G5959Z 12" Left-Tilting Table Saw -3- 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD . Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. Conductor size should be in accor- dance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate.
-4- G5959Z 12" Left-Tilting Table Saw Additional Safety Instructions For Table Saws 1. ALWAYS use blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback fingers on all ''through-saw- ing'' operations. Through-sawing opera- tions are those when the blade cuts com- pletely through the workpiece as in ripping or crosscutting.
G5959Z 12" Left-Tilting Table Saw -5- Push Sticks The use of push sticks (shown in Figure 1 ), par- ticularly when cutting small or narrow workpieces, provides a double benefit for saw operators. The push stick provides added leverage, enabling the operator to keep the workpiece firmly supported against the fence and table.
-6- G5959Z 12" Left-Tilting Table Saw Push Paddles Push paddles provide added leverage and sup- port when ripping or crosscutting wide work- pieces. See Figure 3. We offer a number of push paddles in the Grizzly catalog. Featherboard Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards provide an added degree of protection against kickback.
