Hey all, I was ripping some OSB leftovers from an earlier roofing job. As I attempted to make the second cut the board jammed and I noticed that the table insert was lifting up at the front. I hit the STOP switch (with my knee) and waited until the blade stopped before I moved anything , fearing that the slightest twitch could cause the insert to strike the blade. After a long sigh of relief I inspected to see what may have caused this.
What occurred; there was some adhesive material on the board that adhered to the blade guard during the first cut. The guard then stuck to the insert and during the second cut when the board raised up the guard it also lifted the insert.
I've got to be more observant. Marc
