WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains 
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some 
examples of these chemicals are:
•   Lead based paints
•   Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
•   Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your 
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as 
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING
Before using your table saw, it is critical that you read and understand these safety rules.  Failure to follow 
these rules could result in serious injury or damage to the table saw.
Good safety practices are a combination of common 
sense, staying alert and understanding how to use your 
power tool. To avoid mistakes that could cause serious 
injury, do not plug in your power tool until you have read 
and understood the following safety rules:
1.  READ and become familiar with this entire      
Operator’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, 
limitations and possible hazards.
2.                                                         
       Look for this symbol that identifies important 
safety precautions. It means BE ALERT! YOUR 
SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
3.  NEVER OPERATE THIS MACHINE WITHOUT THE 
SAFETY GUARD IN PLACE FOR ALL THROUGH
–SAWING OPERATIONS.
4. DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT 
such as damp or wet locations or in the rain. Keep 
work area well lighted.
5. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of      
flammable liquids or gases. 
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and 
benches invite accidents.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept 
at a safe distance from the work area.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job 
better and safer if used at the rate for which it was 
designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or      
attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose 
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other 
jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. 
      Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective 
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing, 
cutting and sanding operations produce dust.
12. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when 
changing accessories, such as blades, cutters, etc.
13. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL     
STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the OFF      
position before plugging tool into the power supply.
14. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the Operator’s Manual for recommended 
accessories. The use of improper accessories may 
cause injury to you or damage to the tool.
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. 
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and 
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool 
before turning ON.
16. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. 
TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool 
before the blade comes to a complete stop.
17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could      
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is      
unintentionally contacted. 
18. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times.
19. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp 
and clean for most efficient and safest performance.  
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing      
accessories.
20. CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR LOOSE PARTS.     
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding 
of moving parts, loose mounting and any other 
conditions that may affect its safe operation. A guard 
or other part that is loose or damaged should be 
properly adjusted, repaired or replaced.
21. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, 
master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the     
influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that 
could impair your ability to use the tool safely.
23. USE A DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM whenever     
possible. Dust generated from certain materials can 
be hazardous to your health and, in some cases, 
a fire hazard. Always operate the power tool in a     
well-ventilated area with adequate dust removal.
24. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power 
tool can throw debris into your eyes that  could 
cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS  wear 
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI 
safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only 
impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety 
glasses.  
        NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with 
ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they 
break.
25. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or 
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or 
cutter only.
WARNING

TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter 
and antikickback pawls for every operation for 
which they can be used, including through sawing. 
Through sawing operations are those in which the 
blade cuts completely through the workpiece when 
ripping or crosscutting. 
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter 
gauge or rip fence.
3. ALWAYS USE a push stick, especially when ripping 
narrow stock.  Refer to ripping instructions in this 
Operator’s Manual where the push stick is covered 
in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is 
included on page 23.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND, 
which means using only your hands to support 
or guide the workpiece. Always use either the 
fence or the miter gauge to position and guide 
the work.
      WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR 
CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND 
AMPUTATIONS. 
5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in 
line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands 
out of the saw blade path.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for 
any reason.
7. REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.
8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the 
direction of rotation only.
10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when 
crosscutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW 
BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn 
power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor 
damage.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear  
and the sides of the saw table for long or wide 
workpieces.
13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards 
you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence    
parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, 
anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned 
and functioning. Do not release work before passing 
it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work 
that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight 
edge to guide it along the fence. 
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand      
positions where a sudden slip could cause your 
hand to move into the saw blade.
15. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.      
Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise      
damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should 
be used to clean plastic parts.
16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand 
before performing any cutting operations. Refer to     
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 10.
17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that may make 
hazardous dust.
18. ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.      
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust 
from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential 
fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for      
additional sawdust removal.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING      
UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until the blade 
comes to a complete stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this 
Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND 
ADJUSTMENTS (Page 10). Failure to provide 
sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow 
sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a 
fire hazard and potential motor damage.
