WORK AREA SAFETY:
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs in any earthed
(grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat. Oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tools outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work. The electrical components
of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tool with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintaining proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an injury in unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot safely control the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Secure the work piece. use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool
could possible damage the tool and may result in personal injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.
• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measure reduce the risk of an accidental start up
which may cause personal injury.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is dangerous in the hand of untrained
users.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts, component breaks, and any other
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories. using accessories and attachments not recommended by the manufacturer or intended for
use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended
accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface
against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work
piece to be thrown out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work piece.

EXTEnSiOn COrDS
grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required
minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-
gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

ADHErEnCE TO PrODUCT SAFETY rULES. if you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury!
• Do not cut metals with the table saw. Table saws are designed to cut wood-like or plastic materials. However, some wood and
plastic materials are quite hard and slippery. The anti-kickback pawls may not stop kick back. Do not stand, or let anyone stand in line with
potential kickback.
• To avoid tipping your table saw in operation, firmly BOLT it to a work stand or bench. Long work pieces
need extra support on the out-feed side.
• Unplug saw from power source before making adjustments, repairs, maintenance or storing.
Accidental start up can cause serious personal injury.
• Do not turn on the table saw before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the work piece
and related feed or supporting devices
• Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses with side shields, unless otherwise specified, everyday glasses
provide only limited impact resistance, they are not safety glasses, use only approved certified safety equipment; eye protection should comply
with ANSI z87.1 standards, protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.
• Protect your lungs. Wear face or dust mask. Following this rule will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Tie back long hair and roll long sleeves above the elbow. Do NOT wear loose fitting gloves, loose clothing, jewelry and
other items which can be caught in rotating parts and cause serious personal injury.

• Always use blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback pawls on all through cutting operations. The guard
system is designed to reduce the intensity of kickback and keep your hands away from the spinning blade.
• Always secure the work piece against rip fence or miter gauge.
• Always use push stick for ripping narrow stock so your hand does not come close to the saw blade. use a push block or
feather board for non-through cuts
• Never cut freehand, which means using only your hands to support or guide the work piece. Always use rip fence or miter gauge to
position and guide the work
• Stand to the side of the blade and work piece. NeVeR stand or hand any part of your body in line with the path of the saw
blade.
• Never reach behind blade when the saw blade is rotating.
• Move rip fence out of the way when cross cutting. NeVeR use rip fence as a cut off gauge when cross cutting
• Keep saw blade clean and sharp. A Dull and sticky blade will increase the risk of binding in the work piece.
• Feed the work piece through AGAINST the rotation of the blade. Feeding material from the back of the saw invites
an accident and can cause serious injury.
• Use support for the sides and back of the saw table when cutting wide or long work piece.
• Never cut one than one work piece at a time. Stacked work pieces can shift or bind and lead to unexpected contact with
blade.
• Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade to avoid binding or kickbacks
• Never pull the work through the spinning blade. It may cause kickback and cause serious personal injury. you can be
dragged into the blades 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 ½”. 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 power source to avoid accidental starting when re-
plugging into to power source. Never leave 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” (254mm) 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
