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.

tight enough when the handle is lowered,
adjust the hex nut (G) with a 10mm socket.

Calibrating the Rip Fence S c ale

1. Attach the rip fence to the table (as de scribed

in the previ ous section) to the right of t he saw
blade, but do not l ower the handle to cl am p the
fence to the table.

2. Slide the fence against the saw blade.

You will need to raise the blade guar d and the
anti-kick pawl to provide clearance for the
fence.

With the fenc e snug against the saw blade, cl amp
the fence in position by lowering the handle. The
hairline on t he indicator (A) should line up wit h 0"
on the rail (C). If they do not line up:

3. With a 12mm wrench, slightly loosen the six

hex nuts that secure the front rail (F) to the
table (C) and extension wings.

4. Adjust the position of the front rail so the red

hairline indicator (A, Fig. 17) on the fence scale
lines up with 0" (B, Fig. 18) on the rail.

Remember to keep t he fence snug against the
saw blade.

Adjustments

Blade Raising and Tilt Mechanism

Never try to force the tilting
mechanism past the 45º or 90º stops! This may
cause the blade to go out of alignment!

Referring to Fi gur e 22:
To raise or lower the saw blade, loosen the lock

knob (A) and tur n the handwheel (B) on the front of
the saw until the desir ed height i s reached. T i ghten
the lock knob. The blade should be adjusted
between 1/8" to 1/ 4" above the top surf ace of the

turning cloc k wise.

Adjusting 45º and 90º Positive Stops

1. Disconnect the saw fr om the power source.

2. Raise the table saw blade to its maximum

height using the handwheel .

Figure 22

3. Set the blade at 90º to the tabl e by turning the

blade tilting handwheel counterclockwise
(D, Fig. 22) as far as it will go. Do not force
beyond stop.

4. Place a square (A, Fig. 23) on the table and

check to see that t he blade (B, F ig. 23) is at a
90º angle to the table. Make sure that the
square is not touchi ng a blade tooth.

If adjustment is required:

5. Back out the 90º adjust setscrew (turn

Operations

Table Saws

Familiarize yourself with the location and
operation of all controls and adjustm ents and the
use of accessories such a s the miter gauge and
rip fence.

Kickbacks

Serious injury can result from kickbacks which
occur when a work pi ec e binds on the saw blade
or binds between the saw blade an d ri p fenc e or
other fixed object. This binding can cause the
work piece to lift up and be thrown toward the
operator.

Listed below are conditions, which can cause
kickbacks:

• Confining the cut off piece when crosscutti ng
or ripping.

• Releasing the work pi ece before compl eting
the operation or not pushing the work piece
all the way past the saw blade.

• Not using the splitter when ripping or not
maintaining alignment of the splitter with the
saw blade.

• Using a dull saw blade.

• Not maintaining alignment of the rip fence so

that it tends to angle toward rather than
away from the saw blade fr ont t o bac k.

• Applying feed force when ripping to the
cutoff (free) section of the work piece
instead of the section between the saw
blade and fence.

• Ripping wood that is twisted (not flat), or
does not have a strai ght edge, or a twisted
grain.

To minimize or prev ent injury from kickbacks:

Figure 25

Dull, badly set, improper, or improperly filed
cutting tool s and cutting tools with gum or resin
adhering to them can cause accidents. Never
use a cracked saw blade. The use of a sharp,
well maint ained, and correc t cutting tool for the
operation will help to avoid injuries.

Support the work properly and hold it firmly
against the gauge or f ence. Use a push stick or
push block when ri pping short, narrow (6" widt h
or less), or thin work. Use a push block or miter
gauge holddown when dadoing or molding.

For increased safety in crosscutting, use an
auxiliar y wood faci ng (Figur e 26) att ached t o the
miter gauge using the holes provided in the
gauge.

• Avoid conditions listed above.

• Wear a safety face shield, goggles, or

glasses.

• Do not use the m it er gauge and ri p fence i n
the same operation unless provision is made
by use of a f acing board on the f ence so a s
to allow the cutoff section of the workpiece
to come free before the next cut is started
(See Figure 33).

• As the machine rec eives use, the operation
of the anti-kickback pawls should be
checked periodically (Figure 24). If the pawls
do not stop the reverse motion of a
workpiece, resharpen al l the points.

• Where possible, keep your face and body
out of line wit h potential kickbacks includi ng
when starting or stopping the machine.

Figure 26

Never use the fence as a length stop when
crosscutti ng. Do not hold or touch the f ree end
or cutoff section of a workpiece. On through­sawing operations, t he cutoff section must NOT
be confined.

