additional safety instructions for table saws

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO 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 PG. 2

2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW . . . SEE PG. 8

3. BASIC SAW OPERATION ... SEE PG. 11

4. ADJUSTMENTS ... SEE PG. 17

5. MAINTENANCE ... SEE PG. 20

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"

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, Keeping points of

anti-kickback pawls sharp.

c. 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.

d. NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or does

not have a straight edge to guide along the 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

inches, and an auxiliary fence/push block for ripping widths narrower than 2 inches (See section on "'R ipping").

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 properly 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.

c. 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 IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. NEVER place your face or body in line with the

cutting tool.

g. NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of

the sawblade or other cutting tool.

h. 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.

i. DO NOT perform anY operation "FREEHAND" -

always use either the fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the work.

j. NEVER use the fence when crosscutting or the

miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT use the fence as a length stop.

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

when removing the table insert, changing the cutting

tool, removing or replacing the blade guard, or making adjustments.

I. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of

the saw table for wider or long workpieces.

m. 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, be especially attentive to following proper set-up and cutting procedures for ripping these materials. Do not stand, or permit anyone else

to stand, in line with a potential kickback.

10. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS a. Dull, gummy, or improperly sharpened or set

cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall

the saw, or kickback at the operator. Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool and

machine maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED

SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE SAW OFF.

b. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels,

friction wheels (metal slitting blades), wire wheels or

buffing wheels.

11. NOTE THE FOLLOWING DANGER LABEL WHICH

APPEARS ON THE FRONT OF THE SAW.

DANGER

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY

1_ READ AND UNDERSTAND OWNER'S MANUAL

BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

2. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.

3. KEEP HANDS OUT OF PATH OF SAW BLADE_. =K KNOW HOW TO AVOID "KICKBACKS".

5. USE I'PUSH-ST|CK "_ WHEN RIPPING SHORT OR

NARROW WORK.

12. THINK SAFETY

MOTOR SPECl FICATIONS

The AC motor used in this saw is a capacitor start,

non-reversible type, with the following specifications:

Voltage ................................ 120

Amperes .............................. 10.0

Hertz ................................... 60

Phase ................................ Single

RPM ................................. 3450

Rotation (viewed from

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

The saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset thermal

overload protector, designed to open the power line circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe'value.

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor, move the saw switch lever to the "OFF" position

immediately and allow the motor to cool.

After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the overload protector can be closed manually be pushing

in the red RESET button on the front of saw. If the red

button will not snap into place immediately, the motor

is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while

longer.

3. As soon as the red button will snap into running position, the saw may be started and operated normally by moving the saw switch lever to the "ON" position.

4. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused with a fuse other than those recommended. Do not use

a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power company.

Although the motor is designed for operation on the

voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals be not less than the voltage specified on

nameplate.

CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET

This saw must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have

it replaced immediately.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts it has a plug

that looks like below.
