G0444/G0444Z 10" Table Saw -5-
Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws
7. USING RIP FENCE AND CROSSCUT
FENCE TOGETHER. When using the
crosscut fence, the workpiece should
never be contacting the rip fence while the
saw blade is cutting.
8. STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw off
before attempting to "free" a stalled saw
blade.
9. COMFORTABLE CUTTING OPERA-
TIONS. Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the spinning
saw blade.
10. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties per-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact our Service
Department at (570) 546-9663.
11. BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade
to the proper height above the workpiece
(when through-cutting).
12. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use
blades that have been dropped or other-
wise damaged; otherwise, serious person-
al injury could occur.
13. PUSH STICK. Always use a push stick
when ripping narrow stock.
1. BLADE GUARD. Always use the blade
guard on all ''through-sawing'' operations.
Through-sawing operations are those
when the blade cuts completely through the
workpiece.
2. KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback.
Kickback happens when the workpiece is
thrown towards the operator at a high rate
of speed. Until you have a clear under-
standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO
NOT operate this table saw!
3. WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the
workpiece is placed in a stable position on
the table and is either supported by the rip
fence or the crosscut table during cutting
operations.
4. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use feather-
boards, push sticks, hold-downs, and other
safety devices to make cutting operations
safe.
5. OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or
have any part of your body directly in-line
with the cutting path of the saw blade.
6. REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never
reach behind or over the blade with either
hand while the saw is running. If kickback
occurs while reaching over the blade,
hands or arms could be pulled into the
spinning saw blade.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associated
with this machine. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Use this machine with respect and
caution to lessen the possibility of operator
injury. If normal safety precautions are over-
looked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.
