Safety Information
Table Saw Safety
!
•
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly
mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must
be repaired or replaced.
•
Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for every
through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other
safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.
•
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the
workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items
with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
•
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the
likelihood of kickback.
•
Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use
the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding
the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time
increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
•
Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in
accordance with he instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of
the hand from the saw blade.
•
Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use either the rip fence or the
mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means using your
hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge.
Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
•
Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If
jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the
jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the
motor
•
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. 6 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.
