WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ALWAYS

LOCK THE SWITCH "OFF" WHEN SAW IS NOT IN USE. REMOVE KEY AND KEEP IT IN ASAFE PLACE . . . ALSO IN THE EVENT OF A POWER

FAILURE (ALL YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT) TURN SWITCH OFF. LOCK IT AND REMOVE THE KEY

THIS WILL PREVENT THE SAW FROM

STARTING UP AGAIN WHEN THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

7. Accessory Shaft

Use only the following recommended accessories: Drill chuck, Sanding drum, and Router adapter.

CAUTION: The sawblade, dado, or cutting toot must

be removed from the saw arbor before using the accessory shaft. NEVER operate the saw with cutting

tools (including sanding accessories) installed on both ends of the saw arbor.

and

possible

kickback;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to

prevent

"wrong-way

feed".

"Wrong-way

 

feed"

is

feeding

the

 

workpiece

-

when

sawblade

is

in

a

rip

position

 

 

into

the

outfeed

side

of

 

the

cutting

 

tool

(sawblade,

 

dado,

 

molding

 

 

head,

 

etc.),

 

the

 

side

containing

 

the

antikickback/spreader.

 

 

This

can

 

be

extremely

 

hazardous

because

the

sawblade

 

may

grab

the

workpiece

and

throw

it

violently

 

toward the nose

of the guard (infeed side of the tool). Danger label on

guard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Wrong-way

 

feed"

 

occurs

 

when

the

 

teeth

themselves

cut,

or

attempt

to

 

cut,

a

kerf

in

the

workpiece.

 

This

differs from

 

a "kickback"

 

 

which

is

generated

by

 

the

sides (one or both) of the teeth, because of binding

between

the

fence

 

(heel),

pinching

of

the

sides

of

 

the

sawblade

(failure

 

to

use

spreader),

and!or

inadequate

set of teeth of sawblade.

-to act as a partial guard regarding accidental contact with the sawbtade at the outfeed side when ripping,

and leading edge when crosscutting.

a.]'he blade guard is positioned by loosening the guard clamp screw and rotating the guard so that the "nose" just clears the workpiece as shown.

b. The antikickback and spreader assembly must be

adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the board being ripped. A wing screw in the guard secures the assembly.
