[. . . ] WARNING "READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. USE SAFETY GOGGLES Also face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, and ear plugs during extended periods of operation. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. [. . . ] To prevent personal injury, always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustments. The rip fence must be parallel with the SAWBLADE in order to prevent KICKBACK when ripping. Once the adjustments below have been made, the rip fence will self align when the fence is locked into position. NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the miter gauge slots (see page 18) and be perpendicular to table before proceeding with rip fence alignment. Raise lock handle 1 and slide fence 3 until it is alongside the sawblade, by lifting right side pawl 4 above fence (Fig. The fence should touch the blade teeth at the front and rear of the blade. If fence does not touch the teeth at front and rear of blade continue with the following the steps: 3. Loosen the two screws 5 on the top front section of the rip fence using the included 5mm hex wrench. Hold fence in place and lower lock handle, check to make sure the fence stayed parallel to the blade then tighten screws (Fig. If rear is not clamped securely, unclamp fence and turn rear clamp adjustment screw 6 clockwise for increased clamping. Try clamping the fence to verify if it self aligns and clamps tightly at the front and rear. Overtightening may cause friction or "chatter" when fence is moved side to side. The distance of the rip fence body from the blade when ripping on the right side of the blade is determined by lining the pointer 7 with the desired dimension on the scale 8 (Fig. Raise lock handle 1 and slide fence 3 until it is alongside the sawblade, by lifting right side pawl 4 above fence (Fig. Loosen pointer adjustment screw 9, adjust pointer 7 to "0" mark on lower scale 8, then re-tighten screw 9 (Fig. IMPORTANT: The Riving Knife 1 must always be in line with the Saw Blade 2. The Riving Knife 1 is thinner than the width of the Kerf 4 by approximately three thicknesses of paper 5 on each side (Fig. Note: The Kerf is the width of the cut made by the teeth on the saw blade. To prevent personal injury, always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustments and when attaching or removing the Smart Guard System. NOTE: The Riving Knife has been properly aligned at the factory Check the alignment before making any adjustments. From the top, look down over the Fence and check that the Riving Knife is in line (front to back) with the blade and parallel with the fence. Look over the front of the blade and check that the Riving Knife is in line with the blade. [. . . ] ADJUSTABLE OR WOBBLE DADO SETS To reduce the risk of injury, do not use adjustable or "wobble" dado sets on this saw. Adjustable dado sets can be easily set to positions that may interfere with working components of this saw. This table saw is a highly versatile tool, capable of performing a wide range of highly specialized cuts that cannot be covered in this manual. Do not attempt to perform cuts not covered in this manual unless you are thoroughly familiar with procedures and fixturing. [. . . ]
