Workpiece Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to cut on this machine or may need to be modified before they
can be safely cut. Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following:
Material Type:
This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products,
laminate covered wood products, and some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementitious backer
board creates extremely fine dust and may reduce the life of the motor bearings. This
machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a
table saw greatly increases the risk of injury and damage to the saw or blade.
Foreign Objects:
Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded in
wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause
kickback, or break the blade, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your
workpiece for these items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.
Large/Loose Knots:
Loose knots can become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large
knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Choose workpieces that do not have
large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting through them.
Wet or "Green" Stock:
Cutting wood with a moisture content over 20% causes
unnecessary wear on the blades, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.
Excessive Warping:
Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous
to cut because they are unstable and may move unpredictably when being cut.
Minor Warping:
Slightly cupped workpieces can be safely supported with cupped side
facing the table or fence; however, work-pieces supported on the bowed side will rock during
the cut, which could cause kickback.
BLADE REQUIREMENTS
To ensure that the spreader or riving knife works safely, the following requirements MUST be
met when installing new blades.
Blade Diameter:
10"
Required Blade Body Thickness (excluding teeth):
0.078" (2mm)
Required Blade Kerf Thickness:
0.118"- (3mm)
The spreader or riving knife MUST be aligned/adjusted to blade.
These requirements DO NOT apply to dado blades.
