TABLE SAW SAFETY

1.ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, splitter and anti- kickback pawls for every operation for which they can be used, including through sawing. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or crosscutting.

2.ALWAYS HOLD WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

3.USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push stick especially when ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping instructions in this Operator’s Manual where the push stick is covered in detail. A pattern for making your own push stick is included on page 26.

4.NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION “FREE HAND”, which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

WARNING: FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF KICK-BACK & FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.

5.NEVER STAND or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the saw blade path.

6.NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason.

7.REMOVE the rip fence when crosscutting.

8.DO NOT USE a molding head with this saw.

9.FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the direction of rotation only.

10.NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor damage.

12.PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence parallel to the saw blade and by keeping the splitter, anti- kickback pawls and guards in place, aligned and functioning. Do not release work before it has passed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it along the fence.

14.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the saw blade.

15.NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.

16.MOUNT your table saw on a bench or stand before performing any cutting operations. Refer to ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 12.

17.NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.

18.ALWAYS USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard. Attach a vacuum to the dust port for additional sawdust removal.

19.NEVER LEAVE THE SAW running unattended. Do not leave the saw until it comes to a complete stop.

20.For proper operation follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual entitled ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS (Page 12). Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area resulting in a fire hazard and potential motor damage.
