14. dangers that can occur with a table saw In order to protect yourself from kickback it is essential to educate yourself about why and how it happens Below is a list of ways to protect yourself from kickback Do not stand directly behind the workpiece Should a kickback occur the workpiece may be launched at a high rate of speed in the direction from which it came If you are standing behind the workpiece it will hit you Instead stand off to the side in a location where you are still able to main tain total control Do not use the rip fence as a guide when crosscutting with the miter gauge The workpiece may pinch the blade causing kickback Use the miter gauge and the rip fence themselves never together Only use sharp clean blades Sharp blades will cut the material easier reducing the chance that the blade will get jammed up while cutting the workpiece Always replace or sharpen your dull blades Blades covered in resin are just as likely to cause kickback as a dull blade Never freehand a cut with the table saw The small twists or turns that are inherent with freehand cuts will cause kickback Keep your table saw clean Buildup of wood chips or dust or any other objects that may obstruct an otherwise smooth cut has the potential to cause kickback Cutting warped stock or stock with loose knots nails or other defects will cause kickback Always lock the mobile base in posi tion when cutting stock The
