32. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect
it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, water and sharp edges.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based-painted material and,
- 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
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
34. Connect the tool to a dust-collecting device when
sawing.
35. The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup
and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that
guard hood is down and flat against sawtable
before plugging in the tool.

INSTALLATION
Positioning table saw (Fig. 1 – 3)
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you
can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw should
be secured with four screws or bolts to the work bench or
table saw stand using the holes provided in the bottom of
the table saw. When securing the table saw on the work
bench, make sure that there is an opening in the top of the
work bench the same size as the opening in the bottom of
the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table saw
to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table saw
stand should be secured to the floor.
Storing accessories (Fig. 4 & 5)
The miter gauge, blade and wrenches can be stored on
the left side of the base and the rip fence can be stored at
the right side of the base.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 6)
The depth of cut may be adjusted by turning the handle.
Turn the handle clockwise to raise the blade or
counterclockwise to lower it.
NOTE:
• Use a shallow depth setting when cutting thin materials
in order to obtain a cleaner cut.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 7)
Loosen the lock lever counterclockwise and turn the
handwheel until the desired angle (0° – 45°) is obtained.
The bevel angle is indicated by the arrow pointer.
After obtaining the desired angle, tighten the lock lever
clockwise to secure the adjustment.
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the bevel angle, be sure to tighten the
lock lever securely.
Adjusting positive stops (Fig. 8 & 9)
The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45° to
the table surface. To check and adjust the positive stops,
proceed as follows:
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it. Place
a triangular rule on the table and check to see if the blade
is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the blade is at an
angle shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting screws
clockwise; if it is at an angle shown in Fig. B, turn the
adjusting screws counterclockwise to adjust the positive
stops.
After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to
the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that its
right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation. (Fig. 10)
Switch action
For the lever type switch (Fig. 11)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always be sure that the tool
is switched off.
To start the tool, raise the switch lever. To stop it, lower the
switch lever.
The hinged switch lever plate can be locked by passing
padlock through the hasp on the left hand side. (Fig. 12)
For the button type switch (Fig. 13)

Sub table (R) (Fig. 14 & 15)
This tool is provided with the sub table (R) on the right
side of the main table. To use the sub table (R), raise both
levers on the front right side, pull out the table (R) fully and
then lower the levers to secure it.
When using the sub table (R), locate the scale plate on
the sub table after loosening the screw on it with a
screwdriver so that it becomes successive with the scale
plate on the main table. (Fig. 16)
Sub table (back)
(optional accessory for other than
European countries) (Fig. 17)
To use the sub table (back), loosen the screws on the left
and right hand sides under the table and pull it out
backwards to the desired length. At the desired length,
tighten the screw securely.
