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 safe-

ty sections for more detailed explanations of

these and other hazards.

Ouffeed Zone Hazard

Safety Symbol and Signal Words

An exclamation mark inside a triangle is the

safety alert symbol.

It is used to draw attention to safety informa-

tion in the manual and on the saw. It is

followed by a signal word, DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION, which tells the

level of risk:

,_ DANGER: mean_sif the safety infor-

mation is not followed someone will be seri-

ously injured or killed.

AWARNING: means if the safety infor-

marion is not followed someone could be

seriously injured or killed.

CAUTION: means if the safety infor-

marion is not followed someone might be

injured.

Read and follow all safety information

and instructions.

_DANGER

If you reach around the blade to the outfeed

side when ripping, and try to hold down or

pull the woricpiece 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

ripping.

The cause of kickback is the binding or

pinching of the blade in the workpiece.

Several 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.

WARNING

KICKBACK II1_

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 by-

stander, causing severe impact injury or

death.

Read and follow the information and

instructions under ripping safety.

,WARNING

Wrong Way Feed

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 cuL

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,

(Plastic Lower Guard) which partially cov-

ers the lower half of the blade. It protects

against contact with the side of the blade

during crosscutting when blade is in its rear-

most 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 ouffeed side of the

blade during ripping, and acts as a barrier to

prevem wrong way feed.

3. A squeeze trigger in the saw handle to

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 pawls/riving knife knob. When lowered

for crosscutting, it acts as a barrier to the

leading edge of the blade.

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 re-set

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.

Hazards Associated with Clear

Portion of Guard

The following safety information applies to

all blades and accessories.

,_ WARNING

Clear plastic portion of guard will

not provide any protection during

crosscutting 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 work-

piece path.

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

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.

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, the free blade. Do not

try to free blade with saw on.

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.

Workplece Safety Instructions

1. Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic mate-

rials. Do not cut metal.

2. Cut only one work_iece at a time.

Stacking or placing workpieces edge to edge

can cause user to lose control of workpiece.

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 support

workpieces or to aid by pushing or pulling

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 cutting

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 Sears Service

Center.
