Status Light Codes
The green (A) and red (B) lights under the power
controls indicate the status of the saw. The lights can
display individually or in combination, depending on
the status. Either light can flash slowly or quickly.
Either light can display as solid.
The red light can flash once indicating the saw is in
Bypass Mode.

Zero-Clearance Insert
Your Compact Table Saw uses a ‘zero-clearance’
insert (A). The zero clearance slot (B) is pre-cut at the
factory. The zero-clearance slot maximizes support
under narrow cuts and reduces risk of kickback. You
will need to cut the slot in replacement inserts
).
How to Remove the Insert
To remove the insert, lift the latch and simultaneously
lift and pull the insert toward you.
Blade Guard
The blade guard consists of a micro guard (A), anti-
kickback pawls (B) and spreader (C). Always use the
blade guard when making through-cuts. Use the low
fence (
) for thin cuts and narrow cuts.
The micro guard helps prevent contact with the blade.
The anti-kickback pawls help reduce the likelihood of
kickback.
The spreader provides a mount for the micro-guard
and anti-kickback pawls and helps prevent pinching
and binding, which reduces the likelihood of kickback.
to learn how to assemble the blade
guard.
Always use the blade guard whenever possible.
If the cut type will not permit use of the blade
guard, use the riving knife (
).
Riving Knife
Like the spreader, the riving knife (A) helps prevent
pinching and binding, which reduces the likelihood of
kickback.
Use the riving knife instead of the blade guard when
1) a rip cut is too narrow for clearance between the
blade guard and the rip fence or 2) you are making a
non-through cut (the blade does not pass all the way
through the thickness of the material), as shown in
the illustration, above.
Only use the riving knife when the cut will not permit
use of the blade guard. Otherwise, always use the
blade guard.
Always use the blade guard whenever possible.
If the cut type will not permit use of the blade
guard, use the riving knife (
).
