  • Power Tool Guide 05J50.01
    Power Tool Guide 05J50.01 The Veritas® Power Tool Guide is a collapsible straightedge that can be clamped to any material under 1" thick. The 52" tool guide (05J50.03) can be clamped across sheet material up to 52". The 8' Power Tool Guide (05J50.01), or the 48" tool guide extension (05J50.04) added to the 52" tool guide, can be clamped across sheet material up to 100". The advantage this guide has over other 8' guides is that it may be dismantled quickly and easily for cutting smaller sheet material as well as for easier storage or transport. The guide includes a pair of 1" capacity clamps that can be positioned anywhere along its length. For clamping material thicker than plywood sheets, a pair of 2" capacity clamps (05J50.09) is available separately. An optional 12" traveller (05J50.02) used in conjunction with a user-made base plate ensures that your power tool will effortlessly follow the intended line with greater safety. The utility of the traveller is further enhanced with the optional position stop (05J50.10) that clamps onto either guide rail. Figure 1: Veritas® Power Tool Guide.

  • Circular Saw Safety
    CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY Tool Box Talk Hand-held circular saws are powerful tools that can spin their blades at over 5,000 revolutions per minute. It’s important to choose safety and always use saws properly and with care. Hazards to be aware of include noise, flying debris, electrical, and saw kickback. Saws should be inspected before use and only used by qualified personnel. Safe setup prior to cutting: Safety while cutting: • Always wear ANSI Z87.1+ safety glasses, • Avoid cutting into blind areas goggles, or face shield with eye protection • Avoid twisting the saw to change, cut, or check alignment • Hearing protection is recommended; saws are loud • Saw should not need to be forced during cutting and longtime exposure may lead to hearing loss • Check for obstructions or objects like nails and screws • Wear proper respiratory protection when required • Do not carry the saw with a finger on the trigger switch • Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry • Stand to the side when cutting to keep out of the line that may be pulled into the saw of cut if kickbacks occur, do not overextend — position • While unplugged, check retracting lower your feet so you’re balanced and in full control blade guard to ensure it works freely • Be alert to the possibility of the blade binding • Tighten blade-locking nut to manufacturer specifications and the potential for and kickback • While unplugged, set and lock blade depth so lowest tooth • Always use both hands on the handles for does not extend more than 0.3 cm (⅛") beneath the wood maximum control, and

  • Safe Hand Tool and Portable Power Tool Use and Inspections
    Safe Tool Use • Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. – All volunteers should have hard hats and safety glasses on at all times while on site. – In addition: • Provide dust masks (sanding, sweeping, insulating, etc.) • Provide ear plugs (power tools, work in enclosed spaces) • Provide knee pads, gloves, and any other safety equipment to increase comfort of crew members. Safe Tool Use • Do not allow the operation of tools without approval and supervision. – Make sure all members of your crews are trained to use the tools they need. – Remember: Everyone must get an orientation to all power saws before they use them, regardless of their personal experience. • Allow volunteers time to learn and encourage them to practice. – Make sure they are comfortable using tools after instruction. Safe Tool Use • Do not over-exert yourself or the tool. – This can lead to slips and strains. Encourage volunteers to take breaks rather than overexerting or straining themselves. • Place yourself in a good body position. – Most hand tool accidents result from being struck by the tool or flying chips. • Use only sharp knives, blades and bits. – Replace as necessary. Make sure volunteers are comfortable replacing bits and blades or coming to you when they need one replaced. Inspecting Hand Tools • Regularly inspect tools for broken or missing pieces. – Inspect screws, nuts, bolts and moveable parts to make sure they are tightened. – Check handles for cracks and splinters. – Never use tape to fix a handle; it is a direct OSHA violation. X • Do not use damaged tools. – Take the tool out of use , clearly label it and send it to the warehouse for repairs.

