KICKBACKS
A "KICKBACK"
occurs during
a rip-type
operation
when a part or all of the workpiece
is thrown
back
violently
toward the operator.
Keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade,
out of line with a possible "Kickback."
Kickbacks
and possible
injury
from
them --- can
usually be avoided by:
A. Maintaining
the rip fence parallel to the sawblade.
B. Keeping
the sawblade
sharp.
Replace or sharpen
antikickback
pawls when points become dull.
C.

D.
E.
F.

Keeping sawblade guard, spreader, and antikickback
pawls in place and operating
properly.
The spreader
must be in alignment
with the sawblade and the
pawls
must stop a kickback
once it has started.
Check their action before ripping.
NOT ripping work that is twisted or warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all the
way past [he sawblade.
Using a push stick for ripping widths of 2 to 6 in.,
and an auxiliary
fence and push block for ripping
widths
narrower
than
2 in.

P. Plastic and composition

Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line

are more conveniently
worked
and with greater safety if an auxiliary
wood facing is
attached
to the miter gauge using the holes provided.
However, the facing must not interfere
with the proper
functioning
of the sawblade guard.
13. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting
tool rotates
toward
you
when
standing
in normal
operating
position.
Also make sure the cutting
tool, arbor collars
and arbor nut are installed properly.
Keep the cutting

Keeo all guards in place whenever
possible,
14. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for
an operating
speed less than 3450 RPM. Never use a
cutting
tool
larger in diameter
than the diameter
for
which
the saw was designed.
For greatest safety and
efficiency
when ripping,
use the maximum
diameter
blade for which
the saw is designed, since under these
conditions
the spreader is nearest the blade.
