b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to
pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental con-
tact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may
drag your fingers into the saw blade.
c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is be-
ing cut off against the rotating saw blade. Press-
ing the workpiece being cut off against the saw
blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade.
A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against
the saw blade and create kickback.
e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece
against the table and fence when making non-
through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or re-
sawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind
areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding
saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be
placed under all portions of the panel overhanging
the table top.
h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that
is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have
a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge
or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted
workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of
the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could
pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in
the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so
that the saw teeth are not engaged in the materi-
al. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece
and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient
set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades
with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set
saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
Table saw operating procedure warnings
a) Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power
cord when removing the table insert, changing
the saw blade or making adjustments to the riv-
ing knife or saw blade guard, and when the ma-
chine is left unattended. Precautionary measures
will avoid accidents.
b) Never leave the table saw running unattended.
Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it comes
to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is
an uncontrolled hazard.
c) Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area
where you can maintain good footing and bal-
ance. It should be installed in an area that pro-
vides enough room to easily handle the size of
your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and une-
ven slippery floors invite accidents.
d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from
under the saw table and/or the dust collection
device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and
may self-ignite.
e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that
is not properly secured may move or tip over.
f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table
before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a
potential jam can be dangerous.
g) Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting means such as flanges, saw blade
washers, bolts or nuts. This saw blade mounting
material has been specially designed for your saw,
for safe operation and optimum performance.
i) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as
a stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally con-
tacted.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to ro-
tate in the proper direction. Do not use grinding
wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a
table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of
accessories not recommended may cause serious
injury.
Safety instructions for the use of saw blades
1. Only use insertion tools if you have mastered their
use.
2. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed
specified on the insertion tool may not be exceeded.
If specified, observe the speed range.
3. Observe the motor / saw blade direction of rotation.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out
cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
5. Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
