Safety
This manual has safety information and
instructions to help users eliminate or
reduce the risk of accidents and injuries,
including:
1. Sever e cuts, and loss of fingers or other
body parts due to contact with the blade.
2. Eye impact injuries and blindness, from
being hit by a thrown workpiece, wo rkpiece
chips or pieces of blade.
3. Bodily impact injuries, broken bones and
internal organ damage from being hit by a
thrown workpiece.

Major Hazards
Three major hazards are associated with
using the radial arm saw for ripping. They
are outfeed zone hazard, kickback and
wrong way feed.
This section only briefly explains these hazards. Read the ripping and crosscutting
safety sections for more detailed explanations of these and other hazards.
Outfeed Zone Hazard
Safety Symbol and Signal Words
An exclamation mark inside a triangle is the
safety alert symbol.
It is used to draw attention to safety information in the manual and on the saw. It is
followed by a signal word, DA NGER ,
WARNING or CAUTION, which tells the
level of risk:
DANGER
tion is not followed someone will be seriously injured or killed.
WARNI NG
tion is not followed someone could be seriously injured or killed.
CAUTION
tion is not follo w ed someone ma y be injur ed.
Read and follow all safety information
and instructions.
: means if the safety informa-
: means if the safety informa-
: means if the safety informa-
If you reach around the blade to the outfeed
side when ripping, and try to hold down or
pull the workpiece through to complete a cut,
the rotational f orce of the blade will pull your
hand back into the blade.
Fingers will be cut off.
Read and follow the information and
instructions under ripping safety.
3
Safety
Kickback Hazar d
Kickback is the un controlled propell ing of the
workpiece back tow ard the user during ripping.
The cause of kickback is the binding or
pinching of the blade in the workpiece. Several conditions can cause the blade to bind
or pinch.
When a workpiece kicks back, it could hit
hard enough to cause internal organ injury,
broken bones, or death.
Read and follow the information and
instructions under ripping safety.
Wrong Way Feed Hazard
Wrong way feed is ripping by feeding the
workpiece into the outfeed side of the blade.
The rotational force of the blade can grab
and pull the workpiece.
Before you can let go or pul l back, the force
could pull your hand along with the workpiece into the blade. Fingers or hand could
be cut off.
The propelled workpiece could hit a
bystander, causing severe impact injury or
death.
Read and follow the information and
instructions under ripping safety.

Guard Function and Features
The guard is a v ery important safet y feature,
designed to reduce the risk of injury associated with blade contact. Install the guard
correctly. Follow the specific instructions
in the ripping and crosscutting sections
to set and use the guard correctly f or
each type of cut.
Guard Features Include:
1. A non-moveable metal upper portion,
(Upper Guard) which is fastened to the
motor by the guard clamp screw, and which
fully covers the upper half of the blade.
2. A moveable clear plastic portion, (Plas-
tic Lower Guard) which partially covers the
lower half of the blade. It protects against
contact with the side of the blade during
crosscutting when blade is in its rearmost
position and the guard is resting on the
table, so the leading and trailing teeth of the
blade are not e xposed. It also protects
against contact with the outfeed side of the
blade during ripping, and acts as a barrier to
prevent wrong way feed.
Safety
Handle/Squeeze
Trigger
3. A squeeze trigger in the saw handle to
fully raise the clear plastic guard at the start
of a crosscut. Note: This is necessary because
the guard will not automatically raise to clear the
fence.
4. A hold down to be lowered to just clear
the top of the w orkpiece f or ripping. It a cts as
a barrier to the infeed side of the blade,
keeps the workpiece from fl uttering, and acts
as a sawdust deflector. It is locked/unlocked
by the hold down knob.
5. A riving knife to be lo wered to the table
for ripping. It k eeps the w orkpiece k erf open,
thereby reducing b lade pin ching and the risk
of kickback . It also acts as a barrier to the
hazardous outfeed side and prevents wrong
way feed. It is locked/ unlocked b y the riving
knife/pawls knob. When lo wered for crosscutting, it acts as a barrier to the leading
edge of the blade.

Safety
6. Set of pawls to be lowered to the workpiece surface for ripping. They allow the
workpiece to pass freely from infeed to outfeed side, but help stop the kickback motion
from outfeed to infeed side by grabbing into
the workpiece surface. Pawls must be reset
each time a different thickness workpiece is
cut.
7. A guard tab to manually raise the plastic
guard at the start of ripping unusual workpieces whose size/shape do not cause the
guard to raise automatically.
Hazards Associated wit h Clear Portion of Guard
The follo wing safet y information applies to al l
blades and accessories.
WARNING
Clear plastic portion of guard will not
provide any protection during crosscutting if blade is pulled over your
hand, or your hand enters blade path
from front or rear of blade. Fingers or
hand can be cut or cut off.
Guard Tab
CAUTION
Clear plastic portion of guard can get
caught or jam in fence or table kerfs.
Read and follow the warning on the
guard:
WARNING:
TO AVOID INJURY
SHUT OFF POWER
BEFORE CLEARING A
JAMMED LOWER GUARD
Clear plastic guard will increase risk of certain hazards:
• During rip and bevel cuts, narrow cut
off pieces can be pinched between
guard and blade. Cut-off pieces can
kickback.
• In bevel position blade teeth are fully
exposed. Fingers or hand can be cut
off.
6
WARNING
• Cut-off pieces can jam between
guard and blade. Turn saw off and wait
for blade to stop before freeing
jammed guard or blade.
• Workpiece or cut-off pieces can be
violently thrown by blade. Wear safety
goggles. Stand out of workpiece path.
