ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules could result in serious personal injury.
• Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your
saw) to replace following safety rules. Always remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufcient to inict
severe injury.
• Obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or another
qualied person if you are not thouroughly familiar with the
operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
• Do not operate this machine until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions. A
machine incorrectly assembled can cause severe injury.
• Secure saw to work bench or stand with clamps or
mounting hardware. Secure work bench or stand to oor.
Vibration can cause machine to slide, walk or tip over.
• Make sure your ngers do not contact the terminals of the
power cord when installing or removing the plug to or from
the line power source.
• Never start the machine with the workpiece against the
blade. The workpiece can be thrown, causing injury.
• Never start the machine until all handles are locked and
the blade is at the correct tension. check for peoper blade
size and type. Abnormal operations cause injuries.
• Do not cut a workpiece that is too small to be safely
supported. When hands are too close to the blade, a
wrong move can cause injury.
• Keep guards in place and working order.
• Material hold-down must be properly set according to
these instructions and remain in position during use. Also,
be sure to properly support long or wide work-pieces.
Loss of control of a workpiece can cause injury.
• Never reach under the table when operating or make
any adjustments when it is running. A moving blade
underneath the table can cause injury.
• Do not use the upper arm as a lifting point.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip can
cause a hand to move into a saw blade or cutting tool. Do
not place ngers or hands in path of the saw blade.
• When removing short workpieces, or cleaning up around
the table, be sure the saw is in the off position and the
blade has stopped moving. A sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the blade and injury could occur.
• Never turn the saw on before clearing the table of
everything (tools, wood scraps, etc.) except the workpiece
and related feed or support devices for the operation
planned. If left on the table, debris can be thrown at high
speeds causing injury. When nsihed, turn the machine
“off”, disconnect the machine from the power source,
and clean the table/work area. Lock the switch in the
“off” position to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else
might accidently start the machine and cause injury to
themselves.
• Do not attempt to saw stock that does not have a at
surface, unless a suitable support is used. This type of
workpiece can pinch the blade before the cut is complete.
Breaking blades can cause injury.
• Hold material rmly against table and feed into blade teeth
at a moderate speed. Loss of control of a workpiece can
cause injury.
• Turn off motor if the material resists being backed out of an
uncompleted cut. Use appropriate speed for applications.
• Make “relief” cuts before cutting long curves. Never
attempt to cut a curve that is too tight. Breaking blades
can cause injury.
• Use caution when cutting round material. This type of
workpiece has a tendency to “roll” and can cause the
blade to bite. Breaking blades can cause injury.
• Additional information regarding the safe and proper
operation of power tools (i.e. a safety video) is available
fom the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue,
Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.
com). Information is also available from the National
Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-
3201. Please refer to the American National Standards
Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking
Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA
1910.213 Regulations.
• ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI (S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other contruction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chamicals 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 ventiliated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specically designed for to lter out
microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other contruction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
• Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.
• Always wear proper personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
