a To avoid injury from accidentai b!ade contact,
doHt do iayout, assembly, or setup work ors the
tab!e while the b_ade is spinning. It could cut or
throw anything hitting the b_ade.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure switch is
in "OFF" position before plugging saw in.
Plan your work
I. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or attach_
ment to do a job it was not designed for.
2. DRESS FOR SAFETY:
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.
Wear nonstip footwear.
Tie back long hair.
Roil long sleeves above the elbow.
Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possibte hear-
ing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using
saw for tong periods of time.
Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage.
Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are
available at Sears retain catalog stores. Glasses
or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could seriously hurt you when they break.
WEAR YOUR
For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
withthe safety goggles.
3. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no nails
or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be
cdt-
4. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-
BACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece binds
on the btade and is thrown violently back toward the
front of the saw.
Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either a rip
fence, miter gauge or fixture to position and guide
the work, so it won't twist, bind on the blade and
kickback.
Make sure there's no debris between the work-
piece and its supports.
When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade.
A piece of molding, for example, must lie fiat or
be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist,
rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs, fixtures
where needed to prevent workpiece shifting.
Use a different, better suited type of tool for
work that can't be made stable.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awk-
ward workpieces:
Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,
etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when
not held down on the table top. NEVER use
another person as a substitute for a table exten-
sion, or as additional support for a workpiece that
is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to
help feed, support or pull the workpiece.
Never confine the piece being cut off. That is, the
piece NOT against the fence, miter gauge or fix-
ture= Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use length
stops against it. It must be free to move. If con-
fined, it could get wedged against the blade and
cause a kickback or throwback.
Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.
Never turn your table saw "ON" before clearing
even/thing except the workpiece and related sup-
port devices off the table.
