To turn the saw ON lift the switch. Press the switch down to
turn the saw OFF (Fig. 13).
When not in use, the saw should be turned off and the power

power switch, use a standard long shackle lock, with a shackle
that is at least 2- / inch (70mm) long and no more than
3
4
inch (7mm) thick.
Dust Collection
1.
Connect a shop vacuum or dust collection hose to dust
port on back of saw for best dust collection.

OPERATION

• Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback pawls when the points
become dull.
• Make sure saw is stable and cut can be accomplished without
tipping the saw.
• Never use fence and miter gauge together without using a cut off
block (gauge) as described in the Cutting Aids and Accessories
section of this manual.
• The proper throat plate must be in place at all times.
If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates excessively,
cease operating immediately until the source has been located and the
problem corrected.
Never perform freehand cutting, plunge cutting, re-sawing or cove
cutting.
AVOID KICKBACK
A kickback can occur when the workpiece pinches the blade, or binds
between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. This
can cause the workpiece to rise from the table and/or be thrown back
toward the operator. See instructions for reducing the risk of kickback,
in the Table Saw Safety Rules section of this manual.
IF KICKBACK OCCURS, turn the saw "OFF" and verify proper
alignment of the blade, riving knife and miter gauge or rip fence, and
the proper functioning of the riving knife, anti-kickback assembly and
blade guard assembly before resuming work.
