Additional Safety Rules
Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in gaseous or explosive at mospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user — as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
STABILITY OF SAW
Your table saw MUST BE BOLTED securely to a stand or workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the table saw to tip over or move during certain operations such as cutting long, heavy boards, use an auxiliary support.
LOCATION
Use the table saw in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand in line with the blade.
KICKBACK
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A ―KICKBACK‖ occurs when a part of the workpiece binds
between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. Workpiece binding the blade due to misalignment can also cause kickback. During kickback, workpiece rises from table and is thrown toward the operator. Keep your face and body to one side of the saw blade, out of line with a possible ―KICKBACK‖.
KICKBACKS AND POSSIBLE INJURY CAN USUALLY BE AVOIDED BY:
a. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the saw blade. b. Keeping the saw blade sharp. Replacing or sharpening anti-kickback pawls when points become
dull.
c. Keeping saw blade guard, spreader and anti-kickback pawls in place and operating properly. The
spreader must be in alignment with the saw blade and the pawls must stop a kickback once it has started. Check their action before ripping.
5
d. NOT ripping workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along
the rip fence.
e. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all the way past the saw blade. f. Using a Push Stick for ripping widths of 2" to 6" and an auxiliary fence and Push Block for ripping
widths narrower than 2" (See ―Basic Saw Operation, Using the Rip Fence ―section.).
g. NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or cross -cutting. h. When ripping, apply the feed force to the section of the workpiece between the sawblade and the
rip fence. Use
Push Stick or Push Block when appropriate (See item f. above).
PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, face, ears and body. TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE SPINNING TOOL,
DO NOT WEAR: Loose Fitting Gloves, Loose Clothing, Necktie, Jewelry DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR, ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS
a. If any part of your saw is missing, 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 and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during
extended periods of operation. 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 all ―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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. NEVER place your face or body in line with the cutting tool.
• NEVER place your fingers and hands in the path of the saw blade or other cutting tool.
• 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 sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a saw blade or other cutting tool.
• DO NOT perform any operation ―FREEHAND‖ — always use either the rip fence or the miter
gauge to position and guide the work.
• 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 workpiece or a ―free piece‖ that is cut off,
while power is ―ON‖ and/or the saw blade is rotating.
• 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.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
• Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However, since
these are usually quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback 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 else to stand, in line with a potential kickback.
f. If you stall or jam the saw blade in the workpiece, turn saw ―OFF‖, remove the workpiece from the
saw blade, and check to see if the saw blade is parallel to the table slots or grooves and if the
6
spreader is in proper alignment with the saw blade. If ripping at the time, check to see if rip fence is parallel with the saw blade. Readjust as indicated.
g. NEVER gang crosscut — lining up more than one workpiece in front of the blade (stacked
vertically or horizontally outward on the table) and then pushing thru saw blade. The blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding or loss of control and possible injury.
h. 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.
KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
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 tool and machine maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE SAW OFF. a. NEVER use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire
wheels or buffing wheels.
b. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. c. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood
facing is attached to the miter gauge.
d. Make sure the top of the 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.
e. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed less than 5000 R.P.M.
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.
f. Make sure the table insert is flush or slightly below the table surface on all sides except for rear
side. NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.
THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE TABLE SAW IS BEING USED. Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your table saw) to become common place. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury. The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Extension Cords
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electrical shock. Tools equipped with an electrical cord having an equipment-grounding conductor must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided in any way. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burned-out; use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A .W .G.) of extension cord. Use only three (3) wire extension cords that have three (3) prong grounding plugs, and three (3) pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)
(When using 120 V only)
Grounding Instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by an electrician.
8
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
