I _4LWARNINGI
Do not feed the workpiece
where
the majority
of the workpiece
is
between
the fence and the bit. This creates a "fence
trap" which is dangerous
for two reasons:
• The front of the bit is exposed
during the cutting
operation
(Fig. A).
• The bit can "Climb-cut,"
where the bit enters the
workpiece
in the same direction
as the feed direction.
This is likely to cause the workpiece
to "climb"
away
from the tabletop
and may lead to loss of control
during operation
(Fig. A).
I _IWARNINGI
Feed the workpiece
only against
the rotation
of the bit. Do not "back
feed"
the work
into the bit. The bit rotates counter-
clockwise
as viewed from the top of the table. "Back
feeding"
the work is dangerous
for two reasons:
• It will cause climb-cutting
where the workpiece
can "climb"
off the tabletop
in the direction
of the bit
rotation,
pulling the workpiece
and possibly
your hands
into the rotating bit (Fig. B).
• It is difficult to keep the workpiece
against the fence
face as the bit rotation will push the workpiece
away
from the fence.
I_ WARNING I
An extension
cord with adequate
size conductors
that is capable
of carrying
the current
for your tool must be used.
This will prevent excessive
voltage drop, loss of power,
or overheating.
Grounded
tools must use 3-wire
extension
cords that have 3-prong
plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
