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 pan-
els 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 ma-
terial. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the work-
piece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with suffi-
cient 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 pow-
er cord when removing the table insert, chang-
ing the saw blade or making adjustments to
the riving knife or saw blade guard, and when
the machine is left unattended. Precautionary
measures will avoid accidents.
b) Never leave the table saw running unattend-
ed. Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop. An unattended run-
ning 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
uneven 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
contacted.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to ro-
tate in the proper direction. Do not use grind-
ing 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.
