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

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

you use saw daily.

unplug before leaving work area. Do not
leave until blade has stopped spinning.

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.

ting procedures.
