Compound Cut. The operation of making both
a bevel and a miter cut at one time.
Crosscut. The operation of making a cut across
the grain or width of a workpiece.
Dado. A non-through cut that produces a
square notch. A dado is typically from 1/8-in. to
13/16-in. wide. A dado requires a special set of
blades, not included with this table saw and a
special insert, which is included.
Featherboard. An accessory device that can be
made or purchased to help guide or hold down
a workpiece during cutting operations.
Freehand. A very dangerous operation of mak-
ing a cut without using the fence or miter
gauge in a cutting operation. Freehand cuts
must never be performed on a Table Saw.
Gum, Pitch or Resin. A sticky, sap based residue
that comes from wood products.
Heeling. The misalignment of the blade to the
miter slots; when the blade is not parallel to
the miter slots.
Kerf. The material removed from the work-
piece by the blade during any cutting opera-
tion.
Kickback. When the workpiece is thrown back
toward the operator at a high rate of speed
during a cutting operation.
Miter Cut. The operation of making a cut using
the miter gauge at any angle other than zero
degrees.
Push Stick. An accessory device that can be
made or purchased to help push the workpiece
through the blade. A push stick is used to keep
the operator’s hands away from the blade
when ripping a narrow workpiece.
Rabbet. A square notch in the edge of the
workpiece.
Rip Cut. The operation of making a cut with
the grain or down the length of the workpiece.
Saw Blade Path. The area that is directly in line
with the blade, including area over, under, be-
hind and in front of it.
Set of the Saw Blade. The distance that the tips
of the saw blade are angled outwards from the
thickness of the blade. The set of the saw blade
teeth allows for the blade body to pass safely
through all cuts.
Table/Work Area. The total surface of the top
of the table saw on which the workpiece rests
while set-up or cutting operations are being
performed.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
Exposure to the dust created by power sand-
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling and other con-
struction activities may cause serious and per-
manent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid
prolonged contact with dust. The dust may
contain chemicals known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
2. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any machine
can throw debris into the eyes during opera-
tions, which could cause severe and permanent
eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safe-
ty glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that
comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when oper-
ating power tools.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and oth-
er masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treat-
ed lumber.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use a dust
collection system along with an air filtration
system whenever possible. Always use properly
fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory pro-
tection appropriate for the dust exposure, and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
