Your table saw is equipped with a blade guard, anti-
kickback pawls and riving knife assembly that covers
the blade and reduces the possibility of accidental
blade contact. The riving knife is a flat plate that fits
into the cut made by the saw blade and effectively
fights kickback by lessening the tendency of the blade
to bind in the cut. Two anti-kickback pawls are located
on the sides of the riving knife that allow the wood
to pass through the blade in the cutting direction but
reduce the possibility of the material being thrown
backwards toward the operator. The blade guard and
anti-kickback pawls can only be used when making
through cuts that sever the wood. When making
rabbets and other non-through cuts, the blade guard
and anti-kickback pawls must be removed and riving
knife lowered to the non-through cut position marked
on the riving knife.
Use all components of the guarding system (blade
guard assembly, riving knife and anti-kickback pawls)
for every operation for which they can be used
including all through-cutting. If you elect not to use
any of these components for a particular application,
exercise additional caution regarding control of the
workpiece, the use of push sticks, the position of your
hands relative to the blade, the use of safety glasses,
the means to avoid kickback and all other warnings
contained in this manual and on the saw itself. Replace
the guarding systems as soon as you return to through-
cutting operations. Keep the guard assembly in
working order.
In order to operate your table saw safely, you must
use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the
workpiece would otherwise cause your hands to be
within 6 inches (152 mm) of the saw blade or other
cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.
No special wood is needed to make additional push
sticks as long as they are sturdy and long enough
and the wood is free of knots, checks and cracks. A
length of 16 inches (400 mm) is recommended with a
notch that fits against the edge of the workpiece to
prevent slipping. It’s a good idea to have several push
sticks of the same minimum length, 16 inches (400
mm), with different size notches for different workpiece
thicknesses.
The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as
it performs its intended function of keeping your hands
away from the blade. Angling the notch so the push
stick can be held at a 20- to 30-degree angle from the
saw’s table will help you to hold down the workpiece
while also moving it through the saw. Refer to diagram
in cutting aids section on page 23 of this manual.
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
MAKING A PUSH STICK
fixtures or feather boards to help guide and control
The workpiece. Accessories for use with your saw
are available at extra cost from your local dealer or
authorized service center.
16. DO NOT USE RIP FENCE AND MITER GAUGE
AT THE SAME TIME.
17. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into a saw blade. Operate with table
at or near waist level for maximum balance and
control. Anticipate effect of workpiece size on
your ability to adjust position and maintain control
through completion of cut.
18. KEEP ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS AT LEAST
SIX INCHES AWAY FROM THE BLADE.
19. KEEP HANDS AND OTHER BODY PARTS OUT
OF THE BLADE PATH. NEVER have any part of
your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
20. NEVER START THE MACHINE WITH THE
WORKPIECE AGAINST THE BLADE to reduce
the risk of a thrown workpiece.
21. DO NOT REACH OVER/REACH AROUND. Never
reach over, in back of, or around the cutting tool
with either hand while the blade is in motion.
22. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED BLADE
OR TRAPPED WORKPIECE without first turning
the machine off and disconnecting the saw from
the power source.
23. BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW , wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop, then disconnect from the
power source, clean the table and work area, and
lock out switch to prevent unauthorized use.
24. AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE OR EXCESSIVE
VIBRATION may indicate a problem with your
saw. If this happens, turn it off and disconnect it
from the power source until the problem has been
located and corrected. Contact customer service
for assistance if the problem cannot be solved.
