RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can occur when the blade stalls, driving the work piece back toward the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade, resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of the blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.
USE A SUPPORT FOR THE SIDES AND BACK
.OF THE SAW TABLE when sawing wide or long workpieces. Use a sturdy "outrigger" support if a table extension is more than 24 inches long and is attached to the saw, to prevent tipping.
CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR
•NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at a time.
DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'SBLADE GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE- HAND. Always place the workpiece to be cut on the saw table and position it firmly against the fence as a backstop.
USE THE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure all adjust- merits are secure.
•BE SURE THE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
•BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE WORKPIECE. Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece.
•KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM cu'rrlNG AREA.
Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason. Always turn the power off.
•USE A PUSH BLOCK OR PUSH STICK for workpieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use, for any reason.
,_ WARNING: Blade coasts after being turned off.
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED before starting a cut to avoid blade binding or stalling.
ALWAYS PUSH THE WORKPIECE; never pull it toward the saw.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY. Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply. NEVER leave the table saw unattended while connected to a power source.
BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COVERS, GUARDS, OR BLADE; unplug the saw from power supply.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
USE ONLY OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. Use only extension cords with the marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store cords indoors while not in use." Use extension cords with an electrical rating not less
than the saw'srating. Always disconnect the extension cord from the outlet before disconnect-
ing the productfrom the extension cord.
•INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at a Sears store or repair center. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the moving blade.
•DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
