g) Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Saw blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the
saw will run off-center, causing
loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting means such as flanges, saw blade
washers, bolts or nuts.
These mounting means
were specially designed for your saw, for safe
operation and optimum performance.
i) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a
stepping stool.
Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate
in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels,
wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table
saw.
Improper saw blade installation or use of
accessories not recommended may cause serious
injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
WARNINGS
1) This saw must be connected to a grounded wiring
system or to a system having an equipment-
). In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
saw is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not
fit the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician. Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock and/or malfunction.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
2) Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if in doubt as to whether
the saw is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
saw’s plug (
). Repair or replace a
damaged or worn cord immediately.
3) Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your saw will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. For
a cord length of 0 to 25 feet, use a 12 gauge (4
mm
2
) cord. For a cord length of 25 to 50 feet, use
a 10 gauge (6 mm
2
) cord. A cord length over 50
feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
4) This saw is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated later
in this manual (
). The saw has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
later in this manual (
). Make sure
the saw is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. An adapter may be used
temporarily for a two-prong outlet. The grounding
lug or tab on the adapter must be connected to the
ground connection on a properly grounded outlet
). If the saw must be reconnected
for use on a different type of electric circuit, the
reconnection should be made by qualified service
personnel; and after reconnection, the saw should
comply with all local codes and ordinances.
5) You must use the rip fence when using this saw
for rip cutting. Attempting to use the saw for
rip cutting without the rip fence could result in
serious personal injury.
6) Use a blade guard and spreader for every
operation for which it can be used, including all
through-sawing. Use a push stick or push block
when required.
7) Use only recommended accessories with the
saw. Consult this manual for recommended
accessories (
). The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury. When
servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
8) Devices that emit electrical noise in the range of
400-600 kHz might cause the brake cartridge to
activate. Keep such devices away from the saw.
9) Always connect the saw to a an RCD (residual
current device) (
) having a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
