SAFETY
Additional Safety for Tenoning Jigs
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during
operation. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike
operators or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and
bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
JIG CONTROL. ALWAYS use two hands to firmly
hold both tenoning jig handles when cutting.
NEVER hold jig with just one hand.
ADJUSTING JIG. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER
before installing or adjusting jig, saw, or
workpiece.
CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Cutting metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc., increases
risk of operator
injury due to kickback or flying particles. Only
cut natural and man-made wood products, lami-
nate-covered wood products, and some plastics.
Never cut materials not intended for your saw.
SELECTING TENON LOCATION.
Select clean tenon
locations that are low in moisture content, and
are free of knots, staples, nails, and embedded
debris.
CHECKING TABLE SAW ACCESSORIES. Make sure
other accessories used on table saw do not
interfere with operation of tenoning jig.
RE-INSTALLING BLADE GUARD. Always immedi-
ately re-install and correctly adjust blade guard
and any other safety features of table saw after
removing tenoning jig.
OWNER’S MANUALS.
Read and understand this
manual and the manual for your table saw
before using tenoning jig.
HAND & BODY POSITIONING
. Keep hands away
from saw blade and out of blade path during
operation, so they cannot accidentally slip into
blade. Only operate at front of machine and
always stand to side of blade path. Never reach
behind or over blade. If kickback occurs while
reaching over blade, hands, fingers, or arms
could be pulled into spinning blade.
KICKBACK.
Kickback occurs when saw blade ejects
workpiece back toward operator. Know how to
reduce risk of kickback, and learn how to pro-
tect yourself if it does occur.
SECURING WORKPIECE.
ALWAYS securely clamp
workpiece in tenoning jig, and make sure all fas-
teners and lock levers are tight before you start
saw. ALWAYS make sure jig will not make con-
tact with saw blade during operation.
REMOV
ING TOOLS. Remove tools and other items
from jig and table saw before turning saw ON to
avoid risk of these items being thrown toward
operator or bystander at high speed.
READ and understand this
entire manual before using
this machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under-
stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
