Major Hazards

Three major hazards are associated with

using the radial arm saw for ripping. They

are ouffeed zone hazard, kickback and

wrong way feed,

This section only briefly explains these haz-

ards. Read the ripping and crosscutting

safety sections for more detailed explana-

tions of these and other hazards.

and instructions.

if you reach around the blade to the outfeed

side when ripping, and try to hold down or

pull the workpiece through to complete a cut,

the rotational force of the blade will pull your

hand back into the blade.

Fingers will be cut off.

instructions under ripping safety.

Guard Function and Features

The guard is a very important safety feature,

designed to reduce the risk of injury associ-

ated with blade contact. Install the guard

correctly. Follow the specific instructions

in the ripping and crosscutting sections

to set and use the guard correctly for

each type of cut,

Guard Features include:

1. A non-moveable metal upper portion,

(Upper Guard) which is fastened to the

motor by the guard clamp screw, and which

fully covers the upper half of the blade.

2. A moveable clear plastic portion, (Plas-

tic Lower Guard) which partially covers the

lower half of the btade. It protects against

contact with the side of the blade during

crosscutting when blade is in its rearmost

position and the guard is resting on the

table, so the leading and trailing teeth of the

blade are not exposed. It also protects

against contact with the outfeed side of the

blade during ripping, and acts as a barrier to

prevent wrong way feed.

3. A squeeze trigger in the saw handle to

fully raise the clear plastic guard at the start

of a crosscut. Note: This is necessary because

theguard willnot automatically raise to clear the

fence.

4. A hold down to be lowered to just clear

the top of the workpiece for ripping. It acts as

a barrier to the infeed side of the blade,

keeps the workpiece from fluttering, and acts

as a sawdust deflector. It is locked/unlocked

by the hold down knob.

5. A riving knife to be lowered to the table

for ripping, tt keeps the workpiece kerf open,

thereby reducing blade pinching and the risk

of kickback, tt also acts as a barrier to the

hazardous outfeed side and prevents wrong

way feed. it is locked/unlocked by the riving

knife/pawls knob. When lowered for cross-

cutting, it acts as a barrier to the leading

edge of the blade.

Hazards Associated with Clear Por-

tion of Guard

The following safety information applies to all

blades and accessories.

_WARNING

Clear plastic portion of guard will not

provide any protection during cross-

cutting if blade is pulled over your

hand, or:your hand enters blade path

from front or rear of blade. Fingers or

hand can be cut or cut off. _-I_

A CAUT!ON

Clear plastic portion of guard can get

caught or jam in fence or table kerfs.

Read and follow the warning on the

guard:

TO AVOID INJURY

SHUT OFF POWER

BEFORE CLEARING A

JAMMED LOWER GUARD

" ............ " _ WARNING

Clear plastic guard will increase risk of certain hazards:

• During rip and bevel cuts, narrow cut

off pieces can be pinched between

guard and blade. Cut, off pieces :can

kickback.

•Cut-off pieces can jam between

guard and blade. Turn saw off and wait

for blade to stop before freeing

jammed guard or blade.

° in bevel position blade teeth are fully

exposed. Fingers or hand can be cut

off.

•Workpiece or cut-off pieces can be

violently thrown by blade. Wear safety

goggles. Stand out:of workpiece path.

Safety Bnstructions

Read and follow all safety instructions.

Personal Safety nnstructions

1. Wear safety goggles labeled ANSI Z87.1

(or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) on the pack-

age. It means the goggles meet impact stan-

Standards Institute. Regular eyeglasses are

not safety goggles.

2. Wear close fitting clothes, short sleeved

shirts, and non-slip shoes. Tie up long hair.

Do not wear gloves, ties, jewelry, loose cloth-

ing, or long sleeves. These can get caught in

the spinning blade and pull body parts into

the blade.

fine particles.

4. Wear ear protectors, plugs or muffs if you

use saw daily.

5. Keep good footing and balance; do not

ove r-reac h.

Work Area Safety Instructions

1. Keep children, pets, and visitors out of

work area; they could be hit by a thrown

workpiece, workpiece chips orpieces of

blade.

2. Turn saw off, remove yellow key, and

unplug before leav'ing work area. Do not

leave until blade has stopped spinning.

3. Make work area child-proof: remove yet-

low key to prevent accidental start-up; store

key out of sight and reach; lock work area.

4. Keep floors clean and freeof sawdust,

wax and other slippery materials.

5. Keep work area well lighted and unclut-

tered.

6. Use saw only in dry area_ Do not use in

wet or damp areas.

parts before using saw. Check new or

repaired parts for alignment, binding, and

correct installation.

3. Unplug saw before doing maintenance,

making adjustments, correcting alignment,

• or:changing blades.

4. Do not force saw. Use saw, blades and

accessories only as intended.

5. Have yellow key out and saw switched

off before plugging in power cord.

Workpiece Safety instructions

1. Cut only wood, woodlike or piastic materials.

Do not cut metal.

|. .

2. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stack-

ing or placing workpieces edge to edge can

cause user to lose contro_ of workpiece.

6. Before turning on saw, clear table of all

objects except workpiece to be cut and nec-

essary fixtures, clamps, or feather-boards.

7. If blade jams, turn saw off immediately,

remove yellow key, then free blade. Do not

try to free blade with saw on.

8. Turn saw off if it vibrates too much or

makes an odd sound. Correct any problem

before restarting saw.

9. Do not layout, assemble, or setup work

with saw on, or while blade is spinning.

10. Keep saw table clean.

11. Store items away from saw. Do not climb

on saw or stand on saw table to reach items

because saw can tip over.

•

Safety

3. Rip only workpieces longer than the

diameter of the blade. Do not rip workpieces

tha_ are shorter than the diameter of the

blade being used.

4. Workpieces that extend beyond the saw

table can shift, twist, rise up from the table,

or fall as they are cut or afterwards. Support

workpiece with table extensions the same

height as the saw table.

5. To prevent tipping, support outer ends of

extensions with sturdy legs or an outrigger.

6. Do not use another person to help sup-

port workpieces or to aid by pushing or pull-

ing on workpieces, because these actions

can cause kickback. Use table extensions.

7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece. It's

safer than using your hands.

Blade Safety Instructions

1, Use only blades marked for at least 3450

rpm.

2. Use only 10" or smaller diameter blades.

3. Use blades for their recommended cut-

ting procedures. ....

4. Keep blade sharp and clean-

5. Do not overtighten blsde nut because

blade collar could warp.

6. Do not turn saw on and off in rapid

sequence because blade can loosen.

7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds after

saw is switched off. if blade takes longer, the

saw needs repair. Contact Authorized Ser-

vice Center.
