GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
(For All Tools)  
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL.  
Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn  
the tool’s applications and limitations, as  
well as the specific potential hazards  
peculiar to it.  
9. USE RIGHT TOOL.  
Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job  
for which it was not designed; for example,  
don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs  
or logs.  
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in work-  
ing order.  
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.  
Wear no loose clothing, gloves, neckties,  
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which  
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip  
footwear is recommended.Wear protective  
hair covering to contain long hair.  
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND  
WRENCHES.  
Form habit of checking to see that keys  
and adjusting wrenches are removed from  
tool before turning it on.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cutting oper-  
ation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only  
have impact resistant lenses, they are  
NOT safety glasses.  
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.  
Cluttered areas and benches invite acci-  
dents.  
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS  
ENVIRONMENT.  
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet loca-  
tions, or expose them to rain. Keep work  
area well lighted. Don’t use tool in pres-  
ence of flammable liquids or gases.  
12. SECURE WORK.  
Use clamps or a vise to hold work when  
practical. It’s safer than using your hand  
and it frees both hands to operate tool.  
13. DON’T OVERREACH.  
Keep proper footing and balance at all  
times.  
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.  
All visitors should be kept safe distance  
from work area.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and  
safest performance. Follow instructions for  
lubricating and changing accessories.  
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF  
with padlocks, master switches, or by  
removing starter keys.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before  
servicing; when changing accessories  
such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.  
8. DON’T FORCE TOOL.  
It will do the job better and safer at the rate  
for which it was designed.  
3
 
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF  
UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.  
Make sure switch is in off position before  
plugging in.  
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING  
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.  
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a com-  
plete stop.  
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCES-  
SORIES.  
22. When servicing use only identical  
replacement parts.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury to  
persons.  
23. POLARIZED PLUGS.  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this  
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade  
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in  
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug  
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the  
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali-  
fied electrician to install the proper outlet.  
Do not change the plug in any way.  
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL.  
Serious injury could occur if the tool is  
tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally  
contacted.  
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.  
Before further use of the tool, a guard or  
other part that is damaged should be care-  
fully checked to determine that it will oper-  
ate properly and perform its intended func-  
tion - check for alignment of moving parts,  
binding of moving parts, breakage of  
parts, mounting, and any other conditions  
that may affect its operation. A guard or  
other part that is damaged should be prop-  
erly repaired or replaced.  
VOLTAGE WARNING:  
Before connecting the tool to a power  
source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure  
the voltage supplied is the same as that  
specified on the nameplate of the tool. A  
power source with voltage greater than  
that specified for the tool can result in  
SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as  
damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT  
PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power  
source with voltage less than the name-  
plate rating is harmful to the motor.  
20. DIRECTION OF FEED.  
Feed work into a blade or cutter against  
the direction of rotation of the blade or cut-  
ter only.  
EXTENSION CORDS.  
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be  
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized  
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1  
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If  
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES  
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict  
adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can  
suffer serious personal injury.  
1. Wear eye protection.  
10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.  
2. Dont use the tool in presence of flam-  
mable liquids or gases.  
11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw  
blade.  
3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive  
cut-off wheel installed.  
12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to  
stand in line with the path of the saw  
blade.  
4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or  
damage before operation. Replace cracked  
or damaged blade immediately.  
13. Make sure the blade is not contacting  
the spreader or workpiece before the  
switch is turned on.  
5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially  
the installing surface) and hex nut before  
installing the blade. Poor installation may  
cause vibration/wobbling or slippage of  
the blade.  
14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let  
the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration  
or wobbling that could indicate poor instal-  
lation or a poorly balanced blade.  
6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for  
every operation for which it can be used,  
including all through sawing operations.  
Always assemble and install the blade guard  
following the step by step instructions out-  
lined in this manual. Through sawing opera-  
tions are those in which the blade cuts  
completely through the workpiece as in  
ripping or cross cutting. NEVER use the  
tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the  
blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any  
irregular operation of the blade guard  
should be corrected immediately.  
15. NEVER make any adjustments while  
tool is running. Disconnect tool before  
making any adjustments.  
16. Use a push stick when required. Push  
sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow  
workpieces to keep your hands and fingers  
well away from the blade.  
17. Pay particular attention to instructions for  
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sud-  
den reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned  
saw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of  
the workpiece from the tool back towards the  
operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERI-  
OUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS  
by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip  
fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the  
spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard  
in place and operating properly, by not releas-  
ing the workpiece until you have pushed it all  
the way past the blade, and by not ripping a  
workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not  
have a straight edge to guide along the  
fence.  
7. Immediately reattach the guard and  
spreader after completing an operation which  
requires removal of the guard.  
8. Do not cut metals such as nails and  
screws.Inspect for and remove all nails,  
screws and other foreign matter from the  
workpiece before operation.  
9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc.  
from the table before the switch is turned on.  
5
 
