SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual
carefully. Learn the tool’s applications, work capabilities,
and its specic 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

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 qualied 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 qualied 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. *
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 240
volt electrical receptacle. FIGURE A shows the type of the
240V, 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that
has a grounding conductor. See page 25 for the wiring
diagram.
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 240V
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 certied SJT type or better.
** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
Consult a qualied
electrician if the
distance of the
machine from the
electrical panel is
greater than 30 feet.
FIG. A
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 male
cord (A-Fig. 19) into three hole outlet of the
female 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 left 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 (conrm 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 it will be done
through the surface of the tabletop. The 90
degree stop adjustment is located within the
left miter slot. The 45 degree stop is located
next to the right miter slot.
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
ANGLE SCALE ARROW ADJUSTMENT on
page twenty for setting of the angle scale
arrow position.)

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
dierence 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.

PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN
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 three End Caps (A-Fig. 29) on the
rear side of the table saw and loosen six hex
socket head screws. Three hex socket head
screws (Positions 1, 5 & 6-Fig. 29) are outside
the cabinet, three are located behind the End
Caps (Positions 2, 3, & 4-Fig. 29) inside the
cabinet. NOTE: Open the Motor Cover to gain
access to Position #1.
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.
