ADDDTaONAL SAFETY RNSTRUCTSONS FOR TABLE SAWS
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,
1, GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
TOOLS .... SEE PAGE 2
2,_ GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW .... SEE PAGE 15
3o BASIC SAW OPERATION , ,. SEE PAGE 17
4, ADJUSTMENTS ..... SEE PAGE 23
5o MAINTENANCE , _o SEE PAGE 26
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 to either end of the saw, make sure you either
bolt the saw to the bench or floor as appropriate, or
support the outer end of the extension from the bench
or floor, as appropriate.,
7o LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in Iine with the
saw blade
8o KICKBACKS
A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation
when a part or aU of the workpiece is thrown back
violently 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 sawbiade sharp, Repfacing antikickback
pawls when points become dull
C Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawts 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 untii you have pushed it all the
way past the sawblade
F. Using a "PUSH STICK" (See Page T6) for ripping
widths of 2 to 6 in, and an auxiliary fence and push
block for ripping widths narrower than 2 in (See
"Basic Saw Operation Using The Rip Fence" section }
G NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or
crosscutting.
H When ripping apply the feed force to the section of
the workpiece between the saw bfade and the rip
fence
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 ANSI Z87 1,
and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear
p[ugs 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 al! "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 For rip or rip*type cuts, the following end of a
workpiece to which a push stick or push board is
applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence)
in order that feed pressure applied to the workpiece
by the push stick or block does not cause the
workpiece to come away from the fence, and
possibly cause a kickback
F. During rip and rip type cuts, the workplece must be
held down on the table and against the fence with a
push stick, push block, or featherboards A
featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch..
G 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
H NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool..
I, NEVER place your fingers or hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tooI.
J 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
K_ DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
L. DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" -
always use either the rip or the miter gauge to
position and guide the work
M_ 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
workplece or a "free piece" that _s cut off, while
Dower is "ON" and!or the sawblade is rotating.
N 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.
O.. Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
P PIastic and composition (like hardboard) materials
may be cut on your saw However, since these are
usualty 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 e_se to stand, in Iine
with a potential kickback.
Q If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpieceo
turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the
sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is
paraIlel to the miter gauge grooves and if the
spreaderisinproperalignmentwiththesawblade,,
If rippingatthetime,checktoseeif theripfence
is parallel with the sawbladeReadjustas
indicated.
R. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become trapped inside the blade guard
while the saw is running This could endanger your
hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and
wait until blade stops
S Use extra care when ripping wood that has a twisted
grain or is twisted or bowed -- it may rock on the
table and/or pinch the sawblade
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 roof
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. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR THIS
SAW_
12 Crosscutting operations are more conveniently worked
and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is
attached to the miter gauge using the holes provided
However, the facing must not interfere with the proper
functioning of the sawbtade 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 Keep all 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 tabie inserts flush with the table top NEVER
Operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed
16. Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear
of the saw. An accident and serious injury could result.
17 Always maintain control of the workpiece -- DO NOT
"let go" of 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,
