stalling and kickback.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
•
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, anti-kickback device or blade
guard, and when the machine is left unattended.
Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw
table and/or the dust collection device.
Accumulated sawdust
is combustible and may self-ignite.
•
The table saw must be secured.
A table saw that is not properly
secured may mesocveri port itoipn over.
•
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc., from the table before the
table saw is turned on.
Distraction or a potential jam can be
dangerous.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Firmly bolt the saw to a work bench or leg stand
at
approximately hip height.
•
Never operate the saw on the floor.
•
Keep guards in place
and in good working order. Blade guard
must be in place for all through cut operations. Reinstall the blade
guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut
operations which require removal of the blade guard.
•
Guard against kickback.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls
rapidly and workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can
pull your hand into the blade resulting in serious personal injury.
Stay out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade
binds or stalls.
•
Use rip fence.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide when
ripping.
•
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when
ripping workpieces less than 1/16" (2 mm) thick.
A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
Support large panels. To minimize risk of blade pinching and
kickback, always support large panels.
•
Remove all fences and auxiliary tables
before transporting saw.
Failure to do so can result in an accident causing possible serious
personal injury.
•
Don’t overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Never place arms or hands in line with the path of the cutting
blade.
•
Always use blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls
on all through cut operations. Through cut operations are those
in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece as in
ripping or cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the
anti-kickback pawls down, and the riving knife in place. Make sure
the blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls are
reinstalled immediately after finishing any non-through cut
operations which require their removal.
•
ALWAYS
lock the rip fence and secure bevel adjustment firmly
before cutting.
•
ALWAYS secure work
firmly against the rip fence or mitre gauge.
•
ALWAYS use a push stick.
A push stick is a device used to push a
workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands. Size
and shape can vary but the push stick must always be narrower
than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the
saw blade. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick so
your hand does not come close to the saw blade. Use a
featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts.
•
NEVER
perform any operation “freehand” which means using
only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use
either the rip fence or mitre fence to position and guide the work.
•
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides
of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep
them level.
A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to
pivot on the table’s edge causing loss of control, saw blade
binding and kickback.
•
NEVER
stand or have any part of your body in line with the path
of the saw blade.
•
NEVER
reach behind, over, or within 3" (7.6 cm) of the blade or
cutter with either hand for any reason.
•
Move the rip fence
out of the way when cross cutting.
•
Do not use the mitre gauge and rip fence
during the same
operation.
•
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.
•
NEVER
attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning
the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power source.
•
Provide adequate support
to the rear and sides of the saw table
for wide or long workpieces. A wide or long workpiece has a
tendency to pivot on the table’s edge causing loss of control, saw
blade binding and kickback.
•
Avoid kickbacks
(work thrown back toward you) by:
1. Keeping blade sharp.
2. Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
3. Keeping spreader, anti-kickback pawls, and blade guard in
place and operating.
4. Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way past the
saw blade using a push stick.
5. Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
•
Never cut metals, cement board, or masonry.
These materials
need to be cut by other special tools. Cutting them with this tool
can result in damage to the saw and personal injury.
•
If the power supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced only
by the manufacturer or by an authorized service centre to avoid
risk.
•
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting tool.
•
Make sure the work area has ample lighting
to see the work
and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation before
performing any work using the table saw.
•
Always turn off saw
before disconnecting it to avoid accidental
starting when reconnecting to power supply.
•
Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently and use to
instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them
these instructions also.
