Oil And Grease - Craftsman 315.228410 Owner's Manual

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION iContinued)
• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can
occur when the blade stalls, driving the work piece
back toward the operator. It can pull your hand into
the blade, resulting in serious personal injury. Stay
out of the blade path and turn switch off immedi-
ately if blade binds or stalls.
• USE A SUPPORT FOR THE SIDES AND BACK
OF THE SAW TABLE when sawing wide or long
workpieces. Use a sturdy "outrigger"support if a
table extension is more than 24 inches long and is
attached to the saw, to prevent tipping.
• CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR WOOD-LIKE
MATERIALS. Do not cut metal.
• NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO
NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the saw
table at a time.
i
• DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE
GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard
or cover removed. Make sure all guards are
operating properly before each use.
• NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE-
HAND. Always place the workpiece to be cut on
the saw table and position it firmly against the
fence as a backstop.
• USE THE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or
straight edge guide when ripping.
• BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure all adjustments
are secure.
• BE SURE THE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF
NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from
lumber before cutting.
• BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE
WORKPIECE. Never start the saw with the blade
touching the workpiece.
• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting
path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
Always turn the power off.
• USE A PUSHBLOCK OR PUSH STICK for
workpieces so small that your fingers go under the
blade guard. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other
moving parts during use, for any reason.
_i, WARNING: Blade coasts after being turned off.
• ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL
SPEED before starting a cut to avoid blade bind-
ing or stalling.
• ALWAYS PUSH THE WORKPIECE; never pull it
toward the saw.
• DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY.
Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting
it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to
power supply. NEVER leave the table saw unat-
tended while connected to a power source.
• BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING
COVERS, GUARDS, OR BLADE; unplug the saw
and remove the switch key.
• KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean
tool.
• KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH
SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling
and kickback.
USE ONLY OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS.
Use only extension cords with the marking =Ac-
ceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store
cords indoors while not in use." Use extension
cords with an electrical rating not less than the
saw's rating. Always disconnect the extension cord
from the outlet before disconnecting the product
from the extension cord.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have
repaired by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store or repair center. Stay constantly aware
of cord location and keep it well away from the
moving blade.
• DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges,
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instruc-
tions also.
