Safety Instructions for Table Saws
1.SAFETY GUARDS. Always make sure the blade guard and riving knife are installed when operating the table saw.
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 sled 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.HAND POSITIONING. Avoid operations and hand positions where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
8.CROSSCUTTING LIMITATIONS. DO NOT crosscut workpieces narrower than 6" with this machine. Narrow workpieces are dif- ficult to properly support when using the fence as a guide. Instead, use a different machine that can safely crosscut a narrow workpiece (miter saw or bandsaw).

10.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide ade- quate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
11.DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or other- wise damaged.
12.AVOID DADO, RESAW, AND RABBET OPERATIONS ON THIS MACHINE. This machine is not designed to perform dado or rabbet cuts. Attempting to make these cuts on this machine is dangerous. Instead, find an alternative machine to make these types of cuts (router or jointer).
13.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570)
