READ CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE
Read this manual completely and observe all warning labels on the machine. We always make
every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery. Safety, however, is
ultimately the responsibility of the individual machine operator. As with any piece of machinery,
the operator must exercise caution, patience, and common sense, to safely operate the machine.
Before operating this product, become familiar with the safety rules in the following sections.
1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any
medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris. Don't use power tools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the saw is in operation; do not permit
them to operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical
switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead
to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a
well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector. Wear safety glasses that
have impact resistant lenses, also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or other jewelry while the saw is in
operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the
machine and/or the feed table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all moving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear
away chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and in the proper cutting direction before
operation. Only feed the work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter.
11. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead
to accidents. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
13. If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stopping the table saw.
14. Do not force stock into the blade. The saw will perform better and safely when working at the
rate for which it was designed.
15. Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not have a flat surface. Always hold stock
firmly against the fence when ripping, or against the miter gauge when cross-cutting.
16. To minimize risk of injury in the event of work piece kickback, never stand directly in-line with
the blade or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.
