finish the cut or turn off the equipment before diverting your attention. Too often, injuries occur

because the operator was distracted, even for only a moment.

DON’T FLICK WOOD PIECES with your Finger: When using a saw, there will often be very small pieces of

stock that are cut off during the cutting process. Do not attempt to flick these away from the blade with

your fingers. Use another piece of stock or a push stick, preferably with the blade stopped. Often this is

not necessary, as the next cut will push the piece safely away from the blade. Once it is clear, push it off

of the table. However, never leave loose pieces on your table that could impede your cut.

DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (gained from frequent use of equipment) TO REPLACE SAFETY RULES.

Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

OBTAIN ADVICE from the Shop Monitor or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar

with the operation of any Woodshop machine. Knowledge is safety.

BASIC RULES THAT APPLY TO ALL EQUIPMENT:

• INSPECT WOOD for loose knots or embedded foreign objects (nails, staples, etc.) to prevent

kick-back or damage to the equipment. Remove items or discard board. (IF you damage the

equipment because of nails, staple, rocks etc.., you’ll have to pay for their repair)

• AVOID KICK-BACK by supporting the wood piece adequately at all times and by maintaining

control of the work.

• HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the table or fence. Loss of control of the workpiece can

cause kick-back and result in serious injury.

• PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause

injury.

• NEVER TURN A MACHINE “ON” with the workpiece contacting the cutterhead. Kick-back can

occur.

• NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood,

etc.). Flying debris can cause serious injury.

• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to

move into the cutterhead.

• NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP WORK on the table/work area when the

machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the cutterhead. Severe injury

can result.
