all focalcodesand ordinances.Improper connectionof

CAUSES OF KICKBACK

Kickbackcan occurwhen theblade stallsor binds,kick-

ingtheworkpieca backtowardyouwith greatforce and

speed. If yourhandsare near the saw blade, theymay

be jerked loosefromthe workpieceand may contactthe

blade. Kickbackcancause seriousinjury.Use precautions

to avoidthe risks.

Kickback can be caused by any actionthatpinchesthe

blade in the wood such as:

• Making a cutwith incorrect blade depth

• Sawlnginto knots or nailsin theworkpiece

• Twistingthewood while makinga out

• Failingto supportwork

• Forcinga cut

• Cuttingwarped orwet lumber

• Us{ngthe wrong blade for thetype of cut

• Not following oorrect operatingprocedures

• Misusingthe saw

• Failingto usethe an_-kick.baokpawls

• Cuttingwith a dull, gummed-up, or h'npmperiy set

b_ad_

AVOIDING KICKBACK

• Always use the correctblade depth setting.The top of

the blade teeth shouldclearthe workpieceby 1/8 in. to

114in.

• Inspect the work for knotsor nailsbeforebeginninga

cut KnocY,out any loose knotsw_tha hamme_'.Never

saw into a loose knot orna|(.

• Always usethe ripfencewhen ripcuttingand themiter

gaugewhen crosscutting.Thishelpspreventtwisting

thewood inthe cut.

• Always use cLsan,sharp, and properly-setblades,

Never make outs with dullblades.

• TOavoid pinchingthe blade, supportthe work properly

beforebeginninga cut,

• When making a cut. usesteady,evenpressure.Never

force outs.

• Do not cutwet orwarped lumber.

• Always herdyourworkplece fLrmtywith both hands or

with pushsticks.Keep yourbodyin a balanoed posi-

tionto be ready toresist kickbackshouldit occur.

Never stand direc_yin line withthe blade.

• Use the righttype of blade for the cutbeing made.

TYPES OF CUTS

See Figure25.

There aresixbas;ccuts:1) the crosscut, 2) the rip cut, 3)

the miter cut, 4}the bevelcross cut, 5) the beveldp cut,

and 6) the compound(bevel}mitercut. Altothercutsare

making each kind of cutare givenlater inthissection.

_k WARNING: Alwaysmake surethe blade guard

and anti-kickback p_wIs are in place and work'rng

proparty when makingthese cutsto avoidpossible

iniury.

Crosscuts are straight90° cuts rr_ds acrossthe grain of

the workpiaos.The wood isfed into the outat a 90° angle

to the blade, and the blade isvertical.

Rip cuts are made withthe grain ofthewood. To avoid

kickbackwhilemaking a rip cut, make sure one side of

the wood ridesfirmly againstthe ripfence.

Miter cutsare madewith the wood at any angleto ths

blade otherthan 90°.The blade isverticaLMiter cuts

tend to "creep" away from the miterfence during cutting.

This can be controlledby holdingthe workplace astutely

againstthe miter fence.

_" WARNING; Always usea pushstickwhen cutting

small pieces of wood, and atsoto finishthe cutwhen

rippinga long narrowpiece ofwood, to preventyour

handsfrom ge'_t.ingo{ossto the blade.

Bevel cutsare made with anangled blade. Bevel cross

cuts are acrossthe wood grain,and bevelrip Gutsarewith

the grain.The rip fence mustalways be on the left sideof

FEATHERBOARD

A fsatherboard is a device usedto heJpcontroithe

workpisce by guidingit securelyagainstthetable or

fence. Faatharboardsareespecially usefulwhen ripping

small workpiecesand for completingnon-throughcuts.

The end isangled with a numberofshort kerfsto givea

frictionhold on theworkplaceand lockedin place on the

table withe C-clamp, Testthatit can resistkickback.

A WARNING: Placethe featharboardagainstthe

uncutportionofthe wor_oieceto avoidkickback that

could cause seriouspersonaliniury.

HOW TO MAKE A FEATHERBOARD

See F/gum26.

The featherboard isan excellent project for the saw.

Select s solid piece of lumber approximately 3/4 in.

thick, 3-5/8 in.wide and 18 in. long. Mark the center of

the width on one end of the stock. Miter one-half of the

width to 30@and miter the other half of the same end

to 45° (see page 32 for information on miter cuts). Mark

the board from the point at 6 in., 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in.

Drilla 3/8 in. hoteat the 8 in., 10 in., and 12 in. marks.

Prepare the saw for ripping as discussed on page 31.

Set the rip fence to allow approximately a 1/4 in.

"finger" to be cut in the stock. Feed the stock onlyto

the mark previouslymade st 6 in. Turn the saw OFF

and allow the blade to completety stop rotating before

removing the stock. Reset the rip fence and cut spaced
