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 sawblade or
other cutting tool.
•
DO NOT perform any operation “FREEHAND” — always use the fence to position and guide
the work for both rip cuts and crosscuts.
•
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 sawblade is rotating.
•
Shut “OFF” the saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert,
changing the cutting tool, 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 kick back.
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.
e. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece, turn saw “OFF”, remove the workpiece
from the sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is parallel to the table slots or grooves
and if the spreader is in proper alignment with the sawblade. If ripping at the time, check to
see if rip fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.
f. NEVER gang crosscut — lining up more than one work piece in front of the blade (stacked
vertically, or horizontally outward on the table) and then pushing thru sawblade. The blade
could pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding or loss of control and possible injury.
g. 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 kick back. 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. Make sure the cutting tool rotates in the same direction as the rotation arrow on the upper
guard. 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.
d. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed less than 11,000
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 rip ping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed, since under these conditions the spreader is nearest
the blade.
e. 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.
