ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches.
Make sure the floor is clean and non-slippery or non-skid where the table saw is set up.
If you cannot control your motion, you cannot control the work.
Use only recommended accessories . Use only accessories recommended by the
manufacturer of your model. Other accessories may be hazardous.
Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed less than
4600 R .P .M . Risk of serious injury.
Ensure that blade or other cutting tool, washers and arbor nut are installed properly .
Reference instructions for removal and installation of the blade.
Never operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed . Make sure the table insert is flush
or slightly below the table surface at the front and flush to slightly above at the rear of insert.
Always inspect table saw prior to every use . If any part of your saw is missing,
malfunctioning, or 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.
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.
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.
Use auxiliary facing on miter gauge to increase stability and control . Crosscutting
operations are more conveniently worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing
board is attached to the miter gauge. See “Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing.”
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions . Where a sudden slip could cause fingers
or hand to move into the sawblade or other cutting tool.
If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece, turn saw “OFF” and unplug the tool,
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 the rip fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as
indicated.
Think Safety. Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times
when the table saw is being used.
