Harbor Freight Tools 45804 manual Never allow the woodstock to to it

11.Before trying new or complicated techniques, study the procedure, and practice with scrap wood.

12.Make sure the woodstock is free from loose knots, flaws, nails, and from any other foreign objects that could damage the Saw Blade or cause “kickback”.

13.Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled woodstock to lift up and out of the Table Saw toward the operator. When the Saw Blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the tool rapidly back toward the operator. If the Saw Blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the Saw Blade can raise the workpiece (walk-up), and eject it towards the operator. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

•Maintain control of the woodstock at all times. rest on the moving Saw Blade without holding on

Never allow the woodstock to to it.

•When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, turn off the Power Switch and hold the woodstock motionless on the Table Saw until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the woodstock from the Table Saw or pull the woodstock backward while the Saw Blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of Saw Blade binding.

•When restarting a woodstock on the Table Saw, center the Saw Blade in the pre-cut kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the woodstock. If the Saw Blade is binding, the woodstock may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the Table Saw is restarted.

•Support large panels to minimize the risk of Saw Blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel and near the outer edge of the panel.

•Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly set Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade binding and kickback.

•Never use the Fence Assembly (75) as a guide when crosscutting.

•Never rip a woodstock that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide along the Rip Fence.

•Push the wood stock past the Saw Blade prior to release.

14.Check all guards for proper operation before each use. Never disable any guards. Do not operate the Table Saw if the Guard Assembly does not move freely and close instantly. Before each use, raise the Guard Assembly and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the Saw Blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
