General & Electrical Safety
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord with an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
• The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with green insulation - with or without yellow stripes - is the equipment-grounding conductor.
• If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not clear, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit with an outlet that resembles Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug similar to
the plug illustrated. A temporary adapter, which resembles the adapter illustrated in Fig B, may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly-grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored grounding clip with metal
screw extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly-grounded outlet box.
GROUNDING PIN
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well illuminated.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will perform more efficiently and safely when working at the rate for which it
was designed.
8. USE THE CORRECT TOOL. Don't force the tool or attachment to perform a task for which it was not designed.
9. USE THE CORRECT EXTENSION CORD. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and the nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. WEAR CORRECT APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using hands and also
it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters etc.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in 'off' position before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories.
The use of incorrect accessories may create a risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. SWITCH THE POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool unattended until
it comes to a complete stop.
Table Saw Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment, including but not limited to eye protection,
ear defenders, a suitable dust mask and suitable gloves when using a saw table. Ensure all people in the
vicinity of the work area use adequate protection. Keep bystanders a safe distance away.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the dust extraction port on the blade guard to a suitable vacuum dust
extraction system. Certain types of wood are toxic or may cause allergic reactions in people and animals,
especially when exposed to very fine dust. ALWAYS wear appropriate respiratory protection in addition to vacuum
dust extraction.
WARNING: The rated speed of the saw blade must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
a) ONLY fit circular saws that are listed as compatible in 'Specifications' to the saw table. ONLY use compatible
saw blades, ensuring that the riving knife is not thicker than the blade kerf, and not thinner than the saw blade.
b) ENSURE your work area is safe and sufficiently lightened, without obstructions, trip hazards or any other
potential dangers.
c) NEVER attempt to cut metals or drywall products containing masonry with this table saw. It is exclusively
designed for use with wood and wood-like products.

d) DO NOT attempt to use a molding head with this saw table. The compatible circular saws and the table setup
are not suitable for this kind of cutting.
e) ALWAYS ensure the work area is well ventilated. Remove sawdust frequently and clean out sawdust from the
saw, to prevent a potential fire hazard.
f) NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the blade with your hands whilst the blade is
spinning. ALWAYS switch the saw off, disconnect the machine from the power supply, and wait until the blade
has come to a standstill. ALWAYS use cut-proof gloves when touching the saw blade, to avoid injury.
g) NEVER leave the saw running unattended. After switching off, DO NOT leave the saw table, until the blade has
come to a complete stop.
h) CAREFULLY read the instructions listed in 'Kickback Prevention', and follow these recommendations when
using a saw table.
i) ALWAYS feed the workpiece into the blade AGAINST the direction of rotation. The feed direction is indicated
by the arrow moulded into the table surface.
j) ALWAYS use the parallel fence when making rip cuts. Ensure the fence is parallel to the blade, it MUST NOT
be angled towards the blade, and securely lock the fence at both ends.
k) ALWAYS secure the workpiece firmly against the rip fence or mitre gauge. NEVER use the rip fence during
the same operation as the mitre gauge.
l) NEVER remove the blade guard or riving knife. Riving knives are also known under the term 'spreaders'.
m) ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping narrow workpieces, so your hand does not come close to the saw
blade. The push stick must ALWAYS be narrower than the workpiece, to prevent the push stick from coming into
contact with the blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts. Store the push stick with the
saw, when not in use.
n) NEVER perform any free-hand operations, only supporting the workpiece with your hands. ALWAYS use
either the rip fence or a mitre fence to position and guide the work.
o) NEVER reach behind, over or within 75mm (3") of the blade, with either hand, for any reason.
p) ALWAYS move the rip fence out of the way when making cross cuts. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off
gauge when cross cutting.
q) NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade, with the saw switched on. ALWAYS switch off and disconnect
the machine from the power supply.
r) ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the saw table, and where
necessary, also to the sides. Use roller supports or saw horses wherever possible.
s) NEVER let go of the workpiece before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade, using a push stick
where necessary.
t) AVOID irregularly shaped workpieces that do not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
u) DO NOT cut round stock with table saws. DO NOT use table saws to cut logs or firewood.
v) ALWAYS avoid awkward operations and hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause your hand or
other parts of your body to come into contact with the blade.
w) INSPECT the throat plate before use. Replace throat plates that are damaged or worn.
x) ONLY use accessories listed in this manual, to be compatible with the saw table. The use of incompatible
accessories may inherently be dangerous and lead to severe injury or property damage. ALWAYS follow all safety
instructions and safe usage procedures, provided with the accessory.
y) ALWAYS switch the saw table off before disconnecting it from the power supply. This avoids accidental
starting upon reconnecting to the power supply.
Kickback Prevention
Note: Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly, as a result from being pinched, bound or misaligned, and drives
the workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can also pull the operator's hand into the blade, resulting in
serious injury.
WARNING: Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions, however,
if precautions are taken, kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, or avoided altogether:
a) ALWAYS use the saw with the riving knife (also known as 'spreader') installed. NEVER remove the riving
knife, to prevent the kerf from closing on to the blade.
b) NEVER attempt to cut with a dull or warped blade. ALWAYS ensure the blade is suitable for the material
to be cut.
c) ALWAYS ensure the rip fence is parallel to the blade. If the fence tilts inward towards the blade, the workpiece
may come into contact with the back edge of the blade, and may be thrown back towards the user uncontrollably
as a result.
d) NEVER use the rip fence and mitre gauge simultaneously. This can lead to serious kickback and severe injury.
e) Use CAUTION when cutting large sheets. Ensure larger stock is properly supported by adequate in-feed and
out-feed supports.
f) DO NOT cut round stock or workpieces that cannot lay flat on the table. Avoid cutting twisted, distorted or
knotty wood.
g) DO NOT cut wet wood, as it produces higher friction against the saw blade. Wet sawdust can accumulate on
the blade, further increasing the likelihood of kickback.
h) ALWAYS maintain a firm grip on the workpiece, with both hands, and position your arms to
resist kickback forces.
i) Stay out of blade path and position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
j) DO NOT back out of the cut. If you have to interrupt a cut before it is complete, switch the saw off, and remove
the workpiece from the saw, once the blade has stopped spinning.
k) PREVENT workpieces from dropping on to the blade. DO NOT attempt to perform plunge cuts with your
table saw.
l) ALWAYS use push sticks or push block where appropriate, to guide the workpiece through the blade.
Use feather boards to hold down the workpiece wherever possible
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 from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
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 those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
