Safety Instructions For Table Saws (continued)

To reduce the risk of throwback of cut off pieces.

• Use the guard assembly.

To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped inside the guard.

•Turn saw “OFF”.

•Remove switch key.

•Wait for blade to stop before lifting the guard.

Before Leaving The Saw.

•Turn the saw off.

•Wait for blade to stop spinning.

•Unplug the saw.

•Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

Additional Safety Instructions For:

Rip Type Cuts.

•Never use the miter gauge when rip- ping. Store the miter gauge in the area provided in the base.

•Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 inches or more from the blade.

•When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2 inches from the blade.

•Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See “Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Rip- ping” sections.)

•Never rip anything shorter than 10” long.

•When using a push stick or push block, the trailing end of the board must be square. A push stick or block against an uneven end could slip off or push the work away from the fence.

•A Featherboard can help guide the workpiece. (see ”Basic Saw Opera- tion-Using Featherboards for Thru- Sawing.” section)

•Always use featherboards for any non thru rip type cuts. (See “Basic Saw Operations - Using Feather- boards for Non-Thru Sawing” sec- tion).

Featherboard

See “Work Feed Devices” section for Material and Dimensions

Before Starting.

•To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.

•Before thru-sawing, check the anti- kickback pawls. The pawls must stop a kickback once it has started. Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points become dull. (See “Maintaining Your Table Saw - Anti-Kickback Pawls” section.)

•Plastic and composition (like hard- board) materials may be cut on your saw. However, since these are usu- ally quite hard and slippery, the anti- kickback pawls may not stop a kick- back. Therefore, be especially care- ful in your setup and cutting procedures.

While Thru-sawing.

•To reduce the risk of kickbacks and slips into the blade, always push for- ward on the section of the work- piece between the sawblade and the rip fence. Never push forward on the piece being cut off or directly in line with the blade.
