by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the
following:
• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth.
• Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece.
• Twisting the wood while making a cut.
• Failing to support the workpiece.
• Forcing a cut.
• Cutting warped or wet lumber.
• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.
• Not following correct operating procedures.
• Misusing the saw.
• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.
• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
AVOIDING KICKBACK
Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:
• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The top of the blade
teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8" (3 mm) to 1/4" (6 mm).
• Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Knock
out any loose knots with a hammer. Never saw into a loose knot
or nail.
• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting. Use the mitre gauge
when cross cutting. This helps prevent twisting the wood in the
cut.
• Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned
fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create
kickback.
• Always use a clean, sharp, and properly set blade. Never make
cuts with a dull blade. Never use a warped saw blade or saw blade
with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades
minimize binding, stalling and kickback.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the workpiece properly
before beginning a cut.
• Support large panels to minimize 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.
• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.
• Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
• Use extra caution when cutting some prefinished or composition
wood products as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be
effective.
• Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of
assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects
that can cause kickback.
• 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.
• Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with push sticks
and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a balanced position to be
ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never stand directly in
line with the blade. Always position your body on the same side
of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece
at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with
the saw blade.
• 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 may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
• Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against
the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off
against the saw blade will create a binding condition and
kickback.
• Use of a featherboard will help hold the workpiece securely
against the saw table or fence when making non-through cuts
such as rabbets or dado cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
• Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or
horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and
cause kickback.
• Clean the saw, blade guard, under the table insert, and any areas
where saw dust or scrap workpieces may gather.
• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
• Always use the riving knife for every operation where it is allowed.
The use of this device will greatly reduce the risk of kickback.
ON/OFF SWITCH AND OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON
Refer to Figure 28
• The product can be switched on by pressing the green “I”-Button
on the on/off switch (1).
• The product can be switched off by pressing the red “0”-Button
on the on/off switch (1).
• The saw will automatically shut down when in a power failure;
restart the machine by pressing the green "I" button on the on/off
switch (1).
• The saw is equipped with an overload reset switch (2) to prevent
the saw from overload damage. The saw will automatically shut
off if the machine experiences overloaded cutting or low voltage.
Wait for the motor to cool down for at least five minutes. Press
the overload reset switch button to reset the overload switch.
After the motor has cooled down, press the green “I”-button on
the ON/OFF switch to restart saw.
CUTTING AIDS
Cutting aids such as push stick, push blocks, featherboards and jigs
should be used where appropriate to maximize your ability to
control your workpiece for a safe and precise cut. When making
non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick,
push block, featherboard and/or jig set-up so hands do not come
within 6" (15 cm) of blade.
A push stick is included with your saw. Additional push sticks and
other cutting aids can be purchased separately at any authorized
dealer. A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws
from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and all
non-through cuts. Instructions for making cutting aids can be
found in a later section.
PUSH STICK
Push stick can be purchased or made to securely hold down the
workpiece against the table when making non-through cuts or
ripping narrow stock. The stick must be narrower than the
workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on
the other end.
WARNING! Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer
or constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push stick
provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
WARNING!
Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
