Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
TABLE SAW
1. Always use a guard, splitter and anti-kick-
back fingers on all “thru-sawing” operations.
Thru-sawing operations are those when the
blade cuts completely through the work piece
as in ripping or crosscutting.
2. Always hold the work firmly against the mi-
ter gauge or fence.
3. Always use a pushstick for ripping narrow
stock. Refer to ripping applications in instruc-
tion manual where push sticks are covered in
detail.
4. Never perform any operations “free-hand”
which means using your hands to support or
guide the work piece. Always use either the
fence or the miter gauge to position and guide
the work piece.
5. Never stand or have any part of your body in
line with the path of the saw blade.
6. Never reach behind or over the cutting tool
with either hand for any reason.
7. Move the rip fence out of the way when
crosscutting.
8. When cutting mouldings, never run the
stock between the fence and the moulding
cutter-head. Refer to moulding applications in
the accessory manual for details.
9. Direction of feed. Feed work into the blade
against the direction of rotation.
10. Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge
when you are cross-cutting.
11. Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade
without first turning the saw off.
12. Provide adequate support to the rear and
sides of the table saw for wide or long work
pieces.
13. Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back to-
wards you) by keeping the blade sharp, by
keeping the rip fence parallel to the saw blade,
by keeping the splitter and anti-kickback fin-
gers and guard in place and operating, by not
releasing work before it is pushed all the way
past the saw blade, and by not ripping work
that is twisted or warped or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
14. Avoid awkward operations. Avoid awk-
ward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move
into the spinning blade.
DEFINITION OF TERMS

to the blade guard and splitter assembly de-
signed to minimize the chance of a workpiece
