21. DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR MEDICATIONS. DO NOT
operate tool if you are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication that could affect your ability
to use the tool properly.
22. SECURE ALL WORK. When practical, use clamps or
a vise to hold work. Itis safer than using your hands
and prevents round or odd-shaped pieces from turning.
23. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade
or cutter only.
24. WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can
be injurious to your health. Always operate saw in well
ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal.
25. USE 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 product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
SPECIFIC SAF,--rY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE TABLE SAW
1.
ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD spreader and
anti-kickback pawls for every operation for which
they can be used. including through-sawing.
Through-sawing operations are those in which the
blade cuts completely through the work piece
when ripping or cross cutting.
2. ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK FIRMLY against the
miter gauge or rip fence.
,
USE A PUSH STICK when required. Always use a
push stick for ripping narrow stock. Referto ripping
applications in the instruction manual where the
push stick is covered in detail. See the push stick
pattern included in this Instruction Manual.
4.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION
"FREE HAND", which means using your hands
only to support or guide the work piece. Always
use either the fence or the miter gauge to position
and guide the work.
5. NEVER STAND or have any part of your body
in line with the path of the saw blade, Keep your
hands out of the line of the saw blade.
6. NEVER REACH behind or over the cutting tool
for any reason.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be
sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada)
to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired, and
in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas,
7. REMOVE the rip fence when cross*cutting.
8. DO NOT USE molding head set with this saw.
9. FEED WORK INTO THE BLADE against the
direction of rotation only.
10. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge when
cross-cutting.
11. NEVER ATTEMPTTO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE without first turning the saw OFF.Turn
off power switch immediately to prevent motor
damage.
12, PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and
sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
(when using 120 volts only)
Ampere Rating Total length of cord In feet

13.
AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back towards you)
by keeping the blade sharp, keeping the rip fence
parallel to the saw blade, and by keeping the
spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and guard in place
and operating. Do not release work before it is
pushed all the way past the saw blade. Do not rip
work that is twisted, warped, or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
