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.

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

between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting
operation.
Blade Guard: Mechanism mounted over the saw
blade to prevent accidental contact with the cutting
edge.
Crosscut: Sawing operation in which the miter
gauge is used to cut across the grain of the
workpiece.
Dado Blade: Blade(s) used for cutting grooves and
rabbets. A stacked dado set can be used for wider
grooves.
Dado Cut: Flat bottomed groove in the face of the
workpiece made with a dado blade.
Featherboard: Device used to keep a board
against the rip fence or table, allowing the operator
to keep hands away from saw blade.
Freehand: Moving the workpiece into the blade
using only the hands, without a fixed positioning
device. (This is a dangerous, unacceptable
procedure on a table saw – always use appropriate
devices to feed the workpiece through the saw
blade during cutting operations.)
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw
blade.
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is lifted
up and thrown back toward an operator, caused
when a workpiece binds on the saw blade or
between the blade and rip fence (or other fixed
object). To minimize or prevent injury from
kickbacks, see the Operations section. Miter Gauge: A component that controls the
workpiece movement while performing a crosscut
of various angles.
Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that
requires the removal of the blade guard and
standard riving knife, resulting in a cut that does
not protrude through the top of the workpiece
(includes dado and rabbet cuts).
The blade guard and riving knife must be reinstalled after performing a non-through cut to
avoid accidental contact with the saw blade during
operation.
Parallel: Position of the rip fence equal in distance
at every point to the side face of the saw blade.
Perpendicular: 90° (right angle) intersection or
position of the vertical and horizontal planes such
as the position of the saw blade (vertical) to the
table surface (horizontal).
Push Board/Push Stick: An instrument, usually of
wood or plastic, used to safely push the workpiece
through the cutting operation by keeping the
operator’s hands at a distance.
Rabbet: A cutting operation that creates an
L-shaped channel along the edge of the board.
Rip Cut: A cut made along the grain of the
workpiece.
Riving Knife: A metal plate fixed relative to the
blade, which moves with the blade as cutting depth
is adjusted. Thus, it maintains not only the kerf
opening in the workpiece, but also the knife-to-
blade distance. A low-profile riving knife sits lower
than the top edge of the blade, for making a nonthrough cut.
Splitter (Spreader): A stationary metal plate to
which the blade guard is attached that maintains
the kerf opening in the workpiece during a cutting
operation. (JET table saws use the superior Riving
Knife system instead.)
Standard Kerf: 1/8" gap made with a standard
blade.
Straightedge: A tool used to check that a surface
is flat or parallel.
Through Sawing: A sawing operation in which the
workpiece thickness is completely sawn through.
Proper blade height usually allows 1/8" of the top
of blade to extend above the wood stock. Keep the
blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls down,
and the riving knife in place over the blade.

6.3 Unpacking and cleanup
1. Remove all contents from shipping carton and
from inside of saw body. Do not discard carton
or packing material until saw is assembled and
running satisfactorily.
2. Inspect contents for shipping damage. Report
damage, if any, to your distributor.
3. Compare contents of shipping carton with the
contents list in this manual. Report shortages,
if any, to your distributor. Check machine first
to see if parts have been pre-installed.
4. Slide table saw off pallet onto cardboard or
pad to prevent scratching table surface. Keep
saw upside down.
Install both screws first, then tighten with 5mm
hex wrench. (Note: If more clearance is
needed to insert a screw, see sect. 6.6 to
temporarily mount a handwheel and tilt the
trunnion out of the way.)
2. Install four levelers with hex nuts (HP6/14).
3. Turn saw right-side up and allow the feet to
adjust to floor surface. Place a level on table,
and adjust the levelers as needed. Tighten hex
nuts up against leg with 10mm wrench to
secure setting.
6.5 Extension wings
See Figure 6-4.
Wings are available in cast iron or stamped steel.
Make sure mating surfaces are clean and free of
burrs.
Attach each extension wing to saw table using four
screws and washers (HP7/13). Do not fully tighten
yet.
Assembly Tip: If you are doing this without an
assistant, lift extension wing perpendicular to table
edge. Install a center screw and washer, and make
snug. Then pivot wing parallel to saw table to insert
remaining three screws.

