Use and Care Manual

MAKING CUTS

Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury.

• Never touch the free end of the workpiece or a free piece

that is cut o, while the power is on and/or the saw blade

is rotating. Blade contact or binding may occur, resulting in

a thrown workpiece.

• When sawing a long workpiece or a panel, use a work

support, such as a sawhorse, rollers or outfeed table at the

same height as the table surface of the saw.

• Never try to pull the workpiece back or lift it o the table,

turn the switch o, allow the blade to stop, raise the anti-

kickback teeth on each side of the riving knife if necessary,

and slide the workpiece out.

• Before connecting the table saw to the power source

or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard

assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and

clearance with the saw blade. Check alignment after each

change of beveling angle.

• A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations

to prevent loss of control and personal injury. Always lock

the fence to the rail. NEVER perform a ripping operation

freehand.

• When making bevel cuts, place the fence on the right side

of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence

and hands. Keep hands clear of the blade and use a push

stick to feed the workpiece unless the workpiece is large

enough to allow you to hold it more than 6 inches (152

mm) from the table.

• Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power

switch, or take other appropriate measures to prevent

unauthorized use of the saw.
