instructions

lor

instructions
before
usingf

powershop.
Kickbacks
can occur
when
the workpiece
binds
between
the
saw
blade
and the
lence
during
a ripping
type
operation.
Such
action
could
cause
the workpiece
to
be ejected
from
the machine
and
thrown
violently
back towards
the
operator.
Never
stand,
or
permit
someone
else to
stand in line
with
the
work
being ripped
due to
possible
kickbacks.
The
anti-kickback
fingers
must
be kept
sharp,
free moving
and
correctly
adjusted
to insure
proper
operation.
Use
extra
care when
ripping
material
that is
twisted
or
bowed
which
can rock
on
the
saw table
and
cause
pinching
or
binding.
Place
the
wood
on
the table
in
such
a
manner
as-to
minimizi
rocking.
A
pusher
board
should
be
used when
ripping
narrow
work
(i.e.
less
than
3 inches
or
so
between
tne
UUOe
anO tence).
ihe
pusher
board
should
be made
from
clear,
straight
grained
lumber
as shown
below.
It is
easier
to change
the
saw
set-up
and
will
prevent
lower guard
catching
if
work
table is
higher
than
rear
tablie.
l/4,
plywool
and
brads
may
be used.
