ADDDTaONAL SAFETY RNSTRUCTSONS FOR TABLE SAWS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT

OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY

ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE

INSTRUCTIONSAND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ

AND UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING,

1, GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS .... SEE PAGE 2

6_ STABILITY OF SAW

if there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or move

during certain cutting operations such as cutting

extremely large heavy panels or long heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down

if you attach any kind of table extensions over 24" wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either

bolt the saw to the bench or floor as appropriate, or

support the outer end of the extension from the bench or floor, as appropriate.,

7o LOCATION

The saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in Iine with the saw blade

spreader in place for al! "THRU-SAWING"

operations (sawing entirely thru the work) AND by

removing all loose pieces from the table with a long

stick of wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off,

D Use extra caution when the guard assembly is

removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting, or

molding - replace the guard as soon as that operation is completed

E For rip or rip*type cuts, the following end of a

workpiece to which a push stick or push board is

applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick or block does not cause the

workpiece to come away from the fence, and possibly cause a kickback

F.During rip and rip type cuts, the workplece must be

held down on the table and against the fence with a

push stick, push block, or featherboards A

featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch..

8o KICKBACKS

A

"KICKBACK"

occurs

during

a rip-type

operation

when

a

part or aU

of

the workpiece

is

thrown

back

violently

toward

the

operator

Keep

your

face and

body

to

one

side

of

the

sawblade,

out

of

line

with

a possible

"Kickback

"

Kickbacks

-

and

possible

injury

from

them

- can

usually

be avoided by:

A

Maintaining

the

rip

fence

parallel

to

the

sawblade

BKeeping the sawbiade sharp, Repfacing antikickback pawls when points become dull

CKeeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback pawts in place and operating properly. The spreader

must be in alignment with the sawblade and the

pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.

Check their action before ripping.

DNOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence

ENOT releasing work untii you have pushed it all the way past the sawblade

F. Using a "PUSH STICK" (See Page T6) for ripping widths of 2 to 6 in, and an auxiliary fence and push block for ripping widths narrower than 2 in (See "Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence" section }

G NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or crosscutting.

H When ripping apply the feed force to the section of

the workpiece between the saw bfade and the rip

fence

9, PROTECTION:

EYES,

HANDS,

FACE,

EARS,

BODY

A If any

part

of your

saw

is malfunctioning,

has

been

damaged or

broken

such

as the motor

switch, or

other

operating

control,

a

safety

device

or

the

power

cord

cease

operating

immediately

until

the

particular

part

is

properly

repaired

or replaced

B. Wear

safety

goggles that comply with ANSI Z87 1,

and

a

face

shield

if

operation

is dusty. Wear ear

p[ugs

or

muffs

during

extended

periods

of

operation

C. Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that

contact

the

rear

of

the

revolving

blade

can

be

thrown back at the operator at excessive speed. This can usually be avoided by keeping the guard and

G NEVER turn the saw "'ON" before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the

workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned

H NEVER place your face or body in line with the

cutting tool..

I, NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade or other cutting tooI.

JNEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason Avoid

awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool

K_

DO

NOT

perform

layout,

assembly,

or

setup

work

on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

L.

DO

NOT

perform

any

operation

"FREEHAND"

-

always

use

either

the

rip or

the

miter

gauge

to

position and guide the work

M_

NEVER

use the rip

fence

when

crosscutting

or

the

miter

gauge

when

ripping.DO

NOT

use

the

rip

fence

as a

length

stop

NEVER

hold onto or touch the "free end" of the

workplece

or

a

"free

piece"

that

_s cut

off,

while

Dower is "ON" and!or the sawblade is rotating.

N

Shut

"OFF"

the

saw and

disconnect

the

power

cord

when

removing

the

table

insert,

changing

the

cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade guard,

or making adjustments.

O..

Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of

the saw table for wider

or

long

workpieces.

P

PIastic and

composition

(like

hardboard)

materials

may be cut on your saw However, since these are

usualty

quite

hard

and

slippery,

the antikickback

pawls may not stop a kickback

Therefore,

be

especially

attentive

to

following

proper set-up and

cutting

procedures

for

ripping.

Do not stand, or permit anyone e_se to stand, in Iine

with

a potential

kickback.

QIf you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpieceo

turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the

sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is paraIlel to the miter gauge grooves and if the
