MINIMIZE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL Most accidents are caused by setup and operating instructions: FAILURE TO FOLLOW (A) GENERAL Avoid could awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip cause a hand to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool. Never reach n back of or around the cutting tool with either hand to hold down the workpiece, or for any other reason; DO NOT place fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade. Never saw, dado, mo!d, or rabbet unless the p{oper guard is installed and set up as instructed.

Provide proper support for the workpiece, based on its size and the type of operation to be performed. Hold the work firmly against the fence. - Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the workpiece whether crosscutting or ripping. Never hang onto or touch the free end of workpiece when crosscutting, or a free piece that is cut off while power is "ON" and!or the saw blade is rotating. In short, the cut-off piece in any "thru-sawing'" operation must never be confined -- it must be allowed to move laterally. -- Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals when installing or removing the plug to or from a live power source.

This term means feeding the sawblade into the workpiece or feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other cutting tool without using the fence or some other device which prevents rotation or twisting of the workpiece during the operation. Never "RIP" in the crosscut position. Never make a miter cut with the arm in the 90 ° crosscut position. Never lower a revol_ing cutting tool into the table or a workp_eee without first locking the Carriage Lock Knob. Release the knob only after grasping the Yoke Handle.

Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a potential kickback. operate the saw with cutting tools (including sanding accessories) installed on both ends of the saw arbor. (B) RIPPING Ripping is cutting with the grain or the long way of the board it is performed by pushing the workpiece along the fence and thru the sawblade (sawblade parallel to the fence). 1. Never apply the feed force to the section of the workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece. Feed force when between the saw "PUSH work. STICK" ripping must always blade and the fence (see pg. 26) for be applied . . . use a narrow or short 2. Whenever possible, use the in-rip position - this provides minimum obstruction for feeding by hand or push stick as appropriate. 3. Do not release the workpiece before operation is complete - push the workpiece all the way past the rear (outfeed or exit) of the sawblade. 4. Make sure by trial before starting the cut that the antikickback pawls will stop a kickback once it has started. Keep points of pawls SHARP! 5. Use a inches) push stick or narrow when (under ripping 6 inches short wide) Never reposition with power "ON". the (under 12 workpieces. 6. CAUTION: antikickback Guard or 7. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back violently toward the operator. It can occur when the workpiece closes in on the rear (outfeed side) of the sawblade (pinching), binds between the fence and the sawblade (heel), or is grabbed by the 13. When sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow all normal ripping procedures except set sawblade into table top at least 1/8". DO NOT let go of or stop feeding the workpiece between the blade and fence until you have pushed it completely past the antikickback pawls. Otherwise the workpiece could get into the back of the sawblade and be thrown violently from the saw in the direction opposite to the feed direction. This is the same action that would occur if the instructions of the DANGER warning on the guard is aborted. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with the path of a workpiece that may be thrown from the saw in this manner. 14. Position the saw so neither you, observer is forced to stand sawblade. 9. NEVER stacking 10. NEVER cut more workpieces than one vertically. Ploughing (Grooving feed a workpiece at a time piece (butting second piece against trailing edge of piece being cut), even if of the same thickness. Feed each workpiece individually thru the sawblade, and completely beyond the sawblade, before ripping the next workpiece. Use push stick if the rip cut is less than 6" wide. 1 1. DO NOT pull the workpiece thru resawing, gaining, coving, with the grain, are examples of rip-type cuts. The same basic setup procedures including rotation of the guard and adjusting and positioning of the AKB/Spreader device as for in-rip or out-rip cutting, apply. However, since none of these operations involve thru-sawing (sawing through the workpiece), there is no kerf. Therefore the spreader and AKB pawls can only be lowered to a position where the spreader just clears the workpiece. CAUTION: The AKB/$preader device will not stop a kickback in this position, but will act as a holddown and as a guard of the out-feed side of the sawblade. by another the sawblade - position your body' at the nose (in-feed) side of the guard: start and complete the cut from that same side. This will require added table support for long pieces. 12. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw.

