CSA Required Safety Information

WARNING! For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual before Operating Tablesaw.
(a) – Never place your hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade.
(b) – "Wear eye protection" or the sign M004 of ISO 7010.
(c) – Always use a properly functioning saw-blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device

for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing.
(d) – Use a push-stick or push-block when required.

– Do not perform any operation freehand.

(e)
(f) – Pay particular attention to instructions on reducing risk of kickback.
(g) – Never reach around or over saw blade.

– Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.

(H)
(I) – Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side

of the saw blade as the fence.
In addition, use hearing protection and wear gloves when handling saw blades.

Guarding Related Warnings

Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.

Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for every through-cutting operation. For
through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the
guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.

Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing or
resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback device. The guard,
riving knife, and anti-kickback device help to reduce the risk of injury.

Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is
turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.

Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment
can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.

For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife and anti-kickback device are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with
the riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the
riving knife and antikickback device.

Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade
diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the
thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the
riving knife.

Cutting Procedures Warnings

Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of

inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece

in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your
hand, being pulled into the saw blade.

6

F2 Table Saw

Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop
when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at
the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.

When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push
stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block
when this distance is less than 50 mm. "Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from
the saw blade.

Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions.
This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.

Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the
saw blade.

Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and
guide the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.

Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact
with the moving saw blade.

Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide
workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge,
causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.

Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off
immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause
kickback or stall the motor.

Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped
between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade.
Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.

Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

Kickback Causes and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of
cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw
blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.

Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade
and is propelled towards the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade
as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in
line with the saw blade.

Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the
saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.

Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the
workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.

7

F2 Table Saw

Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the
saw blade and create kickback.

Use a feather-board to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such
as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A feather-board helps to control the workpiece in the event of a
kickback.

Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Support large panels to minimize 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.

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.

Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or
more pieces and cause kickback.

When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center 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.

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 minimize binding, stalling and kickback.

Table Saw Operating Procedure Warnings

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.

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.

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.

Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device.
Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.

The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over.
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential

jam can be dangerous.
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that

do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-center, causing loss of control.
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.

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.

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.

(b) AVERTISSEMENT - "Porter une protection oculaire" ou le signe M004 de la norme ISO 7010.
(c) AVERTISSEMENT - Toujours utiliser un protecteur de lame de scie, un couteau diviseur et un dispositif

anti-retour pour chaque opération pour laquelle il peut être utilisé, y compris tout au long du sciage.

10

F2 Table Saw

(d) AVERTISSEMENT - Utiliser un bâton-poussoir ou un bloc-poussoir au besoin.
(e) AVERTISSEMENT - N'effectuez aucune opération à main levée.
(f) AVERTISSEMENT - Porter une attention particulière aux instructions sur la réduction du risque de rebond.

(ou "Savoir comment réduire les risques de pots-de-vin.")
(g) AVERTISSEMENT - Ne jamais tendre la main autour ou au-dessus de la lame de scie. (ou "Ne jamais

tendre la main à l'arrière ou au-dessus de la lame de scie").
(H) AVERTISSEMENT - Éteindre l'outil et attendre que la lame de scie s'arrête avant de déplacer la pièce ou

de changer les réglages.
(I) AVERTISSEMENT - Ne jamais se tenir directement en ligne avec la lame de scie. Placez toujours votre

corps du même côté de la lame de scie que la clôture.
De plus, utilisez une protection auditive et portez des gants pour manipuler les lames de scie.

Avertissements relatifs à la protection

Laisser les protecteurs en place. Les protecteurs doivent être en état de fonctionnement et montés
correctement. Un protecteur mal fixé, endommagé ou ne fonctionnant pas correctement doit être réparé ou
remplacé.

Toujours utiliser un protecteur de lames, un couteau diviseur et un appareil antirecul pour toute opération de
coupe traversante. Pour les opérations de coupe traversante où la lame traverse complètement l'épaisseur
de la pièce, le protecteur et les autres appareils de sécurité contribuent à limiter le risque de blessure.

Fixer de nouveau immédiatement le protecteur après l'exécution d'une opération (telle que le refeuillement,
l'engravure ou la refente) qui nécessite l'enlèvement du protecteur, du couteau diviseur et/ou de l'appareil
anti-recul. Le protecteur, le couteau diviseur et l'appareil anti-recul contribuent à limiter le risque de
blessure.

Veiller à ce que la lame n'entre pas en contact avec le protecteur, le couteau diviseur ou la pièce avant le
déclenchement du commutateur. Un contact involontaire de ces éléments avec la lame pourrait entraîner
un fonctionnement dangereux.

Ajuster le couteau diviseur comme décrit dans la notice d'utilisation. Un espacement, un positionnement et
un alignement incorrects peuvent empêcher le couteau diviseur de limiter le risque de recul.

Pour que le couteau diviseur et l'appareil anti-recul fonctionnent, ils doivent être engagés dans la pièce. Le
couteau diviseur et l'appareil anti-recul sont inefficaces lorsque l'on coupe des pièces trop courtes pour que
le couteau diviseur et l'appareil antirecul puissent s'y engager. Dans ces conditions, le couteau diviseur et
l'appareil anti-recul ne peuvent pas empêcher un recul de se produire.

