N. Provideadequatesupportto the rearand
sides of the saw table for wider or long
workpieces.
O. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)
materials may be cut on your saw. However,
since these are usually quite hard and
slippery, the antikickback 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
P. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the
workpiece, turn saw "OFF", remove the
workpiece from the sawblade and check to
see if the sawblade is parallel to the miter
gauge grooves and if the spreader is in
proper alignment with the sawblade. If
ripping at the time, check to see if the rip
fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust
as indicated.
Q. 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.
R. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a
twisted grain or is twisted or bowed it may
rock on the table and/or pinch the sawblade.
9. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A. 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 ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING
THE SAW OFF.
B. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting
blades) wire wheels or buffing wheels.
10. USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR
THIS SAW.
11. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently
worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary
wood facing is attached to the miter gauge using
the holes provided. However, the facing must
not interfere with the proper functioning of the
sawblade guard.
12. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool
rotates toward you when standing in normal
operating position. Also make sure the cutting
t0ol, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed
properly. Keep the cutting tool as low as
_)osstble for the operation being performed
when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade
f0 r which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader ts nearest the blade
14. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.
NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert
is installed.
15. NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from
the rear of the saw. An accident and serious
injury could result.
17. NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
saw table, orto assist in feeding or supporting or
pulling the work piece.
DO NOT pu the workpiece through the
sawblade - position your body at the nose (in-
feed) side of the guard: start and complete the
cut from the same side. This will require added
table support for long or wide workpeices that
extend beyond the length or width of the saw
table.
18. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at all times when the saw is
being used.
19. NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF
YOUR SAW.
