Additional Safety Rules For Table Saws - Stanley STST1825 Instruction Manual

30 • ENGLISH
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
6. Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
STANLEY Service Center or an equally qualified
person in order to avoid damage or injury. If the
power cord is replaced by an equally qualified
person, but not authorized by STANLEY, the
warranty will not be valid.

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.

6. ALWAYS USE GUARDS, SPLITTER, AND ANTI-
KICKBACK 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.
