Ripping
Serious injury can be caused by kickback.
Kickback is a high-speed expulsion of stock
from the table saw toward an operator. The
operator or bystanders may be struck by
flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be
pulled into the blade during kickback.

Turn OFF the saw and allow the blade to

ing could result in serious personal injury.
