TABLE SAW OPERATING PROCEDURE
WARNINGS
Turn off the table saw and remove or
•
disconnect the battery pack when
removing the table insert, changing the
saw blade or making adjustments to the
riving knife, anti-kickback device or saw
blade guard, and when the machine is left
unattended. Precautionary measures will
avoid accidents.
Never leave the table saw running unattended.
•
Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop. An unattended
running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
Locate the table saw in a well-lit and
•
level area where you can maintain good
footing and balance. It should be installed
in an area that provides enough room to
easily handle the size of your workpiece.
Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery
floors invite accidents.
Frequently clean and remove sawdust
•
from under the saw table and/or the dust
collection device. Accumulated sawdust is
combustible and may self-ignite.
The table saw must be secured. A table saw
•
that is not properly secured may move or tip
over.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with
•
padlocks, master switches.
Make sure the floor is clean and non-
•
slippery or non-skid where the table saw is
set up. If you cannot control your motion, you
cannot control the work.
Use only recommended accessories.
•
Use only accessories recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Other
accessories may be hazardous.
Do not use any blade or other cutting tool
•
marked for an operating speed less than
5000/min (RPM). Risk of serious injury.
Ensure that blade or other cutting tool,
•
washers and arbor nut are installed
properly. Reference instructions for removal
and installation of the blade.
Never operate the saw unless the proper
•
insert is installed. Make sure the table insert
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from
•
the table before the table saw is turned
on. Distraction or a potential jam can be
dangerous.
Always use saw blades with correct size
•
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Saw blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run off-
center, causing loss of control.
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.
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.
is flush or slightly below the table surface at
the front and flush to slightly above at the rear
of insert.
Always inspect table saw prior to every
•
use. If any part of your saw is missing,
malfunctioning, or 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.
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 especially
attentive to following proper set-up and
cutting procedures for ripping. Do not stand,
or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a
potential kickback.
