READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and
other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS. Do not operate elec-
tric tools in gaseous or explosive atmospheres.
Motors in these tools normally spark, and may
result in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and
if damaged, have repaired by authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Keep saw dust from
building up to the horizontal cast stop wall in the
under table blade cover. See Maintenance sec-
tion for more information.
Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltage sup-
plied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with volt-
age greater than that specified for the tool can
result in serious injury to the user — as well as
damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN
THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage
less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
For your own safety, do not operate your table
saw until it is completely assembled and in-
stalled according to the instructions.
ENSURE STABILITY OF SAW. Your table saw
MUST BE BOLTED securely to a stand or work-
bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the
table saw to tip over or move during certain op-
erations such as cutting long, heavy boards, use
an auxiliary support.
SELECT A PROPER WORKING LOCATION.
Use the table saw in a well lit area and on a level
surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the
risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the op-
erator nor the casual observer is forced to stand
inline with the blade.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "KICK-
BACK" occurs when a part of the work piece
binds between the saw blade and the rip fence
or other fixed object. A work piece binding in the

General Safety Rules
blade due to misalignment, can also cause kick-
back. During kickback, the work piece can rise
from table and be thrown toward the operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the saw
blade, and out of line with the saw blade.
KICKBACKS AND POSSIBLE INJURY CAN
USUALLY BE AVOIDED BY:
a. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the saw
blade.
b. Keeping the saw blade sharp and ensuring
there are no broken teeth. Replacing or sharp-
ening anti-kickback pawls when points become
dull.
c. Keeping saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-
kickback pawls in place and operating properly.
The riving knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade and the pawls must stop a kickback
once it has started. Check their action before
ripping.
d. NOT ripping a work piece that is twisted or
warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the rip fence.
e. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all
the way past the saw blade.
f. Using a Push Stick for ripping widths of 2" to 6"
and an auxiliary fence and Push Block for rip-
ping widths narrower than 2" (See "Basic Saw
Operation, Using The Rip Fence" section, page
34).
g. NOT confining the cut-off piece when ripping or
cross cutting.
h. When ripping, apply the feed force to the sec-
tion of the work piece between the saw blade
and the rip fence. Use Push Stick or Push
Block when appropriate (See item f. above).
i. Feeding material at a rate that does not tax the
saw motor.
j. Using featherboards whenever possible.
k. Immediately stopping the cutting process when
resistance beyond that of normal cutting is en-
countered.
l. Never cutting without the use of the rip fence or
miter gauge.
