LOCATION
The saw should be positioned so neither the operator nor a
casual observer is forced to stand in line with the saw blade.
KICKBACKS
A kickback occurs during a rip-type operation when a part
or all of workpiece is thrown back violently toward operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the saw blade, out
of line with a possible kickback.
Kickbacks and possible injury from them can usually be
avoided by:
•
Maintaining rip fence parallel to saw blade.
•
Keeping saw blade sharp. Replace or sharpen antikick-
back pawls when points become dull.
•
Keeping saw blade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawls in place and operating properly. The spreader must
be in alignment with the saw blade and the pawls must
stop a kickback once it has started. Check their action
before ripping.
•
Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
•
Not releasing work until you have pushed it all the way
past the saw blade.
•
Using a push stick for ripping widths less than 6 inches.
•
Not confining the cutoff piece when ripping or crosscutting.
PROTECTION:
EYES,
HANDS,
FACE, BODY, EARS
•
If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning,
or has
been damaged or broken (such as the motor switch, elec-
tronic controls, other operating control, a safety device or
power cord), cease operating immediately until the partic-
ular part is properly repaired or replaced.
•
Wear safety goggles that comply with United States ANSI
Z87.1 and a face shield or dust mask if operation is dusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.
•
Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact
the rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back at the
operator at excessive speed. This can usually be avoided
by keeping the guard and spreader in place for all thru-
sawing operations (sawing entirely thru work) and by
removing all loose pieces from the table with a long
stick of wood immediately after they are cut off.
•
Use extra caution when the guard assembly is removed for
resawing, dadoing, or rabbetingireplace
guard as soon
as that operation is completed.
•
Never turn the saw ON before clearing the table of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related
feed or support devices for the operation planned.
•
Never place your face or body in line with the cutting tool.
•
Never place your fingers or hands in path of saw blade
or other cutting tool.
•
For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a workpiece
to which a push stick or push board is applied must be
square (perpendicular
to the fence) in order that feed
pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick
or block does not cause the workpiece to come away
from the fence, and possibly cause a kickback.
•
During rip and rip-type cuts, workpiece must be held down
on table and against fence with a push stick, push block,
or featherboards,
as applicable (see Figures la and lb,
page 4).
Push Stick: A safety device used to push the workpiece
through a cutting operation. Used most often when rip cutting
thin workpieces.
The push stick and push block examples shown are useful for
keeping hands and fingers away from saw blade during ripping,
rabbeting and dadoing. Apply downward pressure and push
workpiece through the cut and past the blades. Several other
configurations may be suitable for safe operation.
Featherboards
are used to keep the work in contact with the rip
fence or table during the cutting operation. Use of featherboards
can help to prevent kickbacks and binding. Featherboards
should be used for all "non thru-sawing" operations.
•
Never reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to
hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps,
or for any other reason. Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers
or hand to move into a saw blade or other cutting tool.
•
Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
•
Do not perform any operation freehandialways
use either
rip fence or miter gauge to position and guide the work.
•
Never use the rip fence when cross-cutting or the miter gauge
when ripping. Do not use rip fence as a length stop. Never
hold onto or touch free-end of workpiece or a free-piece that
is cut off, while power is ON and/or saw blade is rotating.
•
Shut the saw OFF and disconnect power source when
removing the table insert, changing the cutting tool,
removing or replacing the blade guard, or making
adjustments.
•
To prevent unauthorized
use, lock the start switch using
provided padlock.
•
Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the
saw table for wide or long workpieces.
