adjustments
O Provide adequatesupport to the rear and
sides of the saw table for wider or tong
workpieces
P. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)
materialsmaybe cut on your saw However,
since these are usually quite hard and
slippery,the antikickback pawls maynot stop
a kickback,
Therefore, b eespecially attentiveto following
proper set-up and cutting proceduresfor

T Nevergangcrosscutor rip
-- lining up more
than one workpiece in front of the blade
(stacked vertically, or horizontally outward on
the table) and then pushing through
sawblade The blade could pick up one or
more pieces and cause a binding or loss of
control and possible injury
9. KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
A° Dull, gummy, or improlSerly sharpened or set
cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam,
stall the saw, or kickback at the operator
Minimize potential injury by proper cutting
tool and machine maintenance
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED
SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING
THE SAW OFF.
B- Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or buffing wheels
10o USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR
THIS SAW,
11_ 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, arbor collars 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
12_ Do not use any blade or other culling tool
marked for an operating speed less than 3450
RPM. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter
than the diameter for which the saw was
designed. For greatest safety and efficiency
when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade
for which the saw is designed, since under these
conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
13. NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert
is installed
14, NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from
the rear of the saw An accident and serious
injury could result
t5, NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
saw table, orto assist in feeding or supporting or
pulling the workpiece,
DO NOT pull the workpiece through the
sawblade -- position your body at the nose (in-
feed) side of the guard: start and complete the
cut from the same side This will require added
table support for tong or wide workpieces that
extend beyond the length or width of the saw
table
16. THINK SAFETY.
Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at att times when the saw is
being used

17_ NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF
YOUR SAW.
