MAKING CUTS
• Never touch the free end of the workpiece or a free
piece that is cut off, 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 with the blade
turning. If you need to pull the workpiece back
or lift it off the table, turn the switch off, 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 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 blade.
• Before leaving the saw unattended, lock out power
switch, or take other appropriate measures to
prevent unauthorized use of the saw.
Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury.