6.4 Installing legs and levelers
See Figure 6-3.
1. Mount legs (K) to cabinet using two M8 screws
with washers (HP8/13) into each leg as shown.
Figure 6-4
6.5.1 Leveling extension wings
Note: The following instructions show assembly of
the cast wings. The stamped steel wings may have
a tendency to sag until rails are installed, and may
need further leveling adjustments during rail
installation.
Level extension wings to saw table using a straight
edge. A metal straight edge is ideal, though a
carefully jointed board may also be used.
Two methods are described below: one using a
rubber mallet, the other using clamps on the table
edges.
12
Method 1 (Figure 6-5):
1. Shift extension wing so it is slightly above saw
table surface.
2. Begin by tightening the screws beneath
extension wing that secure it to saw table.
Tighten these just enough to hold wing in
place but loose enough to change wing height
by tapping on it. (Tap with rubber mallet, or
hammer over a flat block of wood. Never use a
steel-faced hammer directly on the tables.)
3. Lay straight edge across saw table and
extension wing, extending it out past edge of
wing as shown in Figure 6-5.
4. Move straight edge to several places along
wing, as you continue to nudge wing level with
saw table. Also brush your fingertips over the
seam to ensure the transition feels smooth. As
each area of wing becomes flush with table,
tighten screw under that area. Continue until
all screws are fully tightened. NOTE: Make
sure front edge of wing remains flush with front
edge of saw table.
5. Repeat above steps for opposite extension
wing.

6.6 Handwheels
See Figure 6-4.
Note: The two handwheels look identical but have
different sized mounting holes.
1. On front of table saw, slide spacer (HP4,
Figure 6-4) onto shaft followed by handwheel
with large mounting hole (C). The flat side of
handwheel hole aligns with flat side on shaft.
2. Fasten in place by screwing in lock knob
(HP3).
Figure 6-5: leveling extension wings, method 1
Method 2 (Figure 6-6):
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 from Method 1.
2. Position clamps over seam, one at front, one
at back of table. Use a pad or flat block
beneath clamp jaw to prevent damage to table
surface. See Figure 6-6.
3. Tighten both clamps to align front and back
edges of tables. Make sure front edge of wing
remains flush with front edge of saw table.
4. Tighten screws incrementally, and position
straight edge at various places across seam,
especially checking at the center. Make further
adjustments as needed.
5. Fully tighten screws.
3. Slide handwheel with small mounting hole (D)
onto shaft on right side of table saw, aligning
flat side of hole with flat side on shaft.
4. Secure handwheel with lock washer and screw
(HP9), using 4mm hex wrench.
6.7 Motor cover
See Figure 6-7.
Install motor cover (J) with four pan head screws
and washers (HP12/14).

6.9 Wood extension table
To install the optional wood table, consult manual
M-725005, which accompanies your fence
assembly, then proceed to sect. 6.11.
6.10 Switch bracket
See Figure 6-8.
Use two screws with washers (HP-11) to secure
switch bracket to front rail.
Figure 6-8
6.11 Dust collection
Use of a dust collection system (not provided) is
strongly recommended during table saw operation.
It will help keep the shop clean, as well as prevent
potential health issues due to dust inhalation.
A dust collection system, with minimum capacity of
400 CFM (cubic feet per minute) should be
connected to the port via a 4-inch diameter hose
(not included) and secured with a hose clamp.
Note: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this
purpose.
An extensive line of JET dust collectors is
available; contact your dealer or visit our website
for information.

5. Slide tabs of riving knife (D) into slot between
the two blocks, all the way down onto
mounting stud.
6. Push down lever (A) to secure riving knife.
The clamping block (Figure 6-9) is adjusted at the
factory and no further adjustment of blade guard
and riving knife assembly should be necessary.
However, proper alignment is very important.
Before operating table saw, read sect. 8.3, Riving knife alignment, to verify and follow the adjustment
procedure if necessary.
6.13 Anti-kickback pawls
See Figures 6-10 and 6-11.
1. Push and hold button (D) on opposite side of
the head to release the catch pin. Mount pawl
assembly straight down, in the location shown
in Figure 10.
2. Pivot head and push it downward (Figure 6-11)
until there is an audible click. Make sure you
hear the click to verify that pawl assembly is
secure.
6.12 Riving knife
See Figure 6-9.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Set saw blade to 90° (vertical) position and
raise it all the way (refer to sect. 8.1).
3. Remove table insert by rotating locking knob
(shown at M, Figure 6-14) and lift up insert
using finger hole.
Use care when working around
an installed blade.
4. Through the saw table opening, pull up lever
(A, Figure 6-9). The floating clamp block (B)
will move away from the fixed block (C),
leaving a gap.
