KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
•
Dull, gummy, improperly sharpened or set cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam, stall saw, or kickback
at operator. Minimize potential injury by proper care and machine maintenance.
WARNING: Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning saw OFF.
•
Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades), wire wheels or
buffing wheels.
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 operating 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 alertness at all times when the saw is being used. Never
use another person as a substitute for a table extension, 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.
