controlled workpiece to lift up and out
of the saw toward the operator.
Kickback is usually a result of tool
misuse and can be limited or avoided
by following the precautions below:
Fence must be completely parallel
•
to the saw blade.
Workpiece must be free from flaws
•
(such as loose knots) and from
foreign objects (such as nails and
screws).
Support large workpieces along
•
their entire length. Large workpiec-
es tend to bend, grabbing the blade.
Do not use a dull, damaged, or
•
pitch-covered blade.
Do not use fence as a guide when
•
crosscutting.
Do not ripcut a twisted or warped
•
workpiece, or workpiece without
straight edge to guide along fence.
Maintain control of the workpiece.
•
Do not allow the workpiece to rest
against the moving blade without
holding onto it.
If the blade binds or a cut is inter-
•
rupted, turn off the power switch
and hold the workpiece still until the
blade stops. Correct the cause of
blade binding before proceeding.
Before continuing an unfinished
•
cut, center the blade in the pre-cut
kerf and check that the saw teeth
are not engaged into the workpiece
before turning on the saw.
Push the wood stock past the blade
•
prior to release.
Check guards for proper operation
11.
with saw disconnected from power
before each use. Do not disable any
guard. Do not operate saw if any
movable guard does not move freely
and close instantly. Make sure any
movable guard does not touch the
blade in all angles, depths of cut, and
positions.
Keep the guard in place while
12.
through-sawing. Verify that the
spreader lines up with the blade to
prevent binding.
