Before using your table saw, it is critical that you read and understand these safety rules. Failure to follow these rules
could result in serious injury or damage to the table saw.
Good safety practices are a combination of common
sense, staying alert and understanding how to use your
power tool. To avoid mistakes that could cause serious
injury, do not plug in your power tool until you have read
and understood the following safety rules:
1.
READ and become familiar with this entire Operator's
Manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations and
possible hazards.
WARNING
2.
Look for this symbol that identifies important safety
precautions. It means CAUTION! BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
3.
NEVER OPERATE THIS MACHINE WITHOUT THE
SAFETY GUARD IN PLACE FOR ALL THROUGH
SAWING OPERATIONS.
4.
DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT
such as damp or wet locations or exposure to rain.
Keep work area well lighted.
5.
DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
6.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
7.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from the work area.
8.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
11. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing,
cutting and sanding operations produce dust.
12. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, cutters, etc.
13. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before
plugging into the power supply.
14. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the Operator's Manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause injury to you or damage to the tool.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.
16. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER "OFF". Do not leave the tool
before it comes to a complete stop.
17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
18. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
19. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for most efficient and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
20. CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR LOOSE PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure
it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, loose
binding of moving parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its safe operation. A guard
or other part that is loose or damaged should be
properly adjusted repaired or replaced.
21. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the
influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that
could impair your ability to use the tool safely.
23. USE DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM wherever possible.
Dust generated from certain materials can be
hazardous to your health and in some cases, a fire
hazard. Always operate the power tool in a well-
ventilated area with adequate dust removal.
24. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool
can throw foreign objects into your eyes that could
cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety
goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety
standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they
break.
25. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
