TABLE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

AVOID KICKBACK. Pay particular attention to the
y
instructions (below) for reducing risk of kickback.
OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor,
y
or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine.
Knowledge is safety.
DRESS PROPERLY. Wear appropriate apparel, eye
y
protection, hearing protection and dust protection
as specified in the General Power Tool Safety
Section of this manual.
PROPER ASSEMBLY. Do not operate this saw until
y
it is completely assembled and installed according
to the instructions.
STABILITY. Make sure table saw is properly
y
assembled and located on a stable surface before
use to keep saw from moving during cut. Do not
attempt the substitute a table or other surface for
the leg assembly.
USE CORRECT BLADE AND RIVING KNIFE for
y
the intended operation. The blade must be installed
so the points of the teeth are pointing toward the
front of the saw. Do not use oversized blade or
blade with incorrect arbor opening. Always tighten
the blade arbor nut securely. Before use, inspect
the blade for cracks or missing teeth. Do not use
a damaged or dull blade. Always use blade within
the thickness range for which the riving knife is
designed.
USE PROPER THROAT PLATE. The proper throat
y
plate must be in place and properly secured at all
times to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and
possible injury.
USE SAW BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE
y
AND ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS. Your saw is
equipped with a modular blade guard, riving
knife and anti-kickback pawl assembly. Each
of these components should be used for every
possible operation, including all through cuts. This
assembly is discussed in more detail below. Make
sure components are securely installed prior to
operation.
NEVER CUT METALS, CEMENT BOARD OR
y
MASONRY. Certain man-made materials have
special instructions for cutting on table saws. Follow
the manufacturer's recommendations at all times.
SUPPORT YOUR WORKPIECE based on its
y
size and the type of operation to be performed.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the fence
and down against the table surface. Do not
attempt to cut a wide panel or long board which
hangs, unsupported, beyond the end of the
table surface. The weight of a workpiece, if not
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
properly supported, may causes it to shift on the
table resulting in loss of control. An unsupported
workpiece which hangs beyond the table surface
may pinch the blade during a cut, which leads to
kickback.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY OR SET-
y
UP WORK ON THE TABLE/WORK AREA when the
saw is running.
USE A PUSH STICK that is appropriate to the
y
application to push and hold down a workpiece
through the completion of the cut. A push stick is
a wooden or plastic stick, usually homemade, that
should be used whenever the size or shape of the
workpiece would cause you to place your hands
within 6 in. (152 mm) of the blade. Instructions for
making a push stick are included in this manual. A
push stick is also provided with this saw.
NEVER Perform freehand cutting, plunge cutting,
y
re-sawing, or cove cutting.
CHECK WORKPIECE AND SET-UP before each
y
operation. Knots, irregularities, or nails in workpiece
and positioning mistakes or incomplete set-up
may interfere with or affect saw performance and
personal safety.
NO FREEHAND CUTS. Always use a rip fence,
y
miter gauge, or other appropriate devices to guide
or hold down the workpiece. Use hold-downs, jigs,
fixtures or feather boards to help guide and control
The workpiece. Accessories for use with your saw
are available at extra cost from your local dealer or
authorized service center.
DO NOT USE RIP FENCE AND MITER GAUGE AT
y
THE SAME TIME.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
y
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause
a hand to move into a saw blade. Operate with
table at or near waist level for maximum balance
and control. Anticipate effect of workpiece size on
your ability to adjust position and maintain control
through completion of cut.
KEEP ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS AT LEAST
y
SIX INCHES AWAY FROM THE BLADE.
KEEP HANDS AND OTHER BODY PARTS OUT
y
OF THE BLADE PATH. NEVER have any part of
your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
NEVER START THE SAW WITH THE WORKPIECE
y
AGAINST THE BLADE to reduce the risk of a
thrown workpiece.
DO NOT REACH OVER/REACH AROUND. Never
y
reach over, in back of, or around the cutting tool with
either hand while the blade is in motion.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED BLADE OR
