Craftsman 351.228031 Operator's Manual page 5

USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR SAW
• Crosscutting operations are worked more conveniently and
with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is attached
to miter gauge using holes provided. However, facing must
not interfere with proper functioning of saw blade guard.
• Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in normal operating position.
Also make sure the cutting tool, blade flange and arbor
nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting tool as low
as possible for the operation being performed. Keep all
guards in place whenever possible.
• Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for oper-
ating speed less than 4000 RPM. Never use a cutting tool
larger in diameter than diameter for which saw was
designed. For greatest safety and efficiency when ripping,
use maximum diameter blade for which saw is designed,
since under these conditions spreader is nearest the
blade.
• Adjust table inserts flush with table top. Never operate saw
unless proper insert is installed.
• Never feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of
the saw. An accident and serious injury could result.
THINK SAFETY
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alert-
ness at all times when the saw is being used.
Never use another person as a substitute for a table exten-
sion, or as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or
wider than basic saw table, or to assist in feeding, supporting
or pulling the workpiece.
Do not pull the workpiece through the saw blade--position
your body at the infeed side of the guard; start and complete
the cut from that same side. This will require added table
support for long or wide workpieces that extend beyond
the length or width of the saw table.
CAUTION: Follow safety instructions that appear on the
front of your saw.
