OPERATION
To reduce the risk of personal injury, turn
unit off and disconnect it from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW
Make sure that the saw has been turned
"OFF" before plugging cord into outlet. Do not touch
the plug’s metal prongs when unplugging or plugging
in the cord.
1. The POWER switch (X) Fig. 19 is located underneath
the front left extension wing. To turn the saw "ON",
push the round button (X) Fig. 19.
2. To turn the saw "OFF", push the button (Y) Fig. 19.
LOCKING SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the saw
should be turned off and the "ON" button locked out to
prevent unauthorized use. To lock out “ON” button, use a
standard long shackle lock (Z) Fig. 20, with a shackle that
is at least 2-3/4" (70 mm) long and with shackle posts no
larger than 9/32" (7 mm) thick.
In the event of a power outage (such as
a breaker or fuse trip), always move the switch to the
"OFF" position until the main power is restored.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your saw is supplied with overload protection. If the
motor shuts off or fails to start due to overloading (cutting
stock too fast, using a dull blade, using the saw beyond
its capacity, etc.) or low voltage, let the motor cool three
to five minutes. The overload will automatically reset itself
and the machine can then be started again by pressing
the "ON" button.

loosen the lock knob (BB) Fig. 21 by turning it counter-
clockwise.

Tighten lock knob (BB) Fig. 21 to keep blade raised to your desired height. Only a small amount of force is required to lock
the blade raising mechanism securely. Any added force merely puts unnecessary strain on the locking device.
For most applications, it is recommended that you raise the blade 1/8" (3.2 mm) to 1/4" (6.4 mm) above the top surface of
the workpiece, as shown in Fig. 22. ( NOTE: Guard removed for clarity only.)
NOTE: With hollow-ground blades, raise the blade to its maximum height to provide greater clearance.
Lock the blade in position before starting the saw.
