Always use the blade guard and riving knife on all ''through-sawing'' opera-
tions.
Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the
operator at a high rate of speed.
Make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable position on the table and is
either supported by the rip fence or the crosscut table during cutting operations.
Always use a push stick when ripping narrow stock.
Never stand or have any part of your body directly in-line with the cutting path
of the saw blade.
Never reach behind or over the blade with either hand while the saw
is running.
When using the crosscut fence, the workpiece should never be contacting the rip fence while the saw
blade is cutting.
Turn the saw
before attempting to "free" a stalled saw blade.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sud-
den slip could cause your hand to move into the spinning saw blade.
If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (360) 734-3482.
DO NOT make cuts with the blade height more than
1
⁄
" above the top of the
4
workpiece, or the operator will be unnecessarily exposed to the blade during the cut.
Never use blades that have been dropped or otherwise damaged.
Only operate the saw if the riving knife is aligned with the main blade.
