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.
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 minimise 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.
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 misalignment
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 work-
piece, 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.
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 minimise
binding, stalling and 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, antikickback
device or blade guard, and when the machine is left unat-
tended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
b) 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.
c) Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing 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 floors 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.
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 hardware of the saw will run off-centre,
causing loss of control.
h) 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 operation and optimum performance.
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.
j)
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 serious injury.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions

Before transporting the machine, make sure that the top protective
guard covers the top section of the saw blade.
Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g. chips and cut-offs.
In spite of compliance with all relevant design regulations, dangers
may still present themselves when the machine is operated, e.g.:
workpiece parts being thrown off,
parts of damaged tools being thrown off, noise emissions, wood dust
emissions.
