Specific Safety Instructions For Table Saws - Craftsman 22124 - Professional 10 in. Table Saw Owner's Manual

It is also necessary to replace the 120 volt plug, sup-
plied with the motor, with a UL/CSA Listed plug suitable
for 240 volts and rated current of the saw. Contact a
local qualified electrician for proper procedures to install
the plug. The table saw must comply with all local and
national electrical codes after the 240 volt plug is
installed.
The table saw with a 240 volt plug should only be con-
nected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug shown in Figure "1C". No adapter is available
or should be used with the 240 volt plug.
MAKE CERTAIN that masks or respirators are
MSHA/NIOSH approved.
The operation of any Table Saw can result in debris
being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that com-
ply with ANSi standard Z87.1) when operating the Table
Saw. Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail
Stores. Keep your thumbs and fingers away from the
blade while it is spinning.

SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING,
SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING AND OTHER CON=
STRUCTION ACTiViTIES contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
