GLOSSARY OF TERMS
1. Anti-kickback pawls: Kickback is a
hazard in which the workpiece is thrown
back toward the operator. The teeth on
the anti-kickback pawls point away from
the workpiece. If the workpiece should be
pulled back toward the operator, the teeth
dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce
the possibility of kickback.
2. Spreader/Riving Knife: A metal piece,
slightly thinner than the blade, that helps
to keep the kerf open and helps to prevent
kickback.
3. Arbor: The shaft on which a blade or
cutting tool is mounted.
4. Ripping or Rip Cut: A cutting operation
along the length of the workpiece.
5. Bevel Cut: A cutting operation made
with the blade at any angle other than
90° to the table surface.
6. Compound Cut: A crosscut made with
both a miter angle and a bevel angle.
7. Crosscut: A cutting or shaping operation
made across the grain or width of the
workpiece.
8. Miter Cut: A cutting operation made
with the workpiece at any angle other
than 90° to the blade.

9. Dado Cut: A non-through cut that
produces a square-sided notch or trough in
the workpiece (requires a special blade).
10. Non-Through Cut: Any cutting operation
where the blade does not extend completely
through the thickness of the workpiece.
11. Through-sawing: Any cutting operation
where the blade extends completely through
the thickness of the workpiece.
12. Freehand: Performing a cut without the
workpiece being guided by a fence, miter
gauge, or other aid. Never perform any cut
freehand with this saw.
13. Kickback: A hazard that can occur when
the blade binds or stalls, throwing the
workpiece back toward the operator.
14. Push Stick: A push stick should be used
for narrow ripping operations. These aids
help to keep the operator’s hands well
away from the blade.
15. Worktable: Surface where the workpiece
rests while performing a cutting, drilling,
planning, or sanding operation.
16. Kerf: The material removed by the blade
in a through-cut, or the slot produced by the
blade in a non-through or partial cut.
