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 fi ngers into the saw blade. Turn
the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops
before removing material.
l)
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the
table top when ripping workpieces less
than 0.079" (2 mm) thick. A thin workpiece
may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
m) Avoid overheating of the saw blade and/
or burn marks on the workpiece. Push the
workpiece smoothly into the saw blade and
do not stop during the cut.
3) Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece
due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misalig-
ned 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
fi xed 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 incor-
rect 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 fi ngers 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) Do not use this saw to make operations
such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing
cuts. For design reasons, the saw is not sui-
table for such work. The guard and riving knife
must never be removed, because it reduces

the risk of injury.
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. Lar-
ge panels tend to sag under their own weight.
Support(s) must be placed under all portions
of the panel overhanging the table top.
h) Do not work on any 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 misalignment of the kerf with the saw
blade, binding and kickback.
i)
Never cut more than one workpiece, sta-
cked vertically or horizontally. The saw
blade could pick up one or more pieces and
cause kickback.
j)
Do not start the saw if the saw blade is
in the workpiece. 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
suffi cient set. Never use warped saw bla-
des 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
battery when removing the table insert,
changing the saw blade or making ad-
justments to the riving knife or saw blade
guard, and when the machine is left un-
attended. Precautionary measures will avoid
accidents.
b) Never leave the table saw running un-
attended. 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 foo-
ting and balance. It should be installed
in an area that provides enough room to
easily handle the size of your workpiece.
Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery
fl oors 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.
