W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your table saw are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corro- sion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine- based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Machine Placement

•Floor Load: This machine distributes a heavy load in a small footprint. Some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator.

•Working Clearances: Consider existing and antici- pated needs, size of material to be processed through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your table saw (see Figure 1 for mini- mum working clearances).

•Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to elimi- nate shadow and prevent eye strain.

•Electrical: Electrical circuits must be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets must be located near each machine, so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper instal- lation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

ALWAYS work in well- ventilated areas far from possible ignition sources when using solvents to clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they DO NOT create fire or environmental hazards. NEVER use gasoline or petroleum-based solvents to clean your table saw.

MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. NEVER allow untrained visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.
