G0501 Sliding Table Saw -5-
Additional Safety Instructions for Table Saws
7. USING THE RIP FENCE AND THE
CROSSCUT FENCE TOGETHER DUR-
ING A CUTTING OPERATION. 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.
12. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use
blades that have been dropped or other-
wise damaged.
13. RIVING KNIFE ALIGNMENT. Only oper-
ate the saw if the riving knife is aligned with
the main blade.
1. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use the
blade guard and riving knife on all ''through-
sawing'' operations. Through-sawing oper-
ations are those when the blade cuts com-
pletely 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. PUSH STICK. Always use a push stick
when ripping narrow stock.
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 the Model G0501. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail-
ure to pay attention. Use this machine with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator injury. If normal safety precau-
tions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
