SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual

carefully. Learn the tool’s applications, work capabilities,

and its specic potential hazards.

BEFORE USING YOUR MACHINE

To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and

follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before

operating the machine.

1. Some dust created by using power tools contains

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other

• masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work

with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to lter out microscopic

particles.

2. READ the entire Owner’s Manual. LEARN how to use

the tool for its intended applications.

3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3

prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical

receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground the tool and

provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO

NOT remove the 3rd prong. See Grounding Instructions

on the following pages.

4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT.

DO NOT use electrical tools in a damp environment or

expose them to rain.

5. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of

ammable liquids or gasses.

6. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and

organized. DO NOT work in an environment with oor

surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.

7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT

permit people to be in the immediate work area,

especially when the electrical tool is operating.

8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation

for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and

higher quality job by only performing operations for

which the tool was intended.

9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose

clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. These items can

get caught in the machine during operations and pull the

operator into the moving parts. The user must wear a

protective cover on their hair, if the hair is long, to

prevent it from contacting any moving parts.

10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by

removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the

electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE

ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjust-

ments, changing parts or performing any maintenance.

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. This symbol may be used

in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

16. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED.

Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position. DO NOT

leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could

result if the tool tips over, or you accidentally contact the

tool.

18. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where

anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.

19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend

yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled

shoes. Keep oor clear of debris, grease, and wax.

20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools

clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool

bits sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other

abrasive accessories when worn.

21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED

PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check

all guards to see that they operate properly, are not dam-

aged, and perform their intended functions. Check for

alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard

or other part that is damaged should be immediately

repaired or replaced.

22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED, OR

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION

OR ALCOHOL.

23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure

the work piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the

work piece with your hands.

24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING,

AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A

POWER TOOL.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD

CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product

will draw. The table on the following page shows the cor-

rect size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the

extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an exten-

sion cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of

power and overheating.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS

A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE

RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.

INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE

PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust

and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and

body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and

provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection

system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may

cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury,

including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and

death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged

contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth

or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of

harmful material. Always use properly tting NIOSH/OSHA

approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust

exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN

WORKING ORDER.

13. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that

the power switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging

in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.

14. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the

immediate area prior to turning “ON” the machine.

RAILS

FIG. B

FIG. A

THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD

WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. For

best power and safety, plug the machine directly into a

dedicated, grounded electrical outlet that is within the

supplied cord length of the machine.

If an extension cord needs to be used, it should only be

for a limited operation of the machine. The extension

cord should be as short as possible in length, and have

a minimum gauge size of 14AWG.

Check extension cords before each

use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool

with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged area

could cause electrical shock, and serious injury.

Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by

Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can

cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power

and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool out-

doors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk

of electric shock.

DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not t the electrical

receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed

by a qualied electrician.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the

equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of

electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation

(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment ground-

ing conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding

conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement

of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

CHECK with a qualied electrician or service personnel if

you do not completely understand the grounding

instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly

grounded when installing or replacing a plug.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS

THE PROPER TYPE OF A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG

THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE’S 3-PRONG PLUG AND

ALSO THE 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE

TOOL’S PLUG. * See Figures A and B.

REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD

IMMEDIATELY.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 120

volt electrical receptacle. FIGURE C shows the type of the

240V, 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that

has a grounding conductor that is required if the motor

wiring is changed. See page 25.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric

current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool

is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment

grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not

included). The plug MUST be plugged into a matching elec-

trical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

THIS TOOL IS PRE-WIRED FOR 120V

CIRCUITS, AND MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO

PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Sample of 240 volt plug

required for this machine.

EXTENSION CORDS

Keep the extension cord clear of

the working area. Position the cord so that it will not

get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while

you are working with your power tool.

* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to

be certied SJT type or better.

** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

Consult a qualied

electrician if the

distance of the

machine from the

electrical panel is

greater than 30 feet.

FIG. C

California Proposition 65 Warning

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust

masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

For more detailed information about California Proposition 65 log onto rikontools.com.

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti-kickback pawls for every through-sawing operation.

Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or

crosscutting. Always be sure blade guard is tightly secured.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

3. ALWAYS USE a push stick, especially when ripping narrow stock.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATIONS FREEHAND, which means using only your hands to support or guide the

workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work. WARNING: FREEHAND

CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.

5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the saw

blade path.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason.

7. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only.

8. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-o gauge when crosscutting.

9. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without rst turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF

immediately to prevent kickback and motor damage.

10. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the table saw for long or wide workpieces.

11. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw

blade and by keeping the splitter, anti-kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release

work before passing it completely beyond the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a

straight edge to guide it along the fence.

12. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the

saw blade.

13. NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.

14. NEVER CUT METALS or materials that make hazardous dust.

15. ALWAYS USE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a

pontenial re hazard.

16. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the saw until blade comes to a complete stop.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often.

CHANGING THE SPLITTER TO A

RIVING KNIFE

Note: It is very important to keep the Riving Knife

in close proximity to the blade to maintain an

even gap inside the kerf of the workpiece.

Keeping the gap open prevents the kerf of the

workpiece to close behind the blade and causing

kickback.

1. Remove the guard assembly (A-Fig. 16) and

kick-back pawl assembly (B-Fig. 16) by

loosening knobs (C-Fig. 16) and (D-Fig. 16).

2. Remove the table insert, and loosen the Lever

(A-Fig. 17) that locks the splitter into position.

3. Slide the splitter to the desired height and

make sure the location pins inside the bottom

of the mounting bracket are properly inserted

into the location holes (B-Fig. 17) of the split-

ter. This will set the splitter to its lowest posi-

tion.

