SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualied electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.

Table Saw Safety Warnings
For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Saw
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Use saw-blade guard and spreader
for every operation for which it can be
used, including all through sawing.
3. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
4. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.
5. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.
6. Do not perform any operation freehand.
7. Never reach around or over saw blade.
8. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all
times while sawing. Use a roller stand (not
provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.
9. To properly understand all safety
warnings, be familiar with the following
safety terms and equipment:
a. Featherboard – A block with “ngers″ that hold
the workpiece against the fence while sawing.
b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of
a board to the opposite side, without stopping.
c. Ripcut or Ripping - A cut made parallel
to (along with) the grain of the wood.
d. Crosscut or Crosscutting - A cut
made perpendicular (at a 90° angle)
to the grain of the wood.
e. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other
soft material with a notch cut into one end
and which is used to push short pieces
of material through saws. It provides a
safe distance between the hands and the
cutting tool. Must be narrower than the cut
width to prevent contact with the blade.
f. Freehand – Feeding a workpiece through the
saw without using a fence or guided support
to guide it. NOT A SAFE METHOD.
g. Kerf – The gap made by the
saw in the workpiece.
h. Kickback – A sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound, or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and
out of the saw toward the operator.
i. Spreader – A metal plate that follows the
saw blade to keep the kerf (gap) from closing
on the saw blade. Spreaders, except riving
knives, must be aligned to the blade after
blade adjustment to prevent binding.
j. Riving Knife – A spreader mounted on the
same mechanism as the blade. Generally
more effective than simple spreaders.
10. As noted previously, Kickback is a sudden reaction
to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the
saw toward the operator.
Kickback is usually a result of tool
misuse and can be limited or avoided by
following the precautions below:
