PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP /

ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE

THIS MODEL 50-275R 10" 3 HP CABINET SAW IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS
SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE.
TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE
SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF 371 LBS (168 KG).
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and
operated only on a solid, flat and sta-
ble floor that is able to support the
weight of the saw (371 Lbs - 168 kg) and
the operator.
Using the dimensions shown as a guide-
line, plan for placement within your
shop that will allow the operator to work
unencumbered and unobstructed by
foot traffic (either passing shop visitors
or other shop workers) or other tools or
ma-chinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multi-
ple operators, it is advisable to establish a safety zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined "no-go" zone
on the floor around each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or
the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define
on the floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and
shop visitors are aware that these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for everyone but the indi-
vidual operating the unit.

CLEAN UP

The protective coating on the saw table prevents
rust from forming during shipping and storage.
Remove it by rubbing with a rag dipped in
kerosene, mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose
of potentially flammable solvent-soaked rags
according to manufacturer's safety recommen-
dations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the sur-
face, may also be used to scrape off the coating
followed by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing
the saw's painted surfaces, as many solvent-
based products will remove paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax
or use regular applications of any after-market
surface protectant or rust inhibitor.

Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-
slots to remove the grease.
