ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR
TABLE
SAW
1.
ALWAYS use guard, spreader and anti-kickback fingers on all "thru-sawing"
operations. Thru-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts complete-
ly
through the work piece as
in
ripping or cross cutting.
2.
ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the miter gage or fence.
3.
ALWAYS use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applica-
tions in instruction manual where push stick is covered
in
detail.
4.
NEVER perform any operation "free-hand" which means using your hands
to support or guide the work piece. Always use either the fence or the miter
gauge to position and guide the work.
5.
NEVER stand or have any part of your body
in
line with the path of the saw
blade.
6.
NEVER reach behind or over the cutting tool with either hand for any reason.
7.
MOVE the rip fence out of the way when cross cutting.
8.
NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross cutting.
9.
NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw
OFF.
IO.
PROVIDE adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide
or long workpieces.
11.
AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by keeping blade sharp,
keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade, keeping spreader and anti-
kickback fingers and guard in place and operating,
by
not releasing work
before
it
is pushed all the way past the saw blade, and
by
not ripping work
that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.
12.
AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the cutting tool.
13.
Attach this tool with screws either to the optional stand or to a steady stand
or bench with good chip ejection.
14.
Cutting wood with concrete or sand on
it,
or containing old nails, not only
dulls the saw blade; the blade may be damaged and even break, causing
a
serious injury. Clean all stock of nails and adhering material beforehand.
15.
Keep your hands away from the line of cut. Be especially careful with bevel
cuts.
