and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to

creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage.

area with enough extra length to al-
low free movement while working.
Secure loose work pieces using a 3.
vise or clamps (not included) to pre-
vent movement while working.
There must not be hazardous ob-4.

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.
Use the Fence when rip cutting and 4.
the Miter Gauge when cross-cutting.
Use clean, sharp and properly-set 5.
blades. Do not use dull blades.
Support the workpiece properly to 6.
avoid pinching.
