Tool
Care
DO NOT ALTER
OR MISUSE TOOL
These
tools are precision
built. Any alteration
or
modification
not specified
is misuse and may result
in dangerous
conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS
AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres.
Motors in these tools normally spark,
and may result in a dangerous
condition.
MAINTAIN
TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp
and clean for better and safer
performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing
accessories.
Inspect
tool cords periodi-
cally and if damaged,
have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged.
Keep handles
dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
_
Before
connecting
the tool to a
__
power source
(receptacle,
outlet,
etc.), be sure voltage
supplied is the same as that
specified
on the nameplate
of the tool. A power
source with voltage
greater than that specified
for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user--
as
well as damage
to the tool. If in doubt,
DO NOT
PLUG IN THE TOOL.
Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to
the motor.

to the instruc-
tions ... and until you have read and understood the

7, STABILITY
OF SAW
Your table saw MUST BE BOLTED securely
to a
stand or workbench.
In addition,
if there is any ten-
dency for the table saw to tip over or move during
certain
operations
such
as cutting
long,
heaw
boards, use an auxiliary support.
8. LOCATION
Use the table saw in a well lit area and on a level
surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk
of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator
nor the casual observer is forced to stand in line with
the blade.
9. KICKBACK
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A"KICKBACK"
occurs when a part of the workpiece
binds between
the sawblade
and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Workpiece
binding the blade due to misalignment,
can also cause kickback.
During
kickback,
work-
piece rises from table and is thrown toward the op-
erator. Keep your face and body to one side of the
sawblade,
out of line with a possible "KICKBACK".
KICKBACKS
AND POSSIBLE
INJURY CAN
USUALLY
BE AVOIDED
BY:
a. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the sawblade.
b. Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replacing or sharp-
ening anti-kickback
pawls when points become dull.
c. Keeping sawblade
guard, spreader
and anti-kick-
back pawls in place and operating
properly.
The
spreader
must be in alignment
with the sawblade
and the pawls must stop a kickback
once it has
started. Check their action before ripping.
d. NOT ripping workpiece
that is twisted or warped
or does not have a straight edge to guide along the
rip fence.
e. NOT releasing
work until you have pushed it all
the way past the sawblade.
f. Using a Push Stick for ripping widths of 2" to 6"
and an auxiliary fence and Push Block for ripping
widths narrower than 2" (See "Basic Saw Operation,
Using The Rip Fence" section, pages 29, 30).
g. NOT confining
the cut-off piece when ripping or
crosscutting.
h. When ripping, apply the feed force to the section
of the workpiece
between the sawblade
and the rip
fence. Use Push Stick or Push Block when appro-
priate (See item f. above).
