OPERATION
Do not allow familiarity
with a tool to make you careless.
Remember that a fraction of a second of
carelessness is sufcient to cause serious
injury.
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating power tools.
Failure to do so could result in objects
being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
Do not use any
attachments or accessories that are not
recommended by the manufacturer of this

ries that are not recommended can result

clarity, do not operate the saw with-out
the blade guard unless specically
instructed to do so.
The table saw must
be mounted to a rm, supporting, waist-

BASIC OPERATION OF THE
TABLE SAW
The 3-pronged plug must be plugged into
a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in compliance with all local
codes and ordinances. Improper connection
of the equipment can result in electric
shock. Check with an electrician or service
technician if you are unsure about proper
grounding. Do not alter the plug. If it will
not t into the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
CAUSES OF KICKBACK
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls
or binds, causing the workpiece to be
kicked back toward the operator with great
force and speed. If your hands are near the
saw blade, they may be jerked loose from
the workpiece and come into contact with
the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause
serious injury, and it is well worth using
precautions to avoid the risks.
Kickback can be caused by any action that
pinches the blade in the wood, such as the
following:
• Making a cut with incorrect blade
depth.
• Sawing into knots or nails in the work
piece.
• Twisting the wood while making a cut.
• Failing to support the workpiece.
• Forcing a cut.
• Cutting warped or wet lumber.
• Using the wrong blade for the type of
cut.
• Not following correct operating
procedures.
• Misusing the saw.
• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.
• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or
improperly set blade.
