25. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
3
TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and antikickback pawls for every through sawing operation.
Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade
cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or
cross-cutting.
2. ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter
gauge or rip fence.
3. USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push
stick especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to
ripping instructions in this Owner’s Manual where the
push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for making your
own push stick is included.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION ”FREE
HAND”, 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 KICK-BACK & 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. REMOVE the rip fence when cross cutting.
8. DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of
rotation only.
10. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE without first turning the saw OFF and unplugging
the saw. Turn the power switch OFF immediately to
prevent motor damage.
12. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the
sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
13. 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 it has passed all the way past the saw
blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide it along the fence. Do not
attempt to back up one of saw cut with the blade running.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into
the saw blade.
15. 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.
16. MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before
performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY
instructions.
17. NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make
hazardous dust.
18. ALWAYS USE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA.
Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the
interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.
Attach a vacuum to the dust port for additional sawdust
removal.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not
leave the saw until it comes to a complete stop.
20. For proper operation follow the instructions in this
Owner’s Manual entitled “ASSEMBLE TABLE SAW TO
STAND”. Note: On machines with no stand or if stand is
not being used, a hole approximately 8” square must be cut
under saw to allow saw dust to fall through. Failure to cut
this hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area
resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
! CAUTION
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
table saw, use proper circuit protection. Always use a
separate electrical circuit for your tools. This power tool is
wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect it to a
120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace the cord
immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This saw is equipped
with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged
into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
! CAUTION
Any extension cord must be GROUNDED for safe
operation.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
(wire) with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes)
is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

you are not sure the saw is properly grounded.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE 3PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE GROUNDING
RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE SAW’S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORDS
IMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be grounded
(3 wire with two flat prongs and one round ground prong).
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, make sure you use one heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table above shows the correct size to use
according to extension cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The
smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
NOTE: THE 12 TO 16 AMP RATING IS CORRECT FOR
THIS TOOL. IT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TABLE
ABOVE.

OPERATION
SAW SWITCH
! CAUTION
Have you read “POWER TOOL SAFETY” and
“TABLE SAW SAFETY” on pages 3 and 4 of this
Manual? If not, please do it now before you
operate this saw. Your safety depends on it!
The switch (2) is located on the front panel of the saw base (see
Fig. 22). To turn the saw ON move the switch to the up
position. To turn the saw OFF move the switch to the down
position.
LOCKING SWITCH IN “OFF” POSITION
Every time you use the saw you should verify
the following:
1. Blade is tight.
2. Bevel angle locking knob is tight.
3. If ripping, fence locking knob is tight and
fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove
4. If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight.
5. Blade guard and splitter are in place and
working properly.
6. Safety glasses are being worn.
When the saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the
OFF position. To lock the switch in the OFF position, simply
pull out the safety key (1) from the center of the switch (see Fig.
22). The saw will not start with the key removed. However, if
the key is removed while the switch is in the ON position, it
can be turned off ONCE. The saw will not restart until the key
has been reinserted into the switch.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This saw is equipped with a resetable overload relay button
(see Fig. 22). If the motor shuts off or fails to start due to
overloading or low voltage, turn the switch to OFF position and
let the motor cool down for at least five minutes. After the
motor has cooled down, push the reset button (3) to reset the
overload device. The saw should now start when the switch is
returned to the ON position.
! CAUTION
To avoid injury, the ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF
position and the plug removed from the power source while
the motor cool down takes place. This will prevent
accidental starting when the reset button is pushed.
Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts, a dull
blade, or an undersized extention cord (see chart on page 5).
Inspect the saw for proper setup before using it again.
Failure to adhere to these safety rules can
greatly increase the chances of injury.
Before using the table saw, polish the table with an
automotive wax to keep it clean and make it easier to slide
the workpiece.
There are two basic types of table saw cuts: ripping and
crosscutting. In general, ripping is cutting with the grain along
the length of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either
across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. However,
with manmade materials this distinction can be difficult to
make. Therefore, cutting a piece of wood to a different width
is ripping and cutting across the short dimension is crosscutting.
Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand.
Ripping requires the use of the rip fence and crosscutting
requires the use of the miter gauge.
RIPPING
! CAUTION
To prevent serious injury:
• Do not allow familiarity gained from 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 the path of
the blade.
• The workpiece must have a straight edge against the
fence and must not be warped, twisted or bowed.

1. Remove the miter gauge and secure the rip fence to the
table.
2. Adjust the blade so it is about 1/8” higher than the
workpiece.

OPERATION
RIPPING – cont’d
RIPPING – cont’d
3. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence.
Keep the workpiece about 1” back from the blade.
4. Turn the saw ON and allow the blade to come up to full
speed.
5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will pass
between the blade and the fence (see Fig. 23).
!
7. The push stick should always be used when the ripped
workpiece is 2” or narrower.
8. Continue pushing the workpiece with the push stick until it
passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.
9. Never pull the workpiece back while the blade is turning.
Turn the switch OFF. When the blade completely stops,
raise the anti-kickback fingers on each side of the splitter if
necessary and slide the workpiece out.
BEVEL RIPPING
CAUTION
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing only on the section of
workpiece that will pass between the blade and the fence.
This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is
set to an angle other than 0o.
!
CAUTION
Cut only with the workpiece and the fence on the right
hand side of the blade.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
!
CAUTION
Avoid injury resulting from blade contact. Never make
through-saw cuts narrower than ½” wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your
hands close to the blade. To ensure your safety, rip the
small piece from a larger piece.
Fig. 23
6. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your
thumbs touch the front edge of the table(2), finish the cut
(1) with a push stick (3) (see Fig. 24). Make a push stick
using the pattern on page 27 of this Owner’s Manual.
Fig. 24
2. When a small width is to be ripped and the hand
cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip
fence, use one or more push sticks. Use the push sticks
to hold the workpiece against the table top and fence
and push the workpiece fully past the blade (see Fig.
23).

