Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and
understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to
the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your table saw works.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the saw's applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED
SURFACES. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. Never
operate the tool with any guard or cover removed. Make
sure all guards are operating properly before each use.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces
of wood on the saw while it is in operation.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power
tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep
work area well lit.
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord while operating.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks or
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer
at the feed rate for which it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for. Don't use it for a purpose not
intended.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN GOOD
CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire
gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear
are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It's safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate tool.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing,
or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc.,
all tools should be disconnected.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, 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 must be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into
a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of blade
or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved
ground connection that are intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
ALWAYS KEEP THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER
(SPLITTER) IN PLACE and in working order.
KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work
or around or over the blade while blade is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
