• Use support for the sides and back of the saw table when cutting wide or long work piece.
• Never cut more than one work piece at a time. Stacked work pieces can shift or bind and lead
to unexpected contact with blade.
• Keep rip fence parallel to the saw blade to avoid binding or kickbacks.
• Never pull the work piece through the spinning blade. It may cause kickback and cause
serious personal injury. You can be dragged into the blade during a kickback.
• Do not rip a work piece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the fence.
• Never make through cuts narrower than 1/2". The blade guard system is not effective for narrow
rip cuts and will not prevent kickback.
• Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without turning off the saw and unplugging
the saw from the power source.
• Avoid cutting nails or other metal pieces. Inspect for and remove all nails from the work piece.
• Always turn the saw off before unplugging the saw from the power source to avoid
accidental starting when re-plugging into to the power source. Never leave the table saw unattended while
connected to a power source.
• Use only accessories rated for the speed recommended on the tool warning label or
higher. The blade for this table saw must be 10" (255mm) in diameter, rated at least 4,800 rpm or higher
with 5/8" arbor. Accessories running at speeds greater than rated can fly apart and cause personal injury.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users.