18. Do not perform any operation freehand.  
Freehand means using your hands to sup-  
port or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip  
fence or miter gauge.  
23. Dont abuse cord. Never yank cord to  
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord  
away from heat, oil, water and sharp  
edges.  
19. NEVER reach around or over saw  
blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece until  
the saw blade has completely stopped.  
24. Some material contains chemicals  
which may be toxic. Take caution to pre-  
vent working dust inhalation and skin con-  
tact. Follow material supplier safety data.  
20. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as  
slowly as possible when cutting hard work-  
pieces. Do not bend or twist workpiece while  
feeding. If you stall or jam the blade in the  
workpiece, turn the tool off immediately.  
Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.  
25. The guard can be lifted during work-  
piece setup and for ease of cleaning.  
Always make sure that guard hood is  
down and flat against sawtable before  
plugging in the tool.  
21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the  
blade or touch the blade guard while the  
blade is running.  
22. Knock out any loose knots from work-  
piece BEFORE beginning to cut.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
WARNING:  
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause  
serious personal injury.

Positioning table saw  
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where  
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should  
be installed in an area that leaves enough room to easi-  
ly handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw  
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work  
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in  
the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table  
saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an  
opening in the top of the work bench the same size as  
the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the saw-  
dust can drop through.

CAUTION:  
When not using the tool, remove the key and store it  
in a secure place. This prevents unauthorized opera-  
tion.  
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that  
the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the  
OFFposition.  
Do not pull the switch lever hard without the key. This  
can cause breakage of the switch.  
CAUTION:  
OPERATION  
Always use work helperssuch as push sticks and  
push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or  
fingers will come close to the blade.  
Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and  
the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it  
while 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 the  
workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a  
complete 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 helperssuch 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 helpers  
Push 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 with  
any part of the body.

Crosscutting  
CAUTION:  
When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from  
the table.  
When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide  
adequate 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.

Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)  
To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter  
gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with  
bolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not  
protrude 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 a  
long board to move or shift on the table. This will  
cause the blade to bind and increase the possibility of  
kickback and personal injury. The support should be at  
the same height as the table.  
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that  
the antikickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tool  
off and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the blade  
guard and along both sides of the blade to simulate cut-  
ting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each side by  
pulling it toward you. The antikickback pawls should  
grab the workpiece and prevent it from moving back  
toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback  
pawls sharp so they will operate properly. Keep them  
sharp 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 thickness  
of the workpiece.  
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and  
lock in place by lowering the grip. Before ripping,  
make sure the rear end of the rip fence is secured  
firmly. If it is not secured enough, follow the proce-  
dures in Installing and adjusting rip fencedescribed  
on page 11 and 12.  
16  
 
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into  
the 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 workpiece  
in 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.

CAUTION:  
For a 1/8cut width, the outside cutter is assembled to  
the spindle in the same manner as the saw blade.  
The outer flange or the dado outer flange must be  
used for each cut width.  
The hex nut alone must not be used to secure the  
dado on to the spindle.  
20  
 
NOTE:  
When widths slightly greater than the above are  
required, fit the paper washers in between the inside  
and outside cutters to adjust the width.  
5. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cut-  
ters are positioned at the gullets of the outside cutter.  
When more than one inside cutter is used, space  
the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation  
to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause  
vibration and noise.

When installing two outside cutters without any inside  
cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each  
other.  
6. While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain the  
even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters.  
7. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make sure  
that it does not contact anything before operation.  
When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown  
illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard.  
It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is  
free of knots or cracks.

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

To install featherboards, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the tool off and unplug it.

2. Add 8high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full  
length of the rip fence.  
1. CClamps  
2. Facing board  
3. Featherboard  
4. Push stick  
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 is  
completed, and the workpiece has been pushed  
completely 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 Model  
2702/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 table  
saw.  
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 wide  
grooves or dados. If a deep cut is needed, make several  
passes 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 from  
view while cutting, your hands should never be on top  
of the stock.  
A very dangerous throwback can result if the wood  
becomes stuck and you try to remove it by pulling  
toward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dado  
head to come to a complete stop. Then simply with-  
draw the wood.  
WARNING:  
Use extra caution when the guard assembly is  
removed for any non-through sawing operation such  
as dadoing, rabbeting or resawing. Replace guard  
immediately after non-through sawing is completed.  
22  
 
How to perform rabbeting  
1. Remove blade guard.  
1
3
2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run the  
length of the stock. Facing should be as high as the  
workpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade to desired  
dimensions.  
2
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 or  
related work.)  
1. Rabbet  
2. First cut  
3. Second cut  
5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece is less than  
10-1/2wide, rest the wood flat on the table against  
the miter gauge (with wood facing). The rip fence  
should not be used.  
6. After rabbeting is completed, immediately re-install  
the blade guard as before.
