RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can
occur when the blade stalls, drivingthe work
piece back toward the operator. It can pull your
hand into the blade, resultingin serious personal
injury. Stay out of the blade path and turn switch
off immediately if blade bindsor stalls.
USE A SUPPORT FOR THE SIDES AND BACK
.OF THE SAW TABLE when sawing wide or long
workpieces. Use a sturdy "outrigger" support if a
table extension is more than 24 inches longand
is attached to the saw, to prevent tipping.
CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR WOOD-LIKE
MATERIALS. Do notcut metal.
• NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO
NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the
saw table at a time.
DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE
GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard
or cover removed. Make sure all guards are
operating properly before each use.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE-
HAND. Always place the workpieceto be cut on
the saw table and positionit firmly againstthe
fence as a backstop.
USE THE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or
straight edge guide when ripping.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure all adjust-
merits are secure.
• BE SURE THE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF
NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nailsfrom
lumber before cutting. •
• BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE
WORKPIECE. Never start the saw with the blade
touchingthe workpiece.
• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM cu'rrlNG AREA.
Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting •
path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
Always turn the power off.
• USE A PUSH BLOCK OR PUSH STICK for
workpieces so small that your fingers go under
the blade guard. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or
other moving parts during use, for any reason.
,_ WARNING: Blade coasts after being turned off.
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL
SPEED before startinga cut to avoid blade
binding or stalling.
ALWAYS PUSH THE WORKPIECE; never pull it
toward the saw.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY.
Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting
it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting
to power supply. NEVER leave the table saw
unattended while connected to a power source.
BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING
COVERS, GUARDS, OR BLADE; unplug the
saw from power supply.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products,or any solvents to
clean tool.
KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH
SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize
stalling and kickback.
USE ONLY OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS.
Use only extension cords withthe marking
"Acceptable for use with outdoorappliances;
store cords indoorswhile not in use." Use
extension cords with an electrical rating not less
than the saw's rating. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the outletbefore disconnect-
ing the productfrom the extension cord.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have
repaired by a qualifiedservice technician at a
Sears store or repair center. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep it well away
from the moving blade.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
