ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING.

1.GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS ...SEE PAGE 2

2.GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW ... SEE PAGE 14

3.BASIC SAW OPERATION ... SEE PAGE 17

4.ADJUSTMENTS . .. SEE PAGE 23

5.MAINTENANCE . .. SEE PAGE 26

6.STABILITY 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	in,
wide, make sure they are supported			underneath		by	a
sturdy brace attached to saw base or bench.

7. LOCATION

The saw should be positioned	so	neither	the	operator
nor a casual observer is forced	to	stand in	line	with the
saw blade.

8.KICKBACKS

Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "Kickback" occurs when a part of the workpiece binds between the

sawblade and the rip fence				or other fixed object, rises
from the table, and is thrown 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. Replacing

anti-kickback pawls when points become dull.

Keeping

sawblade

guard,

spreader,

and

anti-kickback 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.

NOT ripping

work

that

is twisted or warped or does

not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.

NOT releasing work until you

have

pushed

9.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 prop>erly repaired or replaced.
B.	Wear	safety	goggles		that	comply		with		ANS
	Z87.1-1968, and		a	face shield		if operation		is	dusty.
	Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of
	operation.

Small

loose

pieces

of wood

other

objects

that

contact the rear of the

revolving

blade

can

thrown back at the operator

excessive speed.

This

can usually be avoided by keeping the guard

and

spreader

place

for

all thru-sawing operations

(sawing

entirely

thru

the

work)

AND

removing

all loosepieces from the

table with a long stick

wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.

Use

extra

caution

when

the

guard

replace

the

guard

soon

that

operation is completed.

NEVER

turn

the

saw

"ON"

before

clearing

the

table of all tools, wood

scraps,

etc.,

except

the

workpiece

and

feed

support

devices

for

the operation planned.

NEVER

place

your

face

body

line

with

the

cutting tool.

NEVER

place

your

fingers

hands

NEVER

reach

back

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

sudden

slip

could

cause

fingers

hand

move

into a sawblade or other cutting tool.

NOT

perform

any

operation

"FREEHAND"

—

always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to

position and guide the work.

NEVER

use

the

rip

fence when

crosscutting

the

miter guage 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

cut

off,

while

power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating.

K.Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord

when

removing

the

table

or making adjustments.

Provide

adequate

support

the

rear

and

sides

the saw table for wider or long workpieces.

Plastic

and

composition

(like

hardboard)

materials

may be cut on your saw. However, since these are

usually

quite

hard

and

slippery,

the

anti-kickback

pawls may not stop a kickback.

Therefore,

especially

attentive

following

proper

set-up

and

cutting

procedures

for

ripping.

Do not stand, or permit anyone else to

stand,

line

with a potential kickback.

If you

workpiece,

turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from

the

sawblade,

and

check

see

the

sawblade

parallel to the table slots or grooves

and

the

spreader is in proper alignment with the sawblade.

If ripping at the time, check to see if the rip fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.

12.	Cross-cutting				operations are		more conveniently				worked
	and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood									facing is
	attached to the miter gauge using the holes provided.
13.	Make	sure		the top		of the arbor or cutting tool					rotates
	toward		you		when	standing		in	normal	operating
	position.		Also		make	sure the cutting tool, arbor					collars
	and arbor			nut	are	installed	properly.		Keep the		cutting
	tool	as	low		as	possible	for	the	operation		being

performed. Keep all guards in place whenever possible.

14.Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an

	operating	speed less than 3450 RPM.				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 designed, since under these
	conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
15.	Adjust	table inserts flush	with	the	table	top.	NEVER

operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.

17. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SAW.

ALIGNING RIP FENCE
The fence should slide easily along		the	bars	and	always
remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade			and miter		gauge
grooves).
The alignment is maintained by	a	spring	underneath			the
fence which bears against the front guide bar.
To move the fence, loosen the	lock	handle and		grasp		the
fence with one hand at the front.

If the fence does not slide	easily along the bars, the pressure
of the spring can be REDUCED.

1.Loosen the screws.

2.Move spring slightly toward rear of fence . . . tighten screws.

3.	The	rip	fence	must be	PARALLEL		with	the sawblade
	and	Miter	Gauge	grooves	.. .	Move	fence		until it	is
	along side of groove. Do				NOT	LOCK	IT.	It	should	be
	parallel to groove. If it is not;

A.Loosen the two "Hex. Head Screws."
