ping. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to
stand, in line with a potential kickback.
f. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the work-
piece, turn saw “OFF”, remove the workpiece
from the sawblade, and check to see if the saw-
blade is parallel to the table slots or grooves
and if the spreader is in proper alignment with
the sawblade. If ripping at the time, check to
see if rip fence is parallel with the sawblade.
Readjust as indicated.
g. NEVER gang crosscut — lining up more than one
work piece in front of the blade (stacked verti-
cally, or horizontally outward on the table) and
then pushing thru sawblade. The blade could
pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding
or loss of control and possible injury.
h. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become trapped inside the blade
guard while the saw is running. This could en-
danger your hands or cause a kick back. Turn
saw “OFF” and wait until blade stops.
KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
Dull, gummy or improperly sharpened or set cutting
tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall the saw,
or kickback at the operator. Minimize potential in-
jury by proper cutting tool and machine mainte-
nance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE SAW
OFF.
a. NEVER use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, fric tion wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buffing wheels.
b. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
c. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently
worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary
wood facing is attached to the miter gauge.
(See Page 30).
d. Make sure the top of the cutting tool rotates to-
ward you when standing in normal operating
position. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor
collars and arbor nut are installed pro p erly.
Keep the cutting tool as low as possible for the
oper ation being performed. Keep all guards in
place whenever possible.
• Do not use any blade or other cutting tool
marked for an operating speed less than 4800
R.P.M. Never use a cutting tool larger in diame-
ter than the diameter for which the saw was de-
signed. For greatest safety and efficiency when
rip ping, use the maximum diameter blade for
which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader is near est the blade.
e. Make sure the table insert is flush or slightly
below the table surface on all sides except for
rear side. NEVER oper ate the saw unless the
proper insert is installed.
THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COM-
MON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES
WHEN THE TABLE SAW IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained
from fre quent use of your table
saw) to become com mon place. Always remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
The operation of
any power tool
can result in for-
eign objects being
thrown into the
eyes, which can
result in severe
eye damage. Al-
ways wear safety
goggles that com-
ply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack age) before
commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities con-
tains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth de-
fects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Before each use, review all warnings
located on the table saw.
