SAFETY INFORMATION
Cutting procedures warnings
- a) DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
- b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
- c) Never use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the miter gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
- d) When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm. “Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
- e) Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
- f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
- g) Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand”means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
- h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade
Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
- a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
- b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
- c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
- d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
- e) Use a feather board to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control thethe workpiece in the event of a kickback.
- f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
- g) Support large panels to minimize the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
- h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a miter gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
- i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
- j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING
- Cut sides of box at all four corners.
- IMPORTANT: Before assembly, separate upper and lower packing trays. Leave base section in lower tray while completing steps 1 – 8.
- TABLE STAND ASSEMBLY
- IMPORTANT: Before assembly, separate upper and lower packing trays. Leave base section in lower tray while completing steps 1 – 8.
- First remove washers (KK) and nuts (JJ) from lower right leg assembly, then attach wheels (K) to lower right leg assembly (J) with washers (KK) (one on each side of wheel) and nut (JJ). Check orientation of wheels and if wheels rub against frame, reverse orientation. Set wheel assembly aside for later use.

Kobalt KT10152 Portable Table Saw Blade-FAQs
How do I set the teeth on a saw blade?
Position the handset on the teeth at one end of the blade, aligning the stamp with the first tooth. Press the grip together so the stamp pushes the tooth against the anvil, setting it in place.
What is a band saw used for?
A band saw is a versatile tool used for cutting wood, metal, or even meat. The blade runs on two pulleys and is manually fed through a work table by the operator.
How do I maintain a table saw blade?
Soak the blade in water mixed with a tablespoon of laundry detergent for 30–45 minutes. Wipe off debris with a rag or gently scrub with a toothbrush for tougher buildup.
What does cross-cutting mean on a table saw?
Cross-cutting refers to cutting across the grain of the material. While a miter saw is often better suited for this task, a table saw can also perform cross-cuts with appropriate tools and adjustments.
How does a saw blade work?
A saw blade cuts by the tips of its teeth creating parallel cutting lines as they move through the material. The teeth are bent outward in opposite directions to form these lines efficiently.
What is a saw tooth blade?
A saw tooth blade features thick carbide tips fused to a steel plate. The quality of these tips determines how long the blade stays sharp, how clean the cuts are, and how many times it can be re-sharpened.
What is the primary function of a table saw?
A table saw is primarily used for ripping wood along the grain, though it can also handle cross-cutting. Adjust the blade height and angle, then feed the material into the blade to make precise cuts.
How do I remove a circular saw blade?
Disconnect the saw from power, locate the blade lock button or pin, and lock the blade in place. Use a wrench to loosen the arbor nut counterclockwise, then remove the old blade carefully.
How can I reduce friction on a table saw?
To reduce friction and prevent rust, wax or oil the table surface regularly. Products like Bostik GlideCote Table & Tool Surface Sealant or paste wax are effective for this purpose.
What is the blade setting angle?
The blade setting angle refers to the angle between the blade airfoil’s chord at 0.7 radius and the rotation plane. A higher angle increases drag, while a lower angle reduces it for more efficient cutting.
When should I replace my table saw blade?
Replace the blade if it has broken or missing teeth, damaged carbide tips, or if repeated sharpening fails to restore cutting efficiency.
