				  side of the blade between the guide and the table may be left open to work on
				  the stock.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
				  The employer must ensure that the upper hood completely encloses the upper
				  portion of the blade, including the end of the saw arbor. The upper hood must
				  be constructed to protect the operator from flying material, and to deflect
				  sawdust. The sides of the lower exposed portion of the blade must be guarded to
				  the full diameter of the blade by a device that will automatically adjust
				  itself to the thickness of the stock and remain in contact with stock. The
				  employer may use an alternative lower blade guard if it provides equivalent
				  protection.
(2) The employer must
				  provide an adjustable stop to prevent the forward travel of the blade beyond
				  the position necessary to complete the cut.
(3) The employer must equip a radial arm-saw
				  with a mechanism to return the saw and keep it in position at the back of the
				  table or behind the rip fence.
For example: The employer may use a counterweight or a saw
					 retractor device, or tilt the front of the radial arm saw unit up enough to
					 maintain the blade at the back of the table or behind the rip fence when the
					 pull handle is released by the operator.
(4) The employer must ensure that ripping and
				  ploughing are permitted only against the direction in which the saw turns. Mark
				  the direction of the saw rotation on the hood, and attach a permanent warning
				  sign to the rear of the guard that prohibits ripping or ploughing from that
				  position. (Where the blade teeth exit the upper hood when set up for ripping
				  would be the rear of the saw in this case.) Each radial arm saw used for
				  ripping must be provided with antikickback fingers or dogs to prevent the saw
				  from throwing the material or stock back at the operator.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
				  The employer must ensure that each circular blade table saw used for ripping or
				  cross-cutting is guarded by a standard hood that covers the saw blade above the
				  material completely at all times during the cut. The hood must adjust itself
				  automatically to the thickness of, and must remain in contact with, the
				  material being cut.
Exception:
When finished surfaces of stock may be marred by the
							 guard, it may be raised slightly to avoid contact. The hood must be designed to
							 protect the operator from flying material.
(2) The employer must ensure that any table
				  saw used for ripping has antikickback fingers or dogs and a spreader.
(3) While used for rabbeting, ploughing,
				  grooving or dadoing a table saw may be used without an antikickback device and
				  a spreader. Upon completion, the antikickback device and spreader must be
				  replaced immediately.
(4) The
				  employer must ensure that the part of the table saw that is beneath the table
				  is fully guarded to prevent employee contact with the portion of the blade
				  below the table.
(5) Power
				  transmission components of table saws must be guarded according to WAC
				  296-307-280.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The employer must ensure that fuel-wood
				  saws are guarded by a standard guard that completely encloses the blade to the
				  depth of the teeth, except for the area where material is fed into the
				  blade.
(2) The employer must ensure
				  that the tables of fuel-wood saws is constructed so that material being sawed
				  is supported on both sides of the blade.
(3) The employer must provide a mechanism
				  that will prevent the leading edge of the saw from passing the front edge of
				  the table or roll case.
(4) The
				  employer must provide tilting tables of fuel-wood saws with a backrest for the
				  full length of the table. The backrest must extend upward from the table
				  platform at least to the height of the saw opening. An opening in a backrest
				  must be a maximum of two inches. The backrest frame and filler must be
