Safety
This manual has safety information and
ins_ctions to help users eliminate or reduce
the risk of accidents and injuries, including:
1. Severe cuts, and loss of fingers or other
body parts due to contact with the blade.
2. Eye impact injuries, and blindness, from
being hit by a thrown workpiece, workpiece
chips or pieces of blade,
3. Bodily impact injuries, broken bones, and
internal organ damage from being hit by a
thrown workpiece
4. Shock or electrocution
5. Bums.
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 of your saw manual for more
detailed explanations of these and other haz-
ards.
Outfeed Zone Hazard
,i_t,DANGER
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: means if the safety infor-
mation is not followed someone will be seri-
ously injured or killed.
WARNING: means if the safety infor-
mation is not followed someone could be
seriously injured or killed.
,,Ik
,_ CAUTION: means if the safety infor-
mation is not followed someone might be
injured.
Read and follow all safety information
and instructions.
If you reach around the blade to the outfeed
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.

Safety
Kickback Hazard
Kickback is the uncontrolled p_opelling 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.
kWARNING
KICKBACKII
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_
kWARNING
Wrong Way Feed

Alignment
Align Riving Knife to Blade
The goa! of this adjustment is to position the
riving knife directly in line with the blade.
Riving knife alignment is an important safe-
ty factor, The riving knife rides in the kerf of
the cut work_iece during ripping to keep the
two sides of the workpiece from pinching on
the blade. Blade pinching is a cause of kick-
back,
1. Lock yoke in in-rip position (blade
towards column, motor towards front of
arm).
2. Lower arm until blade just clears table,
3. Unlock rip lock while holding up lower
plastic guard, move yoke back until blade
touches fence. Lock rip lock.
4. Loosen pawls/riving knife knob. Lower
riving knife to the table and tighten knob.
The riving "knife should rest fiat against
fence,
5. If adjustment is needed:
1o)loosen riving knife bracket screw.
Z) slide riving knife so it rests against
fence.
3.) secure riving knife bracket screw,
6, Raise riving knife and tighten pawls/riv-
