Safety and Certification
Hazards
Saw blades are very sharp and strong. They are capable of grabbing, maiming, cutting, or/and dismembering body parts.
Saw blade spins at 4800 RPM and is capable of throwing unsecured work pieces and debris at operator and beyond
Saw is rated at 230V/13A and may cause electrocution if improperly grounded
Sawing produces fine dust that affects respiratory health
Large work pieces may fall off the saw and injure if improperly handled or secured
Prohibited Operations
Modifying/hacking the saw and its original accessories
Bypassing of saw safety features
Cutting green wood, metals or lumber containing screws/nails
Cutting very short/small lumber - use a bandsaw or hand tools instead
Cutting lumber that exceeds saw capacity - use a track saw instead
Pre-Operational Safety
Check self for loose clothing, hair and jewelry. Remove gloves.
Clear the saw top of extraneous objects and remove any excess dust or debris from operational parts
Ensure that dust collection is properly connected, functioning and isn’t clogged by debris. Make sure that correct blast gates are open/closed to divert the air path to the saw.
Make sure that saw parts are functioning as intended and that nothing is loose or damaged
Set up any jigs, fences and safety equipment before turning the saw on
When moving the saw from the home position, set the safety switch to the OFF position and disconnect the twist-lock connector from the wall outlet. Move the saw using the lifting bar only. Reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet using the twist-lock extension cord.
Operational Safety
Take note of the emergency switch on the left side of the saw (under the sliding table). Push button to activate the switch. Pull and twist the button to reset.
Turn on the dust collection before turning the saw on. Let the dust collection work for at least 10 seconds after turning the saw off.
Position your body so that it’s not in line with the blade to avoid injuries related to kickback or other occurrences
Secure workpieces against fences, stops or clamps - do not make free-hand cuts
Use push stick as needed to support smaller material and to clear debris. Do not reach in toward the blade with your bare hands.
Saw blade height should be set just slightly higher than workpiece height for through cuts, making sure it clears the knob on the blade guard. For groove/dado cuts, the stack should be no higher than half the material height.
Do not reach over blade until it has stopped moving
Do not leave saw until blade has come to a complete stop
Do not adjust the blade or fences while the blade is spinning
