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.
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 kick-
back.
Align the fence to be parallel with the saw
blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the work-
piece against the saw blade and create kickback.
Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece
against the table and fence when making non-
through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or
resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control
the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
Use extra caution when making a cut into
blind areas of assembled workpieces. The pro-
truding saw blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Support large panels to minimize 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.
Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece
that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide it with a miter
gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or
twisted workpiece is unstable and causes mis-
alignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding
and kickback.
Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could
pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
When restarting the saw with the saw blade in
the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf
so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the
material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the
workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is
restarted.
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 minimize binding,
stalling and kickback.
Safety Instructions for Table Saws
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TABLE SAW OPERATING
PROCEDURE WARNINGS
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, antikickback device or saw blade guard,
and when the machine is left unattended. Precau-
tionary measures will avoid accidents.
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.
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 un-
even slippery floors invite accidents.
Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under
the saw table and/or the dust collection device.
Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may
self-ignite.
The table saw must be secured. A table saw that
is not properly secured may move or tip over.
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table
before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a
potential jam can be dangerous.
Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Saw blades that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the saw will run off-center, causing loss of
control.
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 safe op-
eration and optimum performance.
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.
Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate
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 se-
rious injury.
