Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before they can be made safe to cut.

•Material Type: This machine is intended for cutting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementitious backer board creates extremely fine dust and may reduce the life of the bearings. This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a table saw may lead to injury.

•Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can become dislodged and hit the operator, cause kickback, or break the blade, which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they can't be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.

› Large/Loose Knots:Loose knots can become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Choose workpieces that do not have large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting through them.

› Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with a moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blades, increases the risk of kickback, yields poor results.

•Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being

cut. DO NOT use workpieces with these characteristics!

•Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped side is facing the table or the fence.
