Additional Safety Instructions for Rip Saws
6. STALLED BLADE. Turn the saw off and
disconnect from the power source before
attempting to "free" a stalled saw blade.
7. COM FOR TA BL E CUTTING
OPERATIONS. Avoid awkward operations
and hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the
conveyor track.
8. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at
any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Contact our Service
Department at (570) 546-9663.
9. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use
blades that have been dropped or dam-
aged; otherwise, serious personal injury
could occur.
1. BLADE GUARD. Always use the blade
guard on all cutting operations.
2. KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback.
Kickback happens when the workpiece is
thrown towards the operator at a high rate
of speed. Until you have a clear under-
standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO
NOT operate this saw!
3. WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the
workpiece is placed in a stable position on
the table and is supported by the rip fence
during cutting operations.
4. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use safety
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protec-
tion to make cutting operations safe.
5. OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or
have any part of your body directly in-line
with the cutting path of the saw blade.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associ-
ated with the Model G0524. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
