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.

MAINTENANCE... SEE PAGE 26

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 panelsor 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. LOCATI ON

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

saw blade.

KI CKBACKS 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 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" (See Page 16) for ripping

widths of 2 to 6 in,, and an auxiliary fence and push block for ripping widtt_s narrower than 2 in. (See "Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence" section.)

G. NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or

crosscutti ng.

H. When ripping apply the feed force to the section of

the workpiece between the saw blade and the rip fence.

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,

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 sawbtade or other cutting tool.

I. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" -

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

J. 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.

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.

L. 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 antikickback

pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore. be especially attentive to following

proper set-up and cutting procedures for ripping. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line

with a potential kickback.

N. DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work

on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

O. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece,

turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the

sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is parallel to the miter gauge grooves and if 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.

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 too_

and mach{ne maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT F_RST TURNING THE

SAW OFF.

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

friction wheels (metal slitting blades)wire wheels or

buffing wheelS.

11. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS SAW.

12. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently worked

functioning of the sawblade guard.

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. Keepall 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 unlessthe proper insert is installed.

16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear

of the saw. An accident and seriousinjury could result.

WEAR YOUR

17. Always maintain control of the workpiece -- DO NOT "let go" the workpiece until the cutting tool has come

to a stop.

18. IF YOUR SAW MAKES AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE OR IF IT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY CEASE OPERATING IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE SOURCE

HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THE PROBLEM

CORRECTED.

19. If any part of this table saw is missing or should break,

bend or fail in any way, or any electrical component

fail to perform properly, shut off power switch, remove cord from power supply and replace damaged, missing and/or failed parts before resuming operation.

20. THINK SAFETY. Safety is a combination of operator common senseand

alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

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

WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THiS POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD

OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN

USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS, IN PROXIMITY TO

PLUMBING, OR OUT OF DOORS. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A

SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE.

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grou nding type plug which has a ground ing prong, approved by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards

Association. The ground conductor has a green lug and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to

determine the minimum wire size (A.W:G.) extension cord. Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong

grounding type lugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug.
