Blade Safety Instructions - Craftsman 113.196120 Owner's Manual

Safety
3. Rip only workpieces longer than the
diameter of the blade. Do not rip workpieces
that are shorter than the diameter of the
blade being used.
4. Workpieces that extend beyond the saw
table can shift, twist, rise up from the table,
or fall as they are cut or afterwards. Support
workpiece with table extensions the same
height as the saw table.
5. To prevent tipping, support outer ends of
extensions with sturdy legs or an outrigger.
6. Do not use another person to help support
workpieces or to aid by pushing or pulling
on workpieces, because these actions can
cause kickback. Use table extensions.
7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece. It's
safer than using your hands.
Blade Safety Instructions
1. Use only blades marked for at least 3450
rpm.
2. Use only 10" or smaller diameter blades.
3. Use blades for their recommended cutting
procedures.
4. Keep blade sharp and clean.
5. Do not overtighten blade nut because
blade collar could warp.
6. Do not turn saw on and off in rapid
sequence because blade can loosen.
7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds after
saw is switched off. If blade takes longer, the
saw needs repair. Contact Sears Service
Center.
