Major Hazards

Three major hazards are associated with

using the radial arm saw for ripping. They

are outfeed 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.

Outfeed Zone Hazard

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.

Read and follow the information and

instructions under ripping safety.

Safety

Kickback Hazard

Kickback is the uncontrolled propelling of the

workpiece back toward the user during rip-

ping.

The cause of kickback is the binding or

pinching of the blade in the workpiece. Sev-

eral conditions can cause the blade to bind

or pinch.

When a workpiece kicks back, it could hit

hard enough to cause internal organ injury,

broken bones, or death.

Read and follow the information and

instructions under ripping safety.

Wrong Way Feed Hazard

Wrong way feed is ripping by feeding the

workpiece into the outfeed side of the blade.

The rotational force of the blade can grab

and pull the workpiece.

Before you can let go or pull back, the force

could pull your hand along with the work-

piece into the blade. Fingers or hand could

be cut off.

The propelled workpiece could hit a

bystander, causing severe impact injury or

death.

Read and follow the information and

instructions under ripping safety.

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 blade. 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

the guard will not 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. It keeps the workpiece kerf open,

thereby reducing blade pinching and the risk

of kickback. It 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.

Safety

6. Set of pawls to be lowered to the work-

piece surface for ripping. They allow the

workpiece to pass freely from infeed to out-

feed side, but help stop the kickback motion

from outfeed to infeed side by grabbing into

the workpiece surface. Pawls must be reset

each time a different thickness workpiece is

cut.

7. A guard tab to manually raise the plastic

guard at the start of ripping unusual work-

pieces whose size/shape do not cause the

guard to raise automatically.

Safety

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.

CAUTION

Clear plastic portion of guard can get

caught or jam in fence or table kerfs.

Read and follow the warning on the

guard:

WARNING:

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.

• In bevel position blade teeth are fully

exposed. Fingers or hand can be cut

off.

• Cut-off pieces can jam between

guard and blade. Turn saw off and wait

for blade to stop before freeing

jammed guard or blade.

• Workpiece or cut-off pieces can be

violently thrown by blade. Wear safety

goggles. Stand out of workpiece path.

Safety Instructions

Read and follow all safety instructions.

Personal Safety Instructions

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-

dards set by the American National

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.

3. Wear dust mask to keep from inhaling

fine particles.

4. Wear ear protectors, plugs or muffs if you

use saw daily.

5. Keep good footing and balance; do not

over-reach.

Work Area Safety Instructions

1. Keep children, pets, and visitors out of

work area; they could be hit by a thrown

workpiece, workpiece chips or pieces of

blade.

2. Turn saw off, remove yellow key, and

unplug before leaving work area. Do not

leave until blade has stopped spinning.

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

low key to prevent accidental start-up; store

key out of sight and reach; lock work area.

4. Keep floors clean and free of 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.

Saw Safety Instructions

1. Use guard, pawls and riving knife accord-

ing to instructions. Keep them in working

order.

2. Routinely check saw for broken or dam-

aged parts. Repair or replace damaged

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.

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

Workpiece Safety Instructions

1. Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic 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 control of workpiece.

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 blade 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.

Safety

3. Rip only workpieces longer than the

diameter of the blade. Do not rip workpieces

that 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.
