workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a
binding condition and kickback.
d. Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A
misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw
blade and create kickback.
e. Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the
table and fence when making nonthrough cuts such as
rabbeting 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, 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.
Additional Safety Rules for Saw Benches
WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and
other materials may cause melted material to
accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the
saw blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating
and binding while cutting.
•
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction
and that the teeth are pointing to the front of the saw
bench.
•
Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any
operation.
•
Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and the larger face
of the clamp washer is against the blade. Tighten the arbor
nut securely.
•
Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct
distance from the blade.
•
Never operate the saw without the upper and lower guards
in place.
•
Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
•
Always keep the push stick in its store place when not in
use.
•
Do not use the guard for handling or transportation.
•
Do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
•
Never cut light alloy. The machine is not designed for this
application.
•
Do not use abrasive disc or diamond cutting wheels.
•
Rabbeting, slotting or grooving is not allowed.
•
In case of machine failure, immediately switch the machine
off and remove from the power source. Report the failure
and mark the machine in suitable form which prevents that
other persons use the defective machine.
•
When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force
during cutting, ALWAYS switch the machine off and
remove from the power source. Remove the workpiece
and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Turn the machine
on and start a new cutting operation with reduced feed
force.
•
NEVER attempt to cut a stack of loose pieces of material
which could cause loss of control or kickback. Support all
materials securely.
•
Take care that the blade guard is properly positioned.
When sawing, it must always face against the workpiece.
Saw Blades
•
Do not use saw blades that do not conform to the
dimensions stated in the Technical Data. Do not use any
spacers to make a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the
blades specified in this manual, complying with EN847-1, if
intended for wood and similar materials.
