Statistics show that most common acci- dents among table saw users can be linked to kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion of stock from the table saw toward its opera- tor. In addition to the danger of the opera- tor or others in the area being struck by the flying stock, it is often the case that the operator’s hands are pulled into the blade during the kickback.

Protecting Yourself
