use feather boards, fixtures and other safety devices and use extreme caution. Reinstall the splitter and blade
guard immediately after completing the operation that required their removal.
Saw blade rotation. Be sure the saw blade rotates clockwise when viewed from the motor side (left side) of
the machine.
Adjustments. Make all adjustments to the machine and operational setup with the power off. Never remove
the insert with the blade running.
Material condition. Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots or with nails or other foreign material, on
its surface. Do not attempt to saw twisted, warped, bowed or “in wind” stock unless one edge has been
jointed for guiding purposes prior to sawing.
Large stock. Do not attempt to saw long or wide boards unsupported where spring or weight could cause the
board to shift position.
Job completion. If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, he should turn “off” the power to the
table saw motor and wait until the saw blade comes to a complete stop before his departure. In addition, if the
operation is complete, he should clean the table saw and the work area. NEVER clean off the table saw with
power “on” and NEVER use the hands to clear sawdust and debris; use a brush.
Replacement parts. Use only Powermatic or factory authorized replacement parts and accessories; other-
wise the table saw warranty and guarantee is null and void.
Misuse. Do not use this Powermatic table saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,
Powermatic disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which
may result from that use. Do not equip this table saw with a motor larger than five (5) horsepower at 3600
RPM. Doing so voids the warranty and Powermatic holds itself harmless from any injury which may result.
If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of Table Saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instruc-
tor or other qualified person.
Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Use proper extension cord: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
