5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS
AWAY. All children and visitors should be

kept a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with

padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or

attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working

order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered

areas and benches invite accidents.

4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON­MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or

wet locations, or where any flammable or
noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area
well lighted.

For Your Own Safety Read Instruction

Manual Before Operating This Equipment

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the equipment.

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of
importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember
that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi­tion. Conductor size should be in accor­dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten­sion cords if they become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov­ering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK.Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubri­cating and changing accessories.

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recom­mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION­AL STARTING. On machines with mag-

netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before recon­necting.

17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward

the operator if not handled properly. Know
what conditions can create “kickback” and
know how to avoid them. Read the manual
accompanying the machine thoroughly.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind­ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT­TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running
a machine.

No list of safety guidelines can be com­plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip­ment or poor work results.

SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION

Commentary

1. TEST THE STABILITY OF THE MACHINE
BEFORE USING. An extended or heavy

load may alter the balance point of the
machine (especially if used with a mobile
base). Neglecting this step could result in
damage to the equipment and serious injury
to the operator.

2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM THE
MOVING BLADES OR CUTTERS.

3. ALWAYS FEED THE WORK AGAINST
THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION.

4. USE A DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR,

even if you have a reliable method of dust
collection, when cutting or shaping, as well

as EYE AND EAR PROTECTION.

5. DO NOT CUT IT if there is any doubt as to

the stability or integrity of the material to be
cut. Look for loose knots, nails and any
defect that may cause the workpiece to shift,
come apart or cause blade failure.

6. DO NOT EXTEND FINGERS BELOW THE
BOTTOM OF THE FENCE NEAR THE STA­TIONARY TABLE. A potential for pinched

fingers exists.

7. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back

toward you) A condition in which a piece of
wood is thrown back towards an operator at
a high rate of speed. If you do not have a
complete understanding of how kickback

occurs, or how to prevent it, DO NOT oper-

ate this table saw.

8. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC­ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intended

operation, stop using the machine! Then
contact our service department or ask a
qualified expert how the operation should be
performed.

Safety Rules

9. HABITS - GOOD AND BAD - ARE HARD
TO BREAK. Develop good habits and safe-

ty will become second nature to you.

G4227 Sliding Table -5-

Clean up

The sliding table surface is coated with a plastic
film that protects it from damage during shipment.
Heat the film with a hair dryer and remove the
protective film with great care to avoid peeling the
laminate off.

The Model G4227 is shipped from the manufac­turer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover
the sliding table is damaged after you’ve signed

for delivery, please call Customer Service imme-

diately for advice.

Save the containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.

Otherwise filing a freight claim can be difficult.

Unpacking

The sliding table repre­sents a heavy load at 75
pounds. Seek assistance
before beginning assem­bly.

When you are completely satisfied with the con­dition of your shipment, you should inventory its
parts.

To operate this sliding table on a tablesaw
or shaper safely and efficiently, it is essen­tial to become as familiar with the charac­teristics of both as much as possible. The
time you invest before you begin to use
your Model G4227 will be time well spent.
DO NOT operate the machine until you are
completely familiar with the contents of
this manual. Make sure you read and

-8- G4227 Sliding Table

Order Of Assembly

The sliding table only requires minimal assembly
and will go together quickly. Assemble in the fol­lowing order:

1. Mount the upper rail to the machine.

2. Mount the lower guide bracket to the

machine.

3. Assemble and mount the sliding table

assembly.

4. Attach the fence.

TOOLS REQUIRED

Only a few common tools are required to assem­ble your sliding table. Specifically, these are:
Phillips

®

head screwdriver, 3mm, 5mm and

10mm Allen

®

wrenches, 14mm and 17mm open

end wrenches.

When placing the Model G4227 Sliding Table in
your shop, two major considerations should be
addressed: working clearances and lighting.

1. Working clearances can be defined as the

safe distance between other machines and
obstacles that may limit material being
processed or person(s) operating those
machines. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, anticipated size of material
to be processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands and/or work
tables. You may also want to consider the
relative position of each machine to one
another for efficient material handling. Be
sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safe-

ly operate your machines in any foresee-

able operation.

2. Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate

shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir­cuits should be dedicated or large enough to
handle motor amp loads and proper lighting.
Outlets should be located near each
machine so power or extension cords are not
obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to
observe local electrical codes for proper
installation if you are adding new lighting,
outlets, or circuits.

Site Planning

Some metal parts may
have sharp edges on
them after they are
formed. Please examine
the edges of all metal
parts before handling
them. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
