Additional Safety Rules for Table Saw
WARNING: For your own safety, do not operate your saw until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions and until you have read and
understood the following :
All Safety Rules
• Assembly Procedures
• Operating Controls
• Adjustment Procedures
• Basic Operations
KEEP guards in place and in working order.
STABILITY. Make sure table saw is firmly mounted before use.
MINIMISE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL. Most accidents are caused by failure to
follow setup and operating instructions.
AVOID awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into a saw blade or other cutting tool. Never reach in back of, or around, the
cutting tool with either hand to hand down the workpiece. DO NOT PLACE
FINGERS OR HANDS IN THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE.
NEVER reach under your machine when operating or make any adjustments
when it is running.
SHUT OFF the saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table
insert, changing the cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade guard, or making
adjustments.
ALWAYS maintain control of the workpiece. DO NOT let go of the workpiece until
it is well clear of the cutting tool.
WHEN REMOVING short workpieces, or cleaning up around the table, be sure
the saw is in the OFF position and blade has stopped turning.
NEVER turn the saw ON before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc.,
except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation
planned.
WHEN changing saw location, disconnect power.
USE extra caution when the guard assembly is removed for resawing, dadoing,
rabbeting, or moulding. Replace the guard as soon as that operation is
completed.
NEVER hold onto or touch the “free end” of the workpiece or a “free piece” that is
cut off, while power is ON and/or the saw blade is rotating.
