Genesis Advanced Technologies GTS10S Extension Cords, Specific Safety Rules for Table SAW

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16- gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

•If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

•Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

•Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAW

Warning:

DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT (GAINED FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY RULES. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!

•Do not cut metals with the table saw. Table saws are designed to cut wood-like or plastic materials. However, some wood and plastic materials are quite hard and slippery. The anti-kickback pawls may not stop kick back. Do not stand, or let anyone stand in line with potential kickback.

•To avoid tipping your table saw in operation, firmly BOLT it to a work stand or bench. Long work pieces need extra support on the out-feed side.

•Unplug saw from power source before making adjustments, repairs, maintenance or storing.

Accidental start up can cause serious personal injury.

•Do not turn on the table saw before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc, except the work piece and related feed or supporting devices

•Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses with side shields, unless otherwise specified, everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance, they are not safety glasses, use only approved certified safety equipment; eye protection should comply with ANSI z87.1 standards, protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.

•Protect your lungs. Wear face or dust mask. Following this rule will reduce the risk of personal injury.

•Tie back long hair and roll long sleeves above the elbow. Do NOT wear loose fitting gloves, loose clothing, jewelry and other items which can be caught in rotating parts and cause serious personal injury.