  • TABLE (CIRCULAR) SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. the Saw Blade
    TABLE (CIRCULAR) SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. The saw blade should be raised no more than 1/8 inch above the stock. 2. The material edge that is held against the rip fence or miter gauge should be straight. 3. Be sure the blade does not contact the throat plate, the fence, or the guard before the power is turned on. 4. Clamp stop blocks to the table to prevent kickbacks before lowering material into the blade. 5. Do not use a dull blade. A dull blade tries to lift the work and throw it out of the machine. With a dull blade, you must push the work much harder and your hands are more likely to slip off of your work. 6. Resawing is not permitted on the table saw. 7. It is unsafe to cut round stock on the table (circular) saw. 8. Do not use both the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time while cutting stock. 9. You must use a clearance block clamped to the fence for a stop block when using the miter gauge to make multiple cuts of the same length. 10. Use a push stick when ripping material less than 4 inches wide. 11. Ripping of any material less than 2 inches wide must be done by the instructor. 12. Do not stand in line with the blade while starting and operating the table (circular) saw. 13. Do not crowd or bind the saw blade. The work may break or be thrown from the machine and your hands may slip into the blade.

Contact Pressure: Pressure from a hard surface, point, or edge on any part of your body. Awkward postures are postures that strain the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands or back. Bending, stooping, twisting and reaching are examples of awkward postures. Tool use and body positioning the work piece will affect your shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand or back posture. Choose an ergonomic tool requiring the least continuous force and which can be used without awkward postures. The right tool will help you to minimize pain and fatigue by keeping your neck, shoulders, and back relaxed and your arms at your sides. Avoid raising your shoulders and elbows; relaxed shoulders and elbows are more comfortable and will make it easier to drive downward. Ergonomic Tools • A tool becomes “ergonomic” only when it fits the task you are performing and it fits your hand without causing awkward postures, harmful contact pressures or other safety and health risks.

Orlowski 1,* , Przemyslaw Dudek 2, Daniel Chuchala 1 , Wojciech Blacharski 1 and Tomasz Przybylinski 3 1 Department of Manufacturing and Production Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Gdansk University of Technology, 80-233 Gdansk, Poland; [email protected] (D.C.); [email protected] (W.B.) 2 Rema S.A., 11-440 Reszel, Poland; [email protected] 3 Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences, 80-233 Gdansk, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 September 2020; Accepted: 15 October 2020; Published: 21 October 2020 Abstract: Cutting wood with circular saws is a popular machining operation in the woodworking and furniture industries. In the latter sliding table saws (panel saws) are commonly used for cutting of medium density fiberboards (MDF), high density fiberboards (HDF), laminate veneer lumber (LVL), plywood and chipboards of different structures. The most demanded requirements for machine tools are accuracy and precision, which mainly depend on the static deformation and dynamic behavior of the machine tool under variable cutting forces. The aim of this study is to present a new holistic approach in the process of changing the sliding table saw design solutions in order to obtain a better machine tool that can compete in the contemporary machine tool market. This study presents design variants of saw spindles, the changes that increase the critical speeds of spindles, the measurement results of the dynamic properties of the main drive system, as well as the development of the machine body structure.

  • Market Research Report on Table Saw Industry And
    MEMORANDUM | 28 MARCH 2016 TO William Zamula and Robert Franklin, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Directorate for Economic Analysis FROM Jane Israel, Matthew Baumann, and Jennifer Baxter, Industrial Economics, Incorporated (IEc) SUBJECT Revised Final Table Saws Market Research Report On April 15, 2003, Stephen Gass, David Fanning, and James Fulmer, representing SawStop, petitioned the Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) to promulgate a mandatory standard to reduce or prevent injuries from contact with the blade of a table saw. The petitioners alleged that table saws pose an unacceptable risk of severe injury because they lack an adequate safety system to protect the user from accidental contact with the spinning blade during operation. To mitigate this risk, the petitioners requested that CPSC require that table saws include an active injury mitigation (AIM) system that retracts the table saw blade instantly upon contact with human flesh. The request was docketed as CP03-2 and published for comment.1 On July 11, 2006, CPSC voted to grant Petition CP03-2 and directed staff to draft an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR). The CPSC lost its quorum on July 15, 2006 and was unable the move forward the publication of the ANPR at that time. The ANPR was ultimately published in 2011.2 The goal of the ANPR is to reduce blade contact injuries from table saws. To enhance CPSC’s understanding of the market for table saws, IEc conducted market research relying on publicly available information and limited outreach to potentially affected entities. Our efforts are intended to supplement information and data previously collected by CPSC and provided via public comment.
