Additional Safety for Table Saws

SAFETY

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.SAFETY GUARDS. Always use the blade guard, splitter, and anti-kickback fingers on ''through-saw- ing'' operations. The blade cuts completely through the top of the workpiece on through-sawing 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 understanding 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 supported by the rip fence or the miter gauge during cutting operations. DO NOT perform any cutting operations free- hand.

5.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, and other devices to increase cutting safety.

6.OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or have any part of your body directly in-line with the cutting path of the saw blade.

7.COMFORTABLE POSITION. Avoid operations and hand positions where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.

8.CROSSCUTTING. Remove the rip fence whenever using the miter gauge to crosscut a workpiece.

9.CUT-OFF PIECES. Stop the blade before removing cut-off pieces.

10.BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade to the proper height above the workpiece.

11.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide adequate 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 otherwise damaged.

13.DADOS 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 personal safety whenever operating saw with the guard removed, and always immediately replace the blade guard after these operations are complete.
