Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS
WARNING:
DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT
(GAINED FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO
PRODUCT SAFETY RULES. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury!
•
Do not cut metals with the table saw.
Table saws are designed to cut wood-like or
plastic materials. However, some wood and plastic materials are quite hard and slippery. The anti-
kickback pawls may not stop kick back. Do not stand, or let anyone stand in line with potential
kickback.
• To avoid tipping your table saw in operation, firmly BOLT it to a work
stand or bench.
Long work pieces need extra support on the out-feed side.
• Unplug saw from power source before making adjustments, repairs,
maintenance or storing.
Accidental start up can cause serious personal injury.
• Do not turn on the table saw before clearing the table of all tools,
wood scraps,
etc, except the work piece and related feed or supporting devices
• Wear eye and hearing protection.
Always use safety glasses with side shields,
unless otherwise specified, everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance, they are not
safety glasses, use only approved certified safety equipment; eye protection should comply with
ANSI z87.1 standards, protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.
• Protect your lungs. Wear face or dust mask.
Following this rule will reduce the
risk of personal injury.
• Tie back long hair and roll long sleeves above the elbow.
Do NOT wear
loose fitting gloves, loose clothing, jewelry and other items which can be caught in rotating parts
and cause serious personal injury.
• Always use blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback pawls on all
through cutting operations.
The guard system is designed to reduce the intensity of
kickback and keep your hands away from the spinning blade.
