ASSEMBLY

UNPACKING

This product requires assembly.

Carefully remove the tool and any accessories from the box. Place it on a level work surface.

NOTE: This tool is heavy. To avoid back injury, keep your knees bent and lift with your legs, not your back, and get help when needed.

Remove the protective oil that is applied to all unpainted metal surfaces. Use any ordinary household type grease and spot remover.

Apply coat of paste wax to the table and table exten- sions.

Inspect the tool carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping.

Do not discard the packing material until you have carefully inspected the tool, identified all loose parts, and satisfactorily operated the tool.

The saw is factory set for accurate cutting. After assem- bling it, check for accuracy. If shipping has influenced the settings, refer to specific procedures explained in this manual.

If any parts are damaged or missing, please call 1-866-539-1710 for assistance.

WARNING:

If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this tool until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not connect to power supply until assembly is complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not lift the saw without help. Hold it close to your body. Keep your knees bent and lift with your legs, not your back. Ignoring these precau- tions can result in back injury.

WARNING:

Never stand directly in line with the blade or allow hands to come closer than 3 in. to the blade. Do not reach over or across the blade. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always make sure the table saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved leg stand. NEVER operate the saw on the floor.

MOUNTING HOLES

The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench or leg stand. If bolted to a workbench, remove the four locking knobs. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw’s base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.

Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, slid- ing, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.
