Bosch GTS1031 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

Additional Safety Rules
a. NEVER use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off
wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades) wire
wheels or buffing wheels.
b. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
c. Crosscutting operations are more conveniently
worked and with greater safety if an auxiliary wood
facing is attached to the miter gauge. (See Page 26).
do Make sure the top of the 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.
• Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked
for an operating speed less than 5000 R.RM. 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 diam-
eter blade for which the saw is designed, since under
these conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.
e. Make sure the table insert is flush or slightly below
the table surface on all sides except for rear side.
NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert is
installed.
12. THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR
COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL
TIMES WHEN THE TABLE SAW IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of
your table saw) to become com-
monplace. Always remember that
a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
The operation of
any power tool
can result in for-
eign objects being
thrown into the
eyes, which can
result in severe
eye damage. Al-
ways wear safety
goggles that com-
ply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before
commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction 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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
NOTE AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THAT APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF YOUR
TABLE SAW.
