Palmgren Operating Manual & Parts List 9683127
SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED)
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
parts list provided to order repair parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing the blade.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the OFF
position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do
not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped or
if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories. Use of improper accessories may
cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply
into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.) Do not
remove jammed or cut off pieces until the saw is turned off,
unplugged and the blade has stopped.
• Maintain proper adjustment of blade tension, blade guides and
thrust bearings.
• Adjust upper guide to just clear workpiece.
• Hold workpiece firmly against table.
• DIRECTION OF FEED: Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
WARNING:
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool operation.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
