SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a woodshop. Consider your conditions when

setting up and using your SHOP FOX® Classic Fence.

1.KNOW YOUR TABLE SAW. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as its particular hazards.

2.DO NOT REMOVE GUARDS. Maintain guards in working order.

3.ENSURE THAT YOUR TABLE SAW IS ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Never remove the grounding prong.

4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite accidents.

5.AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area well lighted.

6.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7.DO NOT FORCE WORK THROUGH TABLE SAW. Tools work better and more safely when they are allowed to work at their own speed.

8.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that might get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear should be worn. Tie back long hair.

9.NEVER STAND OR LEAN ON TOOL.

10.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES, EAR PROTECTION AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.

11.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

12.USE A PUSH STICK WHEN CUTTING NARROW PIECES.

13.DO NOT REACH BEHIND TABLE SAW TO GRAB CUTOFF PIECE. If wood binds against saw blade it will kick back faster than you can let go.

14.DO NOT LET THE END OF THE WORKPIECE CONTACT THE FENCE WHILE CROSSCUTTING WOOD WITH THE MITER GAUGE. There is a potential for kick-back. Move the fence away.

15.DISCONNECT TABLE SAW FROM POWER before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, and cutters.

16.AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the cord.

17.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not operate the table saw until you are certain it is in perfect running condition.

18.NEVER LEAVE THE TABLE SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave the saw until it comes to a full stop.

19.DO NOT OPERATE EQUIPMENT IF USING DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.

20.DO NOT OPERATE EQUIPMENT if you are mentally or physically fatigued.

21.IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE! Ask for help first.

22.BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review all safety procedures often.
