Until you have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT oper- ate this table saw! REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. hands or arms will be pulled into the saw blade if kickback occurs. WORKPIECE CONTROL. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. OPERATOR POSITION. CUT-OFF PIECES.
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...

Note: It's permissible for the back of the fence to pivot outward not more than being parallel to the blade. This creates a slightly larger opening between the fence and the blade, at the rear of the blade, to reduce the risk of workpiece binding or burning as it is fed through the cut.
Figure 25 Figure 25. Figure 26. Dust Collection DO NOT operate the Model G0661 without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

NOTICE Some thin-kerf blades may be thinner than the thickness of the splitter. DO NOT install these blades on the saw, because the workpiece will hit the splitter during opera- tion, possibly causing kickback. Always make sure the kerf of a blade you install is not thinner than the splitter.
NOTICE Some thin-kerf blades may be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife. DO NOT install these blades on the saw, because the workpiece will hit the riving knife dur- ing operation, possibly causing kickback. Always make sure the kerf of a blade you install is not thinner than the riving knife.
Workpiece Inspection Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following: Material Type: Foreign Objects: Large/Loose Knots: Wet or "Green" Stock: Excessive Warping: Minor Warping: Non-Through & Through Cuts Non-Through Cuts Figure 40 Figure 40. Through Cuts Figure 41 Figure 41.

Using a Stacked or Wobble Dado Blade DO NOT use a dado blade larger than 8" in diameter on this saw! The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple shal- low cuts to achieve the desired depth of cut.

Note: Rabbet cutting requires the use of a sacrifi- cial fence attachment, as shown in Figure 49. Cutting Rabbets with Dado Blade DO NOT use a dado blade larger than 8" in diameter on this saw! Figure 49 Figure 49.
Note: Include marks on the edge of the workpiece to clearly identify the intended cut while it is laying flat on the saw table. The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick- back by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut.
