c ) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off
against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being
cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition
and kickback.
d ) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A
misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade
and create kickback.
e ) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the
table and fence when making non-through cuts such as
rabbeting or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f ) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas
of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut
objects that can cause kickback.
g ) Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their
own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the
panel overhanging the table top.
h ) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is
twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge
to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped,
knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment
of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
i ) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or
horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and
cause kickback.
j ) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw
teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds,
it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw
is restarted.
k ) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set.
Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked
or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise
binding, stalling and kickback.
4) Table Saw Operating Procedure Warnings
a ) Turn off the table saw and remove or disconnect the
battery pack when removing the table insert, changing
the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife,
or blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended.
Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
b ) Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it
off and don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
c ) Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that provides enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and
uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
d ) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the
saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated
sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
e ) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not
properly secured may move or tip over.
f ) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before
the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can
be dangerous.
g ) Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre,
causing loss of control.
h ) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting
means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts.
These mounting means were specially designed for your saw, for
safe operation and optimum performance.
i ) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping
stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
j ) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the
proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes,
or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade
installation or use of accessories not recommended may cause
serious injury.
Additional Safety Rules for Saw Benches
WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other
materials may cause melted material to accumulate on the blade
tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of blade
overheating and binding while cutting.
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that
the teeth are pointing to the front of the saw bench.
• Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.
• Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and the larger face of the
clamp washer is against the blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct distance
from the blade - maximum 8 mm.
• Never operate the saw for through cut without the guard and
riving knife.
• Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
• Always keep the push stick in its store place when not in use.
• Do not use the guard for handling or transportation.
• Do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
• Never cut light alloy. The machine is not designed for
this application.
• Do not use abrasive disc or diamond cutting wheels
• In case of machine failure, immediately switch the machine off
and remove the battery. Report the failure and mark the machine
in suitable form which prevents that other persons use the
defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force
during cutting, ALWAYS switch the machine off and remove the
battery. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs
free. Turn the machine on and start a new cutting operation with
reduced feed force.
• NEVER attempt to cut a stack of loose pieces of material which
could cause loss of control or kickback. Support all materials securely.
Saw Blades
• Do not use saw blades that do not conform to the dimensions
stated in the Technical Data. Do not use any spacers to make
a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN847-1:2017, if intended for wood and
similar materials.
