19. Be sure the saw blade rotates clockwise when viewed from the motor side (left side) of the machine.
20. Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots or with nails or other foreign material, on its surface.
Do not attempt to saw twisted, warped, bowed or “in wind” stock unless one edge has been jointed for
guiding purposes prior to sawing. Do not attempt to saw long or wide boards unsupported where
spring or weight could cause the board to shift position.
21. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on. Remove loose items and unnecessary
work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
22. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately upon completion of maintenance.
23. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
24. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
25. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
26. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
27. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
28. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
29. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
30. Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to
remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.
31. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
Never remove the blade insert with the machine running.
32. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
33. Never leave the tablesaw running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the tablesaw until
the blade has come to a complete stop.
