19. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
20. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must
be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating
up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical
damage to the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord of 0 to 10 amps
capability (up to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer extension cords
require larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated
for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
21. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualified technician.
Safety Precautions When Using Radial Saws
1. Disconnect the line cord from the electrical outlet before servicing the Radial Arm Saw.
2. After cutting, wait until the saw blade comes to a complete stop before removing stock
from the table, reaching around the saw blade, or leaving the area.
3. Never walk away and leave the saw running.
4. When making rip cuts, feed the stock into the blade against the direction of the blade
rotation.
5. Always use a push stick when ripping small or thin stock.
6. Keep saw blade sharp and free of all rust and pitch.
7. Always use the anti-kickback finger attachment when making rip cuts. Feed stock from
the opposite end from the anti-kickback finger attachment.
8. Always use the saw blade guides and fence, and never push stock being cut by hand.
9. Tighten and lock all adjusting (saw blade positioning) screws before operating.
10. Keeps hands out of the path of the saw blade during operation.
11. Only use 8-inch saw blades with 5/8 inch arbor on this machine.
12. Always secure the stock being cut with clamps whenever possible.
13. Make sure that the Switch is in the OFF position before plugging the line cord into the
electrical outlet.
14. Many saw accidents are caused by dull, badly set, and improperly filed cutting blades;
gum or resin adhering to the cutting blade; and by saw blade misalignment with the
fence. Such conditions can cause the stock to stick, jam, stall the saw blade, or kick
back at the operator. Never use carbide blades to cut anything other than wood;
cutting hard materials can cause the carbide blade to shatter and break apart.
