AE)DJTIONAL SAFETY aNSTRUCTiONS FOR TABLE SAWS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT

OPERATE YOUR SAW UNTIL iT iS COMPLETELY

ASSEMBLED AND iNSTALLED ACCORDING TO

THE iNSTRUCTiONS ... AND UNTIL YOU HAVE

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.

1. GENERAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR

POWER TOOLS ... SEE PAGE 2

2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW... SEE PAGE

27.

3. BASIC SAW OPERATION ... SEE PAGE 30.

4. MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 38.

5. STABlUTY OF SAW

If there is any tendency for the saw to tip over or

move during certain cutting operations such as

cutting extremely large heavy panels or long

heavy boards, the saw should be bolted down.

if you attach any kind of table extensions over

24" wide to either end of the saw. make sure you

either bolt the saw to the bench or floor as

appropriate, or support the outer end of the

extension from the bench or floor, as

appropriate.

6. LOCATION

The saw should be positioned so neither the

operator nor a causal observer is forced to stand

in line with the saw blade.

7. KICKBACKS

A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type

operation when a part or all of the workpiece is

thrown back violently toward the operator.

Keep your face and body to one side of the

sawblade, out of line with a possible "Kickback."

Kickbacks -- and possible injury from them --

can usually be avoided by:

A. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the

sawblade.

B. Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replace or

sharpen antikickback pawls when points

become dull.

C. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and

antikickback pawls in place and operating

properly. The spreader must be in alignment

with the sawblade and the pawls must stop a

kickback once it has started.

Check their action before ripping.

D. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped

or does not have a straight edge to guide

along the rip fence.

E. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it

all the way past the sawblade.

F. Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2 to 6

in., and an auxiliary fence and push block for

ripping widths narrower than 2 in. (See

"Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence"

section.)

G. NOT confining the cut-off piece when

ripping or cross-cutting.

H. When ripping apply the feed force to the

section of the vvorkpiece between the saw

blade and the rip fence.

8. PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS,

BODY

A. If any part of your saw is malfunctioning, has

been damaged or broken . • • such as the

motor switch, or other operating control, a

safety device or the power cord.., cease

operating immediately until the particular

part is properly repaired or replaced.

B. Small loose pieces of wood or other objects

that contact the rear of the revolving blade

can be thrown back at the operator at

excessive speed. This can usually be avoided

by keeping the guard and spreader in place

for all thru-sawing operations (sawing

entirely thru the work) AND by removing all

loose pieces from the table with a long stick

of wood IMMEDIATELYafter they are cut off.

O. Use extra caution when the guard assembly

is removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting,

or molding -- replace the guard as soon as

that operation is completed.

g. For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a

workpiece to which a push stick or push

board is applied must be square

{perpendicular to the fence) in order that

feed pressure applied to the workpiece by

the push stick or block does not cause the

workpiece to come away from the fence, and

possibly cause a kickback.

E. During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece

must be held down on the table and against

the fence with a push stick, push block, or

featherboards. A featherboard is made of

solid tumber per sketch.

KERFS ABOUT J_

5/16" APART

F. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing

the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc.,

except the workpiece and related feed or

support devices for the operation planned.

G. NEVER place your face or body in line with

the cutting tool.

H. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the

path of the sawblade or other cutting tool.

i. NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with

either hand to hold down or support the

workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any

other reason. Avoid awkward operations and

hand positions where a sudden slip could

cause fingers or hand to move into a

sawblade or other cutting tool.

J. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup

work on the table while the cutting tool is

rotating.

K. DO NOT perform any operation

"FREEHAND" -- always use either the rip

fence or the miter gauge to position and

guide the work.

L. NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting

or the miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT

use the rip fence as a length stop.

Never hold onto or touch the "free end" of the

workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off,

while power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is

rotating.

M. Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the

power cord when removing the table insert,

changing ......... toot, removing or

replacing the blade guard, or making

adjustments.
