Specific Safety Instructions for Table Saws

SAFETY

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.Always use guard, splitter and anti-kickback pawls on all ''through-sawing'' operations. Through- sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in ripping or crosscutting.

2.Always hold the work firmly against the miter gauge or the fence when cutting.

3.Always use a push-stick for ripping narrow stock.

4.Never perform any operation ''free-hand'' which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

5.Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.

6.Never reach behind or over the blade with either hand for any reason.

7.Move the rip fence out of the way when crosscutting with the miter gauge.

8.Always use multiple light passes when cutting deep non-through cuts.

9.Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF.

10.Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.

11.Avoid kickbacks. A condition in which a piece of wood is thrown back towards an operator at a high rate of speed. Usually is caused by the stock becoming trapped between the stationary face of the rip fence and the rotating side of the saw blade. Do not operate the machine until you know what a kickback is and how to avoid it.

12.Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.

13.Avoid cutting warped stock or stock that may contain loose knots, nails or any other defects. These conditions may cause kickback.
