ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS on all '_through-sawing" operations.
Through-sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross
curing. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls
down, and the spreader in place over the blade.
• ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against the rip fence or
miter gauge. NEVER use the dp fence during the same
operation as the miter gauge.
° ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NARROW
STOCK. A push stick is a device used to push a workpiece
through the blade instead of using your hands. Size and shape
can vary but the push stick must always be narrower than
the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the
saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push
stick, so your hand does not come close to the saw blade,
Use a featherboard and push blocks for non4hrough cuts.
° NEVER perform any operation "freehand" which means using
only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always
use either the np fence or miter fence to position and guide
the work.
° NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the
path of the saw blade.
° NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the blade
or cutter with either hand for any reason.
° MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross cutting.
° DO NOT USE THE MITER GAUGE AND RIP FENCE during
the same operation.
° NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning
the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power
source.
° PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wide or _ongwork pieces.
• AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by:
a) Keeping blade sharp.
b) Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade,
c) Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard
in place and operating.
d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past
the saw blade using a push stick.
e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have
a straight edge to guide along the fence.
• IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authonzed service
center to avoid risk.
• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
cutting tool.
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in this
manual or addendums. Use of accessones that are not listed
may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe
use of accessories are included with the accessory.
• MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING
to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with
safe operation BEFORE performing any work using the table
saw,
° ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to avoid
accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply:
° SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
