Additional Safety Rules

a.NEVER use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels.

b.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

c.Crosscutting operations are more conveniently worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is attached to the miter gauge. (See Page 26).

d.Make sure the top of the cutting tool rotates toward you when standing in normal operating position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting tool as low as possible for the operation being performed. Keep all guards in place whenever possible.

•Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed less than 5000 R.P.M. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for which the saw was designed. For greatest safety and efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diam- eter blade for which the saw is designed, since under these conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.

e.Make sure the table insert is flush or slightly below the table surface on all sides except for rear side. NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.

12. THINK SAfETy

SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE TABLE SAW IS BEING USED.

Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of

!WARNING your table saw) to become com- monplace. Always remember that

a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

The operation of any power tool can result in for- eign objects being

thrown into the

eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Al- ways wear safety goggles that com-

ply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool operation.

!WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, 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 lead-based paints,

•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 spe- cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