4. Tighten the Lever (A-Fig. 17) and re-install the

table insert.

CONNECTING SWITCH CORD TO

MOTOR CORD

1. Place the switch cord (A-Fig. 18) through hole

(B-Fig. 18) in front of cabinet.

2. Open motor cover, insert three prong motor

cord (A-Fig. 19) into three hole outlet of the

switch cord (B-Fig. 19).

3. Pull slack in switch cord into the cabinet.

Make sure that the power cord inside of the

cabinet is properly routed and clear of the saw

blade and any pinch points for all blade height

and blade angle settings.

ADJUSTMENTS

RAISING AND LOWERING THE BLADE

The blade height adjustment handwheel and

handwheel lock knob are located on the front of

the cabinet above the blade angle scale. To raise

the saw blade, loosen the handwheel lock knob

(A-Fig. 20) (counterclockwise) and turn the hand-

wheel (B-Fig. 20) clockwise. When the saw blade

is at the desired height, tighten the handwheel

lock knob (clockwise) until it is securely tightened.

To lower the saw blade, loosen the handwheel

lock knob (counterclockwise) and turn the hand-

wheel counterclockwise. When the saw blade is

at the desired height, tighten the handwheel lock

knob (clockwise) until it is securely tightened.

TILTING THE BLADE

The blade angle handwheel and handwheel lock

knob are located on the right side of the cabinet.

To change the saw blade bevel angle, loosen the

handwheel lock knob (A-Fig. 21) (counterclock-

wise), then turn the hand wheel (B-Fig. 21) clock-

wise.

When the saw blade is at its desired degree an-

gle, tighten the handwheel lock knob (clockwise).

To return the saw blade bevel to zero degrees,

loosen the handwheel lock knob (A-Fig. 21)

(counterclockwise) then turn the handwheel

(B-Fig. 21) counterclockwise.

To tilt the blade angle to 45-degrees, loosen the

handwheel lock knob (counterclockwise) and the

adjustment knob and then turn the handwheel

clockwise. When the saw blade is at 45-degrees

it will come into contact with the adjustable posi-

tive stop which will cause the blade to stop.

Tighten the hand-wheel lock knob (clockwise)and

the adjustment knob until it is securely tightened.

ADJUSTING BLADE ANGLE POSITIVE

STOPS

1. Raise the saw blade (A-Fig. 22) to its highest

position using the handwheel on the front

of the saw. (See RAISING AND LOWERING

THE BLADE on page sixteen)

2. Using an angle or combination square (B-Fig.

22) check that the blade is 90 degrees to the

saw table (zero degrees on blade angle scale).

3. If the blade is correctly set 90 degrees to the

table no further adjustment is needed. If further

adjustment is need continue to the next step.

4. Once the blade has been raised and set to

90 degrees (conrm this using your square),

tighten the bevel handwheel lock knob (A-Fig.

23) located on the side of the cabinet. This will

keep the blade from tilting further.

5. If adjustment is necessary: Remove the motor

cover on the left side of the saw and locate the

90 and 45 degree stop set screws at the top of

the cabinet opening, to the right, under the

table.

6. If the blade is not set to 90 degrees when

the set screw (A-Fig. 24) contacts the position

stop, turn the set screw until the blade can be

positioned to 90 degrees.

7. Loosen the blade angle handwheel lock and tilt

the blade to 45 degrees. Using an angle or

combination square (A-Fig. 25), make sure

that the blade is set at 45 degrees.

8. With the blade tilted to 45 degrees, tighten the

bevel handwheel lock knob to keep the blade

from tilting further.

9. If the blade is not set to 45 degrees, when

the set screw (B-Fig. 24) contacts the position

stop, turn the set screw until the blade can be

positioned to 45 degrees. (See BLADE

The blade is set parallel at the factory and should

not need any adjustments. You can check this by

using a dial indicator (not included) or a combina-

tion square (not included). It is recommended to

check the alignment before initial operation as

follows:

THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE

PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN

THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.

1. Raise the saw blade (A-Fig. 26) to its highest

position using the handwheel on the front of

the saw. (See RAISING AND LOWERING

THE BLADE on page sixteen)

2. Place a combination square (B-Fig. 26) on the

saw table with one edge of the square against

the left miter slot (C-Fig. 26).

3. Adjust the square so the rule just touches the

front position of the saw blade. Make sure the

rule is not touching any of the carbide tips of

the saw blade.

4. Keep the rule in this position.

5. Carefully rotate the saw blade back so that

you take the measurement from the same spot

on the saw blade.

6. Take a reading at the rear of the blade (A-Fig.

27) with the combination square. If there is a

dierence of more than. 01” between the rule

and the blade, then an adjustment will have to

be made to the table. See ADJUSTING

BLADE ALIGNMENT on page nineteen.

THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.

1. To align the blade parallel to the miter slot,

loosen six hex socket head screws (A-

Fig. 28) under the front side of the table saw.

This is the same side as the hand wheel (B-

Fig. 28) that raises and lowers the blade.

2. Remove the four End Caps (A-Fig. 29) on the

rear side of the table saw and loosen six hex

socket head screws. Two hex socket head

screws (Positions 1 & 6-Fig. 29) are outside

the cabinet, four are located behind the End

Caps (Positions 2,3,4 & 5-Fig. 29) inside the

cabinet.

3. The saw table is now loose and can be reposi-

tioned until the blade is parallel to the miter

slot. Repeat steps in CHECKING BLADE

ALIGNMENT on page eighteen.

4. When blade is parallel to miter slot, tighten all

twelve hex socket head screws.

5. Recheck blade alignment.

6. Tilt the blade to 45 degrees, and rotate the saw

blade by hand. Make sure the blade does not

contact the table insert.
