Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting
means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or
nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for
your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a
stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
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.
Make workshop childproof with padlocks and master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Use only a cord 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 gauge 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 gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
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.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the operator's
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may risk injury.
Use only correct blades. Do not use blades with incorrect
size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that
are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity
of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
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.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the 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.
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
6 - English
Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate
in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels,
wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw.
Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories
not recommended may cause serious injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Always keep the blade guard and riving knife (splitter)
in place and in working order.
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.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
blade.
Do not reach behind the blade with either hand from
either side of the saw blade, to support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while
the blade is spinning.
The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting
surface, such as a workbench or leg stand that
positions the saw at waist height. In addition, provide
adequate support such as auxiliary tables, roller support
tables, outfeed supports, etc. when cutting heavy, wide,
or long . Heavy, wide, or long workpieces can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips,
it can lift the blade guard or be thrown by the spinning
blade.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the table saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source. Then work to
free the jammed material. After the material is removed,
verify that the blade is parallel to the miter gauge groove,
and the riving knife and blade are aligned. If the jam
occurred during a rip cut, verify that the rip fence is parallel
to the blade. Adjust if necessary.
