Safety Rules
10. PROTECTION:
Eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED
--
INTO THE SPINNING
TOOL,
DO NOT WEAR:
Loose Fitting
Gloves
Loose Clothing
Necktie,
Jewelry
DO:
TIE BACK LONG HAIR
ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE
ELBOWS
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning,
has been damaged
or broken ... such as the motor
switch, or other operating control, a safety device or
the power cord ... cease operating immediately until
the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
b. Wear safety goggles and a face shield if operation
is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended
periods of operation.
Small loose pieces of wood or
other objects that contact
the rear of the revolving
blade can be thrown back at the operator at exces-
sive speed. This can usually be avoided by keeping
the guard and spreader in place for all "THRU-SAW-
ING" operations
(sawing entirely thru the work) AND
by removing
all loose pieces from the table with a
long stick of wood iMMEDiATELY
after they are cut
off.
c. Use extra caution when the guard assembly
is re-
moved for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting or molding
-- replace the guard as soon as that operation
is
completed.
d. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing
the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work-
piece and related feed or support devices for the op-
eration planned.
e. NEVER
place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
• NEVER place your fingers and hands in the path of
the sawblade or other cutting tool.
• NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with either
hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove
wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid awkward
operations
and hand positions
where sudden slip
could cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade
or other cutting tool.
• DO NOT perform any operation
"FREEHAND"--
always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to
position and guide the work.
"SAVE
THESE
• NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting
or the
miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT use the rip fence
as a length stop.
• NEVER
hold onto or touch the "free end" of the
workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off, while power
is "ON" and/or the sawblade
is rotating.
• Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect
the power cord
when removing the table insert, changing the cutting
tool, removing or replacing the blade guard, or mak-
ing adjustments.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of
the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
• Plastic and composition
(like hardboard)
materials
may be cut on your saw. However, since these are
usually quite hard and slippery,
the anti-kickback
pawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore, be espe-
cially attentive to following proper set-up and cutting
procedures
for ripping. Do not stand, or permit any-
one else to stand, in line with a potential kickback.
f. If you stall or jam the sawblade
in the workpiece,
turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the saw-
blade, and check to see if the sawblade
is parallel to
the table slots or grooves and if the spreader
is in
proper alignment
with the sawblade.
If ripping at the
time, check to see if rip fence is parallel with the saw-
blade. Readjust as indicated.
g. NEVER gang crosscut--
lining up more than one
workpiece
in front of the blade (stacked vertically, or
horizontally
outward on the table) and then pushing
thru sawblade. The blade could pick up one or more
pieces and cause a binding
or loss of control and
possible injury.
h. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become
trapped
inside the blade guard
while the saw is running. This could endanger
your
hands or cause a kickback. Turn saw "OFF" and wait
until blade stops.
i. Do not reach beyond table saw base. Keep your
hands away from spinning blade.
11. KNOW YOUR CUTTING
TOOLS
Dull, gummy or improperly sharpened
or set cutting
tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall the saw,
or kickback at the operator. Minimize potential injury
by proper cutting tool and machine
maintenance.
NEVER

TO FREE A STALLED
