with the sawblade and the pawls must stop
a kickback once it has started. Check their
action before ripping. Keeping these parts
operating properly minimizes 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 adjust-
ments 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 unattend-
ed. 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 acci-
dents.
d. Frequently clean and remove sawdust from
under the saw table and/or the dust collec-
tion device. Accumulated sawdust is combus-
tible 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. Dis-
traction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
g. Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of ar-
bor holes. Saw blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run off-
center, 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 ac-
cidentally 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

Safety Instructions for Table Saws

wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade
installation or use of accessories not recom-
mended may cause serious injury.
k. Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Acces-
sories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
l.
If you stall or jam the sawblade in the work-
piece, turn saw "OFF" and eliminate reason
for stalling or jamming before restarting.
Remove the workpiece from the sawblade,
and replace if it is binding. Check to see if
the sawblade is parallel to the table slots or
grooves and if the riving knife is in proper
alignment with the sawblade. If ripping at the
time, check to see if rip fence is parallel with
the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.
m. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off materi-
al that may become trapped inside the blade
guard while the saw is running. Turn saw
"OFF" and wait until blade stops. Removal of
such pieces while saw is running could endan-
ger your hands or cause a kickback.
n. Crosscutting operations are more conve-
niently worked and with greater safety if an
auxiliary wood facing is attached to the miter
gauge. See page 44.
o. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool
marked for an operating speed less than
3800 R.P.M. Using a blade or other cutting
tool that is rated less could cause personal
injury. Never use a cutting tool larger in diam-
eter than the diameter for which the saw was
designed. For greatest safety and efficiency
when ripping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed, since un-
der these conditions the riving knife is nearest
the blade.
p. Make sure the table insert is flush or slightly
below the table surface on all sides except
for rear side. NEVER operate the saw un-
less the proper insert is installed. Operation
without proper insert can lead to kickback and
personal injury.
q. Avoid overheating the blade tips.
