create kickback.
e) Use a featherboard to guide the
workpiece against the table and fence
when making non-through cuts such
as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing
cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f) Use extra caution when making a
cut into blind areas of assembled
workpieces. The protruding saw blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to minimise
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.
h) 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.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece,
stacked vertically or horizontally.
The saw blade could pick up one or more
pieces and cause kickback.
j) When restarting the saw with the saw
blade in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf so that the saw
teeth are not engaged in the material.
If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the
workpiece and cause kickback when the
saw is restarted.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and
with sufficient set. Never use warped
saw blades or saw blades with cracked
or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set
saw blades minimise binding, stalling and
kickback.
4) Table saw operating
procedure warnings
a) Turn off the table saw and disconnect
the power cord when removing the
table insert, changing the saw blade
or making adjustments to the riving
knife, anti-kickback device or saw
blade guard, and when the machine
is left unattended. Precautionary
measures will avoid accidents.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust
from under the saw table and/or the
dust collection device. Accumulated
sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
e) The table saw must be secured. A table
saw that is not properly secured may move
or tip over.
f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from
the table before the table saw is
turned on. Distraction or a potential jam
can be dangerous.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) 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.
