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 ether 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 couId 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.
® 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 sawbtade is rotating.
® Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord when
removing the table insert, changing the cutting toot,
removing or replacing the blade guard, or making
adjustments.
® Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw
table for wider or long workpiece&
® Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be
cut on your saw. However, since these are usually quite
hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawIs 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.
f° If you stall or iam the sawbIade in the workpiece, turn saw
"OFF", remove the workpiece from the sawblade, and
check to see if the sawbtade 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 sawbiade. Readiust as indicated.
g° NEVER gang crosscut -- lining up more than one work-
piece 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 iniury.
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 kick-
back. Turn saw "OFF" and wait until blade stops.
11, KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
Dull, gummy or improperly sharpened or set cutting tools
can cause material to stick, iam, stall the saw, or kickback
at the operator. Minimize potential injury by proper cutting
toot and machine maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE
A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE
SAW OFF.
a° NEVER use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels, fric-
tion wheels (metal slitting blades) wire wheels or buffing
wheels.
b° USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
c° Crosscutting operations are more conveniently worked
and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is
attached to the miter gauge. (See Page 22 & 23).
d. Make sure the top of the cutting tool rotates toward you
when standing in normal operating position. Also make sure
the cutting tool, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed pro-
periy. Keep the cutting tool as low as possible for the oper-
ation being performed. Keep all guards in place whenever
possible.
Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an
operating speed less than 4800 R.P.M. Never use a cutting
tool larger in diameter than the diameter for which the saw
was designed. For greatest safety and efficiency when rip-
ping, use the maximum diameter blade for which the saw is
designed, since under these conditions the spreader is
nearest the blade.
e° Make sure the table insert is flush or slightly below the
table surface on all sides except for rear side. NEVER oper-
ate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.
NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY iNSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR
ON THE FRONT OF YOUR TABLE SAW.