Always keep your hands out of the line of the
saw blade and never reach back of the cutti ng
blade with either hand to hold the workpiece.

Bevel rippi ng cuts should always be made with
the fence on the right si de of the saw blade so
that the blade tilts away from the fence and
minimizes the possi bili t y of the work bi ndi ng and
the resulting kickback.

21

Rip Sawing

Ripping is where the work piece i s fed with the
grain into the saw blade using the fence as a
guide and a positioning device to ensure the
desired width of cut (Figure 27).

Figure 27

Before startin g a ripping cu t,
be sure the fence is clamped securely and
aligned properly.

• Never rip freehand or use the mi ter gauge in

combination with the fence.

• Never rip workpi ec es shorter than the saw

blade diamet er.

• Never reach behind the blade with either

hand to hold down or remove the cutoff
piece with the saw blade rotat ing.

Always use the blade guard, splitter and anti­kickback pawls. Make sure the splitter is
properly aligned. When wood is cut along the
grain, the kerf tends to close and bind on the
blade and kickback s can occ ur .

on the front rail, or by measuring the distance
between the blade (B ) and fence (A ). Stand out
of line with the saw blade and workpiece to
avoid sawdust and splinters coming off the blade
or a kickback, if one shoul d oc c ur .

If the work pi ece does not hav e a straight edge,
nail an auxiliary straight edged board on it to
provide one again st the fence. To c ut properly,
the board must make good contact with the
table. If it is warped, tur n the hollow side down.

In ripping, use one hand to hol d the board down
against the fence or fixture, and the other to
push it into t he bl ade between the bl ade and the
fence. If the workpiece is narrower than 6" or
shorter than 12", u se a push stick or push block
to push it through between the fence and saw
blade (Fi gure 29). Nev er push in a loc ati on such
that the pushing hand is in line with the blade.
Move the hand serving as a hold-down a safe
distance from the blade as the cut nears
completion. For very narrow ripping where a
push stick cannot be used, u se a push block or
auxiliary fence. Always push the workpiece
completely past the blade at the end of a cut to
minimize the possibility of a kickback.

Note: A caution decal is installed on the guard
and splitter assembly warning of the hazard of
misalignment.

Figure 28

The rip fence (A, Fig. 28) should be set for the
width of t he cut (C, Fig. 28) by using the scale

Figure 29

Figure 30

22

When ripping l ong boards, use a support at the
front of the tabl e, such as a roller stand, and a
support or "tailman" at the rear as shown in
Figure 30.

Never use the rip f ence beyond the point where
the carriage i s flush with the end of the rails.

Have the blade ext end about 1/8" abov e the t op
of the workpiece. Exposi ng the blade abov e this
point can be hazardous.

Resawing

Resawing is a ripping operation in which thick
boards are cut i nto thi nner ones. Narrow board s
up to 3" can be resawed in one pass. Wider
boards up to 6" must be resawed in two passes.

In resawing wider boards, adjust the blade
height so as to overl ap the two cuts by 1/2" as
shown in Figure 31. Too deep a first cut can
result in binding and possible kickbacks on the
second cut. Always use the same side of the
board against the fence for both cuts.

Crosscutting should never be done freehand nor
should the fence be used as an end stop unless
an auxili ary block is clamped t o the front of the
blade area such that t he cut off piece comes f ree
of the block before cutting starts (Figure 33).

Figure 33

Length stops should not be used on the free end
of the workpiece in the cutoff area.

Do not crosscut workpieces shorter than 6".
Before starti ng a cut, be sure the mit er gauge is
securely cl amped at the de sired angle. Hold the
workpiece firmly against the table and back
against the miter gauge. Always use the saw
guard and spli tter and make sure the spli tter is
properly aligned.

Figure 31

Crosscutting

Crosscutting i s where the workpi ece i s f ed cross
grain into the saw blade using the miter gauge to
support and position the workpiece (Figure 31) .

For 90 degree crosscutting, most operators
prefer to use the left-hand miter gauge slot.
When using it i n this position, hold the workpiece
against the gauge wi th t he lef t hand and use the
right hand to advance the workpiece. When
using the right hand slot for miter and c ompound
crosscutting so that the blade tilt s away f rom th e
gauge, the hand positions are reversed.

When using the miter gauge, the workpiece
must be held firml y and advanced smoot hly at a
slow rate. If the workpiece is not held firmly, it
can vibrate c ausing it to bind on the blade and
dull the saw teeth.

Figure 32

Figure 34

23

To improve t he effec tiveness of the mit er gauge
in crosscutting, some users mount an auxiliary
wooden extension f ace (with a glued-on strip of
sandpaper) to the miter gauge as shown in
Figure 34.

