The W1875 Benchtop Table Saw boasts a 2 HP motor to power through your ripping, crosscutting, and miter cutting needs. The built-in folding stand offers easy portability and quick setup at job sites, and all accessories mount directly to the saw body for easy transport and storage. The extension table expands up to 27 in. W for ripping large workpieces. The handwheel performs two functions as it adjusts the blade height from 0-3-1/2 in. It rotates clockwise to raise blade; rotate counterclockwise to lower blade. Push it inward and rotate to adjust the angle blade from 0°-45°. Rotating the micro-adjustment knob finely adjusts the distance between the aluminum fence and the blade. The quick-release blade guard prevents hands and fingers from contacting the blade. Anti-kickback pawls and the spreader reduce the risk of kickback. Saw dust is diverted to and through a 2-1/2 in. dust port.The manual was written by our U.S.-based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information. The complete and easy-to-read manual makes it easier to assemble and maintain your machine. The Customer Service and Technical Support Teams are also U.S.-based. Parts for this machine may be available online and shipped from the parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
