k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with su-
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 o 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 o 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
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
loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting means such as anges, saw blade
washers, bolts or nuts.
These mounting means were specially designed
for your saw, for safe operation and optimum per-
formance.
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.
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 pro-
pel 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
c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is
being cut o against the rotating saw blade.
saw blade will create a binding condition and kick-
back.
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 kick-
back.
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 mis-
alignment 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 material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up
the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw
is restarted.
