Additional Safety Instructions for Rip Saws
1.BLADE GUARD. Always use the blade guard on all cutting operations.
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 saw!
3.WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the table and is supported by the rip fence during cutting operations.
4.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protec- tion to make cutting operations safe.
5.OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or have any part of your body directly
6.STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw off and disconnect from the power source before attempting to "free" a stalled saw blade.
7.COMFORTABLE CUTTING OPERATIONS. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the conveyor track.
8.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Service Department at (570)
9.DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or dam- aged; otherwise, serious personal injury could occur.
Like all machines there is danger associ- ated with the Model G0524. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