Provide auxiliary support for any workpiece
extending beyond t he table top with a tendency
to sag and lift up off the table.

Stop rods can be used in the hol es provided in
the miter gauge for repetitive work of equal
length. Do not use a stop rod on the f ree end of
a workpiece. It should be used on the side of the
miter gauge opposite the saw blade.

Have the blade ext end about 1/8" abov e the t op
of the workpiece. Exposi ng the blade abov e this
point can be hazardous.

Align-a-rip

same manner as ripping or crosscutting except
the fence or miter gauge shoul d be used on the
right-hand side of the saw blade to provide
added safety in avoiding a binding action
between the saw bl ade and the tabl e top. W hen
beveling with the miter gauge, the workpiece
must be held firml y to prevent creeping.

The yellow align-a-rip pad on the saw table is
used for creating a mark that lines up the
workpiece with the saw blade. After the first
workpiece is cut with the miter gauge, turn the
saw off and pull the miter gauge together with
the workpiece back. The workpiece must be
unmoved and still against the miter fence. The
cut edge of the workpiece is pul led over the pad
and the pad can be marked with a pencil
(A, Fig. 35). Now, when cutting the next marked
workpiece, the workpiece can be lined up with
the line on the pad and cut.

Figure 36

Crosscut – Crosscut s made at an angl e to the
edge of the workpiece are called miters
(Figure 37). Set the miter gauge at the required
angle, lock the miter gauge, and make the cut
the same as a normal crosscut except the
workpiece must be held extra firmly to prevent
creeping.

Note: When making compound miters (with
blade tilted) use the miter gauge in the right
hand slot to provide more hand clearance and
safety.

Have the blade extend only 1/8" above the top of
the workpiece. Exposing the blade above this
point can be hazardous.

Figure 35

Bevel and Miter Operations

Bevel Cut – A bevel cut is a special type of

operation where the saw blade is tilted at an
angle less than 90 degrees to the table top
(Figure 36). Operations are performed in the

Figure 37

24

Dado Cutting – Dadoing is cutting a wide
groove into a workpiece or cutting a rabbet
along the edge of a workpiece. A dado insert,
shown in Figure 38, is necessary for this type of
operation.

A dado insert (stock # 708098) designed to fit
the JWTS-10 Table Saw can be ordered from
your dealer or WMH Tool Group.

Do not use the standard table
insert for dadoing operations.

Safety Devices

Feather Board

The feather board (Figure 39) should be made
of straight grain hardwood approximately 1" thick
and 4" to 8" wide depending on t he size of the
machine. The length i s developed i n ac c or danc e
with intended use. Feather boards can be
fastened to the table or rip fence by use of
C-clamps. Alt ernat iv ely, drill ed and tapped h ol es
in the tabl e top allow the use of wing nut s and
washers as a m ethod of clamping. If this method
of fasteni ng is used, provi de slots in the f eather
board for adjustment. (The illustration shows a
method of attaching and use of the feather
board as a vertical comb. The horizontal
application is essentially the same except that
the attachment is to the table top.)

Figure 38

The process of cut ting 1/8" to 13/16" groov es in
workpieces is accomplished by the use of a
stacked dado blade set or an adjustable type
blade mounted on the saw arbor. By using
various combinations of the stacked dado
blades, or properly setting the dial on an
adjustable blade, an accurate width dado can be
made. This is very useful for shelving, making
joints, tenoning, etc. The guard, splitter, and
anti-kickback pawls supplied with the saw
should be used f or all cutting operations where
they can be used. W hen performing operati ons
where the guard can not be used, as in some
dadoing operations, alternative safety
precautions should be taken. These include
push sticks, f eather boards, filler pieces, fixtures,
jigs and any other appropriate device that can
be utiliz ed to keep operator's hands away f rom
the blade. Upon completion of the operation
requiri ng removal of the guard, the entire guard
assembly m ust be placed back on the m achine
in its proper working or der .

Figure 39

Never use a dado head in a
tilted posi tion . Never operate the saw wi thou t
the blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback
pawls for operations where they can be
used.

Filler Piece

Push Stick & Push Block

A filler piec e (Figure 40) is necessary for nar row
ripping and permits the blade guard to remain on
the machine. It also provides space f or the safe
use of a push stick.

Figure 40 – Filler Piec e

The use of a pus h block or push stick provides
an added level of safet y for the operator.

See the templates in Figures 41 and 42 for
construction details, or purchase one from the
JET, Performax and Powermatic Woodworking

Machinery and Acces s or ies catalog.
