provide additional guarding from contact with the
front of the blade.
--To prevent the cutting tool from grabbing the
table or workpiece and being propelled toward
you, never lower a revolving cutting tool into the
table or a workpiece without first locking the rip
lock handle and clamping the workpiece in place.
Release the handle only after having firmly
grasped the carriage handle.
-- To avoid blade contact orinjuryfrom athrown cut
off piece, never use a length stop on the cut off
end or edge of theworkpiece. Never hang onto or
touch the cut off piece of the workpiecewhile the
power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating. To
prevent pinching that could cause the piece to be
thrown, the cut off piece must never be confined,
pushed, or grabbed while the blade is spinning.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
--To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or
jamming of the blade, make sure the workpiece
wilt fit the supports (fence, table, fixtures or jigs)
so it will not twist, rock or otherwise bind on the
cutting too!. Make sure there is no sawdust or
other foreign material between the workpiece and
its support.
WHILE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT
--Always start with the carriage in the full rear
position behind the fence before turning the saw
On.
-- Never push the carriage and blade backwards
into the work to do a crosscutting type operation.
The cutting tool can throw the work over the
fence, striking someone or causing you to fall into
the blade.
-- Always return the carriage to the full rearward
position behind the fence at the completion of
each crosscut type operation. Never remove your
hand from the yoke handle unless the carriage is
in this position. Otherwise, the cutting tool may
climb up on the workpiece and be propelled
toward you.
BEFORE USING ACCESSORIES
To avoid injury from unanticipated hazards, use
only recommended accessories as listed on page
57.
The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off
wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and are
not recommended. Such devices can break ex-
plosively and throw shrapnel, causing severe
injury.
The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool must be
removed from the saw arbor before using the
accessory shaft. Never operate the saw with
cutting tools (including sanding accessories or
buffing) instal led on both ends of the saw arbor to
avoid being pulled into moving parts by hair,
threads, clothing, etc. Make sure the unused
arbor is always covered by a guard, the arm, or the
screw cap.
Using a drill chuck. To avoid injury from sudden
bending or breaking of a drill bit, do not install or
use twist drills longer than 7" in length or extend-
ing more than 6" beyond the chuck jaws. Do not
install or use any reduced shank drill except the
spade type (1" diameter or smaller). Use for
drilling wood or plastic only - bit speed cannot be
properly adjusted for other materials. Do not use
twist drills larger than 1/2" in diameter.
glossary of terms for woodworking
Anti-Kickback Pawls (AKB)
Device which, when properly adjusted, is designed
to stop the workpiece from being kicked back at the
operator during ripping operations. See illustrations
on pages 31 & 39.
Arbor
The shaft on which a cutting tool is mounted.
Crosscut
A cutting or shaping operation made across the
width of the workpiece. See illustrations on pages
40-42.
Dado
A non-through cut which produces a square sided
notch or trough in the workpiece.
Featherboard
A device which can assist in guiding workpieces
during rip type operations.
Freehand
Performing a cut without the use of fence (guide),
hold down or other proper device to prevent the
workpiece from twisting during the cutting opera-
tion. Twisting of the workpiece can cause it to be
thrown or kicked back by a radial saw.
Gum
A sticky, sap based residue from wood products.
Heel
Misalignment of the blade. See page 30.
In-Rip
Positioning the blade parallel to the fence with the
motor toward the front of the saw. See illustration on
page 44.
Kerf
The amount of material removed by the blade in a
through cut or the slot produced by the blade in a
non-through or partial cut.
Kickback
An uncontrolled grabbing and throwing of the work-
piece back toward the operator during a rip type
operation.
Leading End
The end of the workpiece which, during a rip type
operation, is pushed into the cutting tool first.
Molding
A non-through cut which produces a special shape
in the workpiece used for joining or decoration.
