12. Gloves should not be worn while operating the saw.

Loose flowing garments, jewelry (rings, wrist watches,

etc.} and neckties should never be worn. Long sleeves

should be rolled to above the elbows.

13. Always wear safety goggles to protect the eyes. In addi-

tion. wear a face shield if the operation is dusty, and

ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods

of operation.

14. Provide proper support for the workpiece, based on its

size and the type of operation to be performed. Hold

the work firmly against the fence. When ripping short

workpieces (under 12-inches long) or narrow pieces

(under 6-inches wide), use a push stick applied to the

section of the workpiece between the blade and the

fence.

15. Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the

workpiece. Never hang onto or touch the free end of

workp*ece, or a free piece that is cut off, while power

is "ON" and!or the saw blade is rotating. In short, to

guard against kickbacks or other potential accidents,

the cut-off piece in any thro-sawing operation must

never be confined -- it must be allowed to move laterally.

16. Do not leave a long board unsupported so the spring of

the board causes it to shift on the table. A support

should be used to catch the end of the board you are

supporting.

17. Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals of

power or motor plugs when installing or removing the

plug to or from a live power source.

18. Never climb on or near the saw when power is on.

Never leave the saw with power on, or before the cut-

ting tool has come to a complete stop. Lock the motor

switch and put away the key when leaving the saw.

19. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip

could cause a hand to move into a saw blade or other

cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the

cutting toot with either hand to hold down the work-

piece.

CAUTION: Never reposition the GUARD

CHUTE or anti-kickback/spreader with power

ON.

20. Always position the GUARD CHUTE and the anti-

kickback and spreader assembly for rip type opera-

tions. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars

and arbor nuts are installed properly. Keep guards in

place; use the proper guard.

21.

22.

Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for

an operating speed in excess of the design speed of the

saw. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter than

the diameter for which the saw was designed. For

greatest safety and efficiency when ripping, use the

maximum diameter blade for which the saw is de-

signed, since under these conditions the spreader is

nearest the blade.

The use of abrasive or cut-off wheels, or wire wheels

can be dangerous and is not recommended. (Abrasive

or cut-off wheels are used to saw many different ma-

terials including metals, stone, and glass.)

23, Do not position the arm so the operation you are per-

forming permits the cutting tool to extend beyond the

edges of th_e table.

24. Never turn your radial arm saw "ON" before clearing

the table or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of

wood, etc.) except the workpiece and related feed or

support devices for the operation planned_

25.

26.

27.

Objects can be thrown upward toward the operator by

the back of the blade if proper operating procedures

are not followed. This usually occurs when a small,

loose piece of wood or other object contacts the rear

of the revolving blade. It can be avoided by removing

all loose pieces from the table immediately after they

are made, using a long stick, and keeping the guard in

place at all times. Use extra caution when the guard

assembly is removed for molding, and replace the guard

as soon as that operation has been completed.

Never perform any operation "free hand". This term

means feeding the carriage into the workpiece or feed-

ing the workpiece into the saw blade or other cutting

tool without using the fence or some other device

which prevents rotation or twisting of the workpiece

during the operation. Never "rip" (cut with the grain)

narrow or long workpieces in the crosscut position...

feeding saw blade into the stationary workpiece. Never

make a miter cut with the arm in the 90 ° crosscut

position.

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and

alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY

(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR

SAW} TO BECOME COMMONPLACE" AU

WAYS REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS

FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT

TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
