9. Kickback oc c ur s when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If you do
not have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during ext ended peri ods of oper ation.
11. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemi cals known to cause cancer , bir th defects or other r eproductiv e harm . Some examples
of these chemic als are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalli ne sil ic a from bricks, cement and other m asonry pr oducts.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
12. Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

The most common accident s among table saw users, acco rding to statist ics, can
be linked to kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from the table that can strike the
operator. Kickback can also result in operator’s hands being pull ed into the blade.
Kickback Prevention
Tips to avoid the most common causes of
kickback:
• Make sure the blade splitter is always
aligned wit h the blade. A workpiece can bind
or stop the flow of the cut if the blade spl itt er
is misaligned and resul t in kickback.
• Use the blade spli tter during every cut. The
blade splitter maintains the kerf in the
workpiece, which will reduce the chance of
kickback.
• Never attempt fr eehand cut s. The workpiece
must be f ed perf ectly parall el with t he blade,
otherwise kickback will likely occur. Always
use the rip fence or crosscut fence to
support the workpi ec e.
• Make sure that the r ip fence is parallel with
the blade. If not, the c hanc es of ki c k bac k ar e
very high. Tak e the time t o check and adjust
the rip fence.
• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the
middle of a cut, the chance of binding,
resulting in kickback, is greatly increased.
Pro tection Ti ps from
Kickback
Kickback can happen even if precautions are
taken to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to
protect you if kickback DOES occur:
• Stand to the side of the blade when cutting.
An ejected workpiece usual ly travel s directly
in front of the blade.
• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your
eyes and face are the most vul nerable part
of your body.
• Never plac e your hand behind the blade. If
kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled
into the blade.
• Use a push stic k to keep your hands far ther
away from the moving blade. If a kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take
the damage that your hand would have
received.

Definitions And Terminology
Arbor: Metal shaft that connects the drive
mechanism to the blade.
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilt of the saw arbor and blade
between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting
operation.
Blade Guard: Mechanism mounted over the
saw blade to prev ent accidental c ontact with the
cutting edge.
Crosscut: Sawing oper ation in which the mi ter
gauge is used to cut across the grain of the
workpiece.
Dado Blade: Blade(s) used f or cutting grooves
and rabbets.
Dado Cut: Fl at bottomed groov e in the face of
the workpiece made wit h a dado blade.
Featherboard: Device used to keep a board
against the rip fence or table that allows the
operator to keep hands away from the saw
blade.
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 work piece binds on the saw
blade or between the sa w blade and rip f ence
(or other fixed object). To minimize or prevent
injury from kickbacks, see the Operating
Instructions section.
Miter Gauge: A component that controls the
workpiece movement while performing a
crosscut of vari ous angl es.
Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that
requires the rem oval of the blade guard spl itter,
resulting in a c ut that does not protrude through
the top of the workpiece (includes Dado and
rabbet cuts).
The blade guard and split ter must be re-installed
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 angl e) intersection or
position of the vertical and horizontal planes
such as the posi tion of the saw blade (v ertical)
to the table surfac e ( hori z ontal).
Push Board/Push St ick: A n instr ument used to
safely push the workpiece through the cutting
operation.
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.
Splitter: Metal pl ate to which t he blade guard i s
attached that maintains the kerf opening in the
workpiece when performing a cutting operation.
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 a
1/8" of the top of the blade t o extend above the
wood stock.

Assembling the Saw to the Stand
Do not plug the table saw into
the power source until all assembly has been
completed! Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
1. Turn the stand upside down and place ont o the
table saw (Figure 3)
Note: The side with the JET logo (A) is the
front side of the stand and will be on the same
side as the Warning label ( B ) on the table saw.
