• Never use fence and miter gauge together without using
a cut off block (gauge) as described in the Cutting Aids
and Accessories section of this manual.
• The proper throat plate must be in place at all times.
• If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates
excessively, cease operating immediately until the
source has been located and the problem corrected.
• Never perform freehand cutting, plunge cutting, re-
sawing or cove cutting.
AVOID KICKBACK
A kickback can occur when the workpiece pinches the
blade, or binds between the saw blade and the rip fence
or other fixed object. This can cause the workpiece to rise
from the table and/or be thrown back toward the operator.
See instructions for reducing the risk of kickback, in the
Table Saw Safety Rules section of this manual.
IF KICKBACK OCCURS, turn the saw "OFF" and verify
proper alignment of the blade, riving knife and miter
gauge or rip fence, and the proper functioning of the
riving knife, anti-kickback assembly and blade guard
assembly before resuming work.
