Model 72 - 12"/14" Tilting Arbor Saw OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY RULES, cont'd
8. Stand to one side of saw blade and do not allow any other person to stand in line with the
saw blade.
9. Use the splitter, blade guard, push stick and other safety devices for all operations where they
can be used. On operations such as dadoing or molding where such devices cannot be used, use
feather boards, fixtures or other safety devices and use extreme caution. Reinstall the splitter
and blade guard immediately after completing the operations that required their removal.
10. Do not reach over the saw blade to remove stock; use a pusher stick or have a helper or "tail
man" take it away.
11. If leaving the machine area, turn off the machine and wait until the saw blade comes to a com-
plete stop before departing.
12. Give the work you're doing, and the saw or cutter your undivided attention. Looking around,
carrying on a conversation and "horse play" are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
13. Never climb on or near the saw. Keep an evenly balanced stance with your weight on both feet.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to con-
tact the blade.
14. Do not leave long or wide boards unsupported where spring or weight could cause the board to
shift position.
15. Do not remove the insert or make any adjustment with the saw blade rotating and disconnect the
machine from its power source when changing blades or cutters or performing any maintenance.
16. Bolt the saw to the floor through the lag holes provided to avoid any tendency of the saw to tip or
shift during cutting operations.
