SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION

Safety Rules

1.TEST THE STABILITY OF THE MACHINE BEFORE USING. An extended or heavy load may alter the balance point of the machine (especially if used with a mobile base). Neglecting this step could result in damage to the equipment and serious injury to the operator.

2.KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM THE MOVING BLADES OR CUTTERS.

3.ALWAYS FEED THE WORK AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION.

4.USE A DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR, even if you have a reliable method of dust collection, when cutting or shaping, as well as EYE AND EAR PROTECTION.

5.DO NOT CUT IT if there is any doubt as to the stability or integrity of the material to be cut. Look for loose knots, nails and any defect that may cause the workpiece to shift, come apart or cause blade failure.

6.DO NOT EXTEND FINGERS BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE FENCE NEAR THE STA- TIONARY TABLE. A potential for pinched fingers exists.

7.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) A condition in which a piece of wood is thrown back towards an operator at a high rate of speed. If you do not have a complete understanding of how kickback occurs, or how to prevent it, DO NOT oper- ate this table saw.

8.IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC- ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

9.HABITS - GOOD AND BAD - ARE HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits and safe- ty will become second nature to you.
