blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF.
When the blade completely stops, you
can then remove the workpiece.
WARNING!
● AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward
on the section of the workpiece that
passes between the blade and the
fence. Never perform any freehand
operations.
● When width or rip narrower than 50.8
mm (2 in.) the push stick cannot be
used because the blade guard will
interfere. Use the auxiliary fence (4)
and push block (5) as shown. (Fig. 37)
TILTING THE BLADE (FIG. 37)
Loosen the bevel lock knob (2), move the
blade elevation/tilting handwheel (1) to the

during a single cut.
● Do not allow familiarity or frequent
use of your table saw to cause
careless mistakes. Remember that
even a careless fraction of a second
is enough to cause a severe injury.
● Keep both hands away from the blade
and clear from the path of the blade.
● The workpiece must have a straight
edge against the fence and must not
be warped, twisted, or bowed when
ripping.
13
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. 40)

careless mistakes. Remember that
even a careless fraction of a second
is enough to cause a severe injury.
● Keep both hands away from the blade
and the path of the blade.
● Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting operation.
This will cause kickback and serious
injury to the user can occur.
WARNING! Always position the larger
surface of the workpiece on the
table when crosscutting and/or bevel
crosscutting to avoid instability.
WARNING! Always work to the right side
of the blade during this type of cut. The
miter gauge must be in the right side
groove because the bevel angle may
cause the blade guard to interfere with
the cut if used on the left side groove.

water to clean all plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can
damage plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of cleaning chemicals or
solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory and require no
additional lubrication. On all mechanical
parts of your table saw where a pivot or
threaded rod are present, lubricate using
graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants
will not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.
WARNING! For your own safety, turn the
switch OFF and remove the switch key.
Remove the plug from the power source
outlet before maintaining or lubricating
your saw.
WARNING! All electrical or mechanical
repairs should be attempted only by
a trained repair technician. Contact

your body and hands when operating
the table saw will make cutting easier
and safer. Keep children away. Keep all
visitors at a safe distance from the table
saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of
the saw and workpiece. Do not force the
saw. It will do the job better and safer at
its designed rate.
15
REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES
(FIG. 45, 46)
The carbon brushes included with the unit
will last approximately 50 hours of running
time, or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less
than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining, or if
the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
1. Remove the blade guard, riving knife,
anti-kickback pawls, blade, rip fence,
miter gauge and stand assembly from
the table saw.
2. Lower the blade to its minimum height.
This will make the brush’s location
easier to access.
3. Place cardboard or an old blanket
on the oor to protect the saw table
surface.
4. Place the saw upside down on the
protective material.
5. Tilt the blade elevation/tilting
handwheel (1) to the 45° position.
6. Remove the carbon brush cover (2)
from the side of the motor (3).
7. Carefully remove the spring-loaded
carbon brush cover, and then pull out
the brush and replace.
8. Repeat for the other side.
9. The ears on the metal end of the
assembly go in the same hole the
carbon part ts into. Do not overtighten
the cover.
10. Carefully set the saw in a upright
position on a clean level surface.
11. Replace the blade guard, blade, riving
knife, anti-kickback pawls, rip fence,
miter gauge and stand assembly to the
table saw.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes,
make sure the brush go back in the way
they came out. This will avoid a break-in
period that reduces motor performance and
increases wear.
WARNING! Always disconnect the plug
from the power source before inspecting
the brushes.