This operation is the same as crosscutting except the bevel
angle is set to an angle other than 0o.
1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle and tighten the
blade bevel locking knob (see Fig.26).
2. Always work to the left side of the blade. The miter gauge
(3) must be in the left side groove (2). It cannot be used in
the right side groove unless the miter angle is very sharp,
as it will interfere with the blade guard.
2. Adjust the blade (1) so it is about 1/8” higher than the
workpiece (see Fig. 25).
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the
path of the blade in line with the desired cut location.
Keep the workpiece about 1” back from the blade.
4. Start the saw motor and allow the blade to come up to full

dado blades.
1.
Set the miter gauge to the desired angle (see Fig. 27).
2.
2.
Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the miter gauge (3).
When making dado cuts, a dado insert plate must be
installed in place of the regular table insert. Be sure the
rear end of dado insert plate is level with the table.
3.
Feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (1) to prevent the
workpiece from shifting.
3.
Instructions for operating the dado are packed with the
separately purchased dado.
4.
The arbor (1) of this saw restricts the maximum width of
dado cut to ½” (see Fig.29).
5.
NOTE: Make sure the arbor nut is tight and at least one
thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut.
6.
Use only a 6” stackable dado set and keep the width to ½”
or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade guard and
splitter when using the dado.
!
CAUTION
Use caution when the dado is running. You have no guard
to protect you. Also, adjustable or wobble dado’s can NOT
be used on this machine.
Fig. 27
COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING
This cutting operation combines a miter angle with a bevel
angle.

OPERATION & BLADE SELECTION
USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE
BLADE SELECTION - cont’d
When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood
facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2) (see Fig. 30).
Smaller diameter blades may be used, while they will result in
a reduced cutting depth, their use will increase the output of the
motor.
1.
Use a smooth ¾” thick board (1) that is as long as the rip
fence.
2.
Attach the wood facing to the rip fence with wood screws
(3) through the holes in the fence.
A wood facing should be used when ripping material such as
thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the
bottom of the fence and the table.
Combination blades
• Tend to be general purpose blades
• Work fairly well in most applications
• Somewhat rough cutting
Crosscut blades
• Designed primarily for crosscutting
• Somewhat smoother than combination blades
Rip blades
• Used for ripping
• Very good for thick materials
• Very rough if used for crosscutting
Plywood blades
• Smooth cutting in both rip and crosscut applications
• Good for thin wood as well as plywood
• Set-tooth type is more economical than hollow ground
type tooth
• Not limited in cutting depth
Planer blades
• Generally are hollow ground
• Very smooth cuts in thin material
• Limited depth of cut due to hollow ground construction
• Not recommended for rip cuts
Fig. 30
BLADE SELECTION
There are many different types of blades with differing tooth
configurations, tooth counts and materials. Some of the more
common types are shown below.
!
Carbide tipped blades
• Stay sharp much longer
• Available in all types listed above
• Carbide is brittle and must not be used on any material that
may contain nails, screws etc.
CAUTION
ABRASIVE AND METAL CUTTING BLADES MUST
NOT BE USED WITH THIS SAW
This saw was not made to cut metals or masonry materials.
Doing so may result in injury. It will also void the
warranty.
!
CAUTION
ALL BLADES MUST:
1. BE RATED AT 5300 RPM OR HIGHER
2. HAVE A 5/8” ARBOR HOLE
3. BE NO LARGER THAN 10” IN DIAMETER

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
!
CAUTION
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the
switch key. Remove the plug from the power source before
maintaining or lubricating your saw.
1.
Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the saw
base and around the motor.
2.
Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep it
clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.
3.
Clean the cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
4.
Immediately replace a worn, cut or damaged power cord.
Fig. 31
!
CAUTION
All electrical and mechanical repairs should be performed
by a trained repair technician. Contact Tradesman
Specialists for your nearest Authorized Service Center. Use
only identical replacement parts. Any substitute parts may
create a hazard.
Place a small amount of dry lubricant such as graphite or
silicone on the screw rod (1) at the thrust washer (5). Do not
oil threads of screw rod. The screw rod must be kept clean and
free of sawdust, gum, pitch and other contaminants for smooth
operation. Wet lubricants such as oil will attract sawdust etc.
5.
Use a liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all
plastic parts.
NOTE: Use of certain cleaning chemicals may damage
plastic parts.
If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of the blade
raising or tilting mechanisms, contact the customer service
department at Tradesman for proper adjustment procedures.
6.
Do not use the following cleaning chemicals or solvents on
your table saw: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, clorinated
solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
LUBRICATION
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
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 is present,
lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubticants will
not hold sawdust as will oil or grease.
After each five hours of operation, the blade raising and tilting
mechanisms should be checked for looseness, binding or other
abnormalities. With the saw disconnected from the power
source, turn the saw upside down and alternately pull upward
and downward on the motor unit. Observe any movement in
the motor mounting mechanism. Looseness or play in the
blade raising screw (1) should be adjusted as follows (see Fig.
31):
1.
Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen jam nut (2).
2.
Adjust nut (3) until it is finger tight against the bracket (4),
then back off the nut (3) 1/6 turn.
3.
Tighten jam nut (2) with a wrench while holding nut (3) in
place. Maximum allowable play in screw rod (1) is 4mm.
