WARNING! Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions
and the warning labels.
TABLE SAW SAFETY
1. Examine the table saw for any damaged or missing
parts. Replace or repair damaged parts before opera-
tion. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fas-
teners are properly tightened.
2. Never hand-hold a workpiece that is too small to be
clamped, as it can be launched away and cause inju-
ry. Use proper support and guides to secure the small
workpiece.
3. Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
Never have any part of the body in line with the path of
the saw. Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across
your legs while cutting.
4. Ensure hands are away from the cutting area and
blade. Keep one hand on the operating handle, and the
other out away from the blade and its path.
5. Feed work into the blade against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade only.
6. If you are interrupted when operating the saw, com-
plete the process and switch the saw off before looking
up.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR YOUR TABLE SAW
7. Power tools must always be held by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation, en-
suring protection if the cutting tool makes contact with
its own cord or hidden wiring. Contact with a 'live' wire
will make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live'
and shock the operator if the insulated gripping surfac-
es are not used.
7. Do not use the table saw unless all guards are in
place. Do not operate with any guard disabled, dam-
aged, or removed. Moving guards must move freely and
close instantly.
8. Turn on the table saw and let it reach full speed, then
slowly slide the saw into the workpiece. This will help
produce safer and cleaner cuts.
9. Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack
workpieces together. Do not attempt to cut material
thicker than specified in this manual.
