Safety Instructions on Sawing Systems
B C D
8. Bring adjustable saw guides and guards as
close as possible to the workpiece.
9. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating, servicing, or adjusting machinery.
Eyewear shall be impact resistant, protective
safety glasses with side shields complying with
ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear
which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications could result in severe injury
from breakage of eye protection.
See Figure B
10. Nonslip footwear and safety shoes are recom-
mended. See Figure C.
11. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation. See Figure D.
12. The workpiece, or part being sawed, must be
securely clamped before the saw blade enters
the workpiece.
13. Remove cut off pieces carefully, keeping
hands away from saw blade.
14. Saw must be stopped and electrical supply cut
off or machine unplugged before reaching into
cutting area.
15. Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding
your eyes.

General Electrical Cautions
This saw should be grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances. This work should be done by a
qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded
to protect the user from electrical shock.
Wire Sizes
1. Always wear leather gloves when handling saw
blade. The operator shall not wear gloves when
operating the machine.
2. All doors shall be closed, all panels replaced,
andother safety guards in place prior to the
machine being started or operated.
3. Be sure that the blade is not in contact with the
workpiece when the motor is started. The
motor
shall be started and you should
allow the saw to come up to full speed
before bringing the saw blade into contact
with the workpiece.
4. Keep hands away from the blade area. See
Figure A.
5. Remove any cut off piece carefully while
keeping your hands free of the blade area.
6. Saw must be stopped and electrical supply
must be cut off before any blade replacement
or adjustment of blade support mechanism is
done, or before any attempt is made to change
the drive belts or before any periodic service or
maintenance is performed on the saw.
7. Remove loose items and unnecessary
workpieces from area before starting machine.
19. Know the tool you are using — its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
Caution: For circuits which are far away from the
electrical service box, the wire size must be in-
creased in order to deliver ample voltage to the
motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent
motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes
for branch circuits or electrical extension cords
according to the following table is recommended.
