Safety Instructions for Table Saws
8. CROSSCUTTING OPERATIONS. Remove
the rip fence whenever using the miter
gauge to crosscut a workpiece.
9. CUT-OFF PIECES. Stop the blade before
removing cut-off pieces.
10. BLADE HEIGHT. Always adjust the blade
to the proper height above the workpiece.
11. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide ade
-
quate support to the rear and sides of the
saw table for wide or long workpieces.
12. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use
blades that have been dropped or other-
wise damaged.
13. DADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS
Dado and rabbeting operations require
special attention because those operations
must be performed with the blade guard
removed. Be especially aware of your per
-
sonal safety whenever operating saw with
the guard removed, and always immedi
-
ately replace the blade guard after these
operations are complete.
14. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at
any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Contact our Service
Department at (570) 546-9663.
1. SAFETY GUARDS. Always use the blade
guard, splitter, and anti-kickback fingers
on ''through-sawing'' operations. The blade
cuts completely through the top of the
workpiece on through-sawing operations.
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. REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never
reach behind or over the blade while the saw
is running. Hands or arms could be pulled
into the saw blade if kickback occurs.
4. WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the
workpiece is stable on the table and is sup
-
ported by the rip fence or the miter gauge
during cutting operations. DO NOT perform
any cutting operations free-hand.
5. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use push sticks,
hold-downs, featherboards, and other
devices to increase cutting safety.
6. OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or
have any part of your body directly in-line
with the cutting path of the saw blade.
7. COMFORTABLE POSITION. Avoid opera
-
tions and hand positions where a slip could
cause your hand to move into the 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.
