ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strictadherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you cansuffer serious personal injury.

1. Wear eye protection. 10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.

2. Don't use the tool in presence of flam-mable liquids or gases.

11. Keep hands out of the line of the sawblade.

3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasivecut-off wheel installed.

4. Check the blade carefully for cracks ordamage before operation. Replace crackedor damaged blade immediately.

5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especiallythe installing surface) and hex nut beforeinstalling the blade. Poor installation maycause vibration/wobbling or slippage ofthe blade.

12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else tostand in line with the path of the sawblade.

13. Make sure the blade is not contactingthe spreader or workpiece before theswitch is turned on.

14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, letthe tool run for a while. Watch for vibrationor wobbling that could indicate poor instal-lation or a poorly balanced blade.

6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader forevery operation for which it can be used,including all through sawing operations.Always assemble and install the blade guardfollowing the step by step instructions out-lined in this manual. Through sawing opera-tions are those in which the blade cutscompletely through the workpiece as inripping or cross cutting. NEVER use thetool with a faulty blade guard or secure theblade guard with a rope, string, etc. Anyirregular operation of the blade guardshould be corrected immediately.

7. Immediately reattach the guard andspreader after completing an operation whichrequires removal of the guard.

8. Do not cut metals such as nails andscrews.Inspect for and remove all nails,screws and other foreign matter from theworkpiece before operation.

9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc.from the table before the switch is tumed on.

15. NEVER make any adjustments whiletool is running. Disconnect tool beforemaking any adjustments.

16. Use a push stick when required. Pushsticks MUST be used for ripping narrowworkpieces to keep your hands and fingerswell away from the blade.

17. Pay particular attention to instructions forreducing riskof KICKBACK.KICKBACKis a sud-den reaction to a pinched, bound or misalignedsaw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection ofthe workpiece from the tool back towards theoperator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERI-OUS PERSONAL INJURY.Avoid KICKBACKSby keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the ripfence parallel to the blade, by keeping thespreader, antikickback pawls and blade guardin place and operating properly, by not releas-ing the workpiece until you have pushed it allthe way past the blade, and by not ripping aworkpiece that is twisted or warped or does nothave a straight edge to guide along thefence.

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see thatthe switch lever actuates properly and returns to the"OFF" position.

• Do not pull the switch lever hard without the key. Thiscan cause breakage of the switch.

OPERATION CAUTION:

• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks andpush blocks when there is a danger that your hands orfingers will come close to the blade.

• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table andthe rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist itwhile feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dan-gerous kickbacks may occur.

• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is run-ning. If you must withdraw the workpiece before com-pleting a cut, first switch the tool off while holding theworkpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to acomplete stop before withdrawing the workpiece.Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.

• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is run-

ning.• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of the

saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel cuts.• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous kick-

backs may occur.• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and

push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces,or when the dado head is hidden from view while cut-

ting.

Work helpersPush sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts with-out the need for the operator to contact the blade withany part of the body.

Wood facing (rip fence)

A wood facing should be used for operations when theblade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the ripfence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make surethe bottom of facing is flush with the table surface.

Crosscutting

CAUTION:

• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence fromthe table.

• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provideadequate support to the sides of the table. The sup-port should be at the same height as the table.

• Always keep hands away from path of blade.

Miter gaugeUse the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown inthe figure.

CAUTION:

• Secure the knob on the miter gauge carefully.• Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm workhold-

ing arrangement, especially when cutting at an angle.• NEVER hold or grasp the intended "cut-off" portion of

the workpiece.

Use of miter gaugeSlide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table.Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desiredangle (0° to 60°). Bring stock flush up against fence andfeed gently forward into the blade.

15

Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)

To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the mitergauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten withbolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must notprotrude from the face board.

Ripping

CAUTION:

• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table.• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide

adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow along board to move or shift on the table. This willcause the blade to bind and increase the possibility ofkickback and personal injury. The support should be atthe same height as the table.

Before operating the table saw, check to be sure thatthe antikickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tooloff and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the bladeguard and along both sides of the blade to simulate cut-ting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each side bypulling it toward you. The antikickback pawls shouldgrab the workpiece and prevent it from moving backtoward the operator. Always keep the antikickbackpawls sharp so they will operate properly. Keep themsharp by using a round-shaped file to maintain the origi-nal shape of the pawls.

1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thicknessof the workpiece.

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip andlock in place by lowering the grip. Before ripping,make sure the rear end of the rip fence is securedfirmly. If it is not secured enough, follow the proce-dures in "Installing and adjusting rip fence" describedon page 11 and 12.

16

3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece intothe blade along with the rip fence.

(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6") and wider,carefully use your right hand to feed the work-piece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiecein position against the rip fence.

(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2"- 6") wide, use the push stick to feed the work-piece.

1. Push stick

(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm(2-1/2"), the push stick cannot be used becausethe push stick will strike the blade guard. Use theauxiliary fence and push block.Attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence withtwo "C" clamps.

Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in con-tact with the rip fence and table as shown, and to stopkickbacks.

To install featherboards, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the tool off and unplug it.2. Add 8" high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full

length of the rip fence.3. Mount featherboards to the rip fence and table as

shown, so that the leading edges of the feather-boards will support the workpiece until the cut iscompleted, and the workpiece has been pushedcompletely past the cutter with a push stick.

4. Make sure featherboards are securely attached.

CAUTION:

• Only the Makita dado head set (Part No. 191543-4)should be used with Makita table saw Model2702/Model 2703. Do not use dado combinations

wider than 13 mm (1/2").• After dadoing, ALWAYS replace the blade guard with

the spreader back in its original position on the tablesaw.

• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.• NEVER dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a strange

noise.

• NEVER attempt dados in other than wood.• Do not use the dado set for cut-offs.

• Feed work slowly, especially when cutting deep or widegrooves or dados. If a deep cut is needed, make severalpasses through the workpiece rather than one deep,wide cut. Fast or abrupt feeds can be dangerous.

• Use a push stick. When the dado head is hidden fromview while cutting, your hands should never be on topof the stock.

• A very dangerous throwback can result if the woodbecomes stuck and you try to remove it by pullingtoward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dadohead to come to a complete stop. Then simply with-draw the wood.

WARNING:

• Use extra caution when the guard assembly isremoved for any non-through sawing operation suchas dadoing, rabbeting or resawing. Replace guardimmediately after non4hrough sawing is completed.

How to perform rabbeting1. Remove blade guard.2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run the

length of the stock. Facing should be as high as theworkpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade to desireddimensions.

3. First cut: Hold board flat on table as in ordinary rip-ping.

4. Second cut: Set workpiece on its edge. (Use feather-boards, push stick, push block and so on, using pre-cautions, safety rules and guidelines for ripping orrelated work.)

5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece is less than10-1/2" wide, rest the wood flat on the table againstthe miter gauge (with wood facing). The rip fenceshould not be used.

6. After rabbeting is completed, immediately re-installthe blade guard as before.

Table saw stand (Part No. 192680-7)

Place the stays on a level location and assemble thelegs inside. Secure with the bolts and nuts, then attachthe rubber caps to the ends of the legs.

Now set the table saw on top of the assembled standand secure with four bolts, washers and nuts.
