ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAWS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is assembled and installed according to the
instructions.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE FROM another qualified person if you are not familiar with the operation of
this machine.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections.
4. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Check to see that they are in place, secured,
and working correctly.
5. KICKBACK IS THE NATURAL TENDENCY OF THE WORKPIECE TO BE THROWN BACK
AT THE OPERATOR when the workpiece initially contacts the blade or if the workpiece
pinches the blade. Kickback is dangerous and can result in serious injury.
AVOID KICKBACK by:
A. keeping blade sharp and free of rust and pitch.
B. keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
C. using saw blade guard and spreader for every possible operation, including all through
sawing.
D. pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to release.
E. never ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
F. using featherboards when the anti-kickback device cannot be used.
G. never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be controlled.
H. never using the fence as a guide when crosscutting.
I. never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or other flaws.
6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTIKICKBACK FINGERS whenever possible.
7. REMOVE CUT-OFF PIECES AND SCRAPS from the table before starting the saw. The
vibration of the machine may cause them to move into the saw blade and be thrown out. After
cutting, turn the machine off. After the blade has come to a complete stop, remove all debris.
8. NEVER START THE MACHINE with the workpiece against the blade.

SAWING". Ripping and cross-cutting are through-sawing operations. Cutting with the grain
(or down the length of the workpiece) is ripping. Cutting across the grain (or across the
workpiece) is cross-cutting. Use a fence or fence system for ripping. DO NOT use a fence or
fence system for cross-cutting. Instead, use a miter gauge. USE PUSH STICK(S) for ripping a
