Safety

This manual has safety information and
ins_ctions to help users eliminate or reduce

the risk of accidents and injuries, including:

1. Severe 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, workpiece
chips or pieces of blade,

3. Bodily impact injuries, broken bones, and
internal organ damage from being hit by a

thrown workpiece

4. Shock or electrocution

5. Bums.

Major Hazards

Three major hazards are associated with
using the radial arm saw for ripping, They

are ouffeed zone hazard, kickback, and
wrong way feed.

This section only briefly explains these haz-

ards. Read the ripping and crosscutting safe-
ty sections of your saw manual for more

detailed explanations of these and other haz-
ards.

Outfeed Zone Hazard

,i_t,DANGER

Safety Symbol and Signal Words

An exclamation mark inside a triangle is the

safety alert symbol.

It is used to draw attention to safety informa-

tion in the manual and on the saw_ It is
followed by a signal word, DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION, which tells the
level of risk:

,_ DANGER: means if the safety infor-

mation is not followed someone will be seri-
ously injured or killed.

WARNING: means if the safety infor-

mation is not followed someone could be
seriously injured or killed.

,,Ik

,_ CAUTION: means if the safety infor-
mation is not followed someone might be
injured.

Read and follow all safety information
and instructions.

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 force of the blade will pull
your hand back into the blade.

Fingers will be cut off.

Safety

Kickback Hazard

Kickback is the uncontrolled p_opelling of

the workpiece back toward 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.

kWARNING

KICKBACKII

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 pull back, the force
could pull your hand along with the work-
piece into the blade. Fingers or hand could

be cut off.

The propelled workpiece could hit a by-
stander, causing severe impact injury or

death_

kWARNING

Wrong Way Feed

Align Riving Knife to Blade

The goa! of this adjustment is to position the
riving knife directly in line with the blade.

Riving knife alignment is an important safe-
ty factor, The riving knife rides in the kerf of

the cut work_iece during ripping to keep the
two sides of the workpiece from pinching on

the blade. Blade pinching is a cause of kick-
back,

1. Lock yoke in in-rip position (blade

towards column, motor towards front of
arm).

2. Lower arm until blade just clears table,

3. Unlock rip lock while holding up lower
plastic guard, move yoke back until blade

touches fence. Lock rip lock.
