SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TABLE SAW

1.ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD spreader and anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which they can be used, including through-sawing.

Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or cross-cutting.

2.ALWAYS HOLDTHE WORK FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence.

3.USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in the instruction manual where the push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick pattern included in this Owner'sManual.

4.NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION

"FREE HAND", which means using your hands only to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

5.NEVER STAND or have any part of your body

in line with the path of the saw blade, Keep your hands out of the line of the saw blade.

6.NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool for any reason.

11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE without first turning the saw OFF. Turn power switch OFF immediately to prevent motor damage.

12.PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, keeping the rip fence parallel to the saw btade, and by keeping the spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and guard in place and functioning. Do not release work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip work that is twisted, warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

14.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cuffing tool.

15.NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.

16.MOUNT your table saw before performing any cuffing operations. Refer to installation instructions.

17.NEVER CUT METALS or materials which may make hazardous dust.

18.ALWAYS USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Remove sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.

20.For proper operation follow the instructions of this owner's manual titled "SAW MOUNTED TO WORK

SURFACES" Failure to provide sawdust fall-through and removal hole will allow sawdust to build up in the motor area, which may result in a fire hazard or cause motor damage.

21.ALWAYS USE THE TABLE EXTENSION for support when cutting a long workpiece. Never use an unstable surface or another person to hold a long workpiece. Adjust the table extension for maximum stability and length of the workpiece before cutting.
