Safety Instructions for the Tenoning Jig
1.OPERATION MANUAL. READ and UNDERSTAND the operation manual for the table saw before using this jig!
2.KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you have a clear under- standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate the table saw!
3.REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never reach behind or over the blade with either hand while the saw is running. If kick- back occurs while reaching over the blade, hands or arms could be pulled into the spinning saw blade.
4.OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or have any part of your body directly
5.SECURING WORKPIECE. ALWAYS securely clamp the workpiece in the tenon- ing jig, and MAKE SURE all fasteners are tight before you make a cut.
6.JIG CONTROL. Hold both tenoning jig handles firmly when cutting, NEVER hold the jig with only one hand.
7.ADJUSTING JIG. Unplug the table saw before installing or adjusting the jig, saw, or workpiece.
8.TENON MATERIAL SELECTION. Select clean tenon locations that are low in mois- ture content, and use workpieces that are free of knots, staples, nails, and imbedded stones. Run warped stock through a jointer before you use the tenoning jig.
9.WORK AREA CLEANLINESS. Keep the jig and table surface free of wood bits and tools.
10.ACCESSORIES. Make sure other acces- sories used on the table saw allow the tenoning jig to operate freely with unbinding travel.
11.BLADE GUARD. Reinstall the blade guard and any other safety features on the table saw when the tenoning jig is removed and not used anymore.
12.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties per- forming the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (570)