Shaping of wood with a dado head or a molding head can be performed "top-side" (cutting tool basically vertical and employing sawblade guard), or "edge" (saw arbor vertical - cutting tool horizontal and employing the Accessory molding head guard). "HEEL" can be avoided by maintaining the sawblade exactly parallel to the fence. Grabbing by the sawblade teeth can be caused by heel or by feeding from the wrong direction (see "DANGER" warning on guard) it can be avoided by maintaining parallelism of sawblade to fence, feeding into the sawblade from the nose of the guard only, by positioning the spreader and antikickback properly, and keeping the workpiece down on the table and against the fence. Position the nose of the guard workpiece, and position/adjust and spreader devices as instructed. a helper, in line 15. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a twisted grain or is twisted or bowed - it may rock on the table and/or pinch the sawblade. sawblade teeth (wrong-way feed) at the out-feed side. "PINCHING" is generally avoided by utilization of the spreader, and a sharp sawblade of the correct type for the workpiece being cut. 8. saws For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a workpiece to which a push stick or push board is applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick or block does not cause the workpiece to come away from the fence, and possibly cause a kickback. 18. During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must be held down on the table and against the fence with a push stick, push block, or featherboards. A featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

The radial arm is set to the desired angle of cut; yoke and bevel settings indexed at 0 ° (and locked) as in square crosscutting. The board being cut is held firmly against the fence (guide) and the carriage pulled forward along the radial arm to perform the desired cut. As in "Operation No. 1", the carriage should be returned to full rear position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete stop before OPERATION removing the boards No. 3 - BEVEL from saw table. CROSSCUT Bevel crosscutting is the process of sawing at 90 ° (square) across the board with the saw blade set at an angle other than 90 ° to the saw table. The radial arm and yoke are indexed at 0 ° and locked, but the bevel is set to the desired angle of cut. The board is held firmly against the fence and the carriage pulled forward along the radial arm to produce the cut. The carriage should be returned to full rearward position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete stop before removing the boards from saw table. OPERATION No. 4 - COMPOUND CROSSCUT Compound crosscutting is the combination of miter and bevel crosscuts.

I/4" OPERATION No. 5 -- OUT-RIPPING AND IN-RIPPING OR LESS WARNING: NEVER RIP FREE-HAND. BEFORE RIPPING, MAKE SURE THE GUARD, AND ANTI KICKBACK AND SPREADER ASSEMBLY ARE Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiece by feeding it into the saw blade when using the fence as a guide and as a positioning device to obtain the desired width of cut. The sawblade is parallel to the fence. SET UP PROPERLY. BLADE IS PARALLEL RIP WORKPIECES BLADE DIAMETER. 26 ALSO, MAKE SURE THE SAW WITH THE FENCE. NEVER SHORTER THAN THE SAW Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge in order to make sliding contact with the fence. Also, the work must make solid contact with the table, so that it will not wobble. Provide a straight edge, even if this means temporarily nailing of an auxiliary straight-edged board to the work. If the workpiece is warped, turn the hollow side down. Always use the saw guard and make sure the spreader is correctly aligned with the saw kerf and antikickback pawls properly adjusted. Wood cut with the grain tends to spring the kerr closed and bind the blade and a kickback could occur.

The"Blade Out-Rip'" scale is on the left hand side of radial arm. locked, but the yoke is turned 90-degrees in a clockwise direction (viewed from above) from the crosscut position. Thus, when standing in front of the saw, the blade would be, rotating counterclockwise. After positioning the guard and antikickback mechanism the workplace is fed from the right-hand side of the saw. The "Blade In-Rip" scale is on the right-hand side of radial arm. OPERATION No. 6 - BEVEL RIPPING Bevel ripping is either in-ripping or out-ripping as described above, except the saw blade is tilted out of perpendicular to the saw table surface. The radial arm is indexed at 0 ° and locked, the bevel is set to the desired bevel angle and the yoke is positioned for in-ripping (saw out-ripping (saw blade at front), requirements and observations applicable operations also apply to bevel ripping. blade at rear) or as required.
