CAUSES OF KICKBACK

Kickbackcan occurwhen theblade stallsor binds,kick-
ingtheworkpieca backtoward youwith greatforce and

speed. If your handsare near the saw blade, theymay

be jerked loosefromthe workpieceand may contactthe
blade. Kickbackcan cause seriousinjury.Use precautions

to avoidthe risks.

Kickback can be caused by any actionthatpinchesthe
blade in the wood such as:

• Making a cutwith incorrect blade depth

• Sawlng into knots or nailsin the workpiece

• Twistingthewood while makinga out

• Failingto supportwork

• Forcinga cut

• Cutting warped orwet lumber

• Us{ngthe wrong blade for thetype of cut

• Not following oorrect operatingprocedures

• Misusingthe saw

• Failingto usethe an_-kick.baokpawls

• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or h'npmperiy set
b_ad_

AVOIDING KICKBACK

• Always use the correct blade depth setting.The top of
the blade teeth shouldclearthe workpieceby 1/8 in. to

114in.

• Inspect the work for knotsor nailsbeforebeginninga

cut KnocY,out any loose knotsw_tha hamme_'.Never

saw into a loose knot orna|(.

• Always use the ripfencewhen rip cuttingand themiter

gaugewhen crosscutting.This helps preventtwisting
thewood inthe cut.

• Always use cLsan,sharp,and properly-setblades,

Never make outs with dullblades.

• TOavoid pinchingthe blade, supportthe work properly
beforebeginninga cut,

• When making a cut. usesteady,evenpressure.Never
force outs.

• Do not cut wet orwarped lumber.

• Always herdyour workplece fLrmtywith both hands or

with pushsticks.Keep your body in a balanoed posi-

tionto be ready to resist kickbackshouldit occur.

Never standdirec_yin line withthe blade.

• Use the righttype of blade for the cutbeing made.

CUTTING AIDS

TYPES OF CUTS

See Figure25.

There aresixbas;ccuts:1) the crosscut, 2) the rip cut, 3)

the miter cut, 4}the bevelcross cut, 5) the beveldp cut,

and 6) the compound(bevel}mitercut. Altothercutsare
combinationsof thesebasic six,Operating proceduresfor

making each kind of cutare givenlater inthissection.
_k WARNING: Alwaysmake surethe blade guard

and anti-kickback p_wIs are in place and work'rng

propartywhen making these cutsto avoid possible
iniury.

Crosscuts are straight90° cuts rr_ds acrossthe grain of
the workpiaos.The wood is fed into the outat a90° angle

to the blade, and the blade isvertical.
Rip cuts are made withthe grain ofthewood. To avoid

kickbackwhilemaking a rip cut, make sure one side of
the wood rides firmly againstthe ripfence.

Miter cutsare madewith the wood at any angleto ths
blade otherthan 90°.The blade is verticaLMiter cuts

tend to "creep" away from the miterfence during cutting.

This can be controlledby holdingthe workplace astutely

againstthe miter fence.

_" WARNING; Always usea pushstick when cutting

FEATHERBOARD

A fsatherboard is a device usedto heJpcontroithe

workpisce by guidingit securelyagainstthetable or

fence. Faatharboardsareespecially usefulwhen ripping
small workpiecesand for completingnon-throughcuts.

The end is angled with a numberofshort kerfsto givea

frictionhold ontheworkplaceand lockedin place on the

table withe C-clamp,Testthatit can resistkickback.

A WARNING: Place the featharboardagainstthe

uncutportionof the wor_oieceto avoidkickback that
could cause seriouspersonaliniury.

HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD

See F/gum26.

The featherboard is an excellent project forthe saw.

Select s solid piece of lumberapproximately 3/4 in.
thick, 3-5/8 in.wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of

the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the
width to 30@and miter the other half of the same end

to 45° (see page32 for information on miter cuts). Mark
the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in.

Drilla 3/8 in. hoteat the 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.
Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 31.

Set the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in.

"finger" to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock only to
the mark previouslymade st 6 in. Turn the saw OFF

and allow the blade to completety stop rotating before
removing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced

ripsinto the workpisce 1o allow approximately 1/4 in.
fingers and 1/8 in. spaces between the fingers.

HOW TO MOUNT A FEATHERBOARD

See Figure27.

Removethe adjustingclamp knob, bolt,and washerfrom
