Through-sawing – A cut made from b. one side of a board to the opposite side, without stopping.
Ripcut or Ripping - A cut made paral-c. lel to (along with) the grain of the wood.
Crosscut or Crosscutting - A cut d. made perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to the grain of the wood.
Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood e. or other soft material with a notch cut into one end and which is used to push short pieces of material through saws. It provides a safe distance between the hands and the cutting tool. Must be narrower than the cut width to prevent contact with the blade.
Freehand – Feeding a workpiece f. through the saw without using a fence or guided support to guide it.

ed at all times while sawing. Use a roller stand (not provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.
To properly understand all safety 9. warnings, be familiar with the follow­ing safety terms and equipment:
Featherboard – A block with “ngers“ a. that hold the workpiece against the fence while sawing.
SKU 66630 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4
Kickback – A sudden reaction to a h. pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw toward the operator.
Spreader – A metal plate that fol-i. lows the saw blade to keep the kerf (gap) from closing on the saw blade. Spreaders, except riving knives, must be aligned to the blade after blade adjustment to prevent binding.
Riving Knife – A spreader mounted j. on the same mechanism as the blade. Generally more effective than simple spreaders.
As noted previously, 10. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing an un-
Page 5
controlled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw toward the operator. Kickback is usually a result of tool misuse and can be limited or avoided by following the precautions below:
movable guard does not move freely and close instantly. Make sure any movable guard does not touch the blade in all angles, depths of cut, and positions.
Fence must be completely parallel to the saw blade.
Workpiece must be free from aws
(such as loose knots) and from foreign objects (such as nails and screws).
Support large workpieces along their entire length. Large workpiec­es tend to bend, grabbing the blade.
Do not use a dull, damaged, or pitch-covered blade.
Do not use fence as a guide when crosscutting.
Do not ripcut a twisted or warped workpiece, or workpiece without straight edge to guide along fence.
Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not allow the workpiece to rest against the moving blade without holding onto it.
If the blade binds or a cut is inter- rupted, turn off the power switch and hold the workpiece still until the blade stops. Correct the cause of blade binding before proceeding.
Before continuing an unnished
cut, center the blade in the pre-cut kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece before turning on the saw.
Push the wood stock past the blade prior to release.
Check guards for proper operation 11. with saw disconnected from power before each use. Do not disable any guard. Do not operate saw if any
Keep the guard in place while 12. through-sawing. Verify that the spreader lines up with the blade to prevent binding.
Construct a Push Stick out of Wood 13. according to the guidelines on the fol­lowing page The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons. See next page for Push Stick Features and Func­tions.

Avoiding Kickback
The Table Saw can be used for 1. straight-line cutting, such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling and compound cutting. However, kickback can occur when the Blade stalls, a cut is made at an incorrect depth, or you saw into a knot or nail. To avoid kickback, do the following:
Use the correct blade depth setting. 2. The top blade teeth should clear the workpiece by 1/8” to 1/4”.
Inspect the workpiece for knots or 3. nails before beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer and do not saw into loose knot or nail.
Please note: The Switch can be 3. removed while the Table Saw is run­ning. But it cannot be restarted with­out inserting the Switch back into the Switch Box.
The Table Saw is also equipped with 4. a manual reset overload protector. If the motor shuts off or fails to start
