Additional Safety Rules
12. THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE TABLE SAW IS BEING USED.
! | WARNING | Do not allow familiarity (gained from fre- | |
quent use of your table saw) to become | |||
|
|
commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before
commencing power tool operation.
!Some dust created by power sanding, WARNING sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation | is a design concept used in electric | WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACE- | |

Extension Cords
!WARNING Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or
electrocute.
! | WARNING | Always use proper extension cord. If an | |
extension cord is necessary, a cord with | |||
|
|
adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
