
Check with qualified electrician or service
personnel if grounding instructions not understood,
or if you are not sure whether saw is properly
grounded.
•
Do not expose saw to wet or damp conditions.
•
Keep power cord away from anything that could
damage cord (e.g., heat, sharp objects, etc.).
