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
hazards. Read the ripping and crosscut-
ting safety sections for more detailed ex-
planations of these and other hazards.
Outfeed Zone Hazard
_DANGER
If you reach around the blade to the out-
feed 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 in-
structions 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 in-
juu, broken bones, or death.
Read and follow the information and in-
structions under ripping safety.
WARNING
KICKBACKItI_
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
workpiece 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 in-
structions under ripping safety.
kWARNING
Wrong Way Feed

Safety Instructions
Read and follow all safety instructions.
Personal Safety Instructions
1. Wear safety goggles labeled "ANSI
Z87.1" on the package. It means the gog-
gles meet impact standards 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, jewel-
ry, loose clothing, 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
yellow 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 un-
cluttered.
6. Use saw only in dry area. Do not use in
wet or damp areas.

Saw Safety Instructions
1. Use guard, pawls and spreader accord-
ing to instructions. Keep them in working
order.
2. Routinely check saw for broken or
damaged parts. Repair or replace
damaged parts before using saw. Check
new or repaired parts for alignment, bind-
ing, and correct installation.
3. Unplug saw before doing maintenance,
making adjustments, correcting align-
ment, or changing blades.
4. Do not force saw. Use saw, blades and
accessories only as intended.
5. tlave 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
necessary 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 prob-
lena 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.
Workpiece Safety Instructions
1. Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic
materials. Do not cut metal.
2. Cut only one workpiece 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. 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 outrig-
ger.
6. Do not use another person to help sup-
port workpieces or to aid by pushing or
pulling on workpieces, because these ac-
tions can cause kickback. Use table exten-
sions.
7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece.
It's safer than using your hands.
Blade Safety Instructions
I. 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 se-
quence 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.
