saw blade and is propelled towards the opera-
tor.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or in-
correct 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.
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, dado-
ing or resawing 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 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 por-
tions of the panel overhanging the table top.
h. Use extra caution when cutting a work-
piece 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 misalignment of
the kerf with the saw blade, binding and
kickback.

Safety Instructions for Table Saws
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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, 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 work-
piece 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 minimize binding, stalling and
kickback. Cleaning accumulated sap or
plastic from the tips and body of the blade
will reduce overheating and binding of the
blade. When cutting plastic materials, avoid
melting the plastic.
l. Do not release the workpiece until you
have pushed it all the way past the saw-
blade. Failure to do so may cause kickback
and personal injury.
m. Do not confine the cut-off piece when rip-
ping or cross cutting. Confining the cut-off
piece when ripping or cross cutting may
cause kickback and personal injury.
n. Replace or sharpen the anti-kickback
pawls when points become dull. Sharp anti-
kickback pawls minimize kickback.
o. Keep sawblade guard, riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls in place and operat-
ing properly. The riving knife must be in
alignment with the sawblade and the pawls
must stop a kickback once it has started.
Check their action before ripping. Keeping
these parts operating properly minimizes
kickback.
4. Table saw operating procedure
warnings
a. Turn off the table saw and disconnect the
battery pack when removing the table
insert, changing the saw blade or making
adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kick-
back device or blade guard, and when the
machine is left unattended. Precautionary
measures will avoid accidents.
