Safety Instructions for Table Saws
1.SAFETY GUARDS. Always use the blade guard, splitter, and
2.KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you have a clear under- standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!
3.REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never reach behind or over the blade while the saw is running. Hands or arms could be pulled into the saw blade if kickback occurs.
4.WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the workpiece is stable on the table and is sup- ported by the rip fence or the miter gauge during cutting operations. DO NOT perform any cutting operations
5.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use push sticks,
6.OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or have any part of your body directly
7.COMFORTABLE POSITION. Avoid opera- tions and hand positions where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
8.CROSSCUTTING OPERATIONS. Remove the rip fence whenever using the miter gauge to crosscut a workpiece.
9.
10.BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade to the proper height above the workpiece.
11.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide ade- quate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
12.DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or other- wise damaged.
13.DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS Dado and rabbeting operations require special attention because those operations must be performed with the blade guard removed. Be especially aware of your per- sonal safety whenever operating saw with the guard removed, and always immedi- ately replace the blade guard after these operations are complete.
14.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Service Department at (570)
