• ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against the rip fence or miter gauge. NEVER use the rip fence during the same operation as
the miter gauge.
• ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK. A push stick is a device used to push a workpiece through the blade instead of using your
hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must always be narrower than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from
contacting the saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick, so your hand does not come close to the saw
blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts.
• NEVER perform any operation “freehand” which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use
either the rip fence or miter fence to position and guide the work.
• NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
• NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.
• MOVE THE RIP FENCE out of the way when cross cutting.
• DO NOT USE THE MITER GAUGE AND RIP FENCE during the same operation.
• NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power source.
• PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long work pieces.
• AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by:
a) Keeping blade sharp.
b) Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
c) Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard in place and operating.
d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade using a push stick.
e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
• IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service
center to avoid risk.
• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
cutting tool.
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may
cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.
• MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe
operation BEFORE performing any work using the table saw.
• ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan
them these instructions also.
THINK SAFETY
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the saw is being used.
CAUTION: Follow safety instructions that appear on the front of your saw.
