Table Saw Safety Rules; Cutting Procedures - Ryobi RTS10NS Manual Del Operador

 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE AND ANTI-
KICKBACK PAWLS
 Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be
repaired or replaced.
 Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls for every through-cutting
operation. For through-cutting operations where the
saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of
the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help
reduce the risk of injury.
 Immediately reattach the guarding system after
completing an operation (such as rabbeting,
dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal
of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback
pawls. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls
help to reduce the risk of injury.
 Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the
guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the
switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these
items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous
condition.
 Adjust the riving knife as described in the
operator's manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in
reducing the likelihood of kickback.
 For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls to
work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The
riving knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective
when cutting workpieces that are too short to be
engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback
pawls. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be
prevented by the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES

4 - English
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
 Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
 Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade
diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and
the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the
thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of
the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the
riving knife.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

 DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the
vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the
saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
 Feed the workpiece into the saw blade against the
direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the
same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the
table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being
pulled into the saw blade.
 Never use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece
when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a
length stop when cross cutting with the miter
gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence
and the miter gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
 When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding
force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a
push stick when the distance between the fence
and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a
push block when this distance is less than 50 mm.
"Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe
distance from the saw blade.
 Use only the push stick provided by the
manufacturer or constructed in accordance with
the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient
distance of the hand from the saw blade.
