Additional Safety Rules
12. THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION
OF OPERATOR COMMON
SENSE AND ALERTNESS
AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE
TABLE SAW IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity
(gained from fre-
quent use of your table saw) to become
commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of
a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
The
operation
of any
power tool can result
in
foreign
objects
being
thrown into the eyes, which
can result in severe
eye
damage.
Always
wear
safety goggles that comply
with ANSI Z87.1
(shown
on
package)
before
commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created
by power sanding,
sawing,
grinding,
drilling,
and other
construction
activities
contains chemicals
known to
cause cancer,
birth
defects
or other
reproductive
harm. Some examples
of these chemicals
are:
* Lead from lead-based paints,
* Crystalline
silica from bricks
and cement
and other
masonry products, and
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work
with approved
safety
equipment,
such as those
dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation []
is a design concept used in electric
power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It
is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter's Lab-
oratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT:
Servicing of a tool with double insulation re-
quires care and knowledge
of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician.
electrocute.
WHEN SERVICING,
USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACE-
MENT PARTS.
POLARIZED
PLUGS. If your tool is equipped with a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not change the plug in any way.
Extension Cords
Replace
damaged
cords
immediately.
Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or
RECOMMENDED
SIZES OF EXTENSION CORDS
120 VOLT ALTERNATING
CURRENT TOOLS
Always use proper extension
cord. If an
extension
cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate
size conductors
should
be used to prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The
table shows the correct size to use, depending
on cord
length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed
extension cords.
