27. Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots
or with nails or other foreign material, on its
surface. Do not attempt to saw twisted, warped
or bowed stock unless one edge has been
jointed for guiding purposes prior to sawing.
Excessively warped stock should not be used.
28. Do not attempt to saw long or wide boards
unsupported where spring or weight could
cause the board to shift position.
29. Always use the riving knife, blade guard, push
stick and other safety devices for all operations
where they can be used.
30. Be sure the saw blade rotates clockwise when
viewed from the motor side (left side) of the
machine.
31. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove chips or
debris — do not use bare hands.
32. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.
33. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
34. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the
machine.
35. Blade should have minimum exposure during
cuts. Adjust blade to approximately 1/8” inch
above surface of workpiece.
1.1 Kickback
The most common accidents among table saw
users, according to statistics, can be linked to
kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from
the table that can strike the operator. Kickback can
also result in the operator’s hands being pulled into
the blade.
Kickback Prevention
Tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback:

Make sure the riving knife is always aligned with
the blade. A workpiece can bind or stop the flow
of the cut if the riving knife is misaligned, and
result in kickback.

Use a riving knife during every cut. The riving
knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece, which
will reduce the chance of kickback.

Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece
must be fed parallel to the blade, otherwise
kickback will likely occur. Always use the fence
or miter gauge to support the workpiece.

Make sure that rip fence is parallel to blade. If
not, the chances of kickback are very high.
Take the time to check and adjust the rip fence.

Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime you
stop feeding a workpiece that is in the middle of
a cut, the chance of binding, resulting in
kickback, is greatly increased.
Tips for Kickback Protection
Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken
to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to protect
you if kickback
does occur:

Stand to the side of the blade when cutting. An
ejected workpiece usually travels directly in
front of the blade.

Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your eyes
and face are the most vulnerable part of your
body.

Never place your hand behind the blade. If
kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled into
the blade.

Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If a kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take the
damage that your hand would have received.
