RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
•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'S BLADE 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- ments 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 CUTTING 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 PUSHBLOCK 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.
,4_ 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 disconnect- ing it, to avoid accidental starting when recon- necting 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 and remove the switch key.
•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's rating. Always disconnect the extension cord from the outlet before discon-
necting the product from 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.
•SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instruc- tions also.
A 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
•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.
