TABLE SAW SAFETY

1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE

GUARD, riving knife and anti-

kickback pawls assembly for every

through–sawing operation. Through

–sawing operations are those in

which the blade cuts completely

through the workpiece when ripping

or crosscutting. Always be sure

blade guard is tightened securely.

2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE

FIRMLY against the miter gauge or

rip fence.

3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push

block, especially when ripping

narrow stock. Refer to ripping

instructions in this Operator’s Manual

where the push stick is covered in

detail. A pattern for making your own

push stick is included on page 50.

4. NEVER PERFORM ANY

OPERATION FREEHAND, which

means can using hands to support

the workpiece, but always use either

the fence OR the miter gauge to

position and guide the workpiece.

FREEHAND CUTTING IS THE

MAJOR CAUSE OF KICKBACK AND

FINGER/HAND AMPUTATIONS.

NEVER USE THE MITER GAUGE

AND FENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY.

5. NEVER STAND or have any part of

your body in line with the path of the

saw blade. Keep your hands out of

the saw blade path.

6. NEVER REACH behind or over the

cutting tool for any reason.

7. REMOVE the rip fence when

crosscutting.

8. DO NOT USE a molding head with

this saw.

9. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work

into a blade against the direction of

rotation of the blade.

10.NEVER use the rip fence as a

cut-off gauge when crosscutting.

11.NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A

STALLED SAW BLADE without

ﬁrst turning the saw OFF. Turn

power switch OFF immediately to

prevent motor damage.

12.PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT

to the rear and the sides of the saw

table for long or wide workpieces.

13.AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown

back towards you) by keeping the

blade sharp, the rip fence parallel

to the saw blade and by keeping

the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls

assembly and guards in place,

aligned and functioning. Do not

release work before passing it

completely beyond the saw blade.

Do not rip work that is twisted,

warped or does not have a straight

edge to guide it along the fence.

Do not attempt to reverse out of a

cut with the blade running.
