To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or
jamming of the blade due to pinching of the blade
by shifting boards:
(a) Do not leave a long board unsupported so the
spring of the board causes it to twist or rise
from the table
(b) Check to be sure that pieces will not fall off
the table once they have been cut.
(c) Provide support for the workpiece, based on
its size and the type of operation to be
performed
(d) Never use another person as a substitute fora
table extension, or as an additional support
for a workpiece to assist in feeding, support-
ing, or pulling the workpiece
(e) Never cut workpieces placed side to side or
stacked on top of each other The pieces can
slide on each other.
WEAR YOUR
The operation of any power- tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which
can result in permanent eye damage.. Always wear
safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown
on package) Safety goggles are available at
Sears retail catalog stores Use of goggles or
glasses not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
result in severe injury from breakage of the eye
protection,
To avoid injury from uncontrollable reaction or
thrown objects, never turn the saw "ON" before
clearing the table or work surface of all objects
(tools, scraps of wood, etc..) except the properly
supported workpiece and related feed or support
devices for the operation planned
WHENEVER THE SAW IS RUNNING
-- Always keep alert. Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction
4
of a second is sufficient to inflict severe, permanent
injury
if your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or' if it
vibrates excessively, stop the operation immedi-
ately, Do not restart until the source has been
located and the problem corrected
-- Do not cycle the motor switch "ON" and "OFF"
rapidly, as this might cause the sawblade to
loosen. In the event this should ever occur, turn
the switch off, allow the sawblade to come to a
complete stop, and remove the switch key To
avoid damage to the blade and flange, retighten
the arbor nut normally, not excessively..
-- Never perform any operation freehand injury can
occur from blade contact or' thrown pieces when
the workpiece is torn from the hands.. "Freehand"
means feeding the sawblade into a workpiece or
feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other
cutting tool without using the fence orsome other
proper device to prevent the workpiece from
twisting and binding on the cutting tool during the
cutting operat[on
To avoid accidental blade contact, avoid awkward
hand positions where a sudden slip causes a hand
to move toward the sawblade or other cutting
tool Do not place fingers or hand on the work-
piece or table that is in the path of the sawblade
To avoid injury from unexpected starting, never
attempt to free a stalled sawblade without first
turning the saw "OFF" and removing the switch
key If the sawblade is statfed or' jammed, shut the
saw "OFF", remove the switch key, remove the
workpiece, check for' looseness in clamps, arm
and carriage, check the sawblade squareness to
the table surface and to the fence, and check for
heel (see page 22).. Adjust as indicated.
-- To avoid injury from falling parts or from falling
into the saw, never climb on or near the saw when
its power is "ON" Never leave the saw area when
power' is "ON", or before the cutting tool has
come to a complete stop.
To avoid unauthorized saw use, remove the switch
key and put the key away before leaving the saw
area
BEFORE STARTING A RIPPING TYPE CUT
To avoid injury from being struck by a thrown
workpiece, position the saw so neither you, a
helper', or a casual observer is forced to stand in
line with the sawbtade or workpiece.
-- Whenever possible, use the "in-rip" position_ (See
page 37_) This provides maximum clearance for
feeding by hand, push stick, or push block as
appropriate.
-- To avoid thrown workpieces or being pulled into
the saw before you can react, push the workpiece