Utiliser la lame appropriée au couteau diviseur. Pour que le couteau diviseur fonctionne correctement, le
diamètre de la lame doit correspondre au couteau diviseur approprié, l'épaisseur de la lame de scie doit être
plus mince que celle du couteau diviseur et la largeur de coupe de la lame de scie doit être supérieure à
l'épaisseur du couteau diviseur.

Avertissements relatifs aux modes opératoires de coupe

DANGER: Ne jamais mettre les doigts ou les mains à proximité ou dans l'alignement de la lame. Votre main
pourrait glisser ou se diriger vers la lame dans un moment d'inattention et entraîner une blessure grave.

Avancer la pièce en direction de la lame ou du couteau uniquement dans le sens inverse de rotation.
L'avance de la pièce dans le même sens que le sens de rotation de la lame au-dessus de la table peut
entraîner la pièce et la main dans la lame.

Ne jamais utiliser le guide inclinable pour avancer la pièce lors d'un sciage en long et ne pas utiliser le guide
longitudinal comme butée longitudinale lors d'un sciage en travers à l'aide du guide inclinable. Le guidage

11

F2 Table Saw

de la pièce en utilisant en même temps le guide longitudinal et le guide inclinable augmente le risque de
blocage de la lame et de recul.

Lors d'un sciage en long, toujours appliquer la force d'alimentation de la pièce entre le guide et la lame.
Utiliser un poussoir lorsque la distance entre le guide et la lame est inférieure à 150 mm et utiliser un bloc­poussoir lorsque cette distance est inférieure à 50 mm. Des appareils d'aide à l'utilisation maintiendront la
main à une distance sans risque de la lame.

Utiliser seulement le poussoir fourni par le fabricant ou construit conformément aux instructions. Ce
poussoir permet de garder une distance suffisante entre la main et la lame.

Ne jamais utiliser un poussoir endommagé ou coupé. Un poussoir endommagé peut faire glisser votre main
dans la lame.

Ne jamais effectuer une opération "à main levée". Toujours utiliser le guide longitudinal ou le guide
inclinable pour positionner et guider la pièce. “A main levée" signifie utiliser ses mains pour soutenir ou
guider la pièce, au lieu d'un guide longitudinal ou inclinable. Une coupe à main levée entraîne un mauvais
alignement, un blocage et un recul.

Ne jamais tendre le bras autour ou au-dessus de la lame rotative. Le fait d'étendre le bras pour atteindre une
pièce peut entraîner un contact accidentel avec la lame rotative.

Prévoir un support supplémentaire de la pièce à l'arrière et/ou sur les côtés de la scie circulaire pour des
pièces longues et/ou larges afin de les maintenir à plat. Une pièce longue et/ou large a tendance à pivoter
sur le bord de la table, entraînant une perte de contrôle, un blocage de la lame et un recul.

Avancer la pièce à un rythme régulier. Ne pas plier ou tordre la pièce. En cas de coincement de la lame,
arrêter l'outil immédiatement, le débrancher et décoincer la lame. Un coincement de la lame par la pièce
peut provoquer un recul ou faire caler le moteur.

Ne pas enlever des morceaux de matériau coupé lors du fonctionnement de la lame. Le matériau peut être
emprisonné entre le guide ou à l'intérieur du protecteur de lame et la lame, entraînant vos doigts dans la
lame. Stopper le fonctionnement de la scie et attendre l'arrêt de la scie avant de retirer le matériau.

Utiliser un guide auxiliaire en contact avec le plateau de la table lors d'un sciage en long de pièces
d'épaisseur inférieure à 2 mm. Une pièce mince peut se coincer sous le guide longitudinal et provoquer un
recul.

Causes de recul et avertissements associés

Le recul est une réaction soudaine de la pièce due à une lame pincée, bloquée ou une ligne de coupe mal
alignée dans la pièce par rapport à la position de la lame ou lorsqu'une partie de la pièce se bloque entre la
lame et le guide longitudinal ou un autre objet fixe.
Le plus souvent lors d'un recul, la pièce est soulevée de la table par la partie arrière de la lame et est
projetée en direction de l'opérateur.
Le recul résulte d'une mauvaise utilisation de la scie et/ou de modes opératoires ou de conditions de
fonctionnement incorrects et peut être évité en prenant les précautions nécessaires telles qu'indiquées ci­dessous.
Ne jamais se tenir dans l'alignement direct de la lame. Toujours se tenir du même côté de la lame que le
guide. Un recul peut propulser la pièce à une vitesse rapide vers quiconque se trouvant devant et dans
l'alignement de la lame.
Ne jamais tendre le bras au-dessus ou à l'arrière de la lame pour retirer ou soutenir la pièce. Un contact
accidentel avec la lame peut se produire ou un recul peut entraîner vos doigts dans la lame.
Ne jamais maintenir et presser la pièce contre la lame rotative. Presser la pièce contre la lame rotative
provoquera un blocage de la lame et un recul.
Aligner le guide parallèlement à la lame. Un mauvais alignement du guide entraînera un pincement de la
pièce contre la lame et un recul.
