to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled
woodstock to lift up and out from the Table Saw toward the operator. When the
Saw Blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the woodstock rapidly back toward the op-
erator. If the Saw Blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at
the back edge of the Saw Blade can raise the woodstock (walk up), and eject it
toward the operator. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operat-
ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
* Maintain control of the woodstock at all times. Never allow the woodstock
to rest on the moving Saw Blade without holding on to the woodstock.
* When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
turn off the Power Switch and hold the woodstock motionless on the Table
Saw until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the woodstock from the Table Saw or pull the woodstock backward
while the Saw Blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of Saw Blade binding.
* When restarting a woodstock on the Table Saw, center the Saw Blade in the
pre-cut kerf and check that the Saw Teeth are not engaged into the
woodstock. If the Saw Blade is binding, the woodstock may walk up or kick
back as the Table Saw is restarted.
* Support large panels with roller stands (not included) to minimize the risk
of Saw Blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel and near the outer
edge of the panel.
* Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Dull or improperly set
Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade
binding or kickback.
* Never use the Fence assembly as a guide when crosscutting.
* Never rip a wood stock that is twisted or warped, or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the Rip Fence.
* Push the woodstock past the Saw Blade prior to release.
