the jam.
Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause
kickback or stall the motor.
k) Do not remove piece of cut-off material while the
saw is running.
The material may become trapped between the fence
or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade
pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw
off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing
material.
I) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table
top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm
thick.
A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and
create a kickback.
3. Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a
pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the
workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the
workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or
other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from
the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled
towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.
Always position your body on the same side of
the saw blade as the fence rail.
Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity
towards anyone standing in front and in line with the
saw blade.
b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to
pull or to support the workpiece.
Accidental contact 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 being
cut off against the rotating saw blade.
Pressing 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.
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
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.
4. 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
riving knife, anti-kickback pawls or saw blade
guard, and when the machine 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
balance. It should be installed in an area that
provides enough room to easily handle the size
of the workpieces.
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 saw dust 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.
These mounting means were specially designed for
your saw, for
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.
