Safety Instructions for Basic Saw Operations (continued)

Whenever Sawblade Is Spinning

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your table saw) cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

Before actually cutting with the saw, watch it while it runs for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turns toward the front of the saw.

Keep Children Away.

Keep all visitors a safe distance from the table saw.

Make sure bystanders are clear of the table saw and workpiece.

Don’t Force Tool.

Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

Feed the workpiece into the saw only fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.

Before freeing jammed material.

Turn switch “OFF”.

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Unplug the saw.

Check blade, spreader and fence for proper alignment before starting again.

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.

Work Feed Devices

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the "Basic Saw Operations".

As you learn new table saw woodworking techniques, you’ll see that many types of cuts need different supportand feeding devices, known as jigs or fixtures.They can help you make cuts more accurately. By helping to steady the workpiece and keep you away from the blade, they can help you safely use your saw for certain cuts.

Many people custom build their own jigs and fixtures. Jigs and fixtures are often designed for a particular cut.

You can use your table saw to easily make many jigs and fixtures. To get you started, we've included instructions for some simple ones. After you have made a few practice cuts, make up these jigs before starting any projects.

The use of these devices is explained in "Basic Saw Operation" section.
